Workscreen vs. Google Forms vs. Workable:

If you’ve been hiring through Google Forms, you’ve probably spent hours manually sorting applications. That’s because Google Forms was designed for collecting responses, not for hiring. Without a good screening system, you waste valuable time on unqualified applications.

And if that sounds familiar, you may have considered or tried using a full ATS like Workable. This is a powerful ATS that offers a wide range of features, including candidate sourcing, onboarding, HR information systems, payroll processing, pipeline management, and integrations.

But if you simply want something lightweight, easy to use, and you don’t need all those extra features, that’s where WorkScreen.io comes in.

Why WorkScreen Is the Best Google Forms Upgrade for Hiring and a Lightweight Workable Alternative

WorkScreen is a fast, easy-to-use, and lightweight hiring ATS built for startups, founders, and hiring managers who want to screen applicants more efficiently without the complexity of a full enterprise ATS.

If you’ve usedGoogle Forms, you’ll find WorkScreen just as simple. You can:

✅ Create your own custom questions

✅ Collect and organize responses easily

But unlike Google Forms, WorkScreen goes further — it doesn’t stop at collecting applications. It automatically screens candidates for you.

And if you’ve tried Workable, you’ll love that WorkScreen helps you evaluate candidates quickly—without overwhelming you with so many features that you may not even need.

So, how does it work?

Simply visit WorkScreen.io, sign up, and create a job post. Add any custom questions—just like you would in Google Forms—and you’re done.

When applicants apply for your job post, they undergo a carefully structured screening process where they undertake a series of automated tests and relevant questions specific to your job post. They are screened for:

Job alignment
Relevant experience
Job-specific skills
Core qualifications,
and critical competencies like attention to detail.

All this happens without you doing any bit of work. Unqualified applicants are filtered out automatically, and you get a shortlist of serious, qualified candidates who are worth your time.

So, if you’re hiring through Google Forms, Notion Forms, or Typeform, email, or DM, WorkScreen is a good upgrade. And if you find Workable too complex or feature-heavy, WorkScreen is a lightweight ATS alternative for screening candidates. It even allows you to export the data to any existing hiring system you may be using.
