A bi-directional integration allows data to flow between two systems, ensuring they remain synchronized. In Radancy’s integration with Workday, data is both received from and sent back to Workday. However, this integration is purposefully scoped—Radancy only sends step and status updates back to Workday, ensuring that hiring teams have visibility into candidate engagement while maintaining Workday as the system of record.
How Radancy Integrates with Workday
Radancy’s CRM enhances recruitment workflows by syncing critical data between Workday and the CRM. The integration consists of two primary data flows:
- Inbound Data from Workday to Radancy CRM
- Job requisition and candidate application data are imported from Workday into Radancy’s CRM.
- Recruiters use this information for proactive candidate engagement, nurture campaigns, and pipeline management.
- Outbound Data from Radancy CRM to Workday
- Radancy CRM sends step and status updates back to Workday.
- This ensures that Workday reflects key engagement milestones.
To better understand the integration, here’s an example of how it functions in a real-world recruitment scenario:
- A recruiter sources a candidate using Radancy’s CRM, engaging them via job alerts or targeted email campaigns.
- The candidate applies for a position managed within Workday.
- The recruiter tracks the candidate’s engagement and updates their step and status in Radancy CRM.
- This step/status automatically syncs back to Workday, ensuring hiring teams in Workday stay informed.
- The recruiter continues engaging the candidate through Radancy’s CRM, while hiring managers in Workday focus on the interview and selection process.
Data Security & Compliance
- Data security is a priority when integrating with Workday.
- Radancy ensures that:
- All data exchanges between Radancy CRM and Workday are encrypted to protect sensitive information.
- The integration follows Workday’s API security protocols and adheres to best practices for data privacy and compliance.
- Workday remains the authoritative system of record, meaning that no core candidate data is modified—only step and status updates are transmitted.
Integration Requirements
To successfully implement the integration, customers should ensure the following prerequisites are met:
- Workday API Access: Customers must have Workday’s API enabled to facilitate data exchange.
- Data Mapping Alignment: Workday’s step/status fields should be properly mapped to Radancy CRM fields.
- User Permissions: Workday administrators may need to configure security roles to enable step/status updates.
These requirements ensure a smooth integration experience while maintaining data accuracy.
