### "Good product, lovely team"

January 16, 2015

4.0

I use Workable for the two 'startup' initiatives for Backbase in Atlanta/NYC and London. Because my approach is 90% sourcing I needed a lean program that empowered me to hunt from Linkedin, Github, Twitter, Angelist and so on. Workable does this very well. Next to that the CRM behind it works pretty good and intuitive.

Pros

\- Chrome sourcing extension - Easy to use - Good support - Google Apps integration - Free jobsite posting + linkedin integration - Very good price <-> quality ratio - looks good - frequent product updates

Cons

\-no referral possibilities -you need to create an account for every person vs everybody on the google apps domain = user -sometimes buggy -no snooze button or reminder buttons to snooze passive candidates -only 10 (uniformal) stages in workflow

### "HH perspective"

September 29, 2020

3.0

It was so-so

Pros

I like that it pulled from different sites and linked them to one place

Cons

It would give me applicants that were not looking for the type of work i was posting about.

### "Workable... Works! "

September 1, 2016

3.5

Pros

Easy to set up and start posting jobs. The interface is easy to understand and you don't need to waste anytime with user guides or training for that matter. Their support team is very accessible and I rarely "can't" get a hold of them. The price is also a reasonably easy sell to decision makers.

Cons

It leaves something to be desired. I have used Jazz in the past and Jazz offers way more candidate focused ./ user focused features that Workable just hasn't done. When you do ask the Support staff they usually don't even had the feature ideas on a product roadmap which is frustrating because with a software purchase you hope they are always going to improve it. It's a low cost option and that becomes obvious when you start using the software.

### "Very expensive for what it offers"

February 2, 2017

3.0

Nice, simple and fresh to use. Nothing particularly fancy about its functionality, it will just save you time putting things on an excel sheet. After two price hikes, the price is now unaffordable.

Pros

Simplicity.

Cons

Very expensive. When it started was very cheap it was a great deal. Then it became very expensive For the functionality, it offers this price is beyond ridiculous. Particularly if you have multiple jobs you will be paying extraordinary amounts of money for a glorified applicant tracking system which you could also do manually on an excel sheet.

### "Fast, easy, reliable, feature packed"

December 25, 2014

5.0

It's got everything you need to manage the hiring process for new recruits. If it had HR modules for after onboarding it would be a one stop shop for all our HR needs.

Pros

It's got everything you need to manage the hiring process for new recruits, in a great UI.

Cons

Does not offer after onboarding modules (org charts, vacation/leave management, workflows, etc)

### "Everyone hiring needs applicant tracking"

March 4, 2020

5.0

Much better than tracking applicants manually. Good software with good set of features.

Pros

Good set of features for applicant tracking. Multiple permission levels and users to keep and track internal plus external communication

Cons

Formatting of embedded attachments didn't always display properly. Overall, works well. If you don't keep grooming your list of applications, it can get overwhelming

### "Great app. "

February 7, 2015

5.0

Great app. Very intuitive and gives all of the important people in my company a view of current talent pipe. It's helping us to get a real grip on managing our recruitment process and is also helping to get more people into the funnel in the first place.

Pros

Intuitive, easy to use and integration to LinkedIn is awesome.

Cons

Not many cons that I can think of so far.

February 4, 2015

5.0

I was recommended to sign up for Workable as an ATS by lots of Talent Hackers at meet up groups! Since signing up (not including all the help from the lovely Rob Long), I've been delighted how user friendly Workable is to use, is seamless in design and makes life a whole lot easier!

Pros

User friendly Great design Great integration with other tools

Cons

None so far!

Pros

Great user interface. Easy to post the jobs and search for recruitments. Customized communication templates.

### "Job board section is top notch though pricey for small companies."

December 18, 2018

4.0

Pros

Pretty simple to use. A lot of the features built in are easy to understand and self explanatory. Job boards are as good as I've seen.

Cons

I used this when I worked for a very small company. This product is extremely pricey for the smaller companies in my opinion. That's comparing with several others in the same vertical.

### "Workable has been a huge time-saver for recruiting."

July 6, 2018

4.0

Easy recruiting tracking. Integrates well with our company email to track all candidate communications. Customized Interview Guides and notes.

Pros

Very easy to create a job post, customize the application and create unique screening questions that are unique to our company and the job itself.

Cons

Wish there was better overall pipeline reporting at the lower tier membership level. We are a small team, with only a handful of job posts each year and can't justify the enterprise level package with robust reporting.

