Workable's integrations split into three tiers, not one flat list: most of the partner directory ships with every paid plan, texting/video/assessments are paid add-ons regardless of tier, and custom HRIS/HCM syncs are locked to Premier and Enterprise — and still cost extra once you're there.
- Job-board posting (Indeed organic, Glassdoor, limited LinkedIn) comes with every paid plan; promoted boards are extra.
- Texting, video interviewing, and assessments are separate paid add-ons on Standard — not bundled into the base price.
- Custom HRIS/HCM connectors (Workday, Oracle HCM, Paylocity) require Premier ($599/mo) or Enterprise ($719/mo) — and cost extra on top even there.
- Assessment, Video Interview, Background Check, and OAuth APIs are partner-exclusive — you can't configure them yourself, only use what a partner built.
- Anything outside the partner directory means building against Workable's own API.
The tier gate on custom HRIS/HCM integrations is the one Workable-integration fact most write-ups skip: it's not a feature you unlock by upgrading, it's a feature you unlock by upgrading and then pay for again.
The integration list, by the tier you actually need
| What | Tier required | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Job-board posting & sourcing (Indeed organic, Glassdoor, a limited slice of LinkedIn) | Every paid plan (Standard, Premier, Enterprise) | Included in the base subscription; promoted/paid boards are extra on top regardless of tier — see Workable's true cost by headcount for the full add-on math |
| Candidate texting, video interviewing, assessments | Standard and up | Separate paid add-ons, not bundled into the base price |
| Custom HRIS/HCM syncs — Workday, Oracle HCM, Paylocity | Premier ($599/mo) or Enterprise ($719/mo) only | Extra cost on top of the tier price; not available on Standard at any price |
| Dedicated Assessment, Video Interview, Background Check, and OAuth APIs | Partner-exclusive | Not purchasable directly — reserved for the vendors building the integration, not for you to configure |
| Everything not in the partner directory | No tier unlocks it | Build it yourself against Workable's own API |

Why the HRIS/HCM gate is the fact worth knowing
Workable's own technology-partners page states plainly that it runs dedicated Assessment, Video Interview, Background Check, and OAuth APIs "exclusively for partner use" — you don't get to wire those up yourself, a partner already has. Custom HRIS/HCM connections work differently: Workable does sell them to you directly, but only once you're on Premier or Enterprise, and the connector is billed as an add-on beyond the plan price. A team on Standard evaluating whether Workable can sync into Workday, Oracle HCM, or Paylocity is really evaluating whether it wants to pay for two upgrades: the tier, and then the connector itself.
If you're not on Premier or Enterprise
Everything that isn't in Workable's public partner directory — a Slack notification feed, a Zapier automation, DocuSign for offers, a Zoom scheduling link, a Checkr background-check trigger — is listed there without an advertised plan restriction, which is a real difference from the HRIS/HCM gate above. But if what you need isn't a listed partner integration at all, no plan tier unlocks it as a point-and-click connection. The only door left is Workable's own API, which is a developer task, not an admin-panel setting — Reqcore's separate guide to what the Workable API can and can't pull covers the constraints (rate limits, fields it can't reach) for teams going that route.
What Workable doesn't publish
Workable's partner directory does not publish a plan-by-integration matrix for the ordinary connectors — Slack, Zapier, DocuSign, Zoom, background-check partners. From what's public, the tier gating is concentrated at the two ends: the everyday partner directory is not advertised as restricted by plan, and the HRIS/HCM connectors and partner-only APIs are the confirmed exceptions. If a specific integration matters to your decision, confirm its plan requirement at signup — Workable doesn't commit to it in writing the way it does for the HRIS/HCM tier.
Where this fits if you're pricing out alternatives
If the HRIS/HCM gate is the complaint — you're on Standard, you need Workday or Paylocity synced, and the answer is "upgrade, then pay again" — that's a per-headcount pricing model showing up in integration costs too, not just the subscription line. Reqcore prices by hiring volume with a cap you set, not by employee count, so there's no equivalent tier to climb before a connector becomes purchasable — though Reqcore also doesn't yet match Workable's 200+ job-board reach, so this isn't a fit for every team switching for that reason alone.

FAQ
Which Workable integrations are included in every paid plan?
Job-board posting and sourcing — Indeed organic listings, Glassdoor, and a limited slice of LinkedIn — come with every paid Workable plan, from Standard through Enterprise. Most of the ordinary partner directory (Slack, Zapier, DocuSign, Zoom, background-check partners like Checkr) is also listed without an advertised plan restriction. Promoted or paid job boards cost extra on top of the base subscription regardless of tier.
Do I need Premier or Enterprise for Workable's HRIS/HCM integrations?
Yes. Custom HRIS/HCM connectors — Workday, Oracle HCM, Paylocity — are only available on Premier ($599/month) or Enterprise ($719/month), never on Standard at any price. And the connector is billed as an add-on beyond the plan price, so reaching the tier doesn't unlock the integration for free — you pay for the upgrade and then pay again for the connector itself.
Are texting, video interviews, and assessments included in Workable Standard?
No. Candidate texting, video interviewing, and assessments are separate paid add-ons on Standard, not bundled into the base price. Fully loaded, they push a Standard plan well past its sticker cost — see Workable's true cost by headcount for the add-on math.
Can I build my own integration with Workable's APIs?
Only partially. Workable runs dedicated Assessment, Video Interview, Background Check, and OAuth APIs "exclusively for partner use" — you can't wire those up yourself, you can only use what an approved partner already built. For anything outside the partner directory, the only option is Workable's general-purpose API, which is a developer task rather than an admin-panel setting, with its own rate limits and fields it can't reach.
Does Workable publish which plan each integration requires?
Not fully. Workable's partner directory doesn't publish a plan-by-integration matrix for the ordinary connectors like Slack, Zapier, DocuSign, and Zoom. The tier gating that is documented sits at the two ends: the HRIS/HCM connectors (Premier/Enterprise only) and the partner-exclusive APIs. If a specific integration matters to your decision, confirm its plan requirement at signup, because Workable doesn't commit to it in writing the way it does for the HRIS/HCM tier.
What's an alternative to Workable's tiered integration pricing?
If the problem is paying to upgrade a tier and then paying again for a connector, that's Workable's per-headcount model surfacing in integration costs. Reqcore prices by hiring volume with a cap you set, not by employee count, so there's no tier to climb before a connector becomes purchasable — though it doesn't yet match Workable's 200+ job-board reach.
