FAQ: Talent Marketplace

Does location affect how Workday matches candidates to gigs?

No, location doesn't affect matching.

Does availability affect how Workday matches candidates to gigs?

No, availability, or expected availability, doesn’t affect matching. However, gig hosts can filter candidates based on the availability they specify they can commit to gigs.

Who receives gig promotions and can I control who receives them?

You can send gig promotions to specific candidates, subsets of candidates or all recommended candidates, up to 200, unless they set their availability to Not Available. You can only promote your gig to the same candidates once. When you edit the skills required for a gig, Workday refreshes the candidate recommendations, and you can promote the gig again.

A worker is a recommended candidate when:

They're a Fair, Good, or Strong Match for the gig.

They have access to the Gigs
domain.

They're an active worker.

Workers who haven't completed onboarding can receive gig promotions.

If a gig host moves to another position or is terminated, how do I reassign the gig host role?

Currently, if a gig host moves to another position, or is terminated, the gig they were hosting requires manual reassignment. An administrator completes this process by reassigning the gig host role. Two possible approaches are:

From the related action on a worker, select Security Profile, then Assign Roles, then Change Assignments. Locate the gig that requires reassignment by scrolling down the Role Enabled For column. Add or remove assignees as needed.

From the related action on a worker, select Security Profile, then View Role Assignments for Worker Position. Update the gig host for any gig using the related action for the applicable gig and select Roles, then Assign Roles.

How do gigs search filters work?

Workers can use the

Gigs Your Company Needs Help With

filter to find gigs that align with the skills on their profile. The

Gigs to Help You Develop

filter helps workers find gigs based on the skill interests on their profile. Using either filter and

Gig Host

,

Gig Type

,

Location

or other search facet filters enables workers to refine the list of available gigs.

Why does Talent Marketplace require Workday Skills Cloud and how are opportunity matches made?

Skills Cloud uses machine learning to provide more relevant and appropriate opportunity recommendations for workers. Skills Cloud matches explicitly defined skills on the worker profile and skills on the opportunity. Skills Cloud also infers related skills that a worker has based on data points from their profile to match them to opportunities.
