Workable
I am a recruiter, and Workable is my applicant tracking system. I use it to keep track of all applicants, I use the email and texting functions to contact candidates. Workable connects to a variety of different job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn, etc.) and the candidates are pulled right from there to Workable.
- User interface
- Texting
- Applicant tracking
- Texting
- Identifying duplicate candidates

Workable provides good value for cost - and gets the job done!
We use Workable across our who organization to recruit, receive and track applicants to all of our roles, end to end. We use it to post jobs to our careers site and integrated job boards (linkedin, etc); receive applicants; upload other profiles that come through other sources; track feedback and key info on the candidates throughout the interview process; and do background checks.
- Fast & seamless publishing to job boards
- Ease of feedback entry and collaboration with hiring team
- Ease of management across multiple open reqs
- Reporting of metrics / data visualization is not as intuitive as it could be
- Job archive is not easily searchable
- Diversity targeting & tracking

Workable has helped us find and hire the perfect team members!
Workable is being used across the whole organization as a part of our hiring efforts. We use it to collect our candidates and to move them through the pipeline during interviews. It's allowing us to keep organized even with a high number of candidates and ensures that all of our team comments and notes are kept in a single place that we can go back and reference at any time.
- Easy applications for candidates
- Easy to move candidates through the pipeline
- Organizes comments well
- Would like to see more default reports on dashboard

Great experience
I was the main user of Workable. Worked on it as recruiting system / ATS. Also, hiring managers worked on the system with me on specific jobs. Workable helped us manage the hiring process better, to track candidates, to improve the flow and to easily contact recruiters and candidates.
- Track the hiring process
- Provide templates for every step, help us be more professional
- Increase exposure of job post on relevant job boards
- Issues with languages, when CV arrived in Hebrew sometimes Workable didn't recognize the name
- Identify double CV in the system. If [the] same candidate applies for a different role it will still appear double.

Workable made job application process easy
I used Workable to apply for a new position. I found it to be a seamless experience and it was easy to complete my application. Even better, I ended up receiving the jobs, which means the company was definitely looking at Workable -- it must have been easy on the backend to see the responses I gave to their application questions.
- Good interface
- User centered features
- Easy to navigate
- Would have been good to check status of application
- The next part of the hiring process was outside Workable
- Wish it would have autosaved responses

Next-Gen Recruitment Platform
Workable is used by the Talent Acquisition team within the HR function as well as the Hiring team to coordinate and conduct interviews. Workable offers a world class Applicant Tracking System which takes care of all the recruitment task from defining a job description to posting it at hundreds of job boards, conducting the interviews over video calls, and finally the onboarding of the hired candidate. It is backed by the cutting edge Artificial Intelligence recruiting platform which allows us to reach not only the active potential candidates but also the passive ones.
- One can literally hire people without even opening their laptops. The mobile apps are present across Android and iOS devices and are powerful enough to get all the work done.
- Customer support is at the next level. It's the best I have seen so far for any technical vendor.
- Help[s] us tap [into a] more diverse talent pool by optimizing our job descriptions.
- Capability to search the job descriptions, archived posts, and resumes needs to be drastically improved.
- No feature to see if the candidate has applied for other roles in the past in the organization and how [they] fared then.
- Employees should have a way to track the status of their referred candidates.
Workable is one of the most intuitive tools when it comes to managing candidate databases, especially if you need to evaluate the talent of each candidate, so that those who advance to testing as prospective employees are those who meet the most characteristics that fit the needs of the company. We find that Workable has a very flexible candidate tracking tool. Workable manages a convenient system based on the implementation of job objectives, which, as mentioned above, offer many alternatives when it comes to detailed follow-ups that comply with a certain set of specific characteristics within our talent management. We can create templates with all kinds of information for applicants to review, and we can even export them and send them via email, or as reminders added to the company's activity calendar. These templates can vary in format and quality as much as needed. The platform can be integrated with social networks to be able to review the job applications that come to the company through them, and thus be able to follow up more extensively on the prospective employees who send such applications, having access to more information about them.
- The platform allows us to implement a scorecard service through which it is possible to keep track of the quality of nutrition that each prospective employee could bring to the company, so that the decision to hire any of them is as profitable as possible.
- Communication with candidates is very easy to track, so that it is possible to make sure that the results proposed by each employee in the recruitment area are totally adequate. This is useful to filter possible failures that may occur on the part of the recruitment team.
- The platform works with recruitment funnels, whose structure allows us to purify the information of real utility for the company by the employees, and where we can even add databases with the information of all prospective employees that are kept in the recruitment process.
- Using Workable in conjunction with the information provided by their online technical assistants results in a huge improvement in our labor operation, as they know the best strategies to leverage our hiring management. Workable's technical support is active most of the day.
- Using Workable was no problem for our employees in the human talent development area, mostly because they, despite not having any experience with Workable, were able to adapt to the platform with incredible speed, thanks to the ease of use of Workable and the number of tools it has right out of the box.
- Unlike many other recruitment-oriented services, Workable does not let us use internal HR tools, so our human talent management with Workable is limited to hiring only, and this makes it impossible to match candidates with regular employees within the platform.
- It has no employee portal creation function, so the information provided on our employee portal web page is usually not useful to employees, as we cannot create a second portal where we can inform them about our job bulletins.
- It does not allow you to evaluate the amount of learning that candidates have received within the service unless they expressly state so. In this sense, it would be useful if you could add a form where candidates could fill in windows with their opinion about certain points of the process.

