AI Resume Screening for Workable
Workable candidates are scored against each job's criteria, so reviewers know who deserves to move to the next stage.
Workable brings candidates in from many job boards, and the pipeline fills faster than anyone can read it. This edition connects with a Workable API token, reads jobs and the candidates applying to them, and scores each one against the job's criteria. Scores and extracted details are recorded on the candidate in Workable, and your reviewer decides who moves to the next stage.
- Scores and extracted details recorded on each Workable candidate
- Two-way sync of jobs, candidates and stages
- Every stage change made by your named reviewer

What it is
AI Resume Screening for Workable connects with a Workable API token, reads jobs and the candidates applying to them, extracts the details you define and scores each candidate against the job's criteria. Results are recorded in Workable, and stage changes are made by your reviewer.
Why businesses buy it
Posting a job on Workable is easy. Reviewing everyone it brings in is not. Candidates sit in the first stage for days, hiring managers lose patience, and the best applicants accept other offers. This edition reads every candidate against the job's criteria and records a clear score and evidence on their profile, so reviewers can move the right people forward quickly. The Scope Card and documented field mapping fix what is read and updated before you buy, and stage changes always stay with a person.
Problems this solves
Candidates queue in Workable's first stage with no review
A Workable API token connects your jobs and candidates. Each new candidate is scored against the job's criteria as they apply, so the first stage does not become a backlog.
It is unclear why one Workable candidate outranks another
The details you define are extracted and recorded in Workable alongside the score. Reviewers see the basis for each ranking right on the candidate's record in Workable.
Stages get moved without a person checking the candidate
Results are recorded in Workable, but stage changes stay with your reviewer. People decide who moves forward, while the screening work arrives already done for them.
A good fit if
Your jobs run in Workable, and candidates pile up in the first stage waiting for someone to read them.
You want screening results attached to the candidate in Workable, where your team already decides stages.
Every job has criteria clear enough to score candidates the same way.
A Workable admin can create an API token and approve a written field mapping.
Not the right fit if
Your ATS is Lever. See AI Resume Screening for Lever.
You need interviews booked once candidates move stage. See AI Interview Scheduling for Workable.
You need matching candidates found and summarized, not applicants screened. See AI Candidate Sourcing.
You hire across several offices with different criteria. Add Multi-Location Setup.
How it works
- We agree the mapping with your Workable admin in writing: which job, candidate and stage fields are read and written.
- Candidates in the stages you choose are picked up and their resumes extracted, up to 25 fields per document type.
- Each candidate is scored against the job's criteria, with validation rules flagging missing must-haves.
- The score and extracted details are recorded on the candidate in Workable.
- Uncertain candidates are left for the reviewer you name, who also makes every stage change.
- Before launch, 100 sample documents are processed on test records, and you get an accuracy report.

Questions about this product
What does AI Resume Screening for Workable read and update in Workable?
Jobs, candidates and stages, through a two-way connection set out in a documented field mapping. Scores and extracted details are recorded on the candidate. Custom Workable objects outside the mapping are excluded unless you add them through a Change Quote before work starts.
Does AI Resume Screening for Workable move candidates between stages?
No, your reviewer does. Stages are part of the sync so the screen knows which candidates to read, but automated hiring decisions are excluded. Your named reviewer makes every stage change after looking at the score and extracted details in Workable.
What access does AI Resume Screening for Workable need?
A Workable API token and an admin who approves the written mapping. The token is used only for the agreed mapping. Your Workable subscription stays the same, and any license or plan upgrade Workable charges for is outside the build.
How much is AI Resume Screening for Workable?
The panel on this page lists the price for each delivery speed, and every speed delivers the same Scope Card: the Workable connection with a documented field mapping, extraction of up to 25 fields per document type, a reviewer queue and an accuracy report. Running costs of roughly $30 to $200 a month, depending on page volume, are billed to your own accounts.
Which Workable jobs can AI Resume Screening for Workable cover?
Any job included in the mapping, provided you supply its role description and criteria. Up to three document types and 25 fields per type are covered. Criteria for a newly opened job can be added within the monthly change hours of optional maintenance.
How is AI Resume Screening for Workable checked before launch?
With 100 of your sample documents processed against sandbox or test records, followed by an accuracy report. You then get two rounds of changes to criteria or fields, so screening is settled and agreed before any live Workable candidates are scored.
Who handles hiring-law duties for AI Resume Screening for Workable?
Your company does, as the employer. A person on your team makes every advance or reject decision. The AI score is stored next to it in your connected system. Duties under laws such as New York City Local Law 144 or the EU AI Act stay with you. These include bias audits, candidate notices and risk assessments. This page is not legal advice.
