Why applying on Workday takes so long
- 01
Most employers on Workday ask you to create a separate account before you can apply.
- 02
Work history is re-entered field by field, even after you upload a résumé.
- 03
Multi-step forms can time out or lose progress partway through.
What we automate on Workday
- 01
Find the posting
We spot new Workday roles that match your filters, usually soon after they go live.
- 02
Tailor your résumé
Your résumé is rewritten for that role's wording, without adding experience you don't have.
- 03
Fill every field
Contact details, links, work authorisation, notice period and custom questions, all answered from your profile.
- 04
Submit and record it
We submit the Workday form and save a receipt showing every field. If it fails, it doesn't count.
Autofill vs auto-apply
Autofill
- You find each posting yourself
- Fills standard fields, if it recognises them
- Leaves custom questions to you
- You still press submit, one form at a time
Applysent auto-apply
- Finds matching postings for you
- Tailors your résumé to each role
- Answers custom questions from your profile
- Submits, then gives you a receipt
Why Workday feels different from other hiring systems
Workday is used by a large number of big employers: banks, universities, hospitals, retailers and multinationals. Their job sites usually sit on an address like company.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com (the number varies), though many are linked from the employer's own careers page.
The key difference is accounts. Each employer runs its own Workday site, so an account you created at one company doesn't work at the next. Most job seekers end up with a separate login, and often a separate password, for every Workday employer they apply to.
Use a password manager for Workday logins. You'll need them again to check status, withdraw or apply for another role at the same employer.
The steps of a Workday application
Employers can rename or remove steps, but most Workday applications follow this order:
| Step | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Create account / sign in | Email and password, then a verification email at most employers |
| My information | Name, address, phone, how you heard about the role, whether you've worked there before |
| My experience | Résumé upload, then work history, education, skills, languages and websites, entry by entry |
| Application questions | Employer questions, often including work authorisation and sponsorship |
| Voluntary disclosures | Optional demographic questions, mainly in the US, plus terms to accept |
| Self identify | An optional disability self-identification form on many US roles |
| Review | A summary of everything before you submit |
Uploading a résumé on the My experience step prefills some fields, but the results often need correcting: job titles land in the wrong boxes, dates go missing, and descriptions get cut. Many people end up re-typing their work history by hand.
Common Workday questions
Why do I need a new account for every company?
Because each employer's Workday site is separate. Your account belongs to that employer's site, not to Workday as a whole, so there's no single profile to reuse.
Can I save a Workday application and come back?
Often yes, since you're signed in, but long sessions can time out. Save as you go and keep your work history in a document you can copy from.
How do I check the status of my application?
Sign in to that employer's Workday site and open your candidate home page. Statuses there are often brief, so a separate tracker helps; see how to track job applications.
What should I answer for sponsorship?
Answer for your situation today and in the future, exactly as asked. Workday forms often split it into two questions: whether you're authorised to work now, and whether you'll need sponsorship later. Our guide to work authorisation and sponsorship questions walks through the common wordings.
Applysent and Workday
Workday is one of the systems Applysent supports today. For each Workday role inside your filters and above your match threshold, it tailors your résumé, enters your work history from your profile rather than relying on the parser's guess, answers the application questions from your saved answers and keeps a receipt of every field it filled in. Review mode lets you approve each application first.
If your target employers are mostly large corporates, the United States page explains which systems are covered.
What it won't do
- It never invents experience or answers voluntary disclosures beyond what you choose in your profile.
- It won't promise interviews or responses.
- It won't contact recruiters in your name.
Frequently asked questions
Can Applysent apply to Workday jobs right now?
Yes. Workday is live, so it can fill in Workday applications today, with a receipt for each one and nothing sent until you approve it in review mode.
How do I know an employer uses Workday?
The application opens on a myworkdayjobs.com address, or asks you to create an account on a page with Workday branding.
Do I really need a separate Workday account for each employer?
At most employers, yes. Each company runs its own Workday site, and accounts don't carry over between them.
Why does Workday ask whether I've worked there before?
So the employer can link your application to any earlier employment record. Answer accurately.
Are the disability and demographic questions required?
They're voluntary. You can choose not to answer, and your application can still be submitted.
