WorkableReviews of workable.com

I find that the tool lacks user-friendliness and colour compared to tools such as Teamtailor. I regret that we do not have the option of using the tool in French. Finally, it is a shame that we can comment on the candidate for the position in question but not on the candidate in general, so that we can retrieve this information when the profile is reworked for another application. Finally, when we have to create a search, create the job and the hiring plan at the same time, it is a bit restrictive. Checkboxes to indicate what should be published or not would be easier. Thank you for taking my comments into consideration.

We've been with Workable for 9 months so far. We like them they have a lot of pros but at the same time I think there are areas that could improve and make a huge difference. Pros: - We love having everything related to the candidate in one place. And being able to have the entire hiring team able to collaborate in one space is excellent - Easy to navitage for hiring managers - My favorite feature is the ability to email candidates directly from the software. It's a great way to keep yourself organized especially when you are emailing a dozen candidates. - Easy integration - Great quality of mobile app - many of our hiring managers are on the go and find this very useful - Customer service is top notch, quick and very helpful. Cons or Suggestions: - More automations: So far we've been looking at some others ATS in the market which can offer to add automations to the stages, not just emails but interviews invites, to dos, send surveys, etc. - Scorecards: This is one of the key non-biased scoring system and yet in Workable is very basic and can't be customised. We are potentially thinking of moving to Pinpoint as they offer scorecards based on interview sections and highly customisable with numbers, faces and colours making it much more visual and more robust in terms of assessing a candidate at any stage. This is a big thing as hiring managers are finding the scoring/interview quite basic and not describing the full picture. This could be a deal breaker for us as we are reaching a year and considering other choices in the market. - You can't compare profiles side by side or scorecards. - Talent Pool: it's a bit basic and lacking structure. - Job adverts: We are a international company and after covid turned into remote work. We find we want to have many job adverts across many cities but you need to dupicate adverts. Other ATS are currently offering typing remote and multiple cities or countries in one job adverts and this is very appealing. - Make some features from the application form answers only visible to Admins and/or hiring managers. - Dashboard: It would be nice when connecting to have an overview of your open jobs, incoming interviews (calendar), new applications, some generic pipeline metrics shown.

Struggling with job adverts - the fact you can have the same person apply to the same role is silly (upload themselves and they are able to upload through another source even once they are rejected and they then appear in your list a 2nd time) The copy joblink is a lot harder to copy now, when posting a job online It would be good if you could drag a job board application straight on to Workable direct from email instead of dragging on the desktop and then on to Workable The fact the source is not automatically updated is ridiculous and the worst part about workable. If we get 100 applicants from JobServe we have to singly go in and edit every candidate, so time consuming.

very USA orientated :(- wording and options available when advertising etc... Not user friendly when inviting recruiters to jobs..can only invite one at a time!!?! also be good to have step by step guides for hiring managers and recruiters that really spells out exactly what they should do as I have to keep taking them through how to upload a candidate etc

Initial integration of workable was difficult and slightly fraught. Once it was in place we had to get to know the application. It does what it needs to...but the UI needs a complete overhaul. It's not intuitive and not user friendly. A more tab driven layout would help. The software itself is buggy and does some very random things from time to time. Yes we can manage our hiring via the tool, but it has a long way to go to warrant a 5 star rating.

some usability issues (for me) but the team seems to really like it.
