### "Workable is ok"

January 7, 2019

3.0

Pros

I am a former ADP eV5 user and while Workable is better, it could still use some work. The interface is nice and seems like it’s easy to find your way around but not as intuitive as I would like.

Cons

Could be more intuitive and is kind of a pain to intergrate with.

### "Great ATS tool "

February 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

Software is very easy to use. You can use it right away without the need to set many things up. Many new functionalities and integrations are added each year. Support is great and very responsive as well.

Cons

It's sometimes hard to know about the new features which have been released but I've heard they're working on improving this part.

### "Great Product"

February 9, 2019

4.0

I recently used workable for the first time to hire a new designer for our team, and although it is my first time using a hiring software at all so I don't have much to compare it to, I thought that it made the whole process very smooth and manageable!

Pros

I love that multiple people can be involved in the process simultaneously, being able to see my coworkers comments and compare notes right in the system is very helpful.

Cons

I wish the interface was slightly more user-friendly... it's a bit inefficient having to click back and forth between so many candidates. It would be great if there was a way to compare several side by side at the same time.

### "A rather easy to use ATS"

November 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

The job created in workable creates a hyperlink that u can add to other ad posting platform and your applicants will be all consolidated in one place. You every stage in the pipeline has its own disqualified pool. This will allow future you or your team who revisits have a better understanding of what happened before.

Cons

The “schedule link” doesn’t allow us to enable a “buffer” time before meetings. There may be instances where ur call with candidates are back to back.

### "intuitive and integrates well with almost anything"

June 29, 2023

4.0

Pros

I have been using Workable since its very early days in the market and it has never failed me. It is intuitive, customisable and enables recruitment from 2 people a year to 20000+ people a year...

Cons

It is gradually becoming more expensive. Also the reporting features could be more flexible.

### "Workable Review"

December 30, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with Workable has been great. It's easy to use and has a lot of amazing functions to help with our recruiting process.

Pros

I love how easy it is to track everything under a candidate's profile and to move candidates along under a job requisition. It's a great central location for all candidate notes, feedback, etc.

Cons

I'm not sure I have any real complaints. My only complaint would be that (at least for us) we haven't fully been able to integrate it with Outlook.

### "Workable"

January 28, 2015

4.0

Our organization is a little under 200 staff with approximately 30 hiring supervisors. Using an applicant tracking system has allowed us to streamline our hiring process and cut down on paper. By utilizing a web-based system, our supervisors have the ability to stay on top of their applicants whether in the office, at home, or on their phone. The system is fairly intuitive and our supervisors have been able to easily maneuver their way through the candidates.

Pros

Customer service is awesome. Whether we call or email, we get prompt replies including screen shots for a visual aid. We really like how it allows us to customize the application, especially the questions.

Cons

There is no ability to "rate" applicants which is something we've had in a prior applicant tracking system. Other than that, we've been very pleased with the system and its functionality.

### "Nice Applicant Tracking System"

November 1, 2018

4.0

Easy to use; easy to maintain. Much better than the folders and Excel spreadsheets we were using before.

Pros

Really like being able to manage all or our applicants electronically. It is nice to be able to go back to history to see if there are any potential hires we can reach out to even if they applied several months ago. Also like the customization of the hiring stages.

Cons

This system is suppose to integrate with Zenefits (our employee management system) but if you turn on the integration feature the employee gets set up immediately in Zenefits with incorrect hiring dates. It also will duplicate an employee as we send out the offer letters through Zenefits since the onboarding happens through that system. Should be a way to move over all the employee details better.

### "Great collaboration "

January 25, 2015

4.0

Workable met our needs, as a fast growing company with a few open reqs at a time that needed to be filled fast. Getting a req up was fairly straightforward, and keeping to the format of your job requisitions is as simple of copying and modifying your last one. While much of our talent pipeline comes from referrals, the multiposting feature to also post to LinkedIn and other jobs sites was helpful. As we moved through our pipeline, moving them to the next stage came with a pre-set status and templated emails...both can be tweaked. Once filled, you can close the req without losing that historical record, either for anecdotes or to reuse again.

