Autessa Recruit as an alternative to Workable
Workable is an easy-to-run recruiting and HR suite with a read and write MCP on all plans, and AI screening as an add-on. Autessa Recruit includes AI screening with quoted evidence, and it puts more structure around the decision: blind scorecards, change-aware approvals and a private page for every candidate.

Where Autessa wins
Why teams choose Autessa Recruit over Workable
AI screening included
Every applicant is assessed against your weighted requirements, with quoted evidence, under guidance you write.
Approvals that show the change
When a job comes back for sign-off, the review shows line by line what changed since the last approval.
Agents, with the guardrails kept
Workable’s MCP is one of the broadest in recruiting. The Autessa MCP matches that reach and keeps Recruit’s rules: AI stays advisory, and interviewers’ access stays narrow.
From API to any change
Workable’s API lets developers connect to it. Autobot lets anyone on the team change Recruit itself, from a plain-language request, code and all.
