Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We 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.

Pros and Cons

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.

Alternatives Considered

I don't know what else we would use really. For me personally, it's better than Google Sheets! This is a company-wide software, so this is what I was given to use for our hiring process. This is where we post all of our job listings, and what I have to learn to use.

Other Software Used

Google Drive, Microsoft Office 365

Likelihood to Recommend

Workable is great for hiring interns, as I use it. We don't have a huge flow of traffic coming through applying, but enough that the organizational level is highly appreciated. I also really like the automatic "disqualified" feature since this position needs to receive college credit and a lot of people who apply won't be receiving it. I have never used it with a higher trafficked position, but I can imagine that people would get lost in the submission process with how it is set up.
