12 Tools That Integrate with Workable: Categories & Marketplace

Workable runs one of the more established marketplaces in recruiting software, and the popular integrations list reflects that. Browse the categories and you'll find assessment providers, job boards, background check services, payroll connectors, and SSO tools. All of it builds around the same candidate and employee records inside your account.

That list doesn't tell you what changes once you actually connect it to Workable. This guide picks the top 2 tools in 6 popular categories and gets into the real mechanics behind each one. You'll see what data moves, what event in Workable starts the sync, and the actual setup steps.

Overview: 12 Tools That Integrate with Workable

AI Screening and Assessments

Workable comes with its own AI Screening Assistant, but most teams still prefer a specialist for deeper candidate evaluations. The two tools listed below address the top needs of recruiters. One scores who is worth considering. The other checks what candidates can really do.

1. Skima AI

Skima AI's integration with Workable screens, verifies and scores every application and internal profile against the job description. It writes a 0 to 100 match score straight onto the candidate record, with reason bullets that explain the fit. Further, its skills detection flags CVs with false skills, AI-generated content and keyword stuffing. That way, the ranked list is built on verified data.

A "Skima Screened" tag is applied automatically, so recruiters can filter a crowded pipeline in seconds. The integration also opens a shortlist feedback loop. A recruiter shares a secure link with no login required. The hiring manager approves, skips, or marks a candidate as "maybe" with an optional note.

That feedback writes back into the candidate's Workable timeline for a full audit trail. Past applicants get rescored too, which means qualified candidates from old requisitions resurface instead of staying forgotten.

What syncs: Candidate, application, stage, and job data pulled from Workable. Match score, reasons, the Skima Screened tag, shortlist link, and manager feedback write back as custom attributes and timeline comments.

How it triggers: A candidate is created or updated. An application moves to a new stage, or a resume attachment gets added.

How It Connects

1. Generate a Workable API token with Super Admin access, scoped to r_candidates, r_jobs, w_candidates, and w_comments
2. Create custom attributes for Match Score, Reasons, and Shortlist Link, or let Skima AI provision them automatically
3. Enable webhooks for candidate_created, candidate_updated, and candidate_moved events
4. Test on 2 to 3 requisitions: upload a resume, confirm the score and reasons appear, then submit hiring manager feedback
5. Go live on a handful of pilot roles and review the weekly ROI reports

2. Codility

Codility was Workable's first integration built specifically to test the coding skills of technical candidates. The setup still works the same way years later. Once your Codility account is linked, you can attach a coding test to any stage in a job's Workflow tab. Sending that test to a candidate takes one click.

The candidate completes the test on Codility's own platform. The report updates automatically on their Workable profile once it's done. You'll need to configure the actual test content inside Codility first. Workable only handles the invitation and the result, not the test itself.

What syncs: Assessment invitations sent from Workable. Completed test scores and reports write back to the candidate profile.

How it triggers: A candidate moving to the assessment stage set up in a job's Workflow tab.

How It Connects

1. Generate an API key from your Codility account
2. Paste the key into Workable's Settings, under Integrations, in the Assessment providers section
3. Open the Workflow tab on a job and add a Codility test at the right stage
4. Move a candidate to that stage and send the test with one click
5. Check the candidate's profile once results are back, since the report updates there automatically

Job Boards and Sourcing

Workable holds Platinum Partner status with both Indeed and LinkedIn. That puts it in a small group of applicant tracking systems with the deepest integration access on each platform. The two connections below are where that status actually shows up.

3. LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect

Recruiter System Connect lets Workable and LinkedIn Recruiter talk to each other directly. Once it's set up, any InMail conversation with a candidate shows up inside Workable. The candidate's application status and comments in Workable show up back inside LinkedIn Recruiter too.

Only full Recruiter accounts, meaning Recruiter Professional Services or Recruiter Corporate, support this connection. A Recruiter Lite seat doesn't qualify. Each recruiter on your team connects their own personal LinkedIn account separately, even after the organization-wide setup is complete.

