I have utilized Workable now at two different employers and both times have been a fantastic experience. From the initial sales outreach to implementation to training my hiring managers on the system, everything is seamless and exciting. Workable is user friendly, for both candidates and managers, modern and easy to navigate. I also love the built in careers page that Workable offers and we have been able to cut down on job postings for various boards because we see more traffic coming through our careers page!

That it doesn't have a built in background check system - but no other ATS really offers that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workable is easy to use and intuitive for both recruiters and hiring managers. The interface is clean, and implementation across the team was smooth. As a Data Scientist in a recruitment company, I use Workable daily for administrative tasks and data extraction. The built-in features for tracking candidate pipelines, managing job postings, and reviewing applications are very helpful. I especially appreciate the availability of a public API, which allows us to automate reporting, analyze performance, and integrate recruitment data into our internal dashboards, and the costumer support is great.

The main issue I’ve experienced is with data extraction. While there is an export function in the interface, it’s quite slow when dealing with larger datasets. To overcome this, we use Python to extract data via the API, but even then the process takes time due to rate limits and the structure of the endpoints. Also, some useful fields require multiple API calls, which slows down integration. Improving the performance and flexibility of data exports would make a big difference for data teams.

From posting jobs across multiple boards with a single click to evaluating candidates collaboratively using scorecards and structured interviews, everything is centralized and easy to manage. I particularly appreciate the customizable workflows and automated communication tools, which help save time and improve candidate experience. It strikes the right balance between powerful functionality and user-friendly design, making it ideal for both recruiters and hiring managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i still can't see workable helping us a lot in the screening process. we want a more powerful tool to help us more in the screening process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Workable is great. It's easy to use, personal, intuitive and allows us the benefit of an off the shelf product (in terms of customer support, account manager and pricing) but with all the benefits of a customisable, bespoke system. We use it for all our vacancies (and therefore use it quite a lot at the moment) and we really like it. We also really value our regular upskilling sessions with our account manager so that we're getting the most out of it, and that we know how to use all the features well.

There are some parts of workable that I find tricky to use - for example some of the menu headings aren't the most intuitive to understand what is in that heading which leads to multiple clicks and searching to find the right thing. This is a minor complaint however!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Workable as our global Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and it's been a game-changer in managing our end-to-end recruitment process. From job posting to candidate evaluation, the platform is intuitive, scalable, and highly collaborative.

What we appreciate:

✅ Clean and easy-to-use interface – Simple for recruiters and hiring managers to navigate

✅ Streamlined collaboration – Hiring teams can review resumes, provide feedback, and move candidates through defined pipelines with full visibility

✅ Centralized tracking – All candidate activity, notes, and communications are stored in one place

✅ Auto-join feature – Seamless access for internal users via company email domains

✅ Analytics – Useful reporting on source performance, pipeline stages.

✅ Customer Support - The customer support is responsive and helpful, ensuring quick resolution of queries. The AI-powered Help Center is especially impressive — it's intuitive, self-serve, and makes it easy to find answers without waiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candidate onboarding – This is currently managed outside of Workable, so additional tools or processes are required post-offer acceptance

Limited native integrations – Certain third-party tools require manual handling or custom integration for assessments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intuitive - it only take a couple of minutes to teach new managers how to use and what they should be doing.

Everything is easy to find and is where it should be thanks to the tabs.

Any issues, the support is great and they do try to accommodate things that suit your business.

Integrates well with other apps and software.

As a recruiter, has all the features I would like such as keywords, multiple locations, job categorisation, reasons for disqualifying and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed. There are certain screens where it respond noticably more slowly. It seems like it takes up a lot of RAM on the computer, though some of my colleagues don't report this issue so may be my computer but it doesn't do this with other sites/tabs. When typing, it almost freezes and takes a long time for the information to appear and so to limit mistakes, it is best to type on Notepad and then copy and paste it in later.

The way you can search within the platform, not just by roles, time frame, candidate name as well as the easiness to interact with candidate directly from the platform while your co-recuiters can see all past interaction records. This ensures seamlessness. Intergration with our email system (gmail professional) is also very smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

none, they have made continued improvement since the last 3-5 years and we are really satisfied with the current functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workable is very user friendly and intuitive. It is a great collaborative space for our recruiting team to thoroughly vet each candidate that applies. In particular I like the project management like stages that you can physically move candidates through, and all evaluations are tied to those stages. My division uses this tool almost daily, and it is simple to add new users and get them up to speed quickly. Another strength is its integration with MS Outlook making scheduling and email communication seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I do like that the reporting functions are there and are improving over time, the definitions of some of the metrics need some work. For example, time to fill and time to hire have some grayness that would benefit from clearer definitions and visibility into how they are calculated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked most about Workable is how easy and efficient it makes the entire hiring process. The interface is incredibly intuitive, which made it simple to post jobs, track applicants, and collaborate with hiring managers. I especially appreciated the automation features—like email templates and interview scheduling—which saved us a lot of time. It truly felt like everything we needed was in one place, and it helped keep our team aligned and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked least about Workable was the limited customization in some of the reporting features. While the built-in reports are helpful, it would be great to have more flexibility in tailoring them to our specific metrics or exporting data in more detailed formats. Additionally, some integrations required a bit of extra configuration to work smoothly. That said, these were relatively minor issues in an otherwise excellent platform.