Pros

\- Affordable to start out - Ability to postpone your account - Ease of use along the hiring process

Cons

\- Deviating from a linear hiring path can be confusing to track - Sorting candidates in the rejection pool that have or haven't been emailed

### "The worlds best ATS (and they didnt even pay me to say that) "

January 15, 2015

5.0

As a recruiter you use your ATS all day long, it is sat open on your desktop all the time and lets be honest most of the time it is the weakest link in a complex suite of tools a recruiter has to use every day. Workable isnt like that, I have used it everyday for the last year and I love it. Every time I open up my dashboard It makes me happy. It's UI is simple and easy to use. It is easy to load candidates, manage multiple jobs, multiple companies, external agencies, job boards etc.. Training hiring managers to use the system is amazing and everytime a new one gets used to it, they start telling their friends how cool it is! Of course it's not perfect but their excellent customer service and the way the listen to users feedback and are constantly improving the product is superb. Without a doubt I would recommend it to anybody who wants to make their life easier when recruiting.. gone are the days of clunky databases. GET WORKABLE!

### "Everything you need in one place"

October 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Excellent product all-round, I have used several ATS in my life, but never has one been so user-friendly and functional as Workable. I don't need to instruct new users when I add them, it's so simple.

Cons

There is a big focus on them releasing new features which is great, but these are big-win features that will attract more customers, also great, but it's not very often that there are features that improve the existing product and benefit existing clients.

### "Worth the Investment"

May 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

The easiest HR product to set up and use. It feels like a stronger more robust indeed- very easy to post jobs and search for candidates. Great database set up too!

Cons

Figuring out the system is a little tricky - a little bigger learning curve than anticipated. It can take some time to learn all of the features but it is worth the investment.

### "Great Tool -- Some Room for Improvement"

December 5, 2016

5.0

Workable is a great tool for tracking and building out recruitment funnels. There are some irregularities, such as issues where LinkedIn profile duplicates are not recognized when uploading a candidate via a link. With a large team, this adds an extra step to every upload by needing to double-check the system for a candidate prior to making an upload. Room for Improvement: Build out the Chrome extension to immediately recognize duplicates straight from the browser.

Pros

\* Able to build out recruiting funnels/hiring process. \* Wide variety of analytics to track recruiting KPIs. \* Candidates can easily be tracked throughout the process. \* Quickly pull up social media information.

Cons

\* Gmail conversations do not always sync, which leaves you needing to use Workable. \* Duplicates are not recognized by the system. \* Social media information is not always accurate.

### "Best Recruiting Solution"

June 23, 2019

Great tool that makes posting jobs and getting candidates very easy. Cost effective especially compared to their competitors.

Pros

Workable is both effective and affordable. It helped me find lots of candidates to review faster than any other job board system I’ve ever used.

Cons

The email created was initially confusing. Distinguishing between the system emails and my communication with potential candidates was a challenge but makes sense after using the software for a bit.

### "It's definitely workable!"

January 24, 2015

5.0

Workable is great. It provides a clear and simple space to interview, accept, and hire candidates. I have been using it for the first time for my job as a Program Director for Learning Enterprises, and so far I have not run in to any major difficulties. It's great to have all my applicants' information on one concise site.

Pros

\-intuitive design -easy to organize information -kindness of people who run it -"comments" feature- allows my colleagues and me to keep track of our thoughts on the potential applicants all on one site

Cons

\-I accidentally moved a candidate from the "offer" to "hired" bucket before she was hired, and I do not know how to move her back. I just e-mailed workable to ask how to reverse it because as of now there is no clear way to move her back.

January 29, 2015

I have only been using Workable for about 3 months, but am impressed with its' features. I've taught some of our supervisors how to utilize it and they all find it be very user friendly. I really like the ability to be able to clone jobs and copy or move resumes to other positions.

Pros

Ability to clone positions, move or copy resumes to other positions. Ability to customize application questions. Ability to customize hiring teams for each position. Like being able to write notes for each candidate only seen by hiring team.

Cons

Search candidate by all jobs only, not by individual position. Would like to customize print, so all e-mails are excluded. Would like to be able to rearrange order of questions more easily.

### "Workable "

December 5, 2017

5.0

Workable is an amazing product and it is ideal for recruiting in a professional work environment. I would highly recommend.

Pros

The program is easy to understand and use. The program offers flexibility in designing communication templates and the application. I appreciate the ability to directly link to my calendar.

Cons

Though I believe Customer Service has done a very nice job of helping me learn the system, it can be frustrating when I am looking for an answer quickly. Communication starts with an email or chat session which is not often returned until the next day.
