What are AI credits and how am I charged for the Agent?

AI credits are the currency for the Workable Agent's actions. You pay only for what it does: 1 credit per candidate evaluation, 2 credits for sourcing a passive candidate, and 10 credits for a chat interaction. Every paid plan starts with 3,000 free credits; additional bundles are available for purchase.

Can I use my own AI models with Workable?

Yes. Workable is an open platform designed to fit your AI strategy. It features an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets you point models like Claude or ChatGPT at it with the same permissions as a human user. You can also build custom workflows using the full REST API and webhooks.

What HR features are included after the hiring process?

Beyond recruiting, Workable includes a full HRIS. This covers automated onboarding, a self-service employee portal, time off and attendance management, performance reviews and engagement surveys, a centralized document hub with e-signatures, and payroll preparation.

How does the platform ensure security and data privacy?

Workable is built with enterprise-grade security, holding ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and SOC 3 certifications. It includes built-in tools for GDPR, CCPA, and EEO/OFCCP compliance, with audit trails tracking all data changes. Your data remains yours, and the AI agent operates within your configured security and access model.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes, Workable offers a 15-day free trial that gives you full access to the Standard plan's feature set, excluding Workable Agent credits. No credit card is required to start the trial.

What is the biggest issue facing HR and Talent Acquisition leaders today? Leigh Elena Henderson argues that one of the biggest challenges isn’t new at all: trust. HR and TA professionals are expected to deliver results, provide expertise, and support the business — yet many leaders still struggle to give them the respect, resources, autonomy, and support they need to do their jobs effectively. From recruiting to employee support, Henderson discusses the resistance HR and TA professionals face from their own organizations and how that can contribute to burnout and frustration across the field.
