### "your inbox for all new candidates"

August 16, 2016

4.0

i've hired more than a dozen people using workable in the last 6 months. it's convenient but you may find it a little expensive unless you're constantly hiring.

Pros

a single inbox for everyone involved in hiring predefined (& user customizable) templates make it easy to send single/bulk emails intuitive user interface free (&paid) postings to multiple job boards

Cons

pretty expensive for what it is. they deprecated their cheaper pricing tier. craigslist has workable as one of the ban words

### "Useful Recruitment Tool"

June 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

Used this system while consulting a company on hiring. The software was fairly intuitive, but was not really my preference. Lineup seemed correct for the pricing and the team was friendly enough.

Cons

I didn't really like the layout of the recruitment pipeline and the software seemed to have some jumpy areas between each stage of the cycle.

### "Useful ATS"

January 26, 2015

4.0

Workable is great because I can keep track of all our applicants and referrals in one place. Their support team is pretty efficient.

Pros

Support team is efficient Can send candidates calendar invites through the platform Can have hiring managers look at candidates on their own and put notes in there about each one Fairly easy to use

Cons

Wish there were more functions

### "Happy with this ATS"

November 25, 2015

5.0

Pros

Simple and clean UI. Program is very intuitive. Help desk gets 9 of 10 (for some reason, 1 question I asked went unanswered for 48 hours), they typically respond in under an hour. Flexible pricing is great. If you have a few reqs open, you will likely end up on the high end at 10+ pricing.

Cons

Impossible to call for customer support. Need to rely on the e-chat line.

### "Workable is a gamechanger"

July 10, 2014

5.0

Pros

Workable's product and customer service are both excellent. Their software allows our organization to communicate between various divisions in the company and coordinate hiring with personnel in multiple states. This tool has saved us thousands of dollars in hiring costs and eliminated all our old headaches.

Cons

The resume section sometimes has problems printing certain resumes, and you have to find creative ways around it like selecting all the text and then using Control + P instead of using the download function.

### "An agency recruiter's dream"

March 19, 2015

5.0

It's simply a wonderful product and service. The Workable dream has been sold to many internal recruitment consultants (rightfully so), but it's just as helpful to agency recruiters like myself. - Prevents candidate ownership issues in a far better way than most submission portals. - Easy access - no time wasted in providing information about the candidate. - Clear and open communication between agency recruiter, internal recruiter, and hiring manager. The perfect relationship maintainer. - Makes the process less transactional. - Not full of automated rubbish like other portals. - I've had NO functionality issues. Basically, I'm a big fan :)

### "Unable to stop automatic renewal"

March 13, 2017

1.0

This is a useful product however there is no way to stop automatic renewal unless you downgrade the account to a basic version straightaway and lose the remaining time you have left. They are basically penalising you for stopping automatic renewal. This is a manipulative technique meant to encourage you to stay on and then banking on you forgetting to renew the day before your licence is due for renewal.

### "Great hiring tool which gives perfect oversight"

January 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

The whole hiring process is nicely presented as a funnel which shows different applicants at different stages of hiring. This gives you perfect oversight of where you are in the hiring process.

Cons

It's a little bit expensive to use. If you're a small company or a startup it might not be something that you would like to work with immediately.

Pros

It is extremely simple to learn yet very functional. Perfect for any SME company.

More integrations with free job boards specific to startup companies would be great!

### "Best recruiting platform"

March 20, 2015

5.0

The very first time I've used Workable, I was totally impressed with the ease of use and the UX. The simplicity of this platform is unparalleled to any other hiring SaaS. The ability to track applicants and comment on them or read comments from team-mates is great and saves tons of time from dealing with emails and excel files. The software is very easy to use, but if you have any question or issue their support service is fast, kind and friendly. I totally recommend this platform to anyone (from small teams to large companies) looking for a sophisticated hiring platform at great value for money.

4.0

Pros

### "Simple, and easy to setup and use!"

July 26, 2016

4.0

Pros

Quick and easy support and the product is intuitive and easy to setup. It also offers advanced features and reporting. Multiple users and security features and can accommodate OFCCP compliance.

