Workday Recruiting Reviews & Product Details

I really like how it connects perfectly with the rest of our Workday HR system. When we finally hire someone, all of their information moves easily from a "candidate" profile to a new "employee" profile. I don't have to type the same details twice, and it's nice not having to switch between three different apps just to get a job offer out. Having all the approvals and candidate history in one place is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can feel a bit clunky at times. Sometimes it seems like I have to click five different times just to move a candidate forward or complete a simple task. It’s also not very easy for beginners to pick up right away, so you definitely need some training to get comfortable. On top of that, trying to build custom reports to view our hiring data can be confusing and ends up taking too much time. Secondly, there isn’t much structure or clear guidance on where we are in the process; what has already been done, what’s left to do, and exactly where we are in our journey within each step.

Workday Recruiting provides end-to-end integration and strong reporting capabilities. It also seamlessly moved recruitment data to HCM for the employee records Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some functionalities that could make life easier for the recruiting team are not supported in Workday. For example, scheduling is a painful process that requires many clicks. Candidate details management is also limited, and a lot of options are not supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday Recruiting offers a standard workflow with multiple safety guardrails. It may be a great fit for very large organisations. We can also customise it to suit our company’s needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday Recruiting feels outdated, and its features aren’t consistent across the product. It also lacks ease of use, which makes everyday tasks more difficult than they should be. As a result, recruiters end up wasting a lot of time on manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the end‑to‑end structure and configurability of the recruiting process—from requisition approvals and candidate tracking to interview feedback and offer management. The platform supports strong collaboration between recruiters and hiring managers and provides reporting and analytics that help teams monitor key hiring metrics and make more data‑driven decisions.

One of the main drawbacks of Workday Recruiting is its usability and learning curve, particularly for recruiters and hiring managers who are not daily power users. Reviews frequently mention that workflows can feel rigid or unintuitive, requiring more clicks and navigation than expected for routine recruiting tasks, which can slow execution in fast‑moving hiring environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers automation and is easy to integrate with other providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to use with the HR platform, rather intuative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is designed for HR, so recruitment isn't the main aspect and therefore might not be as practical as a dedicated recruitment CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
