Workable review

Workable is a general applicant tracking system rather than a dedicated chatbot, but it now ships AI agents that cover the screening and outreach part of high-volume hiring. The Screening Agent and Engagement Agent run on AI credits, each ATS plan includes 3,000 complimentary credits, and a texting add-on lets recruiters message candidates by SMS for $89 a month. Standard costs $299 a month for companies with 1 to 20 employees and includes the sourcing suite, unlimited active jobs, a hiring plan and 9 language options; Premier is $599. Video interviews and assessments are further add-ons. The pricing is public and you can start a free trial without talking to sales, which few recruiting chatbots offer. The weakness for volume hiring is that prices scale with company headcount, and the texting and screening pieces add cost on top of the base plan, so a large hourly employer pays more here than the entry price suggests.
