Workday DOs & DON’Ts

  • Never use checkboxes to move candidate statuses - ALWAYS use the Take Action button on the candidate profile

  • Always review Workday applicants daily - MAX two days a candidate should sit in “Review”. Disposition or move to Further Review.

    • Internals should be contacted within 24 hours of applying

    • All internals should be screened and presented

  • If building an offer for another recruiter that is out of office, add yourself as a recruiter before touching the candidate in the requisition.  (This will make sure you are able to build - otherwise it goes to the person who is out of office)

  • Do not use Workday to message candidates.  This is not consistent for messages being received

  • Do not send out the offer to the candidate without getting approval from the HRBP for the Offer Letter Draft 

  • When drafting an offer letter, do not edit anything in the fields for Signature or Printed Name (these are used by the Electronic Signature and any edits could cause issues.