Cons

Pricing model is not ideal for the per job cost. Many competitors allow unlimited jobs and price by seat.

### "Workable has changed my recruiting world!"

June 1, 2015

5.0

Pros

In addition to having all my applicants in one place, the best feature of Workable is the ability to collaborate with hiring managers. No longer do they have to wait for HR to send them the applications, they can elect to see new applicants the moment they apply. HR and hiring managers can communicate with each other and directly with the applicants and Workable keeps a record of everything!

Cons

Although not the fault of Workable, a popular website for posting jobs, Craigslist, does not allow employers to post the Workable job link on job postings. Applicants can be directed to the employers' website, which Craigslist does permit.

I have used the Workable's application such as complement in a biggest platform for recruiting and marketing, the app Is very useful when we need to organize our selected candidates by the API.

Pros

Cons

The app needs an edition option when you use the Workable's API.

### "Workable is able to cover most of your needs"

February 7, 2018

4.0

Pros

The Workable ATS has the possibility to customize the hiring process for each vacant position and this will make it more flexible than any other ATS without this feature. Also, we can assign each hiring project to different members of the recruiter team. Various reports based on mostly important hiring KPIs would be another advantage. Workable also have a chrome extension named "People Search" which is so useful in sourcing candidates from the web.

Cons

"People Search" capability has some problems in gathering updated data from different sources. Moreover, the application form designer has some issues in put some fields mandatory.

### "Deceptively thorough and incredibly easy to use"

March 24, 2015

5.0

The number of killer features workable has integrated has ruined other ATS's for me. I've tried all the usual suspects and they were always lacking at least one or two significant features or functionality. One huge bonus is that our non-tech savvy hiring managers find it incredibly simple to pick up and use.

### "Workable made our recrutiment process easier."

January 15, 2015

4.5

Pros

I like the ease of using Workable. I love the fact that I can collect all the data in one place (it reduced usage of a lot of mails). It's also nice to be able to post job announcements directly to our website (no programmers needed any more).

Cons

I don't like the fact that I cannot change the template of announcements. Sometimes I need to wait too long for appointments to reach my Google calendar from Workable (10-15 minutes).

Easy to teach managers how to use it. Great reporting system to get quick data. Very affordable, for a number of functions this system can use.

Pros

Easy to use, affordable, able to get good data, flexible, and reliable.

Cons

I would like to integrate this with my HR system

### "Simplicity that works"

September 14, 2013

5.0

I have used workable recently in the context of the small agency I have co-founded. By first looking at the app, I had doubts how would this be any better than keeping track of the hiring process in, say, an Excel sheet. It turned out that the biggest gain from Workable is tidiness and simplicity. You get all the info in one place, reminders take the burden of remembering out of your head, you can compare easily the submissions and filter those unwanted.

Pros

Simple, straightforward, clear.

Cons

Pricing model could be more flexible.

### "Helped our hiring process tremendously "

March 20, 2015

5.0

Before Workable, our applications were all scattered in Gmail. It was difficult for internal collaborators to understand which applicants were favored, and it was time consuming to organize the applicants material (resume, cover letter, questionnaire, thank you notes, etc.). Workable has truly saved our team SO much time and headache in working together on the hiring process. Everything is organized and easy to find in Workable, and collaborators are able to make notes on applicant's profiles for colleagues to see. I LOVE this system so far.

November 1, 2018

Pros

Nice clear delineation of candidates from sourcing to candidacy - easy for me to check in on the process

Cons

Pool of potential candidates is split into sourced / applied. At times I just want to have all the candidates in one bucket.

### "A great way to find Employees"

December 8, 2016

5.0

I've used Workable on several different occasions and each time it did not disappoint me. It's a great way to find employees and to ensure they fit your criteria. The only downside is it tends to be more geared towards bigger companies, not the small guys. It's always quite expensive so I usually do a monthly membership and cancel once I found a new hire.

Pros

The clean interface and customization of your application

Cons

Too expensive and geared towards big businesses
