Create External Career Sites

Create External Career Sites

  • Set up veteran statuses for Recruiting.
  • Create a message template.
  • Security: These domains in the Recruiting functional area:
    • Candidate Data: Personal Information
    • Set Up: Career Sites
    • Set Up: External Career Site Access
    • Set Up: Site Branding
You can create 1 to 100 active external career sites to support specific:
  • Countries or locations.
  • Population groups, such as college graduates.
When you create an external career site, you can:
  • Brand it with your company logo or embed it into another website.
  • Define sections that candidates must complete when they apply for a job.
  • Integrate it with your social media recruiting outlets.
  • Add a
    Prospect Introduce Yourself
    page to branded external career sites. Prospective candidates can submit information without signing in or applying to a specific job. The submission creates a prospect record. When the prospect uploads a resume, Workday parses contact information, education, and experience, which becomes part of the prospect record.
  1. Access the
    Create External Career Site
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Opção Descrição
    ID
    Enter a unique alphanumeric identifier that becomes part of the URL. Workday converts spaces to dashes.
    Languages
    When you select more than 1 language, Workday displays the external career site in English and allows candidates to choose another language from the ones you selected.
    If you configure a
    Native Country Name
    on the
    Maintain Workday Delivered Country Names
    task, Workday displays the custom name on the external career site when candidates choose a language option.
    You can select a non-US English language option to enable candidates outside the United States enter dates in the DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY/MM/DD formats. Example: Selecting English (United Kingdom) will display the
    Date of Birth
    as 02/12/2025.
    Workday defaults locales based on browser settings and these predefined mappings:
    • Preferred language browser settings for Ireland, India, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong are mapped to English (United Kingdom).
    • Preferred language browser settings for South Africa are mapped to English (Canada).
    • All other preferred language browser settings map to English (U.S.).
    Embed Mode
    Embed mode enables you to display your external career site within another page, which offers flexibility regarding customization.
    If you enable embed mode, you're allowing other sites outside of Workday-delivered domains to host your external career site within their pages. This can be done by third parties with or without your consent. This means you’re incurring the risk of exposing your users to social engineering scams such as phishing. As a result, users can be misled into performing unwanted actions on your career site. We advise that users should be educated on basic internet safety, as well as which third-party websites they can expect to see with your job postings or other career site-related information.
    When you enable embed mode, these items don't display on the embedded page:
    • Follow Us icons.
    • Privacy Policy link.
    • Prospect Introduce Yourself link, which you can add manually.
    Embed mode doesn't support LinkedIn applications.
    Users with these browsers might not be able sign in or complete applications because they block third-party cookies by default:
    • All browsers on iPhone and iPad devices.
    • Safari on desktop.
    Workday recommends that you include instructions for impacted users so they know how to adjust browser settings.
  3. The
    EU Cookie Policy
    section includes a
    Cookie Display Notice
    .
    When you select
    Show only in limited time zones
    , the notice displays for users who set their local time for 1 of these time zones:
    • UTC
    • UTC+1
    • UTC+2
    • UTC+3
  4. As you complete the
    Tracking and Analytics
    section, consider:
    Opção Descrição
    Google Analytics Tracking ID
    Workday accepts IDs from Google Universal Analytics (UA) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4). You can configure 1 Tracking ID type for each external career site.
    Tracking Pixels
    To count completed applications, enter the URL of an image pixel tracker. If you configure multiple tracking pixel URLs, each must have a unique URL.
    Workday doesn't support these URL types:
    • HTML
    • Image tags
    • JavaScript
    Work with your third-party vendors to get a URL that meets Workday's requirements. Depending on the vendor, you might need to:
    • Complete additional steps to set up conversion tracking in a third-party application.
    • Wait for a period of time before you can report on conversion data.
    • Omit unnecessary attributes from the image tag that contains the URL.
    Example: If the vendor gives you this tag, only enter.
    https://ExampleURL.com/pixeltracking.gif
    :
    <img height="1" width="1" src="https://ExampleURL.com/pixeltracking.gif">
  5. As you complete the

    Opção Descrição
    Header Link Text and Page Title
    Workday recommends entering fewer than 25 characters. If you edit text in this field later, the page URL won’t change. The format for the direct link to the
    Prospect Introduce Yourself

The pools apply to all submissions for the site. If you anticipate over 50,000 submissions and don't have a process to move prospects from the selected pool into another, Workday recommends that you don't use this feature.
    Auto-Tag with Candidate Tag
    The tags apply to all submissions for the site.
    Confirmation Message for Direct Links
    Enter a confirmation message that displays:
    • When prospects access the
      Prospect Introduce Yourself
      page from a direct link (other than the header link).
    • If the
      Hide Search for Jobs Link
      is selected in the
      Branding

    Workday doesn't recommend changing the XML alias for these report fields as it can impact the filtering and placement of icons:
    • Any of the Location fields.
    • Date Posted
    • Distance
    • Time Type
    When you leave this field blank or Workday detects a problem with the selected custom report, the external career site uses the
