Concept: Social Sign In for Candidate Accounts

As the External Career Site administrator, you can enable external candidates to use their Google or Apple accounts to create candidate accounts and apply for jobs in your organization. This can streamline the candidate account creation process and eliminates the need for a separate password for candidates to remember. Enabling social sign in doesn't change the URL for Create Candidate Home Account. You can use the

Candidate Social Sign-In Consent Message

field on the

Edit Tenant Setup- Recruiting

task to create a rich text message for candidates using social sign in. You can add helpful links and information to this custom consent message. Selecting a provider from the

Candidate Social Sign-In Providers

field

The sign in process is the standard process for Google or Apple accounts owned and managed by those companies. Google and Apple control the password reset process. Workday doesn't control the sign in process or password reset.

The

Register SSO Client

background job needs to run before candidates can use their social accounts to sign in. Depending on when you enable this feature by selecting a provider, this can take up to 24 hours before the feature works for your external career sites.

Workday doesn't support Social Sign-On (SSO) for external career sites that use

Embed Mode

. A system restriction prevents you from configuring both features simultaneously. To maintain SSO functionality, you must host your career site as a standalone page rather than embedding it within an external parent site
