Applicant Management

In a competitive job market, it’s critical to keep candidates engaged throughout the application and interview process. Workday brings together all candidates – internal and external, as well as active and passive- into one place, making them easier to manage. Workday allows applicants to easily view and apply to open positions on our internal or external career sites.  


Job Requisitions

Workday Recruiting makes it easy to create job requisitions and manage the process all the way through fulfillment in one system.  You can even develop confidential job requisitions that only allow access to a select group of people, providing a higher level of security for those sensitive requisitions. 

For GVSU’s consistent staffing needs, you can use Workday’s Evergreen Requisitions to get the job done. By using evergreen requisitions, you are making it easier to manage the candidate pipeline, target specific areas of high employee turnover, and fill critical jobs more efficiently.  Workday’s system allows you to create these requisitions to track vacant positions, manage talent pools, and recruit for continually open job opportunities.  


Sourcing

The first and most important step in assembling an amazing GVSU team of employees is building a healthy pipeline of qualified professionals, including internal and external candidates from any career site, job board, or referral.  


Social Media Integration

Social Media has become the fastest-growing channel for recruiters today. With Workday, you can extend your core candidate management system with connectors for social media, online job postings, career sites, and other digital talent acquisition efforts. 

Hiring

Once you’ve identified your top candidate, it’s time to hire. Workday Recruiting offers several features to streamline this part of the process across GVSU including the offer approval and appointment letter creation. 


Candidate Selection

Workday provides real-time visibility for the entire hiring team from any device.  Search chairs or hiring managers can communicate about a candidate’s status and collaborate on selection, helping to make everyone part of the process and driving home the fact that hiring is really a team effort. 


Offer Management

Every minute counts when you’re ready to extend an offer.  Workday shortens the time between selecting and offering with configurable workflows, compensation tools, and an easy-to-sign offer letter.  


Onboarding

Finally, the letter is signed and you’re ready to bring that new candidate officially onto the GVSU team.  Onboarding is the first impression a candidate has of working at the university, and you want to make it a memorable and positive one. There is a seamless onboarding experience from the time the offer is accepted to a candidate’s first day on the job.
