"Could use more user friendly updates"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

I like how I can see all of my candidates all in one window. I like how it remembers my filters when I go back into the req. I like how it's an HCM so everything is connected to payroll and onboarding. I like how I can send candidates a link to apply and move them into other reqs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

It's clunky when it comes to dispositioning candidates and sending messages. I don't like the offer process, it's too many steps. In addition, there is not spot to put recruiter screen info. My candidates also have a hard time inputting additional documents into their profile after the apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

There is not much to dislike about Workday recruiting. If there was one thing to point out, it would be to increase the visibility of critical recruiting pipeline data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good but it can improve"
4/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

It is a good tool to have all the employees of a company identified and to follow up on the documentation and important material. Likewise, it provides courses such as security which are useful and that the entire company has to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

The design can certainly improve, making it more visually aesthetic. Also sometimes when marking the notifications they are not marked and emails from pending courses arrive again, so improving a good user experience would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workday is a great HR Admin tool, but horrible for recruitment."
0/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

If implemented correctly having a single HCM tool should be beneficial for consistent data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

After having implemented over 30 ATS's Workday is by far the worst. In the basis Workday is an HR ADMIN tool, suitable to manage employees. Recruitment is a completely different ballgame. Hiring manager /recruiter cooperation is useless (impossible to present candidates to HM, useless for reviews), horrible Candidate experience (logins, multipage apply forms, etc). Using Workday will lead to shadow admin. Stay away from WD (especially outside of US). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workday Recruiting Review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

If you are using Workday HCM then having Workday Recruiting is an obvious choice for managing applicant pipeline and pre-hire diligence. It is particularly useful having candidate/prehire profiles link with employee profiles. I found it advantageous to replicate our employee diversity tracking within the Workday Recruiting platform for all applicants. It enabled us to proactively report on and influence diversity within recruiting. But the best feature is the direct link with Workday HCM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

The main thing that I disliked about Workday Recruiting was the user interface. Workday has always been better at what it does than how it looks. For users, I have always considered this a non-issue. But for applicants I think having a strong, clear, and 'friendly' UI makes a huge difference in encouraging people to complete their applications. In my experience, applicants can be put off applying by this simplest of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Option for Recruiting"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

If you are already using Workday as your HCM, there is no better option for recruiting than the Workday recruiting module. It was a fairly seamless integration and once up and running, it is extremely easy to use for both the HR / Recruiting team and hiring managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

It was a lot of work to get all of the job descriptions loaded, but that is because we are a young company. If you have well-established roles, this won't be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Over all, very good experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

I really like that all my worker information is consolidated, and up to date. It makes easier to update fiscal, personal and company information in the same spot. And it's also a good source of consultation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

I do not know all the features, never have received a training. Also I have updated all my visa and billing information and I keep receiving mails that my profile information is incomplete Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workday Recruiting review"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

Workday recruiting is the portal to keep track of all the applicants until the candidate gets onboarded. The best part about the application is that even candidates can trace the status of their candidature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

The least helpful aspect of Workday Recruiting is that sometimes it takes longer than usual to get updates, so the candidate doesn't receive feedback on the application promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
