### "Excellent ATS, excellent team! Great for small businesses. "

March 19, 2015

5.0

Overall, Workable is a great applicant tracking system (ATS). When my team was using a different ATS, every hiring manager began the meeting by telling me how much they hated that ATS. Once we switched to Workable, everything just worked the way it was supposed to. The hiring managers enjoyed using it too. Some of my favorite parts of it are: - it is very easy to set up - the UX is very clean and easy to use - the customer service is excellent - I always got speedy responses to any questions I asked! - the integrations with free/paid job boards is great, they offer a lot of options - they're constantly making improvements and adding new features - the 15 day trial is a great way to play around with it and see how easy it is to set up - the Chrome extension that allows you to import profiles into Workable Some small but standard features that I think it's missing are: - the ability to delay emails (i.e. if you're rejecting a candidate, have the email send in 1 or 2 days instead of immediately) - the ability to customize job pipelines for each role (you can customize it for the entire company, though!) We are switching to another ATS because we want more out of our ATS (offer letter integration, interview feedback, etc). However, Workable is a great tool! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start using an ATS to organize their hiring, or anyone who is unhappy with their ATS and wants something basic but very solid. The ability to pay monthly without a contract is also appealing - you can try it out and then switch if you don't like it.

July 11, 2017

4.0

Work definitely recommend for those wanting to streamline recruitment and build a talent pipeline without an expensive outlay.

Pros

Easy move through, simple to track notes and to share with hiring managers, easy tagging, not complicated, intuitive easy to manage the candidate experience.

Cons

Lack some of the features of some larger more expensive packages but is a minor for under 100 staff still a great product

### "Pretty Good ATS for Hiring"

April 1, 2019

4.0

Workable has been a great software for our team to conduct all of our candidate sourcing needs. Without it, filtering candidates and their resumes/messages to our HR department would be a lot more difficult.

Pros

Workable allows our team to collect candidate resumes without having to use a manual process or filter them via email. You can filter by job opening, too, which is really helpful especially when our team is usually hiring for more than one position at a time.

Cons

Responding to candidate emails/messages was not as intuitive as it could have been. I found myself clicking around and clicking each candidate profile too many times. That could have been my fault not mastering the software, but it was too time-consuming nonetheless.

### "Collaborative recruiting made easy"

June 13, 2018

4.0

Collaborative hiring tool that can really help receive, track and enhance the process speed with candidates applications. Workable can adapt to different selection process and receive multiple inputs from each part.

Pros

Workable allows the possibility of having a custom selection process (including having visibility of your selection process flow) with easy collaboration from more people. You can set up different inputs from different people in the whole process, and also receive application and track them in the same platform.

Cons

If you want a deeper level of personalisation you'll need to resort to their API (for instance, to fully customize the website to receive application).

### "Workable for a Law Firm"

February 10, 2023

5.0

Overall Workable has helped us in getting quality candidates and tracking each step of the interview process.

Pros

It’s easy to use and easy to track. Saves us a lot of time while we’re looking for candidates. Also the fact we can put in things we need in order to qualify or disqualify candidates automatically. This saves us time.

Cons

It’s hard to pick something I don’t like, as I’ve had a good experience.

### "Review from a non HR person"

October 10, 2018

5.0

our company uses the software because we do have a lot of hires and it saves terrific time for communication and reviewing candidates/ profiles.

Pros

I like the "all in one place" feeling and comments section. This was a new product to me and I found it usable, easy to learn and intuitive enough.

Cons

What I didn't like is delays in email notifications to my email when a new candidate or comments arrive. Somehow after I receive an email that a new candidate has applied, I go to the system and find out that this happened 6-8-12 hours before...

5.0

Overall very good application for job posting and applicant tracking.

Pros

1\. Easy to use and manage and search applicants 2. Jobs get posted to free job sites automatically.

No as such but need improvement in customization and make it flexible.

Overall it's a good solution, can expect better features in the future updates

Pros

\- easy to make hiring funnels - convenient to communicate with candidates directly - easy to track candidates throughout the process

### "Review"

November 1, 2018

4.0

Overall good experience, if workable allows the employers to easily see the candidates application history without having to physically check each posting they applied to it would make the user experience much better.

Pros

I like how multiple hiring managers can access simultaneously, leave comments, and keep track of candidates.

Cons

I do not like how it is job based not profile/candidate based - for example, if the same person applies to 5 jobs we will not be able to easily see the comments/status from their other applications unless we physically check each position they have applied to. This makes it a very lengthy process. i would say this is the biggest draw back we are currently facing with workable.

### "Great hiring platform"

February 4, 2019

5.0

Overall, great platform, i am very happy with them and we will continue to use workable for all our hiring needs.

