Workable helps companies improve the quality and efficiency of their hiring by simplifying the most time-consuming task: browsing, screening and managing candidates.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/b7/K5/TABX339LXWV4.PNGWorkableWorkable Really Works2018-08-29T19:16:01.148ZWorkable 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,8,A streamlined pipeline means better candidate experience which can attract better candidates.
Ease of use was excellent which engaged those team members who used the tool.
User inbox was helpful to stay organized - which is key in Talent Acquisition.,Greenhouse, Jobvite and LinkedIn Talent,Greenhouse, LinkedIn Talent, VetteryJim LeahyI'm not in HR and I love Workable2017-08-24T19:20:09.467ZOur 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.,9,Allows employees that are not directly involved in hiring to effortlessly enter the process of interviewing and providing feedback. I can focus on my core responsibilities and not waste time on unnecessary back and forth with HR.
Workable allows employees like me that are not in HR and directly involved with hiring to look at open Jobs and help find quality candidates.
Save HR time by being able to see my Calendar and quickly schedule interviews or team meetings about candidates.,Octiv (formerly Tinderbox), Google Drive, Zenefits, Expensify, Slack,40,2,Sending out the job listing to a variety of online listing platforms.
Getting everyone involved in the hiring process that is respectful of the employees time, allows them to interact in the process without taking un-reasonable amounts of time from their already busy workday.
Scheduling the interviews and letting everyone know when they are coming in. Sometimes the basics can be the most difficult. We want to meet our potential hires face to face and spend some time with them. This proved very hard to coordinate without workable,We didn't intend for workable to feel like a social media platform where everyone can interact in a fun constructive way. Through this discussion we've realized that sometimes the candidate we first had in mind and the candidate we really need are not the same. Without workable and our collaboration on it's platform we would be getting things wrong.,You don't know what you don't know, the good thing is that since we have strongly adopted the platform it will be the first place we go when implimenting something really cool we don't even know about.,9Dustin McBrideWorkable is a lesser known ATS but has a lot to offer2018-09-12T17:07:36.800ZOur 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.,8,Positive impact because of the ability to build scalable processes for a small recruiting team
A good investment because of ability to include people in the process who are outside of HR. The ability for others to get visibility on the hiring process and gather buy-in from teams outside of HR/Talent
ATS systems can be expensive but I feel Workable is very reasonably priced for what they offer.,HireVueSarah WheatleyTime Saver2018-09-10T15:43:08.279ZI 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.,10,It's had a huge impact in allowing me to manage my time, and lower my frustration level.,The Applicant Manager, JobAdder Recruitment Software and SmartRecruitersMaryann MerollaGreat product have recommended and implemented into other small to medium businesses2018-08-31T01:48:16.148ZWorkable is used across the organisation with all managers having access to rate candidates and add in comments.

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.,9,Previously we had an Excel spreadsheet which meant it was very difficult to pipeline and identify future talent, Workable allows you to do this in an easy and simple way.

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.,9,It has provided a centralized place for us to track all applicants which has decreased the amount of time it takes to proceed through our recruiting process.
It holds all historical data so when a similar position opens up, we are able to look through the system and find previous candidates that may align with our current needs.,ZenefitsSamantha PachecoHiring? This tool has saved our hiring team time and money.2018-08-28T20:20:28.884ZAs a growing marketing company, we have used Workable extensively to coordinate our hiring efforts among our team. Currently, there are 3 of us involved in the hiring process and it allows us to share information, our personal reviews of the applicants and move them along our process with ease.,Workable keeps us organized in the process. It allows us to easily house all information in one place for easy reference.
It provides us with templates, support, and ideas to improve our internal process. The templates simplify the communication between our team and the candidates.
The ability to source people and move candidates to different job openings increases our ability to fill positions.,Search functions in people search are not always accurate, specifically when looking in a particular geographic area.,9,Workable has decreased the time we need to spend during our hiring process by at least 1/3 from the method we've used in the past. It keeps everything we need in one place and simplifies the entire process for everyone involved.,Asana,Asana, Xero, Google AnalyticsDeb MacRaeWorkable - Great option for a great price!2018-08-28T20:18:50.479ZOur company uses workable for both sourcing candidates, job postings and, an applicant tracking system. We currently have 3 departments using it but we actually just upgraded so that we can have our entire company use the system. It has really helped us streamline the hiring process and reduce communication issues between the hiring managers and HR.,It is very simple to use. We have trained several managers on it and each of them have found it to be helpful and simple.
You cannot beat the price and value. For what Workable is, it is an awesome tool at a fantastic price.
