Skilltage vs Workable: CV evidence instead of a fit score
Skilltage gives recruiters requirement-by-requirement CV evidence, a focused follow-up question for anything unclear, and full control over every decision. It runs beside Workable or any other ATS, and you can start with free evaluations.
Workable's AI agent gives each applicant a score out of 100. Skilltage reads every CV against the requirements you agreed for the role and shows the evidence, the gaps and what to ask next, so your recruiters decide with the full picture.
Skilltage and Workable side by side
- How AI reads applications
- Connects each candidate's experience to the requirements agreed for the role and shows the evidence, gaps and open questions beside the original CV.
- The Workable Agent evaluates each candidate against an ideal candidate profile and gives a score out of 100. Candidates are ranked by that score by default.
- When the CV is silent
- The requirement is marked unclear, not failed, so a strong candidate who left something out stays in view.
- Criteria marked "Disqualify if not met" are flagged, and an optional setting disqualifies those candidates without a recruiter.
- Who moves candidates
- Your recruiters select every review state and send every message. AI prepares the material; people decide.
- Optional settings let the agent disqualify candidates and advance candidates above a score threshold.
- Following up on a gap
- One focused follow-up question by email draft or as a short video answer through Skilltage Unscripted, included in every subscription.
- Video interviews are a paid add-on on the Standard plan and included from Premier.
- Getting started
- Start with free evaluations, then pay as you go or choose a monthly plan. Every subscription includes one technical integration agreed with the Skilltage team.
- Plans from $299 a month for the smallest company size, priced by headcount. Sourcing and screening agents use AI credits on top.
Why teams choose Skilltage
- Recruiters see why a candidate fits, requirement by requirement, instead of a number they have to trust.
- CVs that have started to sound alike become comparable again, because Skilltage looks for concrete experience.
- Strong candidates are not lost to a gap in the writing: unclear points become one focused question.
- Every progression and every message stays with a person, which keeps your process explainable to candidates.
- You keep the ATS you have and add Skilltage for the evaluation step, starting with free evaluations.
Keep Workable, add the evidence
Skilltage runs beside your ATS. Every Starter, Regular Hiring and High Volume subscription includes one technical integration with your current recruitment process; you agree the systems, scope and approach with the Skilltage team. Recruiters can also upload PDF CVs from any channel.
Evidence instead of a fit score
A score out of 100 tells you how strongly a model rates a candidate against a profile. It does not show which requirement the candidate meets, where the CV says nothing, or what you should ask next. Skilltage shows that reasoning requirement by requirement, next to the original CV, so the recruiter can check it before deciding.
Missing evidence is not negative evidence
When a CV does not mention something, Skilltage marks it as unclear instead of counting it against the candidate. The recruiter can then ask one focused question, by email or as a short video answer, rather than filtering out a candidate over something that was simply not written down.
The recruiter stays in charge
Skilltage prepares the reading, the follow-up and the next message. The recruiter selects every review state, edits every message and sends it. That keeps each decision explainable, to your hiring managers and to your candidates.