Pros

I love that you can stage your applicants as you work through the hiring process and it keeps track for you. It makes it so much easier to track who i have called and who i have interviewed. Especially when you are screening hundreds of people. I used to get people mixed up or not remember what i interviewed and which one i called. I am so glad i can easily track and see that in Workable. I also love that i can post several jobs and track each job and it will post to several job boards all over. Maximizing my reach for finding the perfect candidate.

Cons

Sometimes the email option is slow to refresh, it doesn't always let me know right away when someone sends an email back. It can take a few hours to show up when someone says they have emailed back.

### "Workable - Great for handling applications, less great for proactive Recruiting"

July 21, 2017

3.0

Pros

customizable application steps, posts to indeed, multiple users allowed without additional cost, easily syncs with gmail for retrieving email replies and tagging them to the candidate, retrieves social media profiles, able to customize questions on the front end

Cons

can only access candidates in active jobs, cannot set to-dos for follow up with candidates (have a few workarounds, but they aren't great - tags and snoozing a candidate). Hard to be proactive without time sensitive tasks.

### "I Love Workable!"

February 10, 2015

4.0

As the HR leader for several small businesses and as an HR consultant, I have used and recommend the Workable ATS whole heartedly!

Pros

Easy to integrate with other recruiting portals/boards automatically Ease of use Affordability Can brand different companies or departments and keep track with one login Collaboration tools with your hiring team Tracks EEOC compliance Support team is very friendly and helpful

Cons

The only downside I see is when you close a particular job posting, you can download various spreadsheets which save your data, but not the actual applications or resumes. A mass import feature would be nice.

### "Great tool, room for improvement"

January 21, 2015

4.0

I love to work with Workable. The biggest deal for us is that finally every piece of information (conversation, interview notes, CV, emails) are in the same place. No more emails with everyone in CC, no more accidental email to candidates. Before every interview I just open Workable and there I have everything. The screening questions and mass rejection tools are great too of the number of applicants is very high. I miss some features like a more sophisticated role management or inserting my oen job title in the email signatures.

Pros

\- easy to use - great improvement over email - integration with other tools (Linkedin, Indeed)

Cons

\- lack of sophisticated role management - some convenience features missing

I love workable, I use it for 3 of the companies I am managing recruitment for at the moment, I love its simplicity and integration with all the key tools I use, their customer support is world class. The ability to easily track candidates and give visibility to the hiring managers works really well, we can build our own jobs page and integrate to our sites. Overall a great product!!

Pros

Integration with key sourcing sites Simplicity Cost ease of use Easy to set up Can integrate agencies quickly Customisability

Cons

Number of steps in hiring process could be made more flexible If using for multiple roles, then you have the same process for each role. No referral program!

### "Amazing hiring tool."

July 31, 2019

5.0

Overall Workable has been a huge time saver. It is really amazing to only need to post one job description and have it posted to multiple job sites simultaneously.

Pros

I like the customization features of Workable. We were able to integrate applicant testing to help us in our screening process.

Cons

Sometimes its hard to find specific sub-settings. The help options should be a little more clear.

### "Excellent software makes the hiring process a breeze!"

October 26, 2016

5.0

This is my first experience with Workable and it has performed beyond my expectations! We are a rapidly growing tech company and as such have increased our hiring needs. We are trying to streamline our hiring process and increase efficiency for those involved. With no training and just a brief overview from my HR dept I was able to quickly and easily access my job posting, review applications and weed out the next level applicants. Whether passing to the next step (which is customizable by the way) or declining the applicant it is very simple to organize the hiring process. The mass email feature is also extremely helpful for contacting applicants about the next steps, or form "thank you" letter. This is a really intuitive system, they've done a great job!

Pros

Very easy to navigate, I like the quick view of applicants and stages and I like that I can click any one of them to see who’s in that stage. Very intuitive, little to no training needed

Cons

Haven't found any cons at all

### "All your hiring needs in one place"

May 9, 2018

5.0

Big fan. These folks got their product right. Highly recommend, especially for small teams with limited time to devote to the recruiting process. Totally streamlines everything!

Pros

I've been involved in hiring for over a decade and have never found as great a tool as Workable! You can do just about everything through its interface: search, view resumes and screening questions, outreach, set appointments that sync with my calendar, compare candidates, share candidates, rate and comment on candidates (great for teams), easily follow candidates through their path to hiring, buy advertising with all the major job portals. This is everything I need to make hiring a snap!

Cons

I really only have 2 comments regarding ways to improve: 1) When printing resumes, allow them to maintain their original formatting submitted by the candidate 2) Integrate a feature like Assistant.to for scheduling so that I can give candidates several different time slots to choose from that automatically sync to my calendar
