Workable

Workable is an agentic recruiting and HR platform built around an applicant tracking system (ATS) that supports the full hiring and employee lifecycle. It brings hiring pipeline management, HR operations, and digital document workflows into one system of record, so context captured during recruiting carries through after the hire.

At the center is Workable’s AI Recruiting Agent embedded directly in the ATS. The agent sources passive candidates by searching a large pool of profiles and sends each role-specific personalized outreach. It also screens every inbound applicant against up to 14 job criteria, then chats with candidates to verify interest and fill gaps before they reach your review stage. Strong fits can auto-advance, clear no’s can be routed out, and you can override the agent’s actions in seconds.

Underneath the agent is a complete ATS for managing requisitions, sourcing and pipelines, interviews, offers, analytics, and governance. The agent reads from your ATS data and operates within the platform’s guardrails, while reasoning for candidate scoring is shown so you can understand outcomes and keep control of the process.

Beyond recruiting, Workable provides onboarding, performance & engagement, employee records, and HR document/e-signature management. Workable also supports an open platform approach, letting you bring your own AI using MCP-native access and a documented REST API, with actions logged and permissions inherited from user access. You can explore the platform with a 15-day free trial (no credit card required) or request a demo.

What does Workable’s AI recruiting agent do inside the ATS?

It sources passive candidates, screens inbound applicants against up to 14 job criteria, and engages candidates directly to verify interest and fill information gaps before review.

How are candidates evaluated and can I see why someone was scored a certain way?

Each candidate is evaluated against your role specification when they apply, and the scoring includes reasoning so you can understand the outcome.

Can I control or override the AI agent’s decisions?

Yes. Strong fits can auto-advance and clear no’s can be routed out, but you can override any call in seconds and manage routing according to your process.

What ATS features come with Workable besides AI recruiting?

Workable includes requisitions and approvals, sourcing and pipelines, interview kits and scorecards, self-service interview scheduling, offer management with e-signatures, and hiring analytics with governance.

Can I use Workable with my own AI or agent workflows?
