### "Great instrument for candidate management"

July 19, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like the parsing algorhytm of Workable: just enter the name and candidate's email and social profile's information will be parced from the net. Easy upload of CVs, great candidate management, erase of duplicated entries and check of CVs for duplicates, great system for team work, notices, shortlisting etc.

Cons

Too many functions and you need time to discover and use all of them. Not very clear pricing structure for packages and paid functions.

### "Awesome product!"

January 11, 2016

5.0

Workable is a great way to manage all aspects of the hiring process. From screening applicants through to sending an offer (and all the communication in between). It will save time on the administrating the hiring process and make sure no good candidates slip through the cracks.

Pros

Love the chrome extension.

### " absolutely teh worst experience I have ever had with an ads agency. "

November 16, 2017

1.0

Loss of money. daily as my ads do not post.

Pros

There really is nothing to like about this software as the company lies like hell about getting your postings live.

Cons

Everything. Tech support is a joke. They are incompetent when it comes to resolution of problems. Believe me I have been down for over a month with them and I have tried everything to resolve the issues.

### "Amazing software. Great value. Easy to use and makes our lives easier."

May 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's very easy to use and it guides you through the process easily and quickly. If you already have your job descriptions written, it's very simple to create your account and get up and running. I love that it pushes jobs to indeed for FREE!

Cons

I honestly have nothing negative to say. That's how happy I am with workable. Don't think I can say that about many other software programs I use.

### "Workable for HR"

January 30, 2019

5.0

I used Workable for about a year and it was easy to learn and use. The only difficulty we experienced at work is that we required for applicants to upload a video, and a lot of people complained they never could. Not exactly sure why, but when we changed software, the problems ended in that aspect.

Pros

Great way to keep your pipeline up to date and nice integrations. Intuitive, user friendly.

Cons

Some compatibilities like for uploading videos from applicants.

### " And improved our hiring velocity tremendously! "

March 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software completely changed the way we hire in a good way! Our hiring velocity has double at least.

Cons

The software is a little on the expensive side when looking at competitors, but it works so flawlessly we don’t mind.

### "It is exactly a Human Resources choice"

April 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

I had my HR team use this software and everyone told me that starting from maintaining the resume data till the candidate is onboarded the product employs all streamlined methods to ensure the data is stored correctly without any inaccuracy.

Cons

I understand it is little time talking for anyone to understand the tool first because it looks like it is complex at a first glance., but training can reduce this shortcoming.

### "It Works!"

January 30, 2015

4.0

Workable, how do I love thee? It's impossible to list all the ways!! If your looking for a main applicant tracking system or a supplement to the one you have, Workable is well worth it. My rating would actually be a strong 4.5 stars.

Pros

Pricing is great, usability is fantastic, job board response is fabulous, but hands down the customer service is amazing! The real live person who cares and is responsive who handles your account? Priceless! (Yuka is the best!)

Cons

Not allowing publishing direct contact info without a work-around. I want to decide which information I share.

### "Quality software, lesser applicants"

November 12, 2019

4.0

Workable makes getting names in the door very easy, just need to work on quality.

Pros

I love how it organizes applicants. There can be plenty of people to lose track of, but Workable makes sure that from start to finish, they are easy to keep a tab on.

Cons

The quality of applicant was very low since they were coming from a bunch of free job boards. There has to be a better way to filter out people who are not qualified.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad your recruitment process has been more organized with Workable. Free job boards are only one way to find candidates with Workable, we also partner with many premium job boards, have built-in sourcing and an advanced referral system. Please reach out to your Account Manager who can help you understand the offering more completely.

### "Streamlining Recruitment"

March 16, 2015

4.0

I have used Workable at several different companies and love the way it is simple yet functional enough for line managers to be able to use the system without much training; but still give me the oversight I need in HR.

Pros

Easy to learn (and good looking) Great integration with automatic job posting Simple to manage recruitment for several jobs at the same time Frequent updates and new functionality added

Cons

Would love for the software to increase the number of job boards that it can post to automatically especially websites that are used for internships and startup companies.

### "Super User Friendly ATS"

October 10, 2018

4.0

Overall experience is very good, easy to work with, time saving, very good customer support whenever needed, extra tips provided from the company even through their blog or their webinars. I'm happy to work with it

Pros

It's very easy to work with and to collaborate with hiring managers and other involved parties. Their new mobile app is really good, saves time and effort

Cons

The reporting options and the search options are relatively weak. Also their people

### "Great tool for recruiting and organizing candidates!"

January 28, 2015

4.0

Workable is a great tool, and a must have for any company looking to streamline their candidate tracking process and eliminate application emails from their inbox. The Workable plug-in for Chrome makes sourcing candidates quick and simple. Ability to allow external recruiters to source candidates for positions helps keep all candidates in one place for quick reference. Mass-messaging function saves time when communicating with candidates. All in all, Workable is an amazing way to get your company organized and on top of your recruitment process. Would definitely recommend!

Pros

Workable has changed the way our company internally structured our recruitment process, and we are so happy we started using it. Workable is user-friendly, easy to implement, and best of all, keeps us organized.

Cons

A couple of improvements would bump my rating up to five stars...the biggest one would be the ability to filter jobs on the dashboard by company location. We have several studios, and we all use one account, so the dashboard is very cluttered.

