Enable Social Sign in for Candidate Accounts

Enable Social Sign in for Candidate Accounts

Set up external career sites.
When you enable Social Sign In for candidate accounts on your external career sites, external candidates can use their Google or Apple accounts to create candidate accounts and apply for jobs in your organization. This is a tenant-level setting and applies to all of your external career sites.
  1. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - Recruiting
     task.
    From the
    Candidate Social Sign-In Providers
     list, select the providers that you want candidates to use to create accounts.
    Example: Google and Apple.
  2. Enter the message for candidates in the
    Candidate Social Sign-In Consent Message
     field.
    This message should explain that the candidate is giving user consent by using their social account for account creation. The message appears above the social sign in options when candidates sign into the external career site.
    Workday recommends that your message mentions that if Apple users select the
    Hide My Email
     option, email notifications might appear in their spam folder. If your organization uses a custom SFTP for email, add a disclaimer for Apple SSO users. If users select the
    Hide My Email
     option, they won't receive email correspondence from your organization. Candidates must use a different provider to sign in.
  3. Wait for the Register SSO Client background job to complete.
    This can take up to 24 hours.
Candidates can use the specified providers to create accounts on your external career sites.
