Provides efficiencies for both the applicant and recruiter when applicants apply to multiple positions within one organization. Cons Wish that it did a better job of comparing resume PDFs to the information the candidate fills out on their profile. Resume import functionality does not work well, especially if the person submits a creatively-designed resume. Review Source Customer Service Ambassador Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "I can greatly recommend!" October 31, 2023 5.0 We are one of the banks in the UK that uses Workday Talent Management. I can say it really works well with banks with either the HR is centralised or integration with other departments such as customer service. Pros \-Integrated with human resources and customer service department, designed the needs together, open to team work, can be modified by different levels.-First adaptation and installation was very smooth, never seen a failure, took sensitive data from our old program and moved it during weekend without any issues.-Have also been using it to track the team, enables me to see the collaboration of the team, giving me a general view of my department, keeping me on track and letting me know about changes and alerting me on possible events in terms of the performance of my team. Cons \-Customer support takes serious time to respond basic queries, however sometimes surprises us and responds in a timely manner.-Small changes can be done internally, to go for big changes, you need to raise a ticket and every ticket costs a price. -Report can be exported to Excel, however the style is not very easy to customise, that makes us to change the style of each report that was exported.

Review Source TA Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent all encompassing ATS" June 7, 2023 5.0 We use workday for all our hiring, onboarding, reporting and performance measurement needs and we absolutely love it Pros We use Workday talent management for all our recruiting, onboarding, reporting and performance measurement needs. We are a large organization with over 14,000 employees and Workday can do it all. Very interactive and intuitive system that helps manage all our hiring and managing of workforce needs! Highly recommend! Cons I would like to see a strong parsing mechanism in Workday Recruiting Switched from [SmartRecruiters](https://www.capterra.com/p/123833/SmartRecruiters/) SmartRecruiters did not not have onboarding and reporting functions Review Source Enterprise Account Executive Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Issues with log in" April 28, 2025 1.0 Pros The system is visually appealing and straightforward to navigate. It seems to be the most common solution for companies. Cons I kept getting locked out with no way to reset my password. It seemed like there is no user-specific interface so as I was using it across companies during recruiting/interviewing it was messing up the logins or something. Switched from [Justworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/223913/Justworks/) I made the switch because I changed companies. Review Source Manufacturing Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "workday review" July 1, 2025 4.0 its okey in many aspects, but for instance I work in general motors, and I am not sure why we are not using workday as a full integrated platform. for instance my vacation, absences, payroll, etc are dealt in a total different 3rd party software. So I would think that it is not me, but maybe overral my whole company that thinks it is not good for those applications. Not sure if it is too expensive to add those features. Pros that it is easy to access, know and see all your pending activies. In that way you can be more easily on time on each of your tasks. Cons Maybe one thing that is counter productice to workday, is how big it is. For many normal users, work day most of the time is just the application where my employer loads my tasks and I have to complete a few times a year. I know it is larger and more complex than that, but that is the main use I have given to it. Review Source Insurance Agent Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The great Workday" January 3, 2025 5.0 I have used Workday for my positions many times, and I have always had a positive experience. Pros Workday is great for work management. It contains a way to clock in and out. Also manage time off, sick days and any other time request. It is user friendly, but also contains a way to learn how to properly use it. Plus any positions offered with in the company can be assessed and contain all the details about the positions. Cons Sometimes it will not load, and you have to wait for it to work again. Review Source owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "I can always get by!" February 16, 2025 4.0 My experience with Workday Talent has always been really good when I need to manage work management. However, the only improvement I can see them having is to better manage the pay tabs along with work hours and paid time off. These are not so easy to manage but the platform is great aside from that nitpick area. Pros The dash is laid out great, with a tab for every single navigation needed in order to manage work management. Cons The least thing I like about workday is the layout for the work hours tab with paid time off. The layout can get confusing and hard to nagivate. Review Source Sr. Internal Auditor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Sr. Internal Auditor" February 24, 2025 5.0 Pros being able to easily navigate through the application Cons alot of options so you need to know where to look for something Review Source Techical Recruiter Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Workday provides significant value as a talent management system!" May 1, 2023 4.0 Workday offers a wide range of variety when it comes to HR management and solutions. Its a great tool to help with benefits, time tracking, payroll and recruiting information. It is a comprehensive tool, which is why most companies use Workday Talent Management to gain insights into performance metrics, industry trends to make data driven decisions. Overall, workday is generally regarded highly effective and a great tool to optimize HR processes. Pros Workday has a user friendly interface and design that helps users navigate the ATS easily. It is a great tool to track goals and keep priorities top of mind as it integrates well with Asana and Data Studio. The integrations on Workday are seamless with LinkedIn jobs, Calendly and other data driven tools. Cons Sometimes managing HR solutions may become complex and would require training for some users. There are limited customizations is terms of interface and reporting features. Moving candidates to different stages of the recruitment process becomes difficult as flexibility with its interface isn't the best. The ATS is time consuming as you may not find the right information in the right place and may have to play around with the site.

