Workable has grown well past the applicant tracker it started as — it now covers employee records, onboarding, time off and performance too. The gap is not "after the hire". It is the client.
Companies that want recruiting and core HR records in one product, with AI agents doing more of the sourcing and screening work.
Workable describes itself as Talent management platform.
Hiring, employing, billing and offboarding on one record — built for teams who place people at clients as well as hiring their own.
From first contact to final payslip.
| Workable | EasyCruiter | |
|---|---|---|
| Candidate pipeline and interviewing | Core product, with AI sourcing and screening agents. | Jobs, pipelines, a board, a searchable candidate database, AI CV screening and a careers site. |
| Employee records after hire | Covered — onboarding, employee records, time off and performance. | Covered, on the same record as the hire: contracts, documents, equipment, access, time, leave and offboarding. |
| Running payroll | Payroll reporting is listed; paying people is not. | Payroll runs and payslips on the same record, through to the final one. |
| Placing someone at a client | Not among its listed product areas. | Placements are a first-class record, with client proposals, portals and delivery tracking. |
| Client billing and commission | Not among its listed product areas. | Placement invoicing, commission calculation and gross margin per placement. |
Everything in the Workable column describes what Workable lists on its own site, checked on 30 August 2026. Products change; if you spot something out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
You hire your own staff, you want one tool for recruiting plus employee records, and you are not billing anyone for the people you hire. Workable has a larger integration catalogue and more mature AI sourcing than we do.
If you place people at clients, the thing that hurts is not the pipeline — it is everything after it. Who is on which placement, what it bills, what margin it earns, what commission it owes, and whether the client is happy enough to renew. That is the part we built.
