"Workable Streamlines Hiring with Organized, Easy Collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about Workable?

What I like most about Workable is how organized it makes the hiring process. Everything—from candidate applications to interview feedback—is managed in one place, which makes it much easier to track progress and stay on top of recruitment activities.

I also appreciate how simple it is for recruiters and hiring managers to collaborate. Sharing feedback, reviewing candidates, and moving applicants through the different stages feels smooth and efficient. Overall, it streamlines hiring and saves a lot of time by keeping the entire recruitment process clearly structured and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workable?

There isn’t much to dislike, since the platform supports recruitment processes really well. If I had to highlight one area for improvement, it would be adding a bit more flexibility for customizing workflows and reports so they can better align with different hiring practices.

A few of the more advanced features can also take some time to fully explore when you’re just getting started. That said, these are fairly minor points and they don’t detract from the platform’s overall ease of use or its effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice solution with to quickly post a job across dozens of platforms at once"
4/5
What do you like best about Workable?

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.

What do you dislike about Workable?

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.

"Streamlined Job Posting with Workable"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workable?

I appreciate Workable's ability to post job openings simultaneously across multiple platforms from a single place, which saves a lot of time compared to managing each job board separately. I find the template feature really helpful because it saves us from filling out the same information manually every time. We can also duplicate previous job postings directly, so we don't have to rewrite the job description from scratch each time we hire for the same role. These features streamline our job posting process significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workable?

One thing that could be improved is duplicate candidate alerts. It would be helpful to get notified when a candidate has already been contacted by another team member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Recent upgrades actually reduce what was previously available."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Workable?

Very customizable platform, and excellent reporting ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workable?

Unfortunately, the AI screening and job description update have been removed, and there is an expectation to pay for this as part of their AI agent, meaning we now no longer have the tools which we specifically paid for, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible Integration, Minor Limitations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workable?

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.

"Intuitive, Customisable HR Platform with Smooth Onboarding and Helpful AI Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Workable?

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.

What do you dislike about Workable?

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.

"User-Friendly but Needs Better Automation"
3/5
What do you like best about Workable?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workable?

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.

"Effortless Hiring, Needs Automation Tweaks"
4/5
What do you like best about Workable?

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.

What do you dislike about Workable?

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.