The customer service is great! Any time that we need help, have a question or need a concern addressed our representative is right there willing to help.,I really cannot think of anything. For a medium-sized company like ours, it is great!,10,It has really allowed us to streamline our hiring process and simplified the way that the communication happens from the interview with the hiring managers to HR.
Allowed us to keep all of our candidates in one spot so that we can go back and revisit candidates that we might have another opportunity for later down the line.,Annie Talbot, SHRM-CPWorkable Vibes at the New VibeHCM2018-09-03T22:59:10.533ZOnly used by three workers within the Company (2 Corporate Recruiters, and One HR Manager, Truly only 2 users, the Recruiters.)

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.,8,Workable is an affordable solution to other highly configurable ATS solutions in the marketplace. It's easy to use interface makes it easy for hiring managers to hire top talent and therefore is a justifiable cost for our HR team.
Workable is great for United States-based companies that hire internationally.,,Slack, Expensify, LastPassAbby MathewsGreat for smaller companies, lighter level of features but works just great!2018-08-29T18:23:50.389ZWe 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.,10,If we had continued to grow and used Workable in the same way, we would have been negatively affected by it's usage geared more towards smaller teams.,ZipRecruiter, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM) and BambooHR,ZipRecruiter, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (formerly Microsoft Dynamics CRM), ADP Vantage HCMVerified UserIt is exactly a Human Resources choice2018-09-20T18:24:18.118ZWe 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,10,Simpler access to our competitor pool, and better administration of candidates.
Speedier turnaround for contracting - we are without representatives in different for less time, which is incredible.
Better correspondence with applicants, and less demanding to monitor the correspondence. This has took into account less contender to get 'lost in the general commotion', which could transform into a negative few of our association.,The Applicant Manager, SmartRecruiters and BambooHR,HireVue, ADP Vantage HCM, PDFfiller, Expensify, Zenefits, BrightEdge, Xero, Pipeline SuiteVerified UserWorkable is the best for startups: good price, organized, lets you post and discover & recruit2018-08-28T20:24:42.876ZWe 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,8,Cut our candidate search and hire time in half
Allowed us to organize our candidates better,,Google Drive, Slack, Shopify, Basecamp, WordPressVerified UserBest bang for your buck!2018-08-28T20:15:27.577ZWe started using Workable when I first realized that there wasn't an applicant tracking system in place. We needed something that would be user-friendly that way we could train our supervisors to really utilize the program. It isn't the fanciest but it gets the job done and their customer service department is great!,It is user-friendly and it can be tailored around each specific position you need.
It allows you the opportunity to chose which job boards you want your position posted on.
The software is priced well.,I would like to see more options for integrations with job campaigns on Indeed.
If there was an opportunity to create some sort of reminder or follow-up option, it would help us a ton!,9,It has allowed us to become completely paperless in our recruitment process.
It allows less room for important candidate information to be left out.,Verified UserWorkable is Affordable, Simple, and Sleek2018-08-27T19:35:59.277ZI used Workable to recruit for the human capital management software organization where I was working. The company did not have an ATS before I joined. After looking around, we chose Workable because it was affordable, easy to use, and covered all of the areas we needed.,Workable makes it easy to track candidates through the recruiting process. It can be customized for the number of stages a company has to hire someone, from initial interview to final offer.
It is easy to share job postings on Workable across various recruiting platforms.
The Workable dashboard is very user friendly. It is simple to get started effectively and get jobs posted right away.
Workable is very affordable.,It would be nice if Workable had an on-boarding function, where it could still be used after the offer is accepted and the background check complete.,10,Workable was the first ATS my company used and there were never any complaints.

It makes hiring new people so much easier. I think any HR department would greatly benefit from a software program like this. I would recommend it. I especially liked the scorecards and recruiting reports. Also, the career pages are pretty cool, too.,You can make beautiful, easy career landing pages. I haven't seen another program that does this. It's nice not having to go through IT to manage these pages
It's great to be able to work remotely. The whole team can access it.
The dashboard is really user friendly and intuitive.,I wish the people search had more advanced options
It's expensive,8,We didnt keep track of these specific stats, but I can say it had an overall positive impact
It has helped put less time into finding the right candidates, so I can focus on other things.,Brightidea,LinkedIn Talent, BrightEdge, Pipeline SuiteVerified UserStreamline Your Hiring with Ease with Workable!2018-05-25T20:45:37.367ZWe use Workable to manage the hiring processes and candidate pipelines for all our clients. It's an easy way for everyone to see where candidates are in the pipeline and any notes or updates we have on them in real-time. It also tracks our emails between candidates, making our work as transparent as possible - and making it easier for team members to pick up where another one has left off.,Pipeline layout - I can see the whole pipeline easily from a bird's eye view and glean a ton of information with a glance. Not enough finalists? Too many candidates for a specific role still waiting to be scheduled with clients? It helps us prioritize our work in a pinch and pivot as necessary.
