WorkableReviews of workable.com

The biggest mistake I made was choosing Workable as my company's ATS. Perhaps for small businesses/ start-ups of 30 or less people it's good but for a medium - large sized company it's useless. Reviews by tech leaders are factually incorrect so don't believe what you read. It's sold its customisable but in terms of truly customisable ATS systems I've worked with previously Workable IS NOT CUSTOMISABLE: you can add additional fields but cant change the fields that exist. As for approval chains forget it - if you have more than one approval pathway in a department Workable cannot be customised in this way. The Sales guys are straight up dishonest... whatever you do question everything they say. For a medium or large company I wouldn't touch Workable.

I've used workable in two different companies and the overall experience has led me to recommend it to my current company as well. I strongly supported the features and I felt that the product takes away the friction from hiring. Since we wanted to open up several positions, we contacted workable for a price quote. Unfortunately, we've been met with a very different sales model that the one I was used to. I felt that the new sales model was based on a top-down pricing instead of a bottoms-up pricing. Of course, it's entirely up to workable to change their sales model as they see fit. It is their right. At that time their pricing page quoted a $99 per job per month price which oddly was very different to the model we were introduced to - and was also cheaper than the custom quote we received. When we inquired about that, we were told that this would change very soon and we had only until tomorrow if we wanted to go and grab that price. Well, the pricing page still shows $99 per job per month until the time of writing of this review and it's been weeks since we were told that it was going to change "tomorrow". I feel that it is not a good practice to try to create a sense of urgency while saying something that turns out to be false. That left me with a very bitter taste and despite the fact that I was one to highly recommend workable to my new company, I was also one to retract my recommendation. We tried another ATS and we went with that.

This product simply does not work as promised. "free" postings do not post and tech support is a joke. I purchased Workable in mid Sept '17 and it worked the first 4-5 weeks and has not worked properly since. NO ONE seems to be able to resolve this issue and I have been in touch with someone daily. I am losing my "ash" daily!

Says upfront post to 15+ FREE job sites, no credit card required. LIES!!! They get you to go through the entire process and there is NO way to post a job for free or without entering in credit card info. Don't waste your time.

Took 8 days to answer a question, agreed with me all they way, until they eventually said, no I can't do that, I asked for refund and they made some really rubbish excuse.... that i should know that was not possible, strange seeing that they didn't know themselves

Job not approved, terrible reasoning for rejection. This site is great if you have hours to waste and nothing to do, not great if you've got better things to do than email back and forth, setting up profiles and so on and so forth. Biggest waste of time ever.

I am a professional recruitment firm startup. I tried to begin my free trial with Workable to see if they would become my primary ATS/job posting board. I was brushed off by them and rejected an account since my company does not have a website. I tried to inquire further other ways to verify my business, even emailed the CEO about my situation. But the CEO deferred my message to another employee that told me I didnt want to "waste my time" posting jobs on their site. Very poor customer service. Do not recommend.

Applications for Jobs were poor quality. Many of them are not interested, don't attend interview. Many candidates are not looking for the kinda role they applied for, which makes you think that their site doesnt work too well.
