VerifiedHR & People · www.workable.com
Overview
Workable is a cloud-based applicant tracking system (ATS) and recruiting platform that has expanded into HR, offering sourcing, one-click job board distribution, candidate tracking, AI-assisted screening, and collaborative hiring. Beyond recruiting, its HR suite adds employee onboarding, an HRIS, time-off management, e-signatures, and payroll preparation. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, it serves small and mid-sized businesses through enterprise. Pricing scales by company employee headcount rather than recruiter seats, and the platform is delivered entirely as SaaS.
The problem Workable solves
Growing companies struggle to run recruiting and early HR across disconnected tools while keeping hiring teams aligned. Workable centralizes sourcing, applicant tracking, collaborative evaluation, and onboarding in one platform with wide job-board reach. The tradeoff is headcount-based pricing that can feel steep for small teams and reporting that some find limited.
