The Center on Workplace AI invites you to join our AI Case Study series for an in-depth conversation with Allison Joyce, VP and Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Workday, on how the company transformed its recruiting function from reactive administration into a data-driven strategic partner to the business.
Workday’s recruiters were spending an estimated 24,000 hours per year screening candidates who didn’t meet basic job qualifications, while interview scheduling dragged on for days. By embedding AI directly into recruiters’ core workflows, Workday cut screening volume by 57%, reduced scheduling time to hours, and freed recruiters to focus on candidate engagement and hiring manager partnership. Hear how Workday overcame recruiter hesitancy to trust AI-driven candidate scores, what it took to standardize processes so the technology could actually work, and why leadership insisted AI become part of recruiters’ “natural habitat” rather than an optional add-on.
