Applicant (Candidate & Application) Feed Requirements

Applicant (Candidate & Application) Feed Requirements

The applicant feed provides candidate and job application data from Workday to Radancy to support Radancy products that require applicant-level information.

Products Consuming Applicant Data

Applicant data may be consumed by the following Radancy products:

  • CRM (bi-directional integration)
  • Screening & Scheduling (bi-directional integration)
  • Insights & Analytics (data ingestion)
  • Employee Referrals (data ingestion)

Applicant Feed Directions by Product

ProductDirection
CRMWorkday → Radancy (applicant data) and Radancy → Workday (status updates)
Screening & SchedulingWorkday → Radancy (applicant synchronization) and Radancy → Workday (stage/status updates)
Insights & AnalyticsWorkday → Radancy
Employee ReferralsWorkday → Radancy
Hosted ApplyRadancy → Workday (application submission)

Applicant Data Extraction (Workday → Radancy)

Applicant data is retrieved from Workday using custom Advanced RaaS reports built on the Job Application and Candidate business objects.

In some implementations, Workday Web Services (SOAP APIs) may be used to retrieve additional candidate profile information such as resume attachments or related candidate metadata.

Core Applicant Feed Data Requirements

Universal Required Fields

  • Applicant ID (ATS unique identifier)
  • Application ID
  • Req ID
  • Email Address (primary unique identifier in Radancy)
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Application Status (Main + Sub)
  • Start Date / Hire Date

CRM / I&A Required Fields

  • Application Date
  • Applicant Profile Updated Date
  • Application Updated Date
  • Job Title
  • Application Source
  • Status Updated Date

Recommended for CRM

  • Resume document (only available via API integrations)
  • Education history
  • Work experience
  • Skills

A detailed canonical applicant field model is maintained in the Applicant Intake & Field Model.

Applicant RaaS Design Expectations

Applicant feeds typically rely on a custom Advanced RaaS report configured to return new or updated job applications from Workday.

Key design expectations include:

  • Report Type: Advanced Custom Report
  • Primary Business Object: Job Application
  • Output Format: Simple XML (via Workday RaaS)
  • Enabled as Web Service
  • Shared with the Integration System User (ISU)

Prompts (commonly used):

  • State Date
  • End Date

Filtering Logic (typical implementation):

  • Application Updated Date between Start and End prompts

Grain:

  • One row per application (not per candidate)

This structure allows Radancy to support multiple TAC platform products—including CRM, Screening & Scheduling, Insights & Analytics, and Employee Referrals—from a shared applicant data feed.
