Workable is a developer of cloud-based recruitment and human resources (HR) management software based in Boston, Massachusetts.
History Workable was founded in June 2012 in Athens by Nikos Moraitakis and Spyros Magiatis to develop recruiting software for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). It was launched amid the Greek government-debt crisis, with the founders initially basing operations in a small office in Athens. Its first seed round of approximately $950,000 came largely from JEREMIE-Openfund II, an EU-backed Greek venture capital fund.
In March 2014, Workable raised $1.5 million in a Series A round led by Greylock IL (later renamed as 83North), with participation from Openfund. A year later, in February 2015, Workable received an additional $5 million from existing investors, with the funds intended to expand its operations to the United States. In October 2015, Workable raised $27 million in a Series B round led by Balderton Capital.
In November 2018, Workable raised $50 million in a Series C round led by London-based private equity firm Zouk Capital. In 2020, Workable was included on the Financial Times FT 1000 list of Europe's fastest-growing companies.
As of 2026, Workable has offices in Boston, Massachusetts; London, United Kingdom; Athens, Greece; and Singapore.
Platform Workable provides cloud-based applicant tracking and recruitment software. The software uses predictive algorithms to recommend candidates for a position based on recruitment and personal data collected from online sources. In 2024, Workable expanded its platform with the launch of a full HRIS for onboarding, time-off tracking, employee record management, and performance management.
Reception Workable was reviewed by Juan Martinez and Gadjo Sevilla of PCMag in 2019 and wrote positively about the software. Similarly, its platform was reviewed by TechRadar in 2022.
