Overall Satisfaction with Workable
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.
- 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.
Workable is not as robust as other applicant tracking system, but what it does, it does well. It is great for smaller businesses or those who won't be recruiting at a high level constantly. I found it very useful for the situation I was in when I had it. But my more recent recruiting position is much more complicated, and therefore requires a more complicated system.
