Applying through Workday is painful

Almost considering just not applying to any company that uses Workday. Is this a mobile number or a fax? Will companies actually fax me back? Why am I putting information on gender and race if you can't use that for hiring anyway? TC 220

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like Lever followed by Smart Recruiters. Lever is ❤️. Application submitted in 10s But never got a call back for interviews from company which uses smart recruiters. Workday , Sap Hr platform are shitty and trash

I have to say; Uber’s application process is king. One click to decline all DEI questions? Yes please.

Amazon notRacist Dec 25, 2021

Uber and google hr platform are black hole. You never know what happened to applications. No rejection email timely Uber wipes out application in a day

I've heard back from Uber

You can decline the gender and race questions I'm pretty sure... Idk I always use LinkedIn easy apply so I never actually bother with long applications

Microsoft sszl77 OP Dec 25, 2021

Having them on the application is a conversation in itself. Mostly just annoyed at all the bloat in these applications. Should just be a resume upload and eligibility questions imo

The Climate Corporation TSTk67 Dec 25, 2021

Yeah I never bother filling in experience section it's retarded just read the damn resume

Oh yes Microsoft new recruitment platform is cool too but HR doesn’t give a shit even in rejecting. 🏖 Microsoft HR

Microsoft and apple application portals are black holes. Google/FB/Amazon actually read some applications.

Amazon notRacist Dec 25, 2021

Amazon read all. It is very easy to identify whether your application is rejected in amazon Trick is if your application gets - - In location or other core information then that means application rejected.

There are better platforms out there, I have no idea why workday doesn't try to copy them, at the very least! It's sh*t and is everywhere unfortunately!

Microsoft sszl77 OP Dec 25, 2021

Twitters is my gold standard. A few others are super clean too

Amazon notRacist Dec 25, 2021

Fortune 500 uses workday mostly as it is old solution Startups uses lever mostly for easy integration

NBCUniversal waitlist Dec 25, 2021

Yes, and why do we have to re-enter work experience when it’s already on the resume that was uploaded

Workday is bad on the recruiting side. A ton of companies use WD for HCM but do not buy their recruiting module because it doesn't work.... Not to blow my own horn here, but Oracle Recruiting Cloud, next gen Taleo, is pretty solid.
