Workable is a popular SMB-and-mid-market ATS with strong job-board distribution, good UX, and feature breadth. Vitae is the modern alternative for the same audience: same usability bar, with AI replacing volume recruiter work.
Sourcing, first-touch, screening, and scheduling, all by agents, not your team. Workable is a database; Vitae is a database with a working team of agents.
Handle the bulk of manual first-round screens. Workable has light AI screening but no native screening agent.
Vitae connects candidate records, matching and talent pools. The separate Sourcing module is rolling out. Find People supports decision-maker search and contact enrichment with its own add-on.