What syncs: Candidate application status and comments moving into LinkedIn Recruiter. InMail activity and past applicant status move into Workable.

How it triggers: A recruiter viewing a candidate in LinkedIn Recruiter. Or a candidate accepting an InMail and agreeing to share their data.

How It Connects

1. Confirm your organization holds a full LinkedIn Recruiter seat, not Recruiter Lite
2. Sign in to LinkedIn Recruiter's Product Settings and open the ATS integration tab
3. Enable Recruiter System Connect and select Workable as the connected ATS
4. Turn on ATS Enabled Reporting if you want full-funnel hiring data inside LinkedIn
5. Each recruiter connects their personal account under Workable's Settings, Integrations, Apps menu

4. Indeed

Workable holds Platinum Tier status with Indeed, a distinction shared with a small group of applicant tracking systems. Job postings, screener questions, EEO data, and workflow stages sync automatically once the connection is active. Applications submitted through Indeed Apply route directly into your Workable pipeline.

Candidates get an optimized, mobile-friendly application experience through Indeed Apply. This cuts down on drop-off compared to sending them to an external careers page. Sponsored posts and campaign management can also be handled from Workable directly. Budget and performance tracking stay in one place.

What syncs: Job postings, screener questions, EEO data, and workflow stages moving to Indeed. Candidate applications sync back into Workable.

How it triggers: Publishing or updating a job in Workable, or a candidate applying through Indeed Apply.

How It Connects

1. Locate Indeed under Job Board integrations in Workable's Settings
2. Enter the company email address associated with your Indeed account and confirm
3. Complete sign-in with your Indeed credentials when redirected
4. Enable Indeed Apply Sync so applications route directly into your Workable pipeline
5. Publish a test job and confirm screener questions and EEO data sync correctly

Onboarding and E-Signatures

The transition from an accepted offer to day one often requires teams to copy and paste data manually. Both tools below close that gap, one on the signature side and one on the HRIS side.

5. Dropbox Sign

Workable's native e-signature integration runs through Dropbox Sign, formerly known as HelloSign. Offer and simple document templates get built inside Workable, with fill-in variables for details like compensation and start date. The candidate signs through a link, and no separate login is required.

Two template types exist. "Simple" documents can go out at any pipeline stage. "Offer" documents are tied specifically to the Offer stage and add extra tracking and internal approval steps. Once the candidate signs, the completed PDF attaches automatically to their profile. It gets emailed to them as well.

What syncs: Offer and e-signature templates, fill-in variables, and completed signed PDFs stored on the candidate's profile.

How it triggers: Sending an offer or e-signature template from a candidate's Offer tab.

How It Connects

1. Go to Settings, then Templates, in Workable and build a simple or offer document
2. Add fill-in variables for the details that change per candidate
3. Keep the HelloSign link placeholder in the email so the signing link populates correctly
4. Send the document from a candidate's Offer tab once they reach that stage
5. Review the signed PDF that attaches automatically to the profile once the candidate completes it

6. BambooHR

BambooHR exports a candidate's information the moment they're marked Hired. It creates a new employee record with their name, email, and phone already filled in. Start date, resume, offer letter, and job title come over too. Teams can choose auto-export, which sends the data the instant a candidate reaches Hired. Or they can choose manual export, which adds a Push to BambooHR button to the profile instead.

Fields need to match exactly between the two systems for the export to map correctly. Companies with tiered or custom department structures in BambooHR usually clean those up first. That avoids mismatched records once the first export goes out.

What syncs: Name, email, phone, start date, resume, signed offer letter, and job title moving from Workable to BambooHR.

How it triggers: A candidate moving to the Hired stage in Workable.

How It Connects

1. Sign in to Workable as a Super Admin and go to Settings, Integrations, Apps
2. Enter your BambooHR subdomain, found in your BambooHR account URL
3. Choose auto-export or manual export for hired candidates
4. Confirm which Workable fields map to their matching BambooHR fields
5. Move a test candidate to Hired and check that the record appears correctly in BambooHR

Background Checks & Compliance

Both tools below plug into the same spot in the pipeline, a candidate's Offer or Hired stage. They take different approaches to setup and global coverage.