Great interview software
This tool is used by our team to streamline the new hire process and our recruitment process. It is only used by the HR team to be able to manage the HR pipeline. The rest of our team does not really use it. It solves the business problem of bringing on new people to work with us.
- Schedule meetings.
- Monitor pipeline.
- Documentation.
- Hashtags.
- Customization.
- Key words.

A higher form of hiring
Workable is used as our main hiring platform across all departments. It streamlines our job posting and recruitment process by posting new roles to our website and all major hiring websites. We can sponsor posts from within Workable and have one place where we can edit all of our postings across all job boards. It saves hours of work and helps generate more candidate pipeline.
- Creating job postings
- Editing job postings
- Sponsored post
- Posting to multiple hiring sites
- Candidate pipeline management
- AI Recommendations to improve applicant quantity or quality
- SLA/Uptime
- Automatic smart screening
Workable has been an awesome partner for our company. We have grown from a team of 40 to over 120 employees in the past 18 months. I run the sales team, but the whole org uses the app. Business results: faster time to hire, better collaboration between interviewers, and the scorecards have helped us roll out a hiring methodology and an ICP.
- The mobile experience is awesome.
- Implementation was super easy.
- The app continues to get better features.
- No complaints from us.

Workable is great for recruiting!
The recruiting department uses it to keep track of candidates and allow hiring teams to be part of the talent acquisition process more fluidly. It is also where the hiring team leaves feedback for candidates after they come in for on-site interviews. It helps recruiting and various other departments to work together easily on open requisitions.
- Feedback tool for hiring managers and hiring teams to use post on-site interview.
- Searching candidates for new openings.
- Ease of use for the whole team.
- For feedback to not be seen by the whole team you need to create a feedback huddle (internal meeting per candidate) within the application.
- Being able to see what other applications the candidate has applied to within company history.
- Having an easier way to store old requisitions would be nice.

It is exactly a Human Resources choice
We were attempting to take care of the issues that join physically following hopefuls through spreadsheets and shared drives. We are a quick development start up and required something that could scale with us.
We've extensively chopped down the time our HR staff spends on employing, and found an answer that rapidly and effectively connects to the ideal individuals at the correct time simultaneously. I've likewise lost a little weight amid the procedure however that may very well be because of better dietary patterns and expanded movement
- It's simple and easy to use. Easily posts to external job boards with just a click. The employer careers pages are simple and clean- could be more customizable and interactive but the product is fairly cheap compared to competitors.
- Customer service is FAST and always helpful. We've been with workable since the beginning and they've taken our feedback into consideration.
- General usability and intuitive usage
- Ability to tag and search tags is helpful
- The fact that emails are linked so that full interactions are logged is helpful
- The route from the home screen isn't generally instinctive. In any case, once you become acclimated to it, it is anything but a major ordeal.
- When printing resumes, enable them to keep up their unique arranging presented by the competitor
- Coordinate an element like Assistant.to for booking with the goal that I can give applicants a few diverse schedule openings to look over that consequently match up to my timetable

