Multiple users report poor resume scraping leading to manual work and application bugs

Read at g2.com

What happened

Users across small-business and mid-market companies consistently report poor resume scraping capabilities within Workday HCM's recruiting functionality. This forces applicants to manually re-enter details, leading to significant manual work, frequent bugs during the application process, and an overall clunky candidate experience, creating friction for both applicants and recruiters.

    “I think their scraping from resumes is poor, which means lots of manual work goes into the applications due to this issue. Some bugs occur throughout the application process. Workday needs better technology to transfer information from an imported resume to directly reflect correctly on a job application.”

    “When I apply for new jobs, I still have to enter my details manually even though I’ve already uploaded my resume on the website. Also, status updates are sometimes very rare, so it’s hard to know what’s happening with my application.”

    “Recruiting is the worst part of the Workday. As an admin it is fine for me, but for candidates it is not a friendly system, and sometimes it looks outdated.”
