### "Very Satisfactory Tool for the Price"

May 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's a great tool for the hiring process of companies who have to fill-in multiple positions and want to attract a large pool to be able to get the best candidates for the positions open. You can post jobs on multiple job boards easily which includes some of the big job boards as well. It's an effortless way to manage candidate database for each job. With the resume parsing and background screening, it helps choose prospects without the tedious activity of going through the resumes one by one as it filters out resumes according to your parameters. Easily track prospects and schedule interviews.

Cons

There are some setbacks when compared with pricier and bigger ATS. However, for the price, it covers the basics well.

### "Intuitive usability, elegant user experience, superb customer service "

April 1, 2015

5.0

We initially signed up for the Workable free trial, but were so impressed we took on a package a few days in. There were features that sprung up immediately as game-changers for us : the ease with which it hoovers everything about a candidate into the platform, the team commentary and the ability to keep a candidate in mind for something more suitable later. In terms of the UI, very elegant, well-designed, everything is in the right place -- possibly a bit too muted in palette for my personal extravagant taste, but a joy to use overall. And for the real litmus test, customer service, hand on heart, BEST we've ever seen. We had trouble with entering something unusual (intra-EU VAT exemption) in an invoice and wrote to customer service for help, and within an hour we had a very polite and constructive live-support chat, and within two we had programmers working to hard code something for us. Highly recommended .

### "Great Hiring Software"

May 8, 2019

4.0

Pros

I didn't know about Workable until last year when I was to apply to a firm. I like the fact that it friendly for new users and it helps to stack data of applicants, hiring managers and various job role. I adopted the use afterward and I don't have a regret.

Cons

If you have issues using this software, it takes a while before you get support from their customer specialist. I think they should have a livechat or something that can attend to applicant's enquiries promptly.

### "Solid ATS"

June 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

Workable isn't the flashiest ATS that I've used, but it gets the job done. It's great that you get access to a mobile app to do some recruiting on the go.

Cons

The interface is easy enough to navigate and the recruiting profiles look great, but it would be great if the recruiting pipeline had a better visual representation.

### "Easy to use, makes hiring quicker and easier"

June 24, 2015

4.5

Pros

Workable is really easy and intuitive to use for hiring managers, recruiters and candidates. I don't need to train my team in how to use it. Everything is clear, the system is always reliable and questions are answered promptly. My hiring managers in other locations find it very easy to use, all correspondence is kept in one place and the hiring process is clean and clear in this format. It is also exceptionally good value for money.

Cons

I would like an app version for mobile and tablet. I would also like to be able to store speculative candidates.

### "Easy to use and they keep you up to date!"

October 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

Lots of information when they change features or update. Easy to view and move candidates around. Email updates daily so you are able to see who has applied and for what roles without the need to log on.

Cons

The emails can often end up in the junk folder - this may be because of our domain and not workable. During a launch of a new item and the webinar attached to the launch sometimes they are premium products but you are a not premium user, it can take while to find this out. Can be frustrating.

5.0

Pros

Automation and integrate-ability. I like the fact that you can integrate so many things easily to Workable and after integrating everything works automatically.

### "Does the job"

December 13, 2016

4.0

I have a free Workable account which I use for US recruitment. It's a pretty standard ATS with various social integrations. It does the job for the amount of recruiting I do.

Pros

Easy communication between hiring managers Pulls candidates' social profiles Integrates with company website Allows for a customized workflow

Cons

Lot's of emails- can get lost Customer support is typically live chat, not phone Updated version doesn't have an easy way to share the job- still, don't know where the job link can be found within the platform.

### "Workable is SO much better than the old way of tracking job applicants"

March 31, 2015

5.0

We just started using Workable on a suggestion of a good friend who runs an HR software company and has "seen it all." The reason I asked his advice is we were starting the hiring process for a number of new positions and was hoping to find a better way of managing the incoming applications. Last time we did a key hire, we got more than 100 applicants in two weeks. With our old process, it was overwhelming and unmanageable. So, we decided to try Workable. In just one week of use, I can say already that Workable is the right solution for us. We've already received dozens of quality applicants. More importantly (and the reason we are trying it), we're finding the process of managing the applications much easier and much more effective. Compared to the old way (manually keeping track in Excel and file folders), it's night and day. We're a very happy new Workable customer.

### "We use to struggle with recruiting and having everything in one place until we found workable. "

July 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

Workable allows us to keep track of all of our job postings and all of the candidates who applies for a position at the company. We have them do assessments, upload their resume, submit links and much more. You can take your candidates through different steps like reviewing CV and phone screening. It has a nice clean and simple format.

Cons

They can improve on the visuals of the software, make it a bit more easy on the eyes or maybe allowing us to personalize the background a bit.

I have been using Workable for a month now and like the results. Its pretty easy to use and has Indeed for their job postings. They have integrated job posting websites and most of my replies came from Indeed and other portals were useless to me.

Pros

Good outcome on job postings Easy to use Good pricing model.

Cons

Pricing plans can be little better.

### "Worked great for us"

April 13, 2016

4.5

Pros

Great customer service. Product is very affordable when posting just a few positions. Also has a lot of great features. Mobile website works great for our managers to access from their smartphones while on the job.

Cons

The application customization could be a little more feature rich. I was not able to build our complete company application in the program. This makes the recruiter have to reach back out the the candidates and have them fill out an " official " and more detailed application before being interviewed.

### "Great way to advertise job postings"

March 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

Workable has a very aesthetically pleasing user interface. It's generally easy to post jobs and have them be published on many boards. I really like that there's a dedicated job page for the company with each job having it's own dedicated page. I really like how you can make different options mandatory/optional/do not show easily from the same page.

Cons

Sometimes the pages and the options seem complicated. Trying to find where everything is takes a little getting used to

### "Easily my favorite ATS"

October 5, 2017

4.0

Easy to manage, collaborative-friendly recruiting software.

Pros

Super user-friendly software with little to no learning curve. I love that you can schedule to your Outlook calendar straight from the website. Pre-screen filters are quick to implement and highly effective. Very easy to collaborate with multiple personnel involved in hiring without accidentally providing access to postings they should not see.

Cons

Prices are high! Price per posting compared to competitors like BambooHR or ZipRecruiter are significantly higher.

### "New to workable, but it ticks all the boxes."

March 27, 2015

5.0

Choosing an ATS system is tough, there are many options out there and many shapes and sizes at varying costs. After trialling a lot of different systems, Workable came out on top by a good distance for our SME. We currently have 35 employees and I can see workable helping us well into the 100s of employees as we grow. There are some great features, the UI is very intuitive and it was very easy for me and the team to learn. Most importantly, it isn't overloaded with too many features when all I need is a good understanding of my pipeline. There are some some feature updates I'm hoping for but the team seem very receptive to improving the product, something the dinosaur ATS systems don't seem as enthusiastic about. All in all, I'm very pleased and hope that we continue to have the same success with Workable.
