Workable Reviews & Product Details

I like that with Workable I can access a number of posting websites but only have to post once.

I wish that once I posted that my job would stay at the top of the search function like with a sponsored job

I am able to find good candidates for the jobs I am recruiting for. If I don't fill a job, at least I have options with good candidates I might now otherwise see.

What I really like is the interaction with other people at different departments in the company. The recruitment process is very active: you can check candidates, send notifications to other mates, wait fro their answer, start a active communication with the candidate, and integrate it with your HR tool

Maybe the price, is very expensive for the complete control

We noticed that the collaboration with different departments was very active and the filters, information and comments you can leave there... it's a very active process with all the people involved in the recruitment process.

easy to use, easy to add hiring mangers onto the platform and choose their permissions. Nice sorting functions for candidates. Curious to see what their reporting functions look like.

Hibob integration broken. AI Recruiter doesn't produce good candidates. Often JD doesn't paste well into the job posting format.

Housing our recruitment on one platform. Benefits don't see to be much different from other recruitment platforms.

The ability to see work, CV, portfolio, comments from all hiring managers, book interviews directly. Everything.

It's not the prettiest of user interfaces and the UX can be a bit challenging at times.

Hiring and centralising the entire process.

Workable has been a good and handy ATS solution for us from a scale of 50 to 1000 engineers. We have not used other products like recruitment marketing and video interviews. + complete feature set + easy to use core functionality + good price for small companies + API for custom use-cases

- counter-intuitive enterprise reporting (generating informative reports is hard for a company of +1000 people, depends on how you use the tool) - non-customizable job description pages - a bit expensive for large companies

We are using Workable as our ATS solution for a large IT company. We publish job positions, manage hiring process and communiccation with candidates. Intuitive and handy Applicant Tracking process inside the product has played a key role reducing hiring cost in our company.

I find the commenting feature to be perfect for a remote team trying to interview and hire for new candidates. I also love how organized all of the candidates are in on place.

I wish the functions of disqualifying candidates were more clear and when candidates were disqualified they dropped out of the pipeline. I also wish there were ways to ensure no bias when interviewing candidates.

We are trying to solve for hiring around the world for various roles remotely. I have realized that hiring can be done entirely remote without ever having to touch base in person.

The system is relatively easy to use, there's logic to the steps and the stages. Calendar invite/email features work well. Ease of shifting candidates from stages or to other Reqs is relatively easy as well.

There are a few "little" things that would ne nice to haves be able to change. I'd like to be able to update calendar/call templates, or be able to attach a document to a Requisition, not just a candidate. Would also be nice to edit system settings so that evaluations don't also require a comment in order to be saved. There are a few things like that that would be "nice" simple additions that would make my rating a 10.

Keeping track of candidates and requisitions has been good, also getting buy in from hiring managers to get into the system to support their hiring processes has been easier with the system than with systems i've used in the past.

I like how organized everything is on the site. I have my jobs open with the candidates in clearly indicated on the website, don't need to go searching too hard to find whatI need.

It doesn't integrate the best with my google calendar and other apps such as zoom

Its easier to keep track of communication with candidates all in one place, Workable. I can keep a clear chronological order of candidates path down the interview process.

I like the fact that it's very easy to use and straight forward

The fact that candidates in different postings don't communicate with each other, it's hard to keep track

It's easy to disqualify candidates without having to speak with them (questions while applying)

The ease of sending emails and managing candidates in bulk. I also appreciate the ability I have to customize listings.

The search feature and navigation can be a bit confusing.

It helps me easily create postings, manage candidates, and keep communication centrally located. The workflow with fellow employees helps to ensure we move candidates smoothly through the process.

Workable is sweet from your point of view of having the ability to maneuver candidates by means of a approach, from first screening by means of mobile phone display screen to onsite interviews, and many others. Reward would be the capacity to e mail talk to them immediately in the merchandise, also to be capable to converse with colleagues about candidates and possess all of that captured and simply reviewed.

The merchandise is missing some type of prospect position program, a method to match candidates inside of a selected section or phase in opposition to each and every other.

It really is wildly effortless to collaborate on candidates and speedily shift by way of the choosing approach.

The program is incredibly user-friendly and easy to use. I prefer the project listing and authorization procedure that enables me personally to create and edit my employment listing. I can ask other people in my corporation to collaborate on selection through applicants and I also now have a very apparent view of the development that we are making upon completing a job.

I have already been utilizing the system from the last few months and I haven't discovered something that I dislike.

We were using e-mail to track the actual development and provide suggestions upon applicants. This has assist speed up our hiring process. It's much easier to comply with

The ease of creating new jobs & customization available, the programs that you're able to link to.

Nothing comes to mind, we've had only good experiences.

Workable has been the answer to our recruiting needs, we do all of our hiring in house & Workable helps us do so.

As a sales leader, if we are going to add "yet another tool" for us to use, it needs to be simple and intuitive. I can honestly say that set up was legitimately less than an hour and has provided me much needed visibility into my candidate pipeline.

I honestly can say the only downside is that I wasn't aware of the mobile app sooner. I saw tremendous efficiencies and I wasn't taking advantage of the mobile capabilities. The downside was my user error....