### "Great platform, even for a recruiter! :)"

March 5, 2015

5.0

As a Recruiter, naturally I was very cautious when I first used Workable. I was worried it could lead to a lack of control in terms of client and candidate and could delay feedback for interviews & tests. I was incredibly surprised at the ease of use, clean UI and functionality of the platform. Great product and I will be definitely be using it again!

### "Great product that helps recruiting"

April 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy team collaboration, clear view of candidates and the process of the interviews. Integration with sites that publish ads is very useful.

Cons

Many times the information that is automatically retrieved for each candidate is not accurate and complicates the view of the candidate.

### "Outside agency "

November 1, 2018

3.0

Good baseline technology. Probably ready for an outside IT team to take it to the next level. Some MIT or Carnegie Mellon guys.

Pros

Simple to upload resume. That’s about it.

Cons

After uploading resume no info autopopulates. Many. Many. Errors. If there is a manual date entry mistake on the candidate email or cell number, fixing it is a mission.

### "Trial Package"

November 24, 2018

3.0

Pros

1\. The website is pretty neat and simple to navigate. They have free resume look up at least 5 views for the trial package.

Cons

1\. Although they offer a trial package for job posting, there is a lot of verification process you have to go through in order for your jobs to gwt posted. 2. I understand that this is a trial package, but it should not be so hard to do a job posting just because you are unable to go through 3 step verification they have.

### "Great product"

January 23, 2015

5.0

We're a growing start-up who started hiring at full speed roughly a year ago. Before committing to an ATS system, we did quite a bit of research but ultimately landed on Workable because of its many features, intuitive user system, and organization. We've been extremely satisfied -- the software organizes candidates in an easy-to-access way, which is fantastic when hiring across a variety of roles. Additionally, the Workable team is very accessible -- the few times we've had questions, they've responded promptly and completely. It's been exciting to see new features added over the course of the year (e.g. gmail integration). Looking forward to continuing to use Workable!

Pros

Intuitive organization of candidates, easy to use, good way to organize hiring managers internally, good customer support

### "Workable Helped Us Hit The Ground Running!!"

October 6, 2016

5.0

I started with my current company at the beginning of 2016 as a Corporate Recruiter. We never had recruiters before, so there was not ATS. We did a trial with Workable and really like how great it looked and its ease of use. We were able to use it immediately and the support provided was great. It can be customized to the size of openings the company has and the job postings look great. I would recommend this to anyone looking so a simple and easy to use ATS.

Pros

Workable puts our postings on multiple website with one click. It is easy to move candidates to different stages in the hiring process. Interviews can be coordinated and communicated easily in Workable.

Cons

Just wish there was a better way to categorize candidate and candidate look up.

### "Workable Review"

February 7, 2020

4.0

Easy to use and needs less training to get familiarized with.

Pros

Easy to use and manage multiple candidates for multiple positions. The help feature is so well described and answer to any question is available there.

Cons

Mobile browsing is difficult and it would be better if the integration is much better with outlook and other mail agents.

April 1, 2015

5.0

I found the software to be very intuitive. It's laid out brilliantly. Clearly a lot of work has gone into making Workable easy to use and that work has really paid off. I can't recommend it highly enough. We are a small company and recruiting had previously been a serious drain on time. Workable solved our problems beautifully.

really self-explanatory and easy to use. Workable has streamlined our hiring process and made a painful task a lot better!

Pros

\- good UI - easy to use - good features

Cons

\- once I've disqualified a candidate I'd like them to disappear from my view without having to set that as a parameter

September 4, 2013

4.5

We recently switched to Workable from another Applicant Tracking System, and the experience has been refreshing. It's very simple to use and get things done without getting confused or spending endless time in configuration. We were up and running in minutes, and getting internal adoption was easy. I would like to stress the ease of adoption: our line managers are delighted to use Workable's interface. Without the need to chase and pressure people to add their interview feedback and evaluations, our job has become much easier. The candidate experience is also much improved, both visually and functionally. There are few features that we would like to see added, such as an employee referral program and more reports, but these are not critical for our work at the moment. Workable has already solved the biggest problem we had: to establish an easy to use internal platform for all our hiring information and collaboration. The tool's simplicity helps a lot, so the lack of a few marginal features here and there is overshadowed by the ease of use on what matters most.

I work at a growing startup and have been using Workable for about a year now for our hiring needs. The interface is friendly and easy to use, and the product organizes candidates and work-flow streams in an efficient and intelligent way. Would highly recommend to Hiring Managers looking for an ATS to fill their needs!
