How we evaluated Workable

This review rests on 28 facts checked against Workable’s official pricing pages and documentation, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score and the pros and cons use only those verified facts, as our methodology explains, and third-party ratings are quoted, never scored.

Our verdict

Workable fits small and mid-size employers that hire often and want job posting, screening and AI sourcing in one tool, with prices published by company size. HR is a second product with its own price, or a bundle with Recruiting. It is less suited to teams that must store HIPAA-regulated health data, which its terms do not allow, or that need single sign-on on the entry plan, since SSO comes only with Premier and Enterprise.

Strengths

  • Prices published by company size

    Workable lists monthly prices for every size band up to 801-1,000 employees, with quotes above 1,000. Standard Recruiting runs from $299 per month at 1-20 employees to $2,799 at 801-1,000, billed annually.

    Evidence: Price transparency: Published

  • Broad recruiting tools

    Jobs post to 200+ job boards at once. A no-code career site, self-service interview scheduling, offer letters with e-signatures and EEO and OFCCP reports are included.

    Evidence: Job board distribution: 200+ job boards

  • AI sourcing and screening

    Workable Agent searches 400M+ profiles and screens applicants against up to 14 job criteria, with the reasoning shown. Every paid account gets 3,000 free AI credits.

    Evidence: AI features: Workable Agent: sources passive candidates from 400M+ profiles, Screens applicants against up to 14 job criteria, Chats with candidates to fill gaps, Scored shortlists with stated reasoning, AI job description and interview question generators, AI candidate recommendations and AI-assisted screening (included with all plans), MCP server for connecting external AI agents

  • Recruiting and HR bundle

    The HR product adds employee records, onboarding, time off and time tracking. On Standard, the Recruiting + HR bundle costs $359 per month billed annually, below the $398 of buying both apart.

    Evidence: Employee records: Yes

  • Security, API and support

    Workable lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 27017, a REST API with webhooks and 270+ integrations. Email support runs 24/7.

    Evidence: SOC 2 Type II: Yes

Weaknesses

  • HR is priced separately

    The $299 Standard price covers Recruiting only. HR costs $99 per month on its own, or $359 with Recruiting as a bundle, billed annually for 1-20 employees.

    Evidence: Starting base fee: $299/mo

  • Add-ons cost extra on Standard

    On Standard, texting is $89, video interviews $109 and assessments $59 per month, and Performance & Engagement adds $39 to HR, at 1-20 employees billed annually. Add-on prices rise with company size; Premier includes them.

    Evidence: Extra costs: Texting $89/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $105 monthly), Video interviews $109/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $130 monthly), Assessments $59/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $70 monthly), Performance & Engagement $39/month (Standard HR add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $50 monthly), Add-on prices rise with company size (e.g. texting $269/month at 101-200 employees, annual billing), Salary estimator (additional cost applies, price not published), AI credits beyond the 3,000 free: $0.12/credit (5,000, $600), $0.10/credit (10,000, $1,000), $0.095/credit (50,000, $4,750); non-refundable, expire 1 year from purchase, Renewal price adjustment of up to 5% per term, plus adjustment for company size at renewal

  • Monthly billing costs more

    Standard Recruiting is $360 per month billed monthly, against $299 billed annually. Premier, at $599, and Enterprise, at $719, are annual only.

    Evidence: Contract term: Monthly

  • AI use beyond free credits

    Beyond the 3,000 free credits, AI credits cost $0.095 to $0.12 each, in packs from $600. They are non-refundable and expire one year after purchase.

    Evidence: Extra costs: Texting $89/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $105 monthly), Video interviews $109/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $130 monthly), Assessments $59/month (Standard add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $70 monthly), Performance & Engagement $39/month (Standard HR add-on, 1-20 employees, annual billing; $50 monthly), Add-on prices rise with company size (e.g. texting $269/month at 101-200 employees, annual billing), Salary estimator (additional cost applies, price not published), AI credits beyond the 3,000 free: $0.12/credit (5,000, $600), $0.10/credit (10,000, $1,000), $0.095/credit (50,000, $4,750); non-refundable, expire 1 year from purchase, Renewal price adjustment of up to 5% per term, plus adjustment for company size at renewal

  • SSO and health data limits

    Single sign-on comes only with Premier and Enterprise. Less suited to health employers: the terms bar uploading HIPAA-regulated health information.

    Evidence: Single sign-on: SAML, Okta, OneLogin, Microsoft Entra ID, Google, Centrify, Auth0, PingFederate