Workable is a lesser known ATS but has a lot to offer
Our talent acquisition team uses Workable as our ATS. It is used across the whole organization as a way to submit candidate referrals and is also utilized by hiring managers across the organization to review candidates and give feedback on candidates in the pipeline.
- Very customizable. We can set up unique interview stages specific to each requisition. Also, we highly utilize the integration with Zapier to automate and customize the ATS to follow our hiring process, vs forcing our hiring process to fit the ATS.
- Innovative company adding new features all the time. We love the numerous integrations they offer and are excited to start using the HelloSign feature to simplify our offer letter approval process.
- Love being able to bulk message candidates and bulk disposition candidates. We don't always handle candidates profile by profile so this is a must. Believe it or not, not all ATS systems allow you to do this.
- Workable has a fabulous help center full of great articles. They have already created tons of great content that we like to share to help us train hiring mangaers on best practices. Usually you wouldn't think have a great help center is that important but it ends up being very helpful!
- Love that Workable automatically publishes jobs to free job boards, and the premium job postings are one-click and done! This saves us so much time.
- Submitting employee referrals isn't the easiest. I wish Workable had a more seamless process for this within the ATS. Employees aren't able to track where their referrals are at in the process and are required to use the people search tool to submit referrals rather than referring someone from say LinkedIn or Facebook.
- Doesn't have a built-in requisition approval process. Users can collaborate on job descriptions, but there isn't an approval process you can use and it is difficult to tie a job to a requisition.
- While we use the Zapier integration to help automate a lot of our actions, Workable could be better at building in its own automation. For example, currently, there are several clicks to disposition candidates. Instead, Workable could tie a disposition email to specific disposition reasons, so when you select that disposition reason the candidate automatically gets an email with that pre-selected message.

Time Saver
I am the main user. For each posted job, I add co-workers who will be involved in the interview and hiring process.Using Workable has made the entire recruiting process streamlined, organized, and simplified.
- It's easy to add co-workers to Workable, and since it's very user-friendly, they are able to use it without any training. We can share comments, evaluations, and scheduling right in each candidate's profile. I can customize the process based on co-workers' needs: for example, one hiring manager asked me to add a "Maybe" category so he could easily review candidates that he was not sure about.
- Job postings can be saved and reused. Pre-screening questions are easy to add and change. I can post to numerous free job boards with just one click. It's also easy to post to premium boards.
- Workable is integrated with my email and my calendar, which is a huge time saver.
- Customer service is excellent. Fast response, patient with my many questions, knowledgeable.
- I would like to have a "keyword search" function right in the candidate's resume.

Workable Vibes at the New VibeHCM
Only used by three workers within the Company (2 Corporate Recruiters, and One HR Manager, Truly only 2 users, the Recruiters.) Addressed the following
- Applicant Tracking 2016-2017
- Keyword Recruiting searches 2016-2017 "boolean string tools"
- Pre Hire Screened Questions ("Local to D/FW, Yes or No, Do you have 3 years of XYZ")
- User feel - Very easy to sort through applicants by position, also time relevant of when applied
- Very easy to post positions that sync up to other of our platforms such as Indeed, and LinkedIn.
- Parsing resumes and other attachments within a candidate's profile. It was accomplished but can be easier.
Workable is used across the organisation with all managers having access to rate candidates and add in comments. It has streamlined the recruitment process and enabled us to build a pipeline of future talent.
- It is intuitive and easy for users to use.
- It is easy to collaborate and add comments.
- The tag's allow for quick notes, pipeline and creating different ways to identify candidates for future opportunities.
- Flexible in how the dashboard is set up and you can change it easily to suit your needs.
- The ability to set up messages to send in the future would be a nice feature to have.
- The brief questions that are asked in the application process - it would be nice to have these plus contact details at the top rather having to scroll down as they are the first thing I look at to decide if we will progress.

Workable has worked for us!
We are using Workable for our recruiting process, from job posting through offer letter. I manage it within HR, but our managers are responsible for reviewing candidates and providing feedback. It has helped us provide a centralized place for all recruiting information and candidate tracking.
- Easy to use and move from each step in the recruitment process.
- The integration with the free postings.
- The ability to add evaluations and assessments.
- It would be nice to see more editing capabilities around the job posting layout.
August 29, 2018
Can't See Ever Leaving Workable!
Our hiring team uses Workable to manage applicants and move them through our defined hiring process stages. We also use Workable to house our candidates that had previously previously applied for open positions and reach out to them if a relevant new position becomes available. We're able to house and collaborate on hundreds of notes on candidates to make the best hiring decisions for our company.
- Easy to use by any member of the hiring team.
- Define and move candidates through stages.
- Syncing with Gmail to send emails and schedule interviews.
- The people search function doesn't stay within the geographic scope set
- I usually forget where important items are like being able to edit templates and hiring stages. Quick links could be helpful.
- It would be neat to see how your ads are performing in reference to your paid ad listings.

