Steps: Set Up Machine Learning for Recruiting

Steps: Set Up Machine Learning for Recruiting

For suggested jobs, configure the
Candidate as Self
 security group to enable modify access on these domains in the Recruiting functional area:
  • Self-Service: Candidate
  • Self-Service: External Recommended Jobs
You can enable machine learning for Recruiting to display:
  • Suggested skills on job applications, job requisitions, and the
    Prospect Introduce Yourself
     page.
  • Suggested jobs to external candidates.
  • Skills Cloud skills to create dynamic candidate pools.
Candidates can view and select suggested skills when entering skills on their job application. Workday bases the suggestions on an external candidate’s uploaded documents when using the
Quick Apply
 option. For internal candidates, the suggested skills are based on several factors from the worker profile, such as their:
  • Skills
  • Current job title and job description
  • Job history
  • Projects
  • Public feedback
  • Completed Learning courses
You can view suggested skills for job requisitions on the
Skills
 section when you create or edit a job requisition. Workday bases suggested skills on similar worker profiles and the data that you enter for these fields on the
Job
 section:
  • Job Posting Title
  • Job Description
  • Additional Job Description
  • Job Description Summary
Prospects can view and select suggested skills on the
Prospect Introduce Yourself
 page. Candidate Engagement customers can enable prospects to select skills when they register for a recruiting event.
External candidates can view active job suggestions on the:
  • Candidate Home
     page of an external career site.
  • Job Posting
    page, whether they sign in to their account or not.
Workday suggests jobs based on jobs the candidate:
  • Applies to.
  • Views.

There’s a delay from when you enable Skills Cloud and our background jobs complete processing maintained skills in your tenant. Workday displays suggested jobs within 24 hours. When you post a new job requisition or update an existing one, Workday displays those changes in the Suggested Jobs section within 24 hours. For creating dynamic candidate pools using Skills Cloud skills, we recommend waiting a minimum of 1 week before reviewing the remaining maintained skills and the results from your dynamic candidate pool.
