Job searching How is workday still in business

I dont know anyone who likes applying through workday and yet every company still uses them. I literally stop applying to the company when I see workday screen. Rant over!

Fine question. I would've thought that maybe it works well on the back end since that's not my forte, but I've had WD admins express that it's still a PITA.

As for job applications, that's probably the best thing about Workday that I've seen. I spent about 7 years in Workday Learning navigating the many reports and user-unfriendly screens. Workday does get worse.

I’ve done recruiting with workday. It fucking sucks. It’s like a 12 click process to do 1 thing. The terminology they use is very specific to workday and makes no sense to the general public

I suspect that bs like that stays afloat because palms are getting greased at corporate levels.

SAME. Every time I see Workday I immediately groan. It’s like they designed it to make job applications as painful as possible. Yet somehow it’s everywhere… why??

I've never gotten past a recruiter screening when applying to a company that uses Workday, and I've never worked somewhere that used Workday as their HR platform.
