About Workable

Workable’s recruiting software has helped more than 27,000 companies find, evaluate and hire over one million candidates. Building insights gathered from every hire back into its ATS, companies using Workable move from the requisition to offer stage faster.

Empowering customers—from fast-growth start-ups to global organizations—to hire the best, Workable’s hiring software finds more candidates than anyone else. It supports one-click job board advertising across all the best jobs boards, over 1,000 SEO-optimized job descriptions, and mobile-friendly career pages. With automated candidate sourcing technology built-in, it finds qualified passive candidates at scale too. Powered by AI and machine learning, Workable searches over 400 million online profiles, scans them to recommend best fit candidates and then targets those candidates on social media using automated, personalized outreach.

Workable’s talent acquisition software brings in-house recruiters and hiring teams together so teams can progress with pace to evaluate candidates as soon as they’ve found them. Trackable communication, real-time calendar sync and a top-rated mobile app streamline the process. While interview kits and scorecards make decision-making fairer and more accurate. Using bulk emails and templates, and by empowering candidates to schedule their own interviews at a time that suits, it’s easy to keep candidates informed and engaged. Once the perfect candidate’s been found, automated offer letters make it easy to move fast and make it official. And, after they’re hired, Workable’s applicant tracking system provides recruiting reports to review process and plan future strategy.

    It is helping me to download resumes, track applications, shortlist candidates, and tag the interviewer with my comments.

    Pros

    Tracking any candidate with an email ID and showing how many times the candidate applied for multiple positions. and it's very simple and easy to track and update feedback.

    Cons

    Nothing as such but searching with name is a bit confusing as we get the various result which is not relevant.

    Response from Workable Software

    Appreciate the invaluable feedback, Neelam. Always working to better search results - will look to make search by name as tight as possible. Thanks for being a Workable customer!

    What is really nice about Workable is that everyone on the team can see each other's comments and updates in real time. The calendaring feature that allows us to invite the candidate and have it show up on our outlook calendar is fabulous and makes our lives so much easier. Workable also sends emails with upcoming trainings which we find helpful.

    Pros

    What I like most about Workable is that it is intuitive and easy to use. We do very little training when we add employees to use the system. I also like how the system saves what I've been working on and can return to my notes without having to start over from the beginning.

    Cons

    Right now, there is nothing that I would complain about or change with Workable.

    Alternatives Considered

    iCIMS Talent Cloud

    Reasons for Choosing Workable

    Our contract was up with our former company and no one on our team was around when we first started the contract so we decided it would be a good time to investigate all options and see what was out there. After seeing what other companies had to offer, we went back to our former company to see if they could do some training with us to see if there were features we weren't using that would enhance our experience. They were very unhelpful with this. Another reason we made the decision to change is because of cost.

    Switched From

    iCIMS Talent Cloud

    Reasons for Switching to Workable

    We looked at several options but had it narrowed down to 2. The other option was much more expensive and we couldn't justify requesting the expense.

    Response from Workable Software

    Thanks for your feedback! We're glad getting people to adopt the system has been easy, and when your team needs additional training that we meet your needs.

    Solid tool if you have a fairly simple process; still allows for customization, which is great.
    Hilariously/infuriatingly rude sales process. No desire to fix issues, just to trap you in contracts.

    Pros

    Workable has a simple, clean layout that was easy to customize and train my team on. It did exactly what we needed it to do and allows for a good deal of customization for our somewhat-unique hiring process.

    Cons

    The sales team are vultures. We planned to renew our contract after one year, and confirmed so via *email*. After some discussion, we realized we were probably overpaying; we included People Search in our initial contract (which is terrible and doesn't work reliably at all). We asked our sales rep, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], if we could remove that from our invoice, and were told we already had "a grandfathered deal" and should be glad we weren't paying more. The tone was downright rude.

    Because we don't need anything too complicated, we decided to move to another ATS with a slightly lower cost. When Workable sent us the invoice to renew, we notified them that we would not be doing so- 2 weeks before contract expiration. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] *so rudely* replied that my verbal acknowledgement a month before was binding, and that we were stuck with another year. Obviously, we're fighting that, but it's really shocking that Workable is more interested in roping customers into contracts than understanding why they want to leave in the first place.

    Response from Workable Software

    We're so sorry that you did not have a good experience with the Workable product and our Sales Team. Customer success is very important to us. As your Account Manager is in contact with you currently, we will also make sure to further understand everything in this review during our conversation.

    It enabled us to conduct a more thorough evaluation of our candidates. We were quickly and easily onboarded by the Workable team, who also got us up and running.

    Pros

    The collaborative options are limitless, and the UI is simple to use. It offers all the information necessary, to begin with, reporting and visualizations, and understanding the fundamentals of the hiring strategy and recruiting metrics. Additionally, it offers incredible interfaces with LinkedIn, job boards, mobile apps, and many others.

    Cons

    I wish Zoom or other virtual conferencing services were compatible with the platform for scheduling interviews. Emails from your inbox do not automatically sync or appear right away on Workable. Once a candidate receives an offer letter, the workable's functionality is finished.

    It allows me to save time on HR-related tasks. A single click could retrieve very specific reports. It eliminates the need for manual work, really a time savior.

    Pros

    The plugin that allows us to connect it to our social network account is really cool. I've always loved how simple it is to interact with vendors and link them with teams. I also like the email alerts that notify me when someone evaluates a candidate.

    Cons

    It does not allow to modify the questions once candidates started applying. We can not include more than one location in a job posting. While sending rejections, we can not distinguish between those that have been sent and those that have not.