### "Tremendous Product"

January 30, 2015

5.0

Having used dozens of job posting services throughout my recruiting career, I've frequently been unsatisfied with not only the volume of applicants, but the quality as well. As a shot in the dark, I wanted to give Workable a look, as they had an impressive internal candidate management system that I could use along side my ATS. Thus far, I'm very impressed with Workable. Our organization is not only receiving applicants at a much higher rate than several of their competing job posting services, but we are also getting high caliber resumes. Very impressed.

Pros

High volume response rate. Great internal candidate management system.

### "Makes hiring a lot more fun & organized"

January 21, 2015

5.0

Workable made my life a lot easier when it comes to hiring. The process is usually disorganized and not fun. With Workable, I can keep track of where we're at and synch to my marketing website. I highly recommend this to all business owners!!!

Pros

\- Synchs to website career page - Very user friendly - Fun to use - Works well for teams

Cons

\- Sometimes when you forward emails with resumés and cover letters, the software does not know which one to store in the Workable site... - Pricing model means one has to predict hiring needs if one is to pick a 1-year plan

### "Not suitable for US employers - a UK based company"

July 3, 2017

1.0

Good product but bad policies and customer support.

Pros

Good system if you are in Eurpore or outside of US and you have time to deal with their helpless customer support.

Cons

\- They bill US companies from their UK system for which your bank will charge international fees. They do not make this clear at any point when you pay. You might be able to see these charges on your statement from the bank though. - Not a user-friendly system. System does not - Confusing plans & subscription: They will enroll you for the trial with 10 slots for ads but upon expiration you have the option to subscribe to pay-as-you-go plan. If you do subscribe, the system does not clarify that you cannot use job slots with this subscription. Once you buy subscription for a job you cannot switch it to the other jobs which is totally different from what you get during trial period. If you now try to switch archiving the job to switch, they will not let you un-archive the job which you have already fully paid. You will be dinged for that money which you paid and guess what their fees are non-refundable. By US standards this company would be almost illegal to not provide services after getting paid. Their customer support will not un-archive the job either but they will direct you to pay for the job again!

### "Has come a long way!"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

We used Workable a while back and moved away to a different software. We’re now back to it as it’s made a ton of UI improvements. It’s intuitive, easy to use and offers a plan/price for all budgets.

Cons

It could still make some improvements on the scheduling tool. Other than that, it’s a pretty good ATS.

### "Easy to use but not as robust as other systems"

April 13, 2017

2.0

\- My experience is positive but we are limited in our capabilities. We are looking for an overall recruiting tool that tackles the candidate experience and allows us to maximize on our pool. Workable is good for a basic recruitment tool but may not be the best if you are a growing company with over 100 employees and need something more robust.

Pros

\- Good design and easy to use

Cons

\- You have to buy jobs slots in bundles instead of being able to post unlimited roles - If you have a candidate that you want to upload that does not fit a role and you want to put them into a project of others like them, there isn't an option for that - The reporting is very basic - There isn't really anything there to survey or measure candidate experience - Cannot post for different company divisions under the same bundle - if you have different brands and need to purchase two accounts, cannot link the pool on the back-end to quickly check for duplicates

### "Perfect recruiting tool for multiple Hiring Managers!"

January 23, 2015

5.0

I absolutely love Workable and I recommend it to all of my HR contacts. It's extremely easy to create a job posting and blast it out to the free sites. I am able to designate a Hiring Manager, invite them to Workable, and onboard to the process effortlessly. Because it's intuitive. Workable also automatically updates our Careers page on our website as soon as we update the listing in Workable. If you are recruiting, you need Workable.

Pros

Intuitive, easy Great for teams with multiple Hiring Managers and other key decision-makers Cuts recruiting time in half (or more!)

### "Good potential but overpriced"

May 2, 2016

3.0

We have tried Workable during the free trial and then for an other free trial that the customer service offered to us in order to complete our trial. Their customer service is effective and fast to answer. The overall app is quite interesting, user friendly, offering good features. However, I have found other apps with the same quality (in my point of view) and with a much more descent pricing. Especially for a small and growing company like mine. To bet on the success of one's client could have been more fair. Too bad

Pros

Very user friendly. You can feel that they developed their solution knowing their business. The features are great and answer majority of the issue a company like mine could encounter.

Cons

It would be perfect if a very light customer management was possible.

### "Really good Recruitment Software"

September 4, 2018

5.0

I would strongly recommend it is easy to share infromation about the progress with Managers and the Dashboard gives a really quick and useful overview of what is it going on.

Pros

It is exactly what you need for recruitment! I have tried many of them and this is the one I find more useful. Really easy to set up and integrate with Indeed Assessments, also good analytics feature where you can see which pages have been more effective, etc.

Cons

The cherry on the top would be for this to integrate with our other HR programs, such as Gusto and Zenefits.

### "A great tool for a company recruiter or hiring manager "

January 16, 2018

It would be cool to have a PPC and fixed price option for each job posting site.

Pros

Allows a user to manage applicants from initial resume submission to hire The ability to manage and purchase services from multiple recruiting sites

Cons

I dont like the restrictions in job posting design. We also wish we images would translate to career sites, but that's a minor point.

### "Candidate Dashboard is amazing! And it's people search feature is time and cost-saving"

April 17, 2019

5.0

Overall it was great. Very powerful and user-friendly system. I would highly recommend this to anyone who's running a small or mid-sized recruiting business.

Pros

People search feature - this allows us to search for passive candidates with accounts/profiles on soc media platforms as LinkedIn and Facebook within the system. Currently, we are also using LinkedIn Recruiter for searching candidates and it's an additional cost on top of the fees we pay for our existing ATS.

Cons

Maybe the fee structure and the number of job ads we can run or publish at a time.
