What is the main problem with Workday Recruiting's candidate experience?

Workday forces candidates to create a new login and password for every single company they apply to. After uploading a resume, candidates must manually re-enter their work history into 100+ fields. This redundancy causes up to 60% of job seekers to abandon applications.

Why do candidates abandon Workday applications?

Research shows up to 60% of job seekers abandon Workday applications due to complex account creation requirements and redundant data entry. The platform requires candidates to create unique logins for each company and manually re-enter information already in their resume, signaling the company does not value their time.

Workday Recruiting: The Candidate Experience Black Hole

The Verdict: Workday is a powerful HRIS, but its candidate experience is a primary driver of pipeline leakage. Research shows up to 60% of job seekers abandon applications due to its complex account creation and redundant data entry requirements.

The Problem: "Create an Account" Friction

Workday is notorious for forcing candidates to create a new login and password for every single company they apply to. In a competitive talent market, this initial barrier is fatal.

Furthermore, after uploading a resume, candidates are often required to manually re-enter their work history into 100+ fields. This redundancy signals to top talent that the company does not value their time.

The Business Impact

60% Drop-off Rate: The majority of interested candidates never complete the application.
Quality Loss: "Passive" candidates (the best talent) are the first to abandon complex processes.
Brand Damage: A clunky application process reflects poorly on the company's culture and technological maturity.
