Workable Review (2024): Pricing, Plans And Features

With Workable, you can create an entire Careers page from scratch within minutes and post your open positions to more than 200 job boards globally. This gives you access to a large number of potential job candidates but the software only comes with 15 free job boards. The rest of the candidates come with a paid version or are included via an add-on.

The software integrates with most major third parties that are typically a part of the hiring process, such as Gmail, Outlook, Zoom and more. Since the emails are sent automatically, the security and sustainability of your domain are important. The software automates compliance for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and more.

Workable also gives you the tools necessary to manage a self-guided onboarding process and deliver offer letters directly to your candidates. The software can collect e-signatures and maneuver all of your onboarding steps and documents automatically without having to get a member of your team involved until the end.

Workable doesn’t have a flexible payment option, like many of its competitors. The entry plan requires you to pay per month for every job you open up, which can get expensive. Many of its competitors pay per employee you move through the software as you end up paying for other software products such as the employee self-service for payroll and benefits.

Workable also has some limitations compared to the competition. For example, both the search function to find candidates and the overall onboarding process are limited by the software. It would be nice to be able to make these processes a bit more customizable and for the search function to be a bit more dynamic to find the skills you need more easily.

Rippling doesn’t offer direct pricing for every customer. Instead, you have to get a quote and potentially sit through a demo. Rippling is more affordable for its ATS compared to its other solutions. Workable as an ATS-only solution is a bit expensive for the lack of features you’re getting.

The one thing that Workable has over both Freshteam and Rippling is its ability to deliver your jobs to so many different job boards. To get any significant traffic to your jobs from the other two options on the list, you would have to get a third-party integration. Workable, however, delivers to more than 200 job boards worldwide to help you find the right fit for your business.

Workable is an interesting solution that is limited and can be expensive. It’s generally best for businesses that are small or medium-sized (SMBs) and are looking for an ATS that can scale with them. However, it should be noted that Workable is only an ATS and isn’t a full HRIS (human resources information system) that you can get from some of its competitors. If you’re looking for just the ATS, then Workable is comparable to others with its array of candidate screening tools and assessments available and at the ready.
