Workday accounts, employer accounts and email verification

Some hiring systems need a candidate account. How we create it with your application inbox, read verification codes, and when we ask you.

Some hiring systems, Workday in particular, need a candidate account on the employer's careers site before you can apply. When you allow it, we create that account in your name, using your application inbox as the email.

Your application inbox

Every account gets an application inbox: an email address we use as the contact email on your applications. Confirmations, verification codes and employer replies arrive there, and you can read them in the app's Inbox. Set it up under Settings → Application inbox.

Verification codes

When an employer emails a code (Greenhouse and Oracle do, for example), we read it from your application inbox and enter it. If we couldn't use the code, the application says so; check your inbox and prepare it again.

If an employer asks for phone verification or another security check on the account, we stop and ask you, because that step needs you.

Asking first

During setup you choose whether we create employer accounts for you or ask each time. Change it on your Profile under Employer accounts. Accounts we hold for you are listed under Settings → Connected accounts.