It has created much needed efficiencies across the team. As a rapidly growing software company, we need to be able to quickly see feedback, comments and concerns from all those involved in the hiring process. Workable has allowed me to streamline my process and and me valuable time throughout the day.

That our entire team can make and share notes.

Not a thing that I can think of. So far so good.

Systemizing the interview process.

Templates for bulk messaging, comments (for colleagues to collaborate for a specific candidate's journey through our funnel), and visibility across

Have to rely on my memory to know which candidates have been "Disqualified" vs. "Disqualified AND have been informed" etc.

HRIS to easily make progress to hire the RIGHT candidate

Clear route from creating the posts to hiring the employee

Reporting features seem limited and difficult to drill down the recruiter looking after role

recruitment tracking, able to pull more stats in one view

Simple, easy candidate experience in applying. Integration with HRIS, video interviews, testing. Workable seems to be constantly improving and adding features. Workable also listens to us as customers for new features and desires for product improvement. Several things we have requested have come to fruition over the last few years. Workable seems to be constantly reviewing the market and competitors to see what features are most useful and needed from customers. Our account managers have always been responsive to us and open, and willing to share feedback with the product team and set up collaborations. The self-schedule feature for interviews and phone screens is a HUGE time saver for our hiring managers and our recruiters. Many applicant tracking systems don't have that feature integrated directly into the system like Workable does. We have considered switching applicant tracking systems in the past but the self-schedule feature is a big deal for us and has contributed to us staying with Workable for the past 5 years. We have grown with Workable over the years and are excited for the features to come.

Workable lacks OFCCP compliance in resume searches, could have more robust report features. Custom reports are only available by add-on and take several days to a week or more to create. The canned reports are useful but don't cover all aspects of reporting that we require monthly, quarterly, or annually. Workable could be more robust in its account types and ability to customize certain permissions. Some of the job features aren't applicable to us and can't be manipulated to our use. We have let our account managers know about these features and some issues have been solved in the past but others still remain to date. We do believe that Workable has an interest to improve these things and anticipate integrations over the next few quarters.

Candidate experience is seamless and simple. Working on other integration features, have recently integrated candidate texting. Have tested Workable integrations with testing features. Benefits of collaborative and open staff/account managers.

When choosing what ATS to use we tried over 6 different high end ATS. At the end it was between Lever and Workable. We went with workable since it better fit where we are as a company - experiencing high growth, volume recruitment and many new managers. We wanted a tool that accommodated our needs: - Easy to use tool - Great referral platform - Easy to read and extract data - Best customer support / CSM. Furthermore, they are a constantly evolving tool with a very user centric focus. The product team listens and takes input from their customers and they are continuously releasing new features.

- They can definitely improve the CV screening feature. When having 100+ applicants you want a tool where you with as few clicks as possible can get an overview of the CV and application. This is not the case. You have to scroll down to see the CV, the application letter is in a "text format" and not able to upload in the same way as the CV. The screening questions are at the bottom of the page as well. - They don't have the option to schedule email send outs. - Extra admin work when scheduling a Teams meeting since they don't have a integration to Microsoft Teams. From what I know at least 2 of the three points are under development to be improved and implemented!

Easy to get the managers up an running with the tool. Referrals(which are a big source of candidates for us) have increased massively. Increase of applicants since adverts are published on several local sites.

As a HR personnel who looks after the full recruitment cycle for a small company, Workable helps me save tremendously and in a very professional manner: - Sync with my company email (we use Google suite - so it's really convenient); I'm not sure for the case of private company email domains, but I do see Workable updating its integration list from time to time - Pushing job postings and then collating all applications/ emails from 10 free websites in one place, by posting. Before I had this, we manually tracked candidates pipeline by creating shared Excel files, and constantly update status after replying candidates' emails. You can imagine the pain if you have 10 open positions at different stages, with different assessment process, and that you need to coordinate with different managers - you can handle a few but definitely it won't be scalable. Thanks to Workable, I am able to manage both recruitment and other HR functions. - Candidate management - by matching email addresses, the platform is also able to let me know if certain candidates have applied in the past, and with a click I can the applicant's past application, including communication trail. In such cases, it gave me a side story about the candidate that doesn't appear on resume - Super helpful! - Resume parsing - there's no guarantee it's 100% accurate, but it's pretty good so far. My previous manual Excel file system requires tons of manual data entry from candidates' resume, which feels like a waste of time many times - They also have candidate suggestion function, where they suggest profiles that they have based on your posting. Our package has limited slots yearly so I use it when it's hard to find candidates for some niche position. I wouldn't say it's the best platform to look for such candidates - as this is definitely not Workable's strength, but it does come handy.

Of course there are glitches here and there, but I would say they are performance issues and won't say there's anything I dislike about it as a platform. One thing that irks me though: They rolled out a video interview function (which I thought was a great idea) a few months back and they offered a 3-month trial for current customers (hooray). However, when I tried it out, there was a bug and the customer support agent came in saying they're working on a resolution. More than 3 months past and I have not heard back from them since. Still not sure if it's working now, and without saying I never got to try the video interview during I do think they need to manage their support function better to tie up loose ends and not leave customers hanging.
