New Partnership Combines Workday Recruiting
Agent with Randstad's Expansive Talent Network to Instantly Connect
Recruiters with Top Talent, Making Hiring Faster and More Efficient
Than Ever Before
PLEASANTON, Calif., Feb. 26,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ:
WDAY), the AI platform for managing people and money, and Randstad,
the world's leading talent company, today announced a new strategic
partnership to transform how companies find and hire talent. By
integrating Workday's Recruiting Agent, powered by Illuminate, with
Randstad's extensive talent network, this collaboration will help
businesses quickly connect with top talent – reducing the
time-consuming search process, leading to faster and smarter hiring
decisions, and improving business outcomes.
AI-Powered Hiring, Simplified
According to the 2025
World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report, 42% of employers expect
talent availability to decline by 2030. Workday Recruiting Agent
acts as an intelligent coach for recruiters, using AI to instantly
surface qualified leads from past applicants, internal databases,
and now, Randstad's vast talent network. This means recruiters
spend less time sifting through resumes and more time engaging with
the specialized talent they need.
"Finding qualified talent in today's job market is one of the
biggest challenges for companies," said Matthew Brandt, senior vice president, global
partners, Workday. "By combining Workday's Recruiting Agent with
Randstad's unmatched talent network, we're making hiring easier and
more efficient than it's ever been. This is the future of work –
where AI and people collaborate to drive better outcomes."
Workday's Recruiting Agent processed over 700,000 job
requisitions in 2024, increasing customers' recruiting capacity by
an average of 54%. With the addition of Randstad's network,
customers will gain even greater benefits, including:
- Access to More Talent: Puts vast network of qualified
professionals with in-demand skills at recruiters' fingertips.
- Smarter Matching: AI helps recruiters identify the most
relevant and likely-to-apply talent, reducing time-to-fill and
improving application rates.
- Seamless Integration: Recruiters can access top leads
directly within their existing workflow – no system-hopping
required.
- Faster Hiring, Greater Agility: Organizations can
quickly fill critical roles by targeting top talent – boosting
productivity, improving the candidate experience, and reducing
hiring costs.
"We are excited to partner with Workday to accelerate the
matching of our specialized talent with meaningful opportunities,"
said Mike Smith, chief executive,
Randstad Enterprise. "At Randstad, we believe AI enhances human
expertise while driving efficiency and innovation, and this
partnership is a great example of how we're combining AI with our
deep understanding of talent to transform the world of work."
This expanded partnership builds on a history of collaboration
between Workday and Randstad and comes at a pivotal moment where,
according to Workday research, 93% of employees say AI allows them
to focus on higher-level responsibilities such as strategy and
problem-solving. This collaboration is another example of humans
and AI working together to achieve more than either could
alone.
