Workable is now the world's most popular recruiting automation platform for SMBs — more
than 20,000 companies have used Workable to source and evaluate 50 million job candidates in 100 countries around the world. Workable was founded in 2012, and has raised a total of $84M.
Several million SMBs do 70% of the hiring in the world. The old tech stack of separate point solutions for sourcing, evaluation and workflow isn’t serving them well. Workable packs everything a modern recruiting operation needs into a single tool: recruitment marketing, passive candidate sourcing, interview scheduling, candidate assessment and workflow automation.
Workable has developed AI technology that draws upon hundreds of millions of human decisions to recommend candidate matches and programmatically advertise to individual candidates alongside a network of 180 partners including LinkedIn, Indeed, Facebook, and Google. It is now rolling out new technology to automate the screening and evaluation process, such as candidate self-scheduling,
resume enrichment, machine-powered screening and more than 30 integrated evaluation and video interviewing tools.
