Workday
Workday's matching tools work on profiles already in your system: inbound applications, past candidates, internal mobility. If the right profile is not in there, Workday cannot find it. Kalent accesses 200M+ external passive profiles. It identifies candidates who match your role, enriches their contact details and reaches out on LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Email. They arrive in Workday qualified and ready to move forward in your process.
Start free 7-day trialWorkday manages your recruiting workflows with enterprise-grade precision. But the platform does not source profiles from outside your ATS. For recurring high-volume roles, job postings and inbound applications alone often fall short. Kalent identifies matching profiles from an external database, launches multichannel outreach sequences and exports interested candidates into Workday. You increase the number of qualified candidates entering your pipeline without adding headcount to your recruiting team.
