Pros and cons
What Workable does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.
Pros
- AI Agent for massive sourcing (400M+ profiles).
- Complete ATS + onboarding + performance in one platform.
- 2–3 free AI credits per plan (sourcing, screening).
- 270+ integrations including Slack.
- 15-day full-access free trial.
Cons
- No free version long-term.
- Standard plan pricey for small teams.
- Extra AI credits are billed separately.
Workable: when it makes sense.
Workable suits active, continuous recruiting; for occasional hiring, lighter ATS options (Lever, Greenhouse) work.
Keep if
You recruit regularly (more than a few roles per year).. You want AI sourcing and automatic candidate screening.
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€149) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You recruit rarely (< 2–3 roles/year).. You need a free or ultra-cheap tool.
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