7. Checkr

Checkr adds a background check button directly to a candidate's toolbar once the integration is active. Recruiters select a package and place the order. Results post back to the candidate's timeline, usually within about 24 hours depending on the check type and location.

New Checkr customers get a free account created as part of the setup. The initial credentialing review from Checkr's team typically takes 1 to 2 business days to clear.

What syncs: Background check orders and package selections sent to Checkr. Completed results and report links write back to the candidate's timeline.

How it triggers: A candidate reaching the Offer or Hired stage in Workable.

How It Connects

1. Locate Checkr under Background Check integrations in Workable's Settings
2. Select Connect to Checkr and sign up or sign in with an existing account
3. Complete Checkr's credentialing review, which typically clears in 1 to 2 business days
4. Select a background check package from the magnifying glass icon on a candidate's toolbar
5. Review completed results, which post to the candidate's timeline automatically

8. Certn

Certn takes a lighter setup path than most background check providers on this list. Instead of an OAuth flow, the connection works off a single API key. That key gets generated inside your Certn account and pasted into Workable. Coverage spans criminal, credit, and employment checks across more than 200 countries and territories.

Once a check completes, Workable's candidate timeline updates with a notification. It includes a link to the full report inside Certn, where recruiters can review the detailed breakdown.

What syncs: Background check orders sent to Certn. Completed results and a link to the full report write back to the candidate's timeline.

How it triggers: A recruiter manually starting a check from a candidate's profile.

How It Connects

1. Contact Certn support to request an API key for your Workable integration
2. Sign in to Workable as a Super Admin and go to Integrations, Apps
3. Paste the Certn API key into the integration field and save
4. Select a background check package from the candidate's profile
5. Review the completed result and the link to the full report on the candidate's timeline

Payroll and Performance Management

Workable's own HR suite now includes a built-in performance review module. As a result, most third-party activity in this category focuses on payroll instead of a separate reviews platform. Both tools below move new hire data out of Workable and into a payroll system without a manual re-entry step.

9. ADP Workforce Now

The Workable Connector for ADP Workforce Now is purchased through the ADP Marketplace. It exports a hired candidate's details into ADP as an in-progress hire the moment they reach that stage. Auto-mapped fields cover details like legal address, compensation type, regular pay rate, and pay frequency. That way, payroll setup doesn't start from a blank record.

A later update added employee record and time-off data syncing on top of the original hire export. Ongoing changes flow through as well, not just the initial hire event.

What syncs: New hire and employee data move from Workable to ADP Workforce Now. That includes compensation type, pay rate, pay frequency, and time-off data.

How it triggers: A candidate moving to the Hired stage in Workable.

How It Connects

1. Purchase the Workable Connector for ADP Workforce Now from the ADP Marketplace
2. Sign in to Workable as a Super Admin and go to Integrations, Apps
3. Authorize the connection using the same email address on both platforms
4. Map compensation, address, and time-off fields between the two systems
5. Move a test candidate to Hired and confirm the record appears correctly in ADP

10. Deel

Deel's connection with Workable is built for teams hiring across borders. When a candidate moves to Hired, their details export into Deel. A recruiter then reviews the new hire and creates a compliant contract there. That could be a full-time employee, an EOR arrangement, or a contractor agreement, in any of Deel's 150-plus supported countries.

Deel supports Core HR, PEO, and Global Payroll setups through the same connection. The specific contract fields available depend on which of those you're using.

What syncs: Candidate information exporting into Deel to create a contract, covering the worker's details and working relationship type.

How it triggers: A candidate moving to the Hired stage in Workable.

How It Connects

1. Sign in to Deel and go to More, Apps, then search for Workable
2. Click Connect Workable and paste in your Workable subdomain
3. Click Allow Access to authorize the connection
4. Open the "New hires from Workable" banner and click Review & Onboard for each hire
5. Select the working relationship and complete the worker's contract details

SSO Analytics

These two tools solve different problems, but both sit outside Workable's core hiring workflow. Both also touch nearly every user on the account. One controls how people log in. The other tracks what happens once candidates land on your careers page.