Workable Really Works
Workable was used across the entire organization, including HR, Hiring Managers and Executives. We used the tool to ensure our recruiting pipeline was streamlined so that we knew where each candidate was in the pipeline and what next steps we needed to take in order to ensure a positive candidate experience.
- Workflow
- Basic Reporting
- Collaboration
- Some of the tabs hindered user experience
- Not as robust and as comprehensive as other ATS systems
- Easy to use but would love even more customization control
We used Workable as our applicant tracking system. We would post to several job sites, manage applicant flow, schedule interviews, send job offers and background checks. Workable consolidated our records so that everyone involved in recruiting had a a central source of information. We were able to handle all our different jobs/offers/candidates within the system.
- Workable was extremely user friendly and aesthetically pleasing to use. I had no trouble training or setting up new users, they always caught on quickly.
- You are able to quickly review candidates at a glance with all notes, texts or emails sent at the top of their profile. This made jumping into a job order easy for those who may be out of the loop.
- Workable's customer support is stellar, they offer free training and very timely responses for any questions or concerns you may have.
- The ability to schedule interviews via Workable was great, but it was unable to pull other items from your calendar, so it was easy to end up double booked for appointments if you weren't careful.
- The reporting leaves a bit to be desired, there is not a lot of customization for what I really needed reports on.
August 29, 2018
We love Workable
At HireVue, we use Workable across our entire organization as our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Workable is where our team refers candidates and a place for hiring managers to manage their hiring process.
- Workable integrates well with Zapier to create automatic recruiting workflows.
- Workable is easy to use for hiring managers who are hiring for multiple roles.
- Workable pairs nicely with LinkedIn.
- Workable could be more mobile friendly.
- Workable could have a better candidate referral process.
August 29, 2018
I'm not in HR and I love Workable
Our company uses Workable across our entire organization to keep everyone aligned on potential candidates for open positions and the status of candidates that have been brought in for interviews. Previous to Workable we were trying to track candidates manually and spent a lot of time going back and forth over email and Slack to discuss candidates.
- My company is a relatively small startup and we love to maximize each employees social media reach to help find high quality candidates. I can easily go into the "Jobs" section, see open positions and then post to social media sites. If I find who I think might be a qualified candidate can refer them inside of Workable by clicking "Refer a Candidate"
- Prior to using Workable there was no way for me to easily provide input after interviewing a candidate and see what other interviewers had to say. Now I can quickly input my feedback, see other employees feedback.
- I personally have a busy schedule that includes travel so it was nice to quickly access a candidate prior to an interview, see their resume and where they are in the interview process. Our HR team loves the Google calendar integration so they can check my schedule and get something set up when I'm going to actually be in the office and available.
- It would be nice able to post open positions directly to social media from the Jobs page.

Workable is the best for startups: good price, organized, lets you post and discover & recruit
We used Workable to both find and usher candidates through our hiring pipeline. We are a small (under 10 people) startup, looking for specific engineers. Previously we had been using spreadsheets, which was getting messy and tedious. I read reviews of about 10 different ATSs, and Workable seemed like the best bang for our buck. My favorite part about Workable is the initial process: other Applicant Tracking Systems had you fill out a form, block time out of your schedule, do a demo with a salesperson...the whole process would take days. I wanted an ATS at the speed of startups: now. I went onto Workable's website and they simply handed me some keys to a demo, and I showed myself in. Within 5 minutes I could have taught someone how to use it. Within 15 minutes I purchased it. It was so intuitive. The fact that they don't insist you talk to a salesperson, and let the product speak for itself, is really what stands out for me. This is why I would recommend Workable, above all things.
- Chrome extension to find candidate info (although full use of this feature nearly doubles the price of the monthly subscription, fair warning)
- Organizing candidates through a pipeline, so you know where each person stands
- Letting co-workers share thoughts in a private chat about the candidate
- Super easy to learn the interface-- easiest of probably any ATS I've seen.
- Lets you post on major job boards for free, using one form (included with the monthly fee), and double checks your work to make sure it's posted correctly
- Lets you easily sift through candidates from job boards
- Chrome extension (to find candidate info) works only about 80% of the time
- Chrome extension nearly doubles the cost, they don't tell you that ahead of time
- They are a new company, and it shows: features are changing a lot, but, their customer service is also extremely responsive and actually hears your feedback