Email integration - I use Workable with Gmail (business), so whenever I'm away from my desk I can easily keep up to date on communications with candidates. Workable's email tracking feature also enables me to follow a chain of emails between candidates, clients, and other colleagues to stay up to date as needed - right in my own inbox!
Transparency - I can see when clients have added notes, when a colleague has reached out to a candidate, when a candidate responded at any time. No need to follow up unnecessarily with people to see if they sent an email yet or heard back from someone - I can see it myself and act accordingly!,Candidate timeline history - you could say it's a double-edged sword. I love that I can follow how a candidate has progressed through the process and see all the notes, correspondence, and stage updates on one page, but it's also too much information sometimes. I wish there was a way that I could just filter it to see email history, for example.
Workable going to spam - if you or your client select the option that "hides" your email address in Workable email correspondence, sometimes candidate emails go straight to candidate's spam folders. I try to warn clients and candidates ahead of time about this, but it would be great if it didn't happen at all!
People Search - it's a great tool when it works, but oftentimes it brings up candidate search details that are no longer valid or true (out of date resumes, closed email accounts).,9,Workable has a had positive ROI on our workflow management, as the basic pay-as-you-go feature for a single role is incredibly affordable ($50/month) for a 2-3 month mid-to-senior level candidate search.
The ease of use has helped us move candidates faster as well - our average time to close a role decreased by 22% after our first 6 months of using Workable.,Greenhouse,LastPass, CalendlyVerified UserWorkable Works!2018-02-22T14:17:39.749ZWe use Workable for all of our recruitment needs as our applicant tracking system of choice. About 20 members of our organization, across various departments, have access. We hire on a fairly consistent basis, and Workable helps us keep track of candidates, interviews, evaluations, and reporting. We have it integrated with our company careers page, as well as our company Facebook. As the recruitment coordinator, I use it daily to ensure candidates are coming in, and moving through the process efficiently. Workable is user-friend, so makes this an easy process, even for those who don't use it on a regular basis.
We've also seen value from the various job boards Workable connects us with for free. Many of our candidates come from the free Indeed, Glassdoor and LinkedIn pages, which Workable connects with. This makes posting jobs in multiple places very easy.,Visibility - Workable presents your open jobs in a very prominent manner, and makes it easy to see how many candidates are in each stage.
Connectivity - Hiring mangers/users of Workable are informed when emails are sent from candidates, and correspondence is stored within the platform. Prior to using Workable, we were having trouble keeping track of messaging going between the recruitment coordinator, hiring managers, and candidates. Although it's not 100% accurate, it has helped with this issue.
Reporting - We appreciate the reporting tools Workable has within its platform. We're able to see how we're doing with our hiring, and where we can make improvements, simply by running a report. This is a fairly easy, and user-friendly setting, as well.
Support - Workable has recently added a chat feature to their support, which has been incredibly helpful. Previously, you had to send in a request, and it took a bit to get responses. However, now asking a few questions is very easy.
Resources - Thankfully, this platform is more than just an ATS. Workable's blog, templates, and training information, among other things, are very helpful. If you have employees who are new to interviewing, there are interview kits within the ATS you can provide. They also have great suggestions when it comes to reviewing your interview process. I've recently been accessing this information, and am thankful I found it!,Although Workable is user-friendly, there are times where I find the platform to not be particularly intuitive. There's been several times I've asked a support person how to access what I think is a fairly common-sense feature, and they've said 'we actually don't have that, but that's a great idea! We'll pass that along to our product support team'. An example is the Talent Pool - you would think candidates that apply for a role, but aren't actually a fit could be put in your talent pool, almost like a holding place. Nope - not an option. They have to submit their information through another portal. This, among other features, gives me the impression that actual recruiters/HR professionals were NOT consulting when adding new features/creating the ATS. There's a lot of potential here, but it doesn't seem that anyone actually using the platform was consulted when designing new features.
The People Search function seems to be an after thought, and not particularly helpful. This could be that not enough people are in Workable's pool, but I've yet to find it useful.
Although Workable will post your jobs to other job boards (Indeed, Glassdoor, etc), it does not communicate with those boards, and you as the use have no access to what's being shown on those boards. I recently had an issue with a role on a board, and had to contact support. I was told I'd have to utilize my Glassdoor account to fix the issue. The problem - I don't have one! My only contact with Glassdoor is via Workable. There has to be a better way for the two to communicate.