11. Okta

Workable's SSO connection works through SAML 2.0. Unlike most integrations on this list, it isn't a self-serve toggle. Workable's Support team enables it manually on your account, after your IT team supplies the right values from Okta.

Once SAML is active, every user signs in exclusively through Okta. Workable doesn't keep a backup username and password login active alongside it. The switch affects the entire account at once, not individual users.

What syncs: User authentication for every login, plus new user account creation if Just In Time provisioning is enabled.

How it triggers: A user attempting to log in to Workable through the Okta-configured SAML connection.

How It Connects

1. Contact Workable Support and request that SAML 2.0 be enabled for your account
2. Generate the SSO URL and certificate from the Okta Admin dashboard
3. Send those values to Workable Support to complete the setup
4. Assign the correct users or groups to the Workable application inside Okta
5. Confirm sign-in works through Okta before removing any other login method your team relies on

12. Google Analytics

Workable's Google Analytics integration lives inside the careers page site builder. It connects to a GA4 property rather than the older Universal Analytics setup. Once linked, you get standard visitor metrics like device type, country, and time on page. You also get the ability to build custom events on top.

Setting up an application_success event lets you track completed applications as a GA4 conversion. That's useful for comparing careers page performance against paid sourcing channels. Note that this only tracks applications submitted through Workable's own application pages. It won't catch ones that arrive through a partner flow like LinkedIn's Easy Apply.

What syncs: Careers page visitor activity, application funnel events, and conversion data moving from Workable into a connected GA4 property.

How it triggers: A visitor loading or interacting with the Workable-hosted careers page.

How It Connects

1. Go to Careers Page settings in Workable and locate the Google Analytics field
2. Enter your GA4 measurement ID
3. Allow up to 24 hours for tracking data to start appearing
4. Create a custom event in GA4 named application_success to track conversions
5. Review candidate source and funnel data in GA4's Explore tab or Workable's built-in reports

Behind the Workable Connection System

Most partners on this list connect through one of two paths. The first is a native listing built by Workable's Developer Partner team. It activates with an API key or OAuth token inside Workable's Settings. The second is a partner-built connection that authenticates the same way but ships and gets supported by the partner directly.

What differs by category is the trigger. Assessment and background check tools wait for a candidate to hit a specific pipeline stage. Payroll and HRIS tools wait for the Hired event specifically. SSO doesn't wait for anything inside the hiring pipeline at all, since it controls access to the account itself.

3 Ways to Connect

1. API & Webhooks

Workable's REST API and OAuth 2.0 flow cover most native listings here, from Skima AI to Certn to BambooHR. Partners request an API key or token scoped to exactly the data they need. Webhook events, like a candidate moving stage or a job publishing, trigger the sync. That happens in near real time instead of a periodic pull.

2. No-Code Automation

Zapier and Tray.ai both sit on top of Workable's API for teams that want a custom trigger without engineering time. That covers things like routing a new candidate into a spreadsheet or a Slack channel. This route fits workflows a native marketplace listing wasn't built to handle. It's also how most staffing agencies connect Workable to internal billing or CRM systems.

3. Unified API Platforms

Platforms like Apideck and Bindbee normalize Workable's ATS API alongside dozens of other applicant tracking systems. A company building on top of several ATS platforms writes one integration instead of one per system. This matters most for HR tech vendors serving customers on different tracking systems. It's not built for a single company on Workable alone.

Summary

2 tools per category reflects real setup mechanics and documented capability, not a shortage of listings in the Workable marketplace. The directory covers hundreds of partner apps across assessments, sourcing, onboarding, background checks, payroll, and SSO. Only a fraction sync on a clear trigger with a real data flow behind them.

If candidate screening and scoring cost your team the most time, Skima AI's integration with Workable can help. It adds an explainable match score and a shortlist feedback loop directly inside your existing pipeline. There's no new login and no disruption to how your recruiters already work in Workable.
