### "Easy Product to Use"

July 14, 2017

4.0

I have and would still recommend this product.

Pros

Workable is a great tool for companies just starting to open roles to recruit with. It's a customizable solution, with an ease of use, and an engaging UI that both beginners and experts can appreciate. The price point is also very reasonable.

Cons

The product is pretty basic. Newer ATS systems are popping up with ways to enhance sourcing where as Workable didn't have all the bells and whistles that other ATS systems are incorporating.

### "Overly Impressed "

February 3, 2015

5.0

Workable is like a one stop shop for hiring needs. I was first bewildered when trying to hire a Comptroller for our company, I then stumbled upon Workable where I could create ONE platform and it then did all the work for my by sending out our job description to several hiring platforms (Linkedin, Monster, Indeed) and some I had not even heard of. It didn't stop there, when applicants sent me their resumes I had the option to set up phone interviews, person to person interviews and even reject resumes that did not fit the description. As the Hiring Manager at my company, I will definitely be suggesting Workable to our sister companies for their hiring needs. Workable is like a non-pushy recruiter, it finds you the quality of employee you need without the bank breaking price.

### "Save your money and time by getting a different system"

September 13, 2017

2.0

Work on your customer service, you will make more $$$ in the long run if you retain clients.

Pros

\- Easy to set up and use, but lacks features for its price range - Workable started out well, but there are many hidden hiccups and charges. Not worth the effort for something this expensive.

Cons

\- Lack of Customer Support, they will force you to pay extra to use something you have already paid for - Lack flexibility, you are forced to pay upfront. If you choose to 'pay as you go plan,' you will miss out on many functionalities and will have to pay more - Predatory business model, they are here to make $$$, not to retain their users

### "Easy and Simple"

August 12, 2021

5.0

Overall, really easy to use. It's flexible and gives many options for going about interviewing and evaluating. Also like that if you are apart of a certain round in the interview process for group interviews, you can make it so you can't see each others feedback until after you've posted your evaluation. Really great for removing pressure or influence from others.

Pros

We use the software for candidate sourcing and evaluation. It's an easy tool for managing candidates and having, all parties in the interview process input their evaluation.

Cons

Just a bit of a learning curve to know where to go but overall it's pretty straight forward.

### "EXACTLY What We Needed!"

July 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

\- Great platform that has a robust feature set & integration options (i.e. LinkdIn) so that you can attract the right talent for your growing small business // startup

Cons

\- You still have to go through the hiring process of creating the right listing, description, vetting candidates, etc., So while this is a great tool, you must still understand who you are looking for, why you are looking for them etc., in order to attract the right talent.

### "Quick Starter ATS"

November 1, 2018

4.0

If the filtering function is improved, I would say workable would be one of the most recommended ATS to use!

Pros

The ease of set-up and intuitive to use. Its interface is user friendly and the ease of navigation is wonderful.

Cons

The search function can be improved. Filtering through thousands of our applicants is cumbersome, would really help us if search filters are improved for existing profiles in our system (candiadtes who have already registered their profiles).

### "Workable Review as Hiring Manager"

November 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

I really like the flow of an application as it is being reviewed - shortlisting candidates and moving them along this flow is very very helpful when reviewing all these applications!

Cons

I don't like a couple of things around reviewing the application - there's a bug in the Applied webpage where if you are reviewing an application, it is impossible to scroll through the list of applicants...this is inconvenient. Additionally, I would like the opportunity to sort by date applied because I've noticed that candidates who first applied to a role are way at the bottom of the list and are more likely to be skipped over...

We are a startup and have been using Workable in the past months, with great results. What I like the most about i,t is its ability to organize and present all information in one place, be it the job positions, the candidates, your publishing options, etc. Just the fact alone that I no longer have to go through countless CVs, compare them in memory or paper and decide which candidate gets to the next step, based on his/her qualifications, makes Workable an irreplaceable part of our hiring process. Additional perks, such as automatic filtering of candidates based on certain keywords, automatic publishing to several job boards, or collaborative recruiting, turns the once tedious work of finding the right person for your team into I - daresay - a fun experience. I've rated it 4/5 on functionality, since I expect great new features to be constantly added. I truly recommend Workable to everyone recruiting people for their business, even just for the time it's going to save you!

January 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

Easy to use and user friendly. I live the hiring cadence that is used to catagorize candidates. So far, very little issues.

