THE FAIR SHAKE

What Workable is for

AI passive-candidate sourcing

Workable's AI Recruiter mines 400M+ profiles to surface people who haven't applied. That's a different job from ours. PersonaScore goes deep on the applicants you already have instead of casting a wider net you still have to screen by hand.

WHY PERSONASCORE

Where PersonaScore beats Workable

Personality intelligence vs. basic keyword AI

6 assessment frameworks (including native Big Five) with AI role-fit analysis, interview coaching, and team debrief — all personality-aware. Workable's AI ranks résumés; it has no native read on how someone thinks, leads, or fits.

AI that knows your culture, not just the role

Company DNA — your values, EOS V/TO, and hiring philosophy — powers every recommendation. Workable matches on skills and experience and stops there. Two candidates can look identical to Workable and be a clear yes/no to PersonaScore.

Ask your pipeline anything

"Who are my strongest candidates for the Sales Manager role?" — PersonaScore's hiring assistant answers across your whole pipeline, scorecards, and team. Workable's AI points outward at sourcing, not inward at the decision you're actually making.

Free to start, priced by engagement — not by your headcount

Screen every applicant free, then pay per engaged candidate on plans from $299/mo with unlimited seats. Workable has no free tier and prices by company size, so the bill rises as you grow whether or not you're hiring.

PRICING

You pay for candidates engaged — not for the right to log in

Workable: a tax on access

Per-seat, per-company-size, or flat-tier — with Workable the bill is set before you make a single hire. Want to loop in another hiring manager? That's another seat, another line on the invoice. You pay for the platform whether you fill a role this month or not.

Tiered pricing that climbs with your headcount — the bill goes up as you grow, not as you hire. No free tier. Custom quotes above 50 employees.

PersonaScore: priced by outcomes

Screen every applicant for free. You only pay when a candidate engages — so your cost tracks the hires you make, not the size of your team. Add every recruiter and hiring manager you want at no extra charge. There's no penalty for collaborating.

Screen every applicant for free, forever. Plans start at $299/mo and you only pay when a candidate engages — with unlimited recruiters and hiring managers on every plan. No per-seat tax for adding a teammate.

Cost that tracks hires, not headcount.

THE VERDICT

PersonaScore vs Workable

Workable is genuinely good at one thing: filling the top of your funnel. Its AI Recruiter will find passive candidates you'd never have reached. But finding people and choosing the right one are different problems — and once those applicants are in front of you, Workable can rank a résumé but can't tell you who the person is, how they lead, or whether they'll fit. PersonaScore can. If your bottleneck is sourcing, Workable helps. If it's deciding, that's us.

Deeper candidate intelligence. Simpler pricing.