Features can often be buried within the platform. There have been times where it's difficult to find certain things. Your jobs page is your home screen, which is helpful, but finding items not on that page can often feel like a treasure hunt.,7,Easier access to our candidate pool, and better management of applicants.
Quicker turnaround for hiring - we are without employees in various for less time, which is great.
Better communication with candidates, and easier to keep track of the communication. This has allowed for fewer candidates to get 'lost in the shuffle', which could turn into a negative few of our organization.,HubSpot CRM, 15Five, Lesson.lyErin HolmWorkable - could be called MiracleWorkable!2017-09-01T21:07:00.905ZWorkable recently became our solution of choice for our company and our non-profit foundation.
Immediately, we experienced more clarity, consistency, alignment and confidence.
It's important to us that every candidate feels part of our community. Workable assures us that every candidate is visible, regardless of how they found us.
I love how easy it is for hiring managers to learn how to put their interview toolkit together, connecting our cultural values with job-specific questions.,Candidates get real-time communication! We schedule our interviews through the candidate portal. Customized communication templates help us tailor our responses at every stage of the process. It's so cool to be able to send a different message to people tagged as "friends" or "keep for other role". Easy to sort when you're responding to a group.
Hiring managers are learning quickly and using company "approved" questions. All of us are learning from each other because we see the entire communication thread in one window.
We LOVE having everything about the candidate in one neat place. Everything! How we found them, social profiles, screening questions, comments, whether they know somebody at the company, resume, contact info, interview history... seriously, in one window.
TONS. OF. TIME.,The navigation from the home screen is not really intuitive. But once you get used to it, it's not a big deal.
It's such a huge improvement, it's hard to find anything to improve.,10,Clarity, communication, consistency saves time for everyone involved.
Candidates write back to us letting us know how pleased they are that we communicate with them... even when they don't get the job.
Our leadership team LOVES workable because we can see our entire hiring process, ask questions, raise concerns, etc.
Best investment ever.,Namely, TrelloColleen ClarkThe Workability of Workable2017-08-23T21:16:09.065ZWorkable is managed within the HR department. I have created accounts for key players in our development, marketing and sales teams, as well as for our executives. This allows me to collaborate with relevant team members when hiring for a particular role. This is our primary ATS platform, and we use it for the purpose of moving applicants through our hiring process. We also spend a great deal of time interacting with the pipeline as a whole. We just last week hired someone we'd last interviewed 6 months ago. We use the tag feature to tag applicants that are not suitable at the time we speak to them for any number of reasons, but that strike us as good options for the future. This last week was a perfect example of that paying off. Using a platform like Workable has helped us streamline this process really well.,Custom email templates: much of the time, you send the same or similar communications throughout the hiring process. Having these templates which you can edit, or send in bulk, really makes the process of communicating the same thing to many applicants is fantastic.
Tag an applicant: this allows you to tag someone with any word you choose, like "future" or "sales". When you are looking for someone in sales and want to look back on previous applicants that you liked at the time, you can search for "future + sales" and find them easily. This is exceptional to help you avoid wading through 1000's of applicants you weren't particularly interested in.
Moving candidates from stage to stage: the process of moving candidates to different stages of the hiring process is easy, whether you're doing it one at a time or in bulk. This is a great time saver.,Integrations: I'd like to see a few more integrations with other HR platforms. Workable seems limited in this regard.
Archiving a job: most things in Workable are easy, but finding a way to archive jobs was surprisingly difficult. Once you've found it, it's easy, but it struck me as odd that it was so difficult to find in the first place.
Re-order job listings: I'd love to be able to reorder the listings as they appear on the backend, without being forced into alphabetical order. You can favorite a listing and bring it to the top, but if you favorite more than one, you're once again limited to another subset of alphabetical order.,7,We've managed to hire great people. Our team is a startup and so each hire is crucial. We've made almost no mistakes, and I think Workable has played a part in that success.,Greenhouse,Slack, Zenefits, Google DriveBrad PriceWorkable workability2017-08-22T16:28:10.351ZWe use Workable for hiring employees - full time, seasonal, and interns. It is used across the company in all of our different departments. Each user that does hiring has a specific log in where they are able to view candidates for the job listing that they posted. So in my particular department, I can view one job listing, and my coworker can view a different if we are each hiring.,Very good work flow. It is good for moving people as you progress along the hiring process.
Automatically moves disqualified candidates out of the running, which is also nice.
Great communication features and pre-made responses.,I wish that once you closed the job listing, Workable would automatically send a denial email to anyone who didn't get the position.
Wish there was as-you-go training.
When I log in, I can see my whole company's job listings. Wish it was narrowed down to just mine.,8,,Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365Amanda Ludwig
