Used For

• +**Sorting through 200 resumes by hand every week** → AI parses skills automatically and flags top matches in minutes
• +**Playing phone tag for 3 days to schedule one interview** → Candidates self-schedule from your calendar, interviews actually happen
• +**Losing track of where candidates are in your process** → Everyone sees the same pipeline, no more "wait, did we call Sarah back?"
• +Posts to 70+ job boards in one click - no more copy-pasting the same job description everywhere
• +Video screening calls built-in - candidates record answers, you watch when convenient

Best For

• >Your hiring spreadsheet has 47 tabs and three people editing at once
• >Scheduling interviews feels like herding cats through email chains
• >You're posting jobs to 10 different sites manually like it's 2015

Not For

• -Companies over 250 people — reporting gets too basic and you'll be manually exporting everything
• -Solo founders hiring 1-2 people per year — you're paying $2,000+ annually for overkill
• -Teams wanting deep analytics and custom reports — this ain't that sophisticated

Pairs With

• *Slack (where your team gets pinged about new applications and interview no-shows)
• *Google Workspace (syncs calendars so candidates can actually book time slots that exist)
• *Gusto (handles payroll after Workable gets people hired)
• *BambooHR (for actual employee management once people start working)
• *LinkedIn Recruiter (to source candidates that Workable's database doesn't have)
• *Zapier (connects to the 47 other tools Workable doesn't integrate with natively)

The Catch

• !Starts at $169/month but scales fast with users and active jobs - budget for 2x your initial estimate
• !Reporting is pretty basic - if your CEO wants fancy hiring dashboards, you'll be disappointed
• !The AI resume screening works well but you need to set up scorecards first or it's not very useful

Bottom Line

Turns hiring chaos into actual process, but you'll hit reporting walls faster than expected.
