Do I still have access after cancelling?

It depends on which option you choose. 'Cancel subscription renewal' keeps full access until the end of your current billing period. 'Cancel immediately' ends access right away — all active jobs are unpublished and archived, candidates become read-only, and the careers page stays live but shows no open roles.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

No. Workable's policy explicitly states they cannot provide refunds for any unused time remaining on the subscription, regardless of whether you cancel immediately or at renewal.

How do I reactivate my subscription?

If you chose 'cancel renewal', go to Settings > Plan before the period expires and click 'Reactivate' (shown in a yellow banner). Once the subscription has fully lapsed, you will need to re-subscribe through the Plan page.

What happens to my data after cancellation?

Candidate and employee data is preserved in read-only mode after cancellation. After 45 days, candidates are auto-archived. If you ticked 'permanently delete your account data' during cancellation, all recruiting data is deleted and the careers page is fully removed — this cannot be undone.

Can I cancel if I pay by invoice?

Not via self-service. If you have a manual or invoiced subscription, the cancel option does not appear in the UI. You must contact your dedicated Workable account representative or reach out to Workable support directly to cancel.

What happens if a payment fails instead of cancelling?

The account enters an expired state and data becomes inaccessible. After 30 days on expired status, the account auto-converts to the free plan.
