"Workday Recruiting- Have all your HR needs in one place"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

Before workday recruiting we used ICIMS and used workday for all other HR processes. Now it is all integrated and there is less disconnect between recruiters and HRIS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

We are still working out kinks, but it has worked pretty well so far. There have been only a few adjustments we needed to make per new hires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the most difficult ATS systems I have used"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

I do believe Workday could be great in the sense that it would work well for a large company with multiple requisitions to fill. It allows you to set an approval process so that you know your roles are budgeted and approved which is helpful. It's not too difficult to search for candidates, view roles etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

I have used many applicant tracking systems before and this one is definitely one of the most difficult ones I have used. I do not believe it was created with the recruiter in mind and there is a lot of confusion on how to do simple tasks. I do not find it user friendly at all.

I do believe part of it could be the way a company sets up the system during implementation initially. I just find there are multiple places to click - it's like going back and forth between pages a lot.

The process to even post a job is much longer than any other system I have used. Making an update can be more complicated than it should be. Merging candidates is also not the easiest because you have to merge them yourself and sometimes it picks up duplicates by first name alone.

My inbox is flooded from Workday tasks. If I've completed the action in the requisition, then it still stays in my inbox. I am not able to get rid of these notifications easily and it becomes even more of a challenge when working on teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Workday is always working to improve and I love having the ATS as part of the entire HRIS. Everything in the Workday system can communicate well with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

There's no click paths. You have to know the name of the tools or reports you are searching for to find and use them. Additionally, there is limited options for bulk uploads of candidate information and little to no true candidate relationship management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like how easy and comprehensive WD is to use as an ATS system. You can easily find candidates and move them through the appropriate hiring process quickly and efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

Workday can sometimes be clunky. It’s very difficult to find and run recruiting reports to establish time to fill for requisitions. It’s not a great back-end tool to use for business development and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outdated for today's needs: Not intuitive or collaborative."
2.5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

Process managed online. I find limited other qualities to the product. I believe Atlassian's JIRA would be better suited to take over this space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

As the hiring manager, I have no way to communicate with the recruiter through the product. As a hiring manager, my overview tab is overtaken by these grand (and useless) graphics that could be condensed to fit on a single page and not require scrolling.

Barely better than using excel. Leaves much to be desired and simplified. I'd be happy to hop on a call and walk someone through all the pain points I experience daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday Recruiting?

I think that the flexibility of Workdat Recruiting is incredible. It can be configured to meet many business needs - from streamlined recruiting process for contingent workers to confidential executing recruiting - Workday can really handle it all. In combination with the core HCM module this flexibility can result in really powerful, streamlined, and transactional analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday Recruiting?

If improperly configured its possible to create some major issues within your HCM transactions. Human error happens - failing to place validations within the Recruiting business processes can cause people to miss payroll deadlines, wreck havoc on their job changes, and overall create a poor candidate experience.
