Steps: Configure the Job Application Business Process

Steps: Configure the Job Application Business Process

You can use Workday-delivered stages to configure the path that candidates follow in recruiting on the
Job Application
business process. From each stage, you can select the:
  • Stages you want available as possible next steps for moving a candidate forward.
  • Options for removing the candidate from the recruiting process.
If you want to renegotiate the terms, you can add the Offer and Employment Agreement stages twice. Use label overrides to distinguish between 2 stages with the same name.
Workday uses the job application of a candidate date to determine which
Job Application
business process definition to use.

    Job Application
    business process definition.
