Number of candidates submitted.
Time to the first candidate interview.

Referrals enable your workers to refer their connections to job postings. Candidates can also specify a worker they know at your company as a self-identified referrer. You can configure Workday to process payments for successful referrals and approved endorsements based on condition rules.

Enable users involved in the hiring process to collaborate, communicate, and track recruiting activity by adding and viewing notes on job requisitions and candidate job applications.

Use the

task to rename Workday terms such as prospect, contingent worker, or evergreen requisition. These values display in object names and search results.

Create custom objects to track additional fields that Workday-delivered objects don't include. Example: Create a custom object to track recruiting agency payments from a specific cost center.
