Workday — HR Workflow Guide

This guide is for recruiters and hiring managers using SIA with Workday Recruiting. Once connected, SIA reads your job requisitions, screening questionnaires, prospect resumes, and interview records so you can run AI-powered matching and scoring on top of what's already in Workday — without changing how your team works.

SIA checks your Workday account every 15 minutes and pulls in every open job requisition automatically, along with any screening questionnaire attached to the posting. There's no manual job creation needed on your end. For each requisition it finds, SIA sets up three things automatically:

• Job details — the role, description, and requirements come across as-is from Workday
• A default resume matching strategy — a starting set of criteria to score candidates against, based on the requisition itself, so scoring can begin right away
• Workflow activation — if the requisition already has a SIA user assigned, it goes live immediately and starts evaluating candidates

If a requisition doesn't yet have a SIA user assigned, it's held in Draft rather than going live — nothing is evaluated or acted on until someone is assigned to own it.

SIA can read prospect resumes and existing interview records — including scheduled interviews and any feedback already submitted by interviewers — and factor that into a candidate's evaluation alongside their resume.

This means your team gets an AI-powered view that combines resume fit, screening questionnaire responses, and existing interview signals all in one place, rather than having to piece them together manually.

The Workday integration today is read-only on the Workday side. SIA reads your requisitions, candidates, and interview data from Workday and evaluates them, but doesn't write results back into Workday itself. This means:

• No automatic notes on candidates in Workday — scores, grades, and evaluation summaries are visible in SIA's Candidate Listing and Chat, not on the candidate's Workday profile
• No automatic stage moves in Workday — your team reviews AI outcomes in SIA and any updates to Workday happen through your normal Workday process

If your team needs results written directly into Workday, reach out to the Senseloaf team at support@senseloaf.com to discuss your specific workflow.

Once Workday is connected, you can ask SIA about jobs, candidates, notes, and pipeline stages in plain language directly from SIA Chat. The prompts below are a starting point — explore more from directly within the SIA platform.

What can I do with my Workday integration?

How many candidates are in each stage of the [Job Title] pipeline?

Add a note to [Applicant Name] from [Job Name] in Workday: strong on system design, weak on SQL.

Which candidates moved stages today because their score changed?

SIA Chat isn't limited to Workday. Since your other tools are connected to SIA too, you can act on the same candidates and jobs across Slack, Google Workspace, and email without leaving the conversation. Ask SIA to hand off a shortlist, a report, or a scheduling task to whichever tool your team actually works in — it'll route the request to the right connector automatically.

Post today's shortlisted candidates to our #hiring Slack channel.

Export this week's shortlist to a Google Sheet for the hiring manager.

Send an email invite to [Candidate Name] for the next interview round.

Schedule a screening call with [Candidate Name] on my calendar for next week
