Workable's AI screening evaluates candidates against the job description from application data — it doesn't conduct a conversation with the candidate.
Workable's product documentation describes AI screening as matching against the job description, parsing résumés, and ranking applicants from the data they submitted — distinct from an interview.
Raffi + ATS stack typically lands cheaper than a single all-in-one tier: $199/mo Raffi Pro + a $99/mo Workable Starter = $298/mo total, with full conversational AI interviewing AND full ATS workflow.
Most teams running an ATS already have a base subscription cost. Adding Raffi as the interview layer is additive but small — the conversation depth comes from a tool built specifically for voice interviewing, not bolted onto an ATS database.

Most teams don't rip-and-replace — they stack, then decide.
Workable's AI screening ranks applicants from data they submit — resume text, application questions, parsed skills. It doesn't call them, listen to how they answer follow-up questions, or score their actual conversation. That's a different category of signal.
Most teams don't switch off Workable — they stack Raffi on top. The ATS handles applicants, scorecards, and scheduling. Raffi handles the conversation. If you want fewer tools long-term, Raffi has a lighter ATS layer for teams under ~100 active jobs.

Pick Workable when…
You need a full ATS (applicant tracking, careers page, job board distribution, integrations) and you're OK with AI as a productivity layer rather than the core experience. You're consolidating tools, not picking best-of-breed.
Pick Raffi when…
You already have an ATS (or you can route candidates from one) and your real bottleneck is screening volume — interviewing every applicant. Use Raffi to interview, score, and rank; pair it with whatever ATS handles the rest of the workflow.
Yes. Raffi covers most of what Workable covers, plus the two-room operator model where you actually talk to the AI about your candidates. SaaS pricing, $25 starter credit, no card required.
