Likelihood to Recommend

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 provides good value for cost - and gets the job done!
