How to check when a Workday job was posted
Workday career sites publish a start date for each posting, and the checker reads it as the original posting date.
Which dates Workday publishes
The career site's job-detail data includes a startDate. The checker shows it as "Originally posted" with an age.
Workday's schema allows an optional end date, which the checker would treat as a closing date. No live Workday posting we checked included one. So for Workday, as for the others, don't expect a closing date or a "Last updated" line.
If the job is closed or missing
A 404 on a Workday posting tells the checker the job is gone, because an unknown company tenant answers with a 422 instead. The result is "Closed or no longer listed".
That makes Workday's closed result more specific than Greenhouse, Lever and SmartRecruiters, which can't tell a missing job from a missing board. If the tenant name is wrong, you won't get a closed result at all.
How to spot a Workday job
Workday addresses come in several shapes, all on the company's own Workday host:
{company}.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/{site}/job/{location}/{title}_{requisition}. Thewdnumber varies, and three-digit ones exist.- The same address with a language such as
en-US/before the site name. The language is optional. - A
/details/path with no location in place of/job/. wd5.myworkdaysite.com/recruiting/{company}/{site}/job/..., where the company moves into the path.
The requisition number is the part after the last underscore in the title slug, for example JR2014178.
Check a Workday link
Paste the company's apply link into the Job Age Checker. The checker makes one request to the career site's own host. LinkedIn and Indeed links are refused.
