Workable Reviews & Product Details

I absolutely love that Workable is incredibly easy to use and navigate, even for those who are new to recruiting systems. The recruitment pipelines streamline our processes, offering clear visibility and effective team collaboration. I'm also impressed with the automation features, especially the AI tools that help pre-screen CVs, making our recruitment much more efficient. The LinkedIn integration is a major time-saver, automatically posting job ads and attracting quality applicants effortlessly. Additionally, I deeply appreciate the responsive and helpful technical support, which enhances our overall user experience. Workable continuously shows a strong willingness to improve by adding valuable features and hosting online events to share knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the complex permission settings during initial setup challenging, requiring careful configuration to ensure proper privacy and permissions. In the beginning, there were internal issues due to unfamiliarity with the system's permission settings. Additionally, I dislike not receiving notifications or emails when an employee submits a referral, which necessitates separate emails and becomes time-consuming. This lack of automation and record-keeping can disrupt workflow efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Workable makes the applicant processing stages straightforward and intuitive, especially with its integration with basic job boards. I also find it valuable that Workable serves as our central system for receiving applicants from different job boards, simplifying the process greatly. The ability to efficiently move applicants between stages and recognize duplicate profiles is particularly useful. Additionally, I'm drawn to its cost-effectiveness compared to other ATS systems.

I find the reporting feature on Workable to be quite inaccurate, especially for older jobs that are unpublished or archived. The filtering process within the reporting feature is inefficient and not very effective, often requiring a lot of manual work to generate accurate reports. This is a significant area that needs improvement for me to be more satisfied with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that workable puts all of the candidates in one area, and allows me to look through all of them. I also love that they give me a percentage score for each candidate, which shows me how well they would fit the job description, bases off of their resumes. That is a huge help for us. I also like the fact that I can filter through possible candidates and say yes or no, and it filters out the ones I have said no to. It is extremely user friendly! My company uses this program every time we need to hire a new candidate, and find it is very easy to integrate it into our hiring systems. If we ever have a problem, customer service is extremely prompt and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I have noticed is that workable is a bit slow, sometimes I find myself getting emails that candidates have applied for a position, but when I go to check, they aren't there. If I check back in about an hour, they appear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Workable for a long time now. I have used the basic version of it, and used it after their AI updates. I have seen it go from a basic version to a really good version as the frequency of usage was on daily basis as Im handling recruitment.

The usage is really easy, maybe for me since I have been using it for a while now but when I have to show others around it is really user-friendly and easy for others to understand and follow the steps. It is how Workable as a platform works.

I got to work around every part of it, handling all the automations and integrations like moving employees to BambooHR, Gmail, and Slack integration made it really easy for reporting and post-recruitment tasks as well.

Integrations and automations were very easy to set up and the ease of implementation without really needing any assistance was really good.

We never really need customer support for anything but when I had to reach out to fix a few automation or integration issues, it was really quick and with constant feedback which is something I really appreciate.

I would love to see what new features come up that would make our lives in recruitment easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were a few things that made it a little tricky to set up but with the new AI features. But since I was really into exploring features, I never faced issues.

Something that I would like to point out is the lot of features offered at the recruiter's end of the job such as disqualification and moving candidates to the next stages had a lot of features. If it could be made it more simpler, lesser options or simplified options would make it better. It is not something I dislike but it is something that would need some thought and simplification if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Workable incredibly user-friendly and scalable, making it suitable for a growing company. Its automation and AI integration streamline the recruitment process. The reporting system is efficient, saving me time, and the setup process was seamless with helpful resources. The ability to handle confidential job postings, upload applicants, and customize reminders greatly enhances my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could schedule rejection letters outside of the automated ones, if I cancel the automated one, and send one out, it goes out right away and I wish I could still schedule it. The talent pool feature is a little limiting I wish I could drop applicants in that I like as a quick reference when filling a job to reach back to out to. So I created my own talent pool as a job and used a step for each department job and move them there and its working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having used Workday extensively, I was initially hesitant to switch to Workable, as I was very satisfied with the previous software. However, I must admit that Workable has been a pleasant surprise.

The implementation team provided exceptional support through timely meetings and clear emails with detailed guidance. What I appreciate most is the high degree of customization—a feature not available in Workday. The ability to create tailored interview kits, design scorecards for multiple interview stages, and assign specific roles to members of the hiring team is particularly valuable.

Key Changes

Improved Flow: The first two sentences were combined for a smoother introduction.

Stronger Vocabulary: Phrases like "had some doubts" were changed to "hesitant," and "incredibly present" was updated to "exceptional support" for a more professional tone.

Enhanced Clarity: The comparison to Workday is now integrated more directly into the sentence, making the point stronger.

Formal Structure: The list of examples at the end was rewritten into a complete sentence, avoiding the informal "etc." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regarding the job layout, I found the candidate pipeline view could be enhanced. In my previous experience, a funnel view that visually displays the number of candidates at each stage of the hiring process was very effective.

Additionally, I suggest making the roles for each position more prominent. Having a clearly defined section on every job page that identifies the Recruiter, Hiring Lead, and all members of the hiring team would improve clarity and workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Workable interface display, very beautifully done.

- Sourcing channels connected to the recruitment function is very good but can be improved to reach wider nationalities (US, Eastern Europe and North Asia). Having said that and after utilizing several platforms for recruitment including recruitment agencies, workable recruitment is still my number one option for sourcing our employees

- Intergration is very smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- I don't dislike this tool but the AI function is not accurate and needs improvements.

- The report function is a very good idea but does not really produce accurate reports and does not have the ability to produce specific reports which we are looking for related to accurate dates, number of interviews, number of hires, and time spent in each funnel.

- Would love to see an HR services function added to the platform.

- Customer support is improving but would be nice to get quicker responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m a huge fan — Workable is super easy to set up and use. It enables our small team to manage many hiring processes semi-automatically, which saves us a lot of time. Setting it up took just a couple of hours, and I can fully recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation is that scheduling links can’t be changed afterwards. It would also be great to have a feature to rank or rate candidates (e.g., with stars) in the applied stage. That said, these are minor issues compared to the overall value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, in the past it was relatively affordable, and useful, dispite the AI feature not being really useful for applicants qualification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They claim you can post jobs on LinkedIn if you upgrade, but once you pay, you discover that it’s not true you end up paying for a full month of a service you can’t use. Their support has been completely unhelpful. They refused a refund within 24 hours, even though they were the ones who told me to upgrade in order to access LinkedIn posting.

To make things worse, they also charge VAT even though, under the EU reverse-charge mechanism, they should not. Overall, a very disappointing and misleading experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've worked with several Applicant Tracking Systems over the years, but this one is by far the best I've ever used. Here's why:

Ease of Use: The interface is clean, intuitive, and user-friendly—even for first-time users. Everything is where it should be, making the entire hiring process feel effortless.

Ease of Implementation: Getting started was surprisingly smooth. The onboarding and setup were straightforward, and we were up and running in no time.

Customer Support: Exceptional. The support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with any questions or concerns.

Frequency of Use: I use it daily, and it consistently performs without a hitch. It’s become an essential part of our workflow.

Number of Features: It has everything we need—robust candidate tracking, automation, reporting, collaboration tools, and more. It covers all bases without being overwhelming.

Ease of Integration: Integrating it with our existing systems (email, calendars, HR tools) was seamless. It works well with everything we use, which saves us a lot of time and hassle.

Overall, this ATS has significantly improved our recruitment process. Highly recommend it to any team looking for a reliable, efficient, and feature-rich solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

none for now as it is a really good system and remote friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
