Next-Gen Recruitment Platform
Pros
- One can literally hire people without even opening their laptops. The mobile apps are present across Android and iOS devices and are powerful enough to get all the work done.
- Customer support is at the next level. It's the best I have seen so far for any technical vendor.
- Help[s] us tap [into a] more diverse talent pool by optimizing our job descriptions.
Cons
- Capability to search the job descriptions, archived posts, and resumes needs to be drastically improved.
- No feature to see if the candidate has applied for other roles in the past in the organization and how [they] fared then.
- Employees should have a way to track the status of their referred candidates.
Return on Investment
- Teams other than the recruitment team are able to be a part of the hiring process leading to a better collaboration and engagement within the teams.
- Able to attract and hire the candidates who were not even looking for a job change.
- In terms of overall value generated by using Workable (including both tangible and intangible), we are definitely saving a lot of money in terms of tapping the right kind of talent pool.

Workable implements CRM tools for talent management
Pros
- The platform allows us to implement a scorecard service through which it is possible to keep track of the quality of nutrition that each prospective employee could bring to the company, so that the decision to hire any of them is as profitable as possible.
- Communication with candidates is very easy to track, so that it is possible to make sure that the results proposed by each employee in the recruitment area are totally adequate. This is useful to filter possible failures that may occur on the part of the recruitment team.
- The platform works with recruitment funnels, whose structure allows us to purify the information of real utility for the company by the employees, and where we can even add databases with the information of all prospective employees that are kept in the recruitment process.
- Using Workable in conjunction with the information provided by their online technical assistants results in a huge improvement in our labor operation, as they know the best strategies to leverage our hiring management. Workable's technical support is active most of the day.
- Using Workable was no problem for our employees in the human talent development area, mostly because they, despite not having any experience with Workable, were able to adapt to the platform with incredible speed, thanks to the ease of use of Workable and the number of tools it has right out of the box.
Cons
- Unlike many other recruitment-oriented services, Workable does not let us use internal HR tools, so our human talent management with Workable is limited to hiring only, and this makes it impossible to match candidates with regular employees within the platform.
- It has no employee portal creation function, so the information provided on our employee portal web page is usually not useful to employees, as we cannot create a second portal where we can inform them about our job bulletins.
- It does not allow you to evaluate the amount of learning that candidates have received within the service unless they expressly state so. In this sense, it would be useful if you could add a form where candidates could fill in windows with their opinion about certain points of the process.
Return on Investment
- There is a relatively large improvement in our ROI impact collected in the last few months of using Workable relative to the first few months that the platform was being used to manage the recruitment process.
- Such improvement is possibly due to the fact that the results of hiring processes from months ago are being shown directly in the job performance of new employees.
