Well, Workable is a great tool for recruiters, the easy UI, and features are makes it a great tool. Also, the integrations with job portals makes it easier for us to post our new job roles to most of the portals in just a few clicks. The best part is that we can change how we look for specific candidates with our unique requirements to match what we need. And we also have options to automatically post our new roles to social media easily.
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.
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.
Pros
Fast & seamless publishing to job boards
Ease of feedback entry and collaboration with hiring team
Ease of management across multiple open reqs
Cons
Reporting of metrics / data visualization is not as intuitive as it could be
Job archive is not easily searchable
Diversity targeting & tracking

Workable suits our mid-size company well, whether we are in a slow hiring (eg 5-10 open reqs at a given time) or fast hiring (eg 20-30 open reqs at a given time) mode. It may work less well for companies dealing with much higher volumes, or for companies who are intaking candidates from multiple sources (eg agencies, etc), because Workable has a limited number of integrations so the upload of profiles is often manual. Overall, it is easy to understand and use, so team members and new Hiring Managers can get up to speed very quickly and with minimal training by HR.
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.
Pros
Easy applications for candidates
Easy to move candidates through the pipeline
Organizes comments well
Cons
Would like to see more default reports on dashboard

Workable has worked really well for our hiring and interview needs. It's helped us organize and streamline the hiring process. It ensures we don't lose any candidates in the pipeline and helps us respond appropriately to all.
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.
Pros
Track the hiring process
Provide templates for every step, help us be more professional
Increase exposure of job post on relevant job boards
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
All in all, Workable is an easy to use system, gives good answers to our needs, [and] provided even more than we needed as a small company (candidates evaluation tools, employees referral, annual planning). For me it was good and easy and I will be glad to work with Workable again. I didn't use reports too much so I can't tell how good it is. I'm sure that for bigger companies it will be a helpful tool.

Workable is great at creating job posts and posting them to multiple job boards with a single click and also running paid campaigns on social media platforms to reach passive candidates as well. Workable has a friendly UI and has a very gentle learning curve. It is more appropriate for larger organizations where you need to hire thousands of people a year and need to always have a pipeline of great talent.
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. <span style="font-size: 15px;">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.</span>
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
For the definition of objectives with respect to the number of certain types of employees to be recruited for the company, whether they have talents that are useful in a specific area, or whether they are completely new to the world of work and you are looking for employees with no experience. It is useful in the evaluation of skills of any kind that employees may possess, since, depending on the type of work, some employees need to have more developed skills than the rest in terms of technical knowledge, as in the case of automotive repair companies or manual work in general. The most useful scenario to develop the full potential of Workable is where more control of career planning operations is required, as the service presents us with many easy to customize models depending on the type of career you want to work with (by applicants).
Workable is an awesome piece of software that keeps our hiring process simplified and allows us to put more time to other efforts. We are always very busy and anything that can streamline the HR process while helping us get quality candidates is awesome.

Great if your hiring and training process is lengthy and you have a lot of candidates. If this is not the case, you may not need Workable.
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.
Pros

Monitor pipeline.

Cons

Customization.
Key words.
