Background

Workday HCM Recruitment Automation

The project focused on enhancing the University's Workday HCM recruitment process by automating candidate progression once applicants reached the "Ready for Hire" stage. The solution reduced manual intervention, streamlined approval workflows, and improved recruitment efficiency during peak hiring periods. By introducing automated workflow triggers and process improvements, the University strengthened recruitment operations while providing greater visibility into hiring activities.
