What Workable does
Workable is an applicant tracking system with a built-in AI agent that takes on the repetitive, information-heavy parts of recruiting. The agent searches a database of over 400 million profiles to find and message passive candidates, evaluates every inbound applicant against up to 14 job criteria, and builds a shortlist with its reasoning visible. Your team reviews the shortlist and makes the final calls — the agent handles the volume work that precedes those decisions.
Beyond recruiting, Workable covers the HR lifecycle after the hire: onboarding workflows, employee records, time off, performance reviews, and document management all sit on the same platform. Because the data collected during hiring carries through to HR operations, you are not re-entering information as someone moves from candidate to employee. The platform also posts to over 200 job boards in more than 100 countries with a single action.
For teams that already run their own AI solutions, Workable exposes an MCP interface and a REST API, so external agents or models can read and write the platform using the same permissions as a human user. Integrations include LinkedIn, Indeed, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Slack, and the vendor lists over 270 total integrations.
Key capabilities
AI sourcing and outreach
The AI agent continuously searches 400 million-plus candidate profiles and sends personalised messages to strong fits before they apply. This runs across every open role, not just high-priority ones.
Automated applicant screening
Every inbound application is scored against up to 14 job criteria, with the agent's reasoning shown. The agent can also message candidates directly to verify interest or fill in missing information.
Job board distribution
One action posts a role to over 200 job boards across more than 100 countries, including LinkedIn and Indeed, where Workable holds Preferred Partner and Platinum Partner status respectively.
Post-hire HR operations
Onboarding portals, employee self-service, performance reviews, time-off tracking, and document management with e-signatures are built into the same system used for hiring.
Open API and MCP access
Teams can connect their own AI agents or models to Workable via MCP or REST API, letting external solutions operate the platform within the same permission and audit framework.
Compliance and security controls
The platform holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and SOC 3 certifications and includes automated policy toggles for GDPR, EEO, and CCPA with full audit trails.
Best for
- Small to mid-sized businesses that hire regularly and want to reduce manual screening and candidate-chasing work
- HR teams that need both an ATS and basic HR operations covered without running two separate systems
- Companies posting to multiple job boards who want to manage that process from one place
- Teams that want AI-assisted recruiting but need to stay in control of guidelines, data, and final decisions
- Organizations already using LinkedIn, Indeed, Slack, or video-conferencing solutions that want those connected to their hiring workflow
Worth knowing
- The Standard plan starts at $299 per month for up to 20 employees; add-ons for texting ($89/mo), video ($109/mo), assessments ($59/mo), and performance ($39/mo) can raise the monthly cost meaningfully before you reach Premier ($599/mo) or Enterprise ($719/mo) tiers
- Implementation is estimated at two to four weeks, so teams needing to hire immediately should plan ahead or use the 15-day free trial to run in parallel with their current process
- AI features consume credits priced at $0.095–$0.12 per credit; all paid plans include 3,000 free credits, but high-volume sourcing or screening will draw down those credits and add to cost
- The platform is broad — recruiting plus HR operations — so teams that only need a lightweight ATS or already have a strong HRIS may be paying for capabilities they will not use
- If your AI strategy requires a specific model or agentic framework, verify that Workable's MCP and API coverage meets your technical requirements before committing; the open architecture is an advantage, but it does require developer time to configure