Cons

Really, there aren't that many. It's been a very intuitive process using Workable. I like the layout and havent had or seen many issues.

August 9, 2016

Always nice to find software that not only works as promised for the job intended, but helps you improve the actual process.

Pros

Cost effective subscription levels, ease of use, defined hiring process, reusable templates for common functions.

Cons

Nothing yet.

### "Organized Event Staffing"

November 8, 2019

4.0

Other than some poor customer service communication issues, the software has performed up to expectations.

Pros

The small business I work at, Kurbside Katering, gave this software a free trial test. It is similar to other staffing software. Claims to have a lower hiring cost reduction, waiting on the outcome of 2 recent hires. So far, so good. Page layouts and navigation are very nicely done.

Cons

Customer service so far has been a bit hard to communicate. It maybe a rare occurrence, no more after more usage. Other than that, no problems to speak ofm

### "Workable review"

August 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

Workable is extremely easy to use. The features built in are very self explanatory and the job boards are top notch.

Cons

Everything seems to be coming at a price now. Workable started off as one of the most truly affordable ATS systems. They have not always been the first ATS to the table when introducing new functionality, but they seem to do a good job with it. However, they have been taking away portions of the product that were initially available, which comes off as greedy. Customer service is incredibly inflexible at times, which is quite frustrating for a company that has been with them for so long.

### "Satisfactory but not the best"

January 16, 2018

3.0

Pros

Used Workable for a while now and have been more or less satisfied. New enhancements have been released lately and when a bug is found it is reported and fixed in reasonable timeframe. It integrates talent search with the hiring pipeline which is nice. When you identify a candidate with "people search" you can access to his information from all the main social networks like Facebook, Linkedin, etc. which is important in today's recruiting field.

Cons

They bill US companies from their UK system and your bank will charge exchange fees, which is annoying. They didn't let us know this initially. The plans/subscriptions are confusing and require a lot of reading between the lines.

### "Workable Software"

December 9, 2016

5.0

For the price, I believe this is the best option out there. It is also nice to be month-to-month instead of stuck in a contract. This is great for those who post jobs on multiple sites and need something to ensure all the information is together in an easy to read format. 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.

Pros

It's very user friendly. I have been interviewing a lot of candidates recently and this has helped me stay organized.

Cons

I haven't come across anything that I disliked about workable.

### "My company uses Workable to recruit"

February 17, 2019

5.0

I think Workable is very easy to use and it has everything for recruiting needs in one platform.

Pros

Workable has many templates to reply to applicants; streamlining the emailing process.

Cons

Workable has a keyword search function; maybe it would be useful to allow multiple keyword search and allow users to sort those with the most matches.

### "Workable ATS review"

January 19, 2015

4.0

After endless searching/testing of ATS's via free trials Workable is where I found myself the most comfortable and productive. The UI is so simple yet effective I find myself having fun managing candidates through Workable's pipeline feature that you can custom tailor to your specific recruiting needs/stages. I would have rated 5 stars but being so new to workable I did not want to jump the gun until I get a few solid months of use in. I will be updating my review to 5 stars very soon as long as the customer service/support continues there fantastic response rate. Fantastic Product.

Pros

\- Stellar customer support - Friendly UI - Google Apps Integration

Cons

\- None so far

### "Streamlined hiring process, eliminated paper and reduced hiring time"

January 14, 2015

5.0

Pros

The best thing about the product is it is very user-friendly and is easy to navigate and understand. It only took 30 minutes to set up, and our training time for new users is about 15 minutes. There are tutorials on every functionality and subject to help you be successful in hiring. Workable offers an easy way to track candidates through your pipeline, communicate internally with your team and externally with candidates, set up interviews, advertise your positions and report on your activity.

Cons

What I like the least is it does not have the ability to create assessments for candidates. It also doesn't create a new URL when you repost a position, so your job post goes to the back of the search results in the job boards.

September 2, 2016

4.0

Pros

I like that it aggregates the job posting to different sites with the click of one button. It allows you to create your own template responses. It is easy and keeps you logged in. We absolutely recommend it.

Cons

I wish they had entire HRIS with onboarding system. We don't use all the functionality of it because we pay for a system that does all our HR/Benefits/Payroll, etc. and I haven't seen that capability in Workable.
