If your team uses requisitions to manage headcount approvals, the Workable Agent fits right in. Requisitions and the Agent do different jobs at different points in your hiring process, and your existing approval workflow does not change.
- Requisitions: drive your headcount approvals and job creation, exactly as they do today
- The Agent: works on the job once it exists — it builds the Ideal Candidate Profile (ICP), then sources, screens, scores, and engages candidates
The recommended flow
- Create the requisition as you do today and get it approved.
- Once approved, create the job the usual way.
- Open the job, set or refine the ICP, and turn the Agent on.
Note: You can also upgrade an existing job to agentic — the Agent can then process candidates already in that job's pipeline.
Your approvals do not change
Requisitions stay tied to the job that results from them, so your approval chain and headcount controls work exactly as before. The Agent adds recruiting help on top, once the job exists.
FAQs
Do I lose my approval process if I use the Agent?
No. Your requisitions and approvals work exactly as before. The Agent only starts once the job is created and you turn it on.
Can I turn the Agent on for a job created from a requisition?
Yes. Open the job, set the ICP, and turn the Agent on or upgrade the job to agentic.
Can I add the Agent to a job that is already live?
Yes. You can upgrade an existing job to agentic, and the Agent can process candidates already in the pipeline.
