WorkableATS scope, costs and alternatives

Where this ATS fits

The pricing selector includes a 101–200-employee band. Recruiting lists unlimited active jobs subject to fair-use limits, nine native language options, custom reports and additional permission sets.

Documented GDPR settings apply to jobs in the EU, UK, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Retention automation starts from profile creation. A configured recent-activity exception applies to active jobs and the Talent Pool, but archived-job candidates are deleted by creation date despite recent activity.

Price the proposed plan

The page initially shows $299/month and $3,588/year for Standard at 1–20 employees. That is not a price for this 200-person scenario. Standard lists texting, video interviews and assessments as extras; Premier lists them included. Recruiting/HR selection and payment term affect the comparison; AI actions consume separately purchasable credits.

What changes the decision

Snoozed candidates are excluded from automatic deletion. Agency-added candidates do not automatically receive the standard privacy footer. These exceptions need an operational owner; enabling a broad deletion setting does not eliminate them.

• The interactive 200-employee total was not obtained; do not multiply or extrapolate the default rate.
• No verified HRIS integration behaviour, credit consumption or local board performance.
• Regional settings are documented functionality, not a compliance guarantee.

What to demonstrate before buying

Ask for the 101–200 band with only the required recruiting and HR modules. In a synthetic demo, compare an active, archived and snoozed version of a candidate and verify the retention result. Check each country's boards and the exact HRIS export fields.

• Pinpoint: Compare location-specific policy controls and the offered candidate workflow.

Questions buyers ask

Which alternatives belong on your shortlist?

• Tellent Recruitee

  Start is capped at five active job posts. Advance documents unlimited postings, multi-language/multi-location support and a branded multi-page careers site, so its published scope is closer to this European scenario.

  Trade-off: the retention clock starts at application. When profiles merge, the latest application determines retention; manually specified periods can take precedence through the furthest date. Support states GDPR automation is available on Advance and Optimize.

• Pinpoint

  Pinpoint says its quote considers hiring process and complexity. Its documented per-location retention settings make it relevant to a three-country employer, without proving every local requirement is covered.

  Trade-off: recent profile activity can extend storage beyond the original retention interval. There is a separate hired-candidate retention setting. At removal, personally identifiable data is erased while an anonymous record remains for reporting. Talent-pipeline candidates receive a renewal request before expiry.
