Workday Recruiting is Live!

Published on Monday, August 18, 2025

Posted on behalf of Kathleen Farrell, director for Campus Recruiting 

I’m incredibly pleased to share that Workday Recruiting is now live! That means you (and your hiring managers) can now: 

  • Access your in-progress open requisitions and move applications, candidates and new hires forward 
  • Initiate new job requisitions (and ask your Recruiting Office Parter to edit any converted requisitions) 

Need help getting started?
Be sure to explore our Working with Workday Recruiting – Launch Training Resources, including on-demand videos with step-by-step demonstrations, slide decks and user guides designed for HR administrators and hiring managers: 

Stuck or unsure what to do next? Join us for one of our “At the Elbow” sessions
These virtual drop-in hours are staffed with 2-3 recruiters who can help you troubleshoot any stumbling blocks you encounter. Encourage your hiring managers to attend as well – we hope everyone will take advantage of these sessions to ask questions so that your Recruiting Office Partners can prioritize processing hires and new job reqs. 

Drop-in support schedule (Zoom):

Learn about any known issues 

Let’s be honest… it wouldn’t be a true implementation without a few hiccups! If something isn’t operating quite as expected, we’ll keep you posted here: 

And with that, I’m going to go nap for the next month. Kidding! Those known issues won’t solve themselves. 😉 

Thanks again for all you do – please know that I, we, the whole Workday Recruiting program team, truly appreciate all you’re doing to make this transition work. 

All the best,
Kathleen
