Workable
An agentic recruiting and HR platform whose homepage reads "The agent recruits. You manage talent." A built-in AI agent sources candidates (the site claims 400M+ profiles), screens every applicant against up to 14 job criteria, messages them to fill gaps and returns a shortlist with reasoning. Underneath sits a full ATS, continuing into onboarding, performance, attendance and payroll. 15-day free trial.

What is Workable?
Workable describes itself as agentic software for recruiting and HR, with the line "The agent recruits. You manage talent." The reasoning: most recruiting bottlenecks are information-processing problems — sorting volume against a spec, checking basic fit, collecting missing facts, following up — and those should be done by a system while people keep the judgement.
Published figures: 400M+ profiles searched continuously, roughly 2x the response rate of standard templates, 24/7 sourcing and follow-up; on the candidate side, integrated email and SMS reach 98% response rates and replies up to 60x faster than email alone. Also 200+ job boards, 100+ countries and 270+ integrations. Free trial for 15 days, no credit card.
Who is it for?
- Lean recruiting teams facing many roles, where screening and follow-up consume the most hours
- SMEs that want AI without replacing their whole process (also the free-trial audience)
- HR teams that need recruiting, onboarding, attendance and payroll connected
- Technical teams that want the platform to act as a pure system of record driven by their own agents
