Depends. Buy it if you're actively hiring and want an ATS plus core HR (onboarding, performance, records) in one platform — the sweet spot is 10–500 hires a year. Skip it if you're a tiny team that just needs PTO tracking and a staff list; that's a spreadsheet or BambooHR job.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 10 public sources: two official pages, one customer testimonial, four third-party reviews, one comparison, and one news item. No aggregate G2 rating or published tier pricing found for Workable.
