Workable Reviews & Product Details

It's integration with so many of the hiring platforms makes it very easy to get a job posted widely across the hiring universe. The workflows and templates make it much quicker to move applicants through the customizable stages. The built-in asynchronous interview video questions/responses are great for remote hiring to get a feel for someone's energy/tone/presence that words on a screen cannot. The zapier integration also is nice to kick off automations at every stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a small-ish to small-medium company, it's priced a bit high. They recently removed their "starter" plan so the price of entry is double of what it used to be. Probably not a problem for bigger companies, but it will make it a tougher sell for smaller companies that are not constantly hiring at least 5 positions simultaneously. We're right on the edge so for us it's a bit steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Workable's open API, which is a standout feature for me. It allows us to have as many API integrations as we need and makes the system very user-friendly and flexible, letting us integrate new systems and pull data without dealing with long timelines or expensive costs. I also appreciate the straightforward pricing structure of the platform, which adds to its appeal. Additionally, I love the ability to publish job ads independently of our internal requisition process, which gives us more autonomy and efficiency in our hiring process.

There are some system limitations in being able to fine-tune notifications, give appropriate access permissions to certain aspects of the system to different user groups, and we wish there were ways to build triggering events for internal communications vs. only triggering events for external communications with candidates.

I like how intuitive it is and very easy to understand. i think it is also very customisable for some aspects which is great for a hr- such as being able to set up all completely unique work schedules and profile settings. I also really like the onboarding workflow and find it very easy to follow along with. I haven't really used the AI/intelligence features that much but i do like the ai customer service support as it is very helpful for getting quick answers to questions. for integration of other apps it has worked really well to integrate google but i don't think it has integrated zinc as well as possible. I am not sure of the pricing of the platform so do not feel like i can comment on it. I think it has a very strong performance it seems to handle everything well so far but we are still a relatively small company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are some limitations that are not the best i think the off boarding could be impoved with automated emails and similar workflows. I think the permission levels could be improved as it does not allow line manager to only see their team as an admin they get to see everyones information which is not ideal. The other thing as when you assign line manager it would be good if their line managers manager can also act as their manager with approving stuff etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how clean and easy the system is to navigate from a user standpoint. It's very click-friendly and makes it simple to go from the front end to the back end of the system. Making changes is pretty easy. I also like the texting feature that comes within the scheduling system, as texting is the easiest way to contact new candidates because it goes directly to their phone, which is crucial for our process since we handle a high rate of candidates and conduct numerous interviews.

I mentioned that the automations were good, but they also have some serious flaws. The automations currently do not attach to reasons, but they attach to stages. So it seems like the system is a little bit of a half baked system to where you can do some things, but not all things. I would prefer a system that is completely customizable in every fashion. It took a couple of weeks, and learning the system was a bit of a challenge, but over time and repetition, it became a bit easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Workable's navigation fairly simple and easy, which makes using it a breeze. The automation processes are pretty straightforward, giving us the opportunity to make everything a standard practice across different managers, hiring managers, and recruiters. It helps make our processes seamless. It cuts out unnecessary repeat work and makes it easier to find candidates, significantly reducing the time spent between coordinating calls and people across various departments. The initial setup was very easy, and with the help of the implementation team, we quickly got the hang of it without any real hiccups. I also appreciate that the features are very handy and accessible, and I think they could apply to almost any company in any industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A couple of things that might help us is the ability to kinda toggle on and off some of the different automations that are set for some of our pipelines. There's a few automated messages that we send that we would like to change from time to time. You have to change them in every single pipeline all at once instead of being able to do them in individual ones. For example, our sales rep positions, we have, like, four or five of them that are open at a time. Automation is going to be the same between all of them. Where we would like to be able to have a little bit more individuality between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Workable's AI function, which allows me to perform People searches on current or past candidates. It's great that the system finds their current social media platforms and lets me engage with them. It's also amazing how I can use an old resume and see how candidates have progressed over the years. Plus, it's a fantastic way to find new candidates who might not be actively applying but have the right credentials and are working in relevant industries. I also appreciate that you can start using Workable in just a few hours, and even though the managers needed a few days to get comfortable with the functionality, they were up and running in no time.

For most small and medium-sized businesses, Workable has become quite expensive. The only other item that could be interesting is allowing for unlimited People searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the easy filtering in Workable, which really helps in narrowing down candidates efficiently. I appreciate the clean UI/UX and the good API capabilities that allow us to import sourced clients smoothly. Workable also lets us recruit a lot faster, which is essential for a fast-moving company like ours, and we can build highly specific tooling around Workable that fits our ATS needs. The initial setup was pretty easy, making the transition seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the AI sourcing feature could be a lot better. More candidates in that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On the positive side, Workable has a very clean interface, good job posting distribution, and good candidate tracking capabilities. If you're running a structured HR operation with consistent hiring pipelines, it can absolutely deliver value. The reporting and workflow features are also helpful if you have dedicated HR staff.

However, for a small caregiving agency, the reality is very different. Hiring is constant, urgent, and often high-volume—but not complex. We don’t need layered workflows or advanced automation as much as we need speed, affordability, and ease of use for day-to-day recruiting. In that context, Workable starts to feel heavy and overpriced for what it delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Workable for its clean interface that's easy to navigate and makes it easier to find and access the functionalities I need. The initial onboarding took a couple of weeks, but the implementation team was really helpful and supportive in all the steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While in the initial onboarding phase, we faced a couple of bugs like not being able to remove the sample data, but these were minor and support team was helpful enough to resolve these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Workable as an ATS and recruitment platform, and I really like its AI features that can score candidates automatically. This feature saves a lot of time, which is a valuable resource for us recruiters. I also appreciate the pricing and the easy setup of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recruitment takes longer than necessary, especially when evaluating candidates for entry-level roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
