3. Screening and Assessment: Workday streamlines application reviews, automates communication, and assists with scheduling interviews.
4. Interviews and Selection: The system supports interview scheduling, feedback collection, and collaboration to make hiring decisions.
5. Offer and Onboarding: Offer generation, approvals, e-signatures, and seamless transition into the onboarding processes occur within the system.
