How Workday hires

Truth index
A 93/100
Median time to fill
21 days
Ghost roles
2%
Stale roles
40%
Reposted roles
7%

Workday scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 88 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 2% look like ghost listings, 40% have gone stale and 7% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 21 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Workday is an American enterprise software company founded in 2005 by two PeopleSoft executives after Oracle's hostile takeover of their previous employer. It sells cloud applications for human capital management and financial management to large organisations, covering core human resources records, payroll, talent, workforce planning, general ledger accounting, procurement and planning in a single system with one data model and a common release schedule for every customer. Headquartered in Pleasanton and listed on Nasdaq, it competes principally with SAP and Oracle for large enterprise deployments and has embedded artificial intelligence agents across its applications.
