Can you elaborate on the problems with Workday?
I hear lots of antipathy about it, but the only problem I've personally noticed is (IIRC) it consistently mis-parses my PDF resume.
- candiddevmike 3y agoFor me, I refuse to create accounts when applying for jobs. Too much of a pain in the ass.
- tcmart14 3y agoOne of the biggest issues I've had, and I don't know how workday looks from their end, when it comes to entering in education and specifically degree. My degree says "Software Engineering," which I never see given in a list. So I usually just pick whatever is closest like "Computer Science," and I always wonder if there is a system that does some correlation between what it put in the box and on the resume.
- notsurenymore 3y agoI applied to company using workday recently. The job was a referral and the JD made it explicitly clear I didn’t need a degree. Yet it was a required field. And of course, it wasn’t a free form text field that would allow me to just enter N/A or my high school. It was a drop-down/search box that had a predefined list of colleges and universities. I ended up just entering some college I attended for two months before dropping out.
- tcmart14 3y agoI've also seen that too. The no-free-form entry sucks. I went to a pretty big public school, but for some reason it wasn't included in the pre-populated list on one job I was applying to. No clue what the company using it's controls look like, but I even checked over big name public universities to see if they were on the pre-populated list and it was surprising how many were missing. Like UNC (University of North Carolina) wasn't listed.
- datavirtue 3y agoYeah, they get what they get from the parser. The good resume is uploaded anyway.
