Workable Reviews & Product Details

I love how I can organize and automate all hiring and interview steps in one platform, from job posts to interview scorecards to simply staying organized, and even onboarding. Talk about a game-changer! And yes, it was easy to implement as we didn't need to change our process; we just needed a tool to make it easier. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that you can't customize your page within Workable. Yes, it does have some customization capabilities, but it does come with roadblocks. Luckily, I was able to get my internal team to help create a careers page and embed the Workable job posts. However, this is a challenge for those who don't have the capacity or knowledge to do it. Yes, Workable offers a team to help, but that is at an extra charge. This can be an inequitable disadvantage for small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Workable for a couple of years now and within the last year with more consistency. There are 2 qualities I value a lot in workable: their AI powered features that allows me to add knockout questions and then have all applicants automatically matched to the role, which saves a ton of time in pre-screening. The other feature is its ability to integrate with our internal systems which doesn't require me to log into the system for every single update I need so the ease of use is great.

I think their reporting features still have some work to do. It is great for most business. Our business though has layers of complexity that make it difficult to get the types of reports we need from most systems. Despite this, we're still happy with all else Workable does.

Workable is super intuitive and easy to use. As someone who is a "visual learner" I find the layout in the Jobs dashboard to be very easy to follow and understand. Integrations with our HRIS system and Outlook Calendar are an added bonus for us. Being able to customize offer letters and put them through here instead of Word docs has also been a game changer for efficiency in our team. This is an everyday use program for me as I lead TA at our company. I couldn't trade it for the world! I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Workable could go farther with their feature development for automations. The templates / auto-emails work well and are easy to set-up but I wish they could be further customized with "if/then" logic for more personalized, specific triggering. This would be a noteworthy enhancement to an already gorgeous product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workable has brought structure and efficiency to our hiring process at ITK. It helps us spend less time managing applications while attracting a higher volume of quality candidates. The platform is intuitive, collaborative, and has made it easy to maintain a consistent process across all roles and hiring managers. The built-in templates and customizable workflows are especially valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During active hiring campaigns, the volume of email notifications can be high, especially for team members involved in multiple roles. That said, notification preferences can be easily adjusted in the settings to reduce noise Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clean, intuitive UI: Easy for recruiters and hiring managers to navigate without extensive training.

Collaborative workflows: The ability to tag team members, assign roles, and communicate within the platform streamlines decision-making.

Structured pipeline tracking: The visual layout of candidate stages gives clear visibility into bottlenecks and hiring velocity.

Integrated job posting: With one click, roles are posted to multiple job boards, saving time and effort.

Interview kits & scorecards: Keeps interviewers aligned and enables objective candidate evaluation.

Candidate experience tools: Customizable email templates and branding features make outreach and scheduling feel personal and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited customization of reports unless using premium tiers or integrating with external BI tools.

Some automation gaps: Features like automated nudges for pending approvals or overdue tasks could be improved.

Filtering and advanced search in the candidate pool could be more dynamic, especially for large-scale hiring.

Mobile app limitations: Great for quick views, but not ideal for deeper task execution like interview scheduling or workflow edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very user friendly. Easy to navigate and when we onboard a new team member, very easy to train. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that stands out to me and on top of my mind, I really wish we could have customizable subject lines to each template. I love that we can create many templates to our profile, but if there was a function to also have a customizable subject line to each template, that would be amazing!

Ex:

1st template for Recruiter Screen - Subject Line " Museum of Ice Cream | Interview Request"

2nd template for Peer Screen - Subject Line " Next Steps for Museum of Ice Cream!"

I have to keep a list with subject lines to each template , that I cop and paste . IF we could get subject lines to be custom to our templates, would be amazing!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workable makes the recruitment process simple, fast, and collaborative. I particularly appreciate how intuitive the platform is — from posting jobs and reviewing candidates to communicating with hiring managers, everything is streamlined in one place. The automation features save valuable time, and the reporting tools help us track progress and improve our hiring strategy. It’s a reliable and user-friendly solution that genuinely supports our day-to-day recruitment work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Workable is overall a strong platform, there are a few areas that could be improved. For example, the reporting and analytics section could offer more customisation and flexibility to suit different business needs. Additionally, sometimes notifications can be a bit overwhelming or repetitive, especially when collaborating across multiple roles. Nonetheless, these are small issues in an otherwise very helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More robust system for active sourcing

Employee Referral Program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not very intuitive for teams that only speak Portuguese.

Customer support is more aligned with international time zones.

The platform does not allow the creation of confidential job openings or postings restricted to a specific region, institution, or target audience. For instance, it is not possible to generate an exclusive link for a specific school or partner to submit candidates without the job being publicly visible on the careers site.

Lack of advanced filtering within job openings: The platform could benefit from more specific filters within each job posting. Currently, it is not possible to search by keyword or specific term exclusively within the candidate pool of a single job, which makes screening more time-consuming in high-volume processes.

**Workable’s interface is highly user-friendly, making navigation simple and intuitive for all users.

**Interview scheduling is seamless, with one-click functionality that streamlines coordination.

**Integration with assessment partners significantly boosts efficiency — assessments can be shared directly through the platform, and the corresponding scores and reports are easily accessible within Workable.

**The AI-powered candidate screening feature helps surface top applicants quickly by intelligently shortlisting profiles.

**AI-driven job description creation further simplifies the process by generating role-specific content, saving time and ensuring consistency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

**Reporting capabilities could be enhanced, especially with the integration of AI, to provide actionable insights and help improve overall hiring process efficiency.

**The system lacks the flexibility to create and configure custom assessments, which would be valuable for tailoring evaluations to specific role requirements.

**In today’s candidate-centric market, candidate experience is crucial. However, the platform only allows a single communication touchpoint with applicants. Automated follow-up or reminder functionality is currently missing, which limits our ability to keep candidates engaged throughout the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the Head of the HR function for Bioiatriki Healthcare Group, I have to highlight that transitioning to Workable has significantly streamlined our recruitment process.

The user friendly interface, automated actions, standardized workflows per role interview and job ad templates, and powerful search capabilities integrating AI tools have saved countless hours in screening and scheduling. Furthermore, Workable’s integration with job boards ensures a seamless candidate experience, allowing us to build pipelines of top candidates from diverse talent pools, while the built-in analytics and reports provide valuable insights into our hiring process. I would also like to note that the “hiring plan” add on has significantly streamlined and automated our requisition approval workflows allowing both HR and Functional Heads to participate in the process.

From compliance tracking to collaborative hiring, Workable has proven to be an indispensable tool in helping us attract and retain top talent.

Highly recommended for any HR team looking to modernize their hiring process and remain up to date with current and future trends! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can hardly think of an area for improvement as Workable has successfully answered to our needs and wants in relation to the recruitment process. The one thing that comes to mind is the candidate survey capability (measure applicant experience) that can be further improved down the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