Specialist Recruiter Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Valuable Product" August 31, 2023 5.0 Used in a large company for mostly dashboard and tracking, generated reports for hiring managers, and high management. Pros Dashboards and tracking for activity are the best for Workday as they are essential. If you are into workforce planning, this should be your choice, works really fine with large companies as well. Cons It might sometimes get really slow, gets stuck and needs to refresh. It feels like each time you click somewhere, it starts using communication with server from the scratch that makes it sometimes laggy. Review Source Nidhi M. Solutions Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Effective and Easy solution " January 4, 2024 5.0 Pros It has a lot of features and all of them are categorized so beautifully. Full Employee Information can be stored including organizational information, performance, goals, and key metrics. Cons I simply enjoy using Workday. Setup is easier and support is also great. No problems faced so far.

Recommendation: Make sure you have your processes and strategy agreed to upfront to avoid headaches and rework. Pros The Product offers flexibility in setup. Some functionality that may be lacking in customization today, Workday is always willing to listen to its customers and consider in future releases. The Workday community is very helpful when rolling out new features that you haven't tried before so that you can have insight and support from those who have implemented. Cons At the time we rolled out a couple of years ago the disciplinary process was not as robust as we needed but we have been able to adapt and make it work. Reasons for choosing Workday Talent Management Diverse functionality that it offered and ease of use. Review Source Pia S. Human Resources Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "One Of The Best Platform For Talent And Performance Management" February 22, 2023 5.0 Users can quickly and easily fill out forms provided by businesses thanks to Workday. It can be used for payroll, benefits, feedback, talent management, and hiring new employees. Pros Everything is in one location, including the status of the hiring process and the advancement of present employees. Everything is available to you at all times. Also, Workday has a helpful community, a tonne of online documentation, and training resources. One of the best software applications for assisting a company in systematically managing employee profiles and associated assets is Workday. Cons Nothing about the workday can be described as dislikeable. It can be great to have additional database search options for candidates. Review Source HR/Payroll Administration Specialist Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Historia Laboral del empleado" February 13, 2023 5.0 Para manejar el historial de los empleados es lo mejor. En ella los empleados pueden tambien solicitar sus respectivas vacaciones, ver su acumulado, etc. Por lo tanto, facilita mucho el trabajo de tanto la empresa como sus empleados. Pros Lo que mas me gusta es que es una herramienta super sencilla de utilizar, hasta un principiante lo puede utilizar sin ningun problema. En la misma se mantiene toda la informacion de los empleados de una empresa, desde su inicio hasta que culmina, de manera ordenada y limpia. Cons No tengo comentarios negativos y tampoco alguna desventaja del mismo. Es la mejor herramienta para los empleados de una empresa Review Source Creative Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Why is everyone so in love with Workday? It's the worst ATS!" November 15, 2023 1.0 Pros Sadly, I don't have anything nice to say about Workday. They have a cute logo and do a REALLY great job in selling this awful product to the masses. Cons Features are clunky. You can't "undo" anything without an act of congress. Steps to move a candidate through the process can be unclear and confusing. The communications feature is deplorable. It is by far the worst ATS I have ever used. It is overpriced and takes 27 steps to get anything done. You need a full time HRIS specialist to answer all of the problematic questions for users across the organization. No one likes it! Save your money and get a real ATS that can actually deliver instead of wasting your time and money on Workday. Review Source Cody R.

RECRUITER Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "WORKDAY Review by a Recruiter/ Sourcer" September 5, 2022 4.0 Overall its a great help to me Pros That you have resumes ready to close on them, Candidate are already interested for job opening as they have applied. We have ready material Cons That any one can apply for job opening, it increases the work load.
