Workable review

Workable has the broadest feature set in this list, and its Standard plan bundles recruiting with an HR system. For a company with 1 to 20 employees, that plan is $299 a month, or $3,588 a year, and includes a candidate sourcing suite, applicant tracking with unlimited active jobs, a hiring plan, custom reports, and HR tools for onboarding, time off, time tracking, e-signatures and payroll preparation. Every ATS plan comes with 3,000 AI credits for its recruiting agents. For a business that hires only a few people a year, the price is the obstacle: it is several times what JazzHR or Manatal charge, and texting at $89, video interviews at $109 and assessments at $59 a month are extra on Standard. It makes more sense if you would otherwise buy a separate HR system, since the bundle replaces two tools. Premier at $599 includes those add-ons.
