This article shows how the HiringBranch integration with Workday functions. Our goal was to make the connection as lightweight as possible for your team. We use a secure, guided configuration wizard that handles the complexity of the API handshake for you.

Here is a visual overview of the setup and the resulting workflow.

1. Guided Configuration

Kick off your setup on your HiringBranch dashboard’s Integration page. Instead of manual coding, we use a step-by-step flow to authenticate your Workday tenant. You simply input your REST API Endpoint, Client ID, and Client Secret.

Follow the links in the connection flow for detailed step-by-step instructions on connecting your Workday tenant.

Key Security Features:

• Service User: We guide you through creating a dedicated Integration Service User (ISU) with specific, limited permissions (e.g., Get Only: Job Requisition Data).
• API Client: We’ll show you how to register an API client dedicated to this connection, and how to get the client ID and secret.
• Validation: The system validates the credentials in real-time before finalizing the link.

2. Instant Verification

Once the credentials are verified, the connection is live immediately. You will see a "Connected" status in your dashboard, confirming that data can now flow between the two systems.

3. Configure your roles & job requisitions

We’ll then help you load your HiringBranch roles into Workday and connect them to your job requisition. Kombo, our integration partner, has a detailed guide on importing your assessment packages to Workday. Check it out here.

4. The Workflow: Assessment & Results

Once this connection is established, the candidate experience is fully automated. For detailed instructions on setting up your Workday job, check Kombo’s help article showing how assessments work.

• Assessment Trigger: You can assess candidates individually or set up bulk invites with a default assessment. HiringBranch automatically detects the trigger and emails the assessment invitation.
