Actions > Roles lets you assign roles and view the role assignment history for that requisition
The search bar is one of the most powerful features of Workday. It appears on every page, so you can search from anywhere—no need to return to the home page. You can search for people, processes, tasks, reports and business data using the search bar.
Searching for Candidates or Requisitions
You can even use the search bar for candidates and requisitions.
Because of Workday’s default search settings, the search may initially show no results. If so, click the Recruiting tab on the left side.
Keep in mind that searches only find exact matches. While you may enter a partial spelling of a name or action, if you misspell the search text you will likely not see any results.
The Candidate Job Applications page (accessed from the Candidates icon in the left sidebar) provides an overview of candidates for the requisitions assigned to you.
From here, you can:
Filter candidates by stage (click on the stage name).
Click on any column header to sort by that topic.
See what stage every candidate is in.
Click on a candidate’s name to view all details about that candidate (job experience, questionnaire responses, recruiting history and more).
See which steps are awaiting action (click the number).
View a candidate’s application (click the number, then click View Application).
Move candidates to another stage (check the box next to the candidate name(s), then click Move Forward.)
Managing Candidates by Requisition
To manage candidates for a particular requisition, click the requisition in the Manage Job Requisitions section of the Recruiting Dashboard.
The requisition page shows an overview of candidates by stage and source.
To view a list of candidates, click the Review Candidates button.
You can filter the list by clicking the Awaiting Action button, the stage names, or the column headers.
Checking the box next to candidate names allows you to take a variety of actions:
Move Forward: Move the candidate(s) to a different stage.
Decline: Disposition the candidate(s). A pop-up screen allows you to select a disposition reason.
Send Message: Email the candidate.
Other options: Clicking the button with three dots provides additional options, including: a) Invite to Apply b) Move to Linked Evergreen Requisition c) Move to Another Job Requisition d) Copy to Another Job Requisition
To manage postings for a particular requisition, click the requisition in the Manage Job Requisitions section of the Recruiting Dashboard. Then click the Job Postings tab.
All postings (internal and external) will be listed. You can view a posting by clicking its name.
To unpost a job, check the box next to the posting name.
Evergreen requisitions allow you to have a steady flow of candidates for high-volume positions. For example, if the company you support always needs drivers, you might want to create an evergreen driver requisition. Candidates CANNOT BE HIRED directly from an evergreen requisition. They must first be moved to a regular, linked requisition.

For example, the Primary Recruiter will review the first 15 candidates and additional candidates in increments of 5 thereafter as needed.
Sales Territory only applies to roles with a sales territory (i.e., Sales Trainee, Sales Consultant Trainee). For all other job profiles, indicate "none." Sales Territory will be included in the external job posting and will drive candidate search functionality.

Confidential requisitions are visible only to those aligned to the job requisition and/or who have security to view confidential jobs.

Unlike errors, alerts do not prevent the task from being completed.
After the candidate has accepted an offer, the Primary Recruiter will move them to the Background Check stage.

The Primary Recruiter receives an Inbox task. Click Move Forward, then Background Check.

Next Steps
After the Primary Recruiter clicks Submit, candidates receive a Workday notification that explains next steps for the screening process. They also receive an email from the background screening vendor. It directs them to visit the vendor’s website and enter personal information/work history within 48 hours. If the job requires a drug screen, they receive another email instructing them to complete that requirement within 72 hours.
When candidates fulfill all the requirements and the background screening vendor completes its tasks, results become visible in Workday via integration with the vendor. The Background TAC will monitor results in Cisive. If candidates successfully pass all screens, the TAC changes the status to Cleared to Start.
On the left side of your Inbox, you’ll see two tabs: Actions and Archive.

If a one-time payment (such as a sign-on bonus, relocation or referral) was requested as part of the offer, HR Operations will process the payment. If union membership is tied to the position and location, the HR partner will manage union membership. Workday converts the candidate to an associate and sends the information downstream to other systems and groups, like Business Technology and Payroll. Finally, the candidate’s onboarding process is triggered.
Workday makes it easy to search for people, processes, tasks, reports and business data using the Search bar.
For example, to find an associate, type a name (first, last or both) into the search bar and press Enter.
Click People from the Categories list on the left side of the page to filter the results to only display people.
Keep in mind that searches only find exact matches. While you may enter a partial spelling of a name or action, if you misspell the search text you will likely not see any results.
To access your account settings, click the Profile icon in the top-right corner and select My Account. From there, you can change your password and account preferences, manage your account’s challenge questions and switch accounts.

The start date is required. However, this date can change as needed and there are opportunities throughout the recruiting process to update it. Pay differentials are not configured on job profiles, so they won't be automatically added to offer letters.
