Ashby and Workday: questions
Does Ashby integrate with Workday?
Yes, both ways. Ashby imports Workday positions and job requisitions as openings and jobs, and sends hired candidates back to Workday. It connects through several Workday APIs.
How often does Ashby sync with Workday?
Every 20 minutes, updating every field on open job requisitions and positions; organization admins can also click Sync Now.
What happens in Workday when a candidate is hired in Ashby?
You push the hire from the candidate profile and your Workday admin completes the hire employee business process in Workday. Ashby can attach the signed offer letter as a worker document.
Why does a filled Ashby opening show an unfilled Workday position?
Workday positions can be refilled many times, so Ashby creates a new opening, with -1, -2 and so on added to the position ID, each time a position re-opens. Recruit into the newest opening.
How do I change an offer after it was sent to Workday?
For small changes, Ashby recommends editing the details in Workday instead of sending the hire again. Large changes mean rescinding the hire in Workday, updating the offer in Ashby and sending it again.
Can Ashby sync custom Workday fields?
Yes. Each enabled job, opening or employee field becomes a custom field in Ashby, and Support can add Workday-delivered or calculated fields on request.
