Set up HRIS Link job import with job requisitions enabled

Permissions: —

Product tier: Available for Expert subscription tier with HRIS Link add-on

With HRIS Link, you can programmatically import jobs from Workday®️ to Greenhouse Recruiting when job requisitions are enabled in Workday®️. To use HRIS Link with job import, you'll need to construct a RaaS (report as a service) in Workday®️ that meets Greenhouse Recruiting specifications.

This article is specific to customers with job requisitions enabled in Workday®️.

Report specifications (job requisitions)

Note: HRIS Link currently only supports Workday®️.

Use the table below to create your HRIS Link job import report. The primary business object in your report should be Job requisition.

Once constructed, enter the report URL and your ISU credentials in HRIS Link.

Note: HRIS Link relies on an exact match of the report column header. Some report column headers are required or case-sensitive. In most cases, you will need to override the default value when adding columns to your Workday®️ report. Reference the table below for more information.

Example

<wd:Report_Data>
<wd:Report_Entry>
          <wd:Opening_ID>201456</wd:Opening_ID>
          <wd:Requisition_ID>R100000</wd:Requisition_ID>
          <wd:Template_Job_ID>42002</wd:Template_Job_ID>
          <wd:Job_Name>Software Engineer</wd:Job_Name>

Recommended filters

We recommend that your HRIS Link job import report include all open and closed job requisitions. HRIS Link won't import closed jobs, but it will compare job statuses across Workday®️ and Greenhouse Recruiting to ensure parity.

Your HRIS Link job import report should exclude job requisitions that have been closed for longer than one (1) day. This filter allows HRIS Link to capture job status changes, while simultaneously preventing the report size from growing increasingly large.

Add custom fields to HRIS Link job import

In addition to the standard fields listed in the specifications above, HRIS Link supports importing data into custom job fields of all types.

For all fields, the report column header must match either the custom field immutable key (like cost_center) or the field name (like Cost Center) in Greenhouse Recruiting.

Use the table below to explore supported data formats based on the corresponding Greenhouse Recruiting custom field type.

Note: Viewing your HRIS Link job import report in SimpleXML format helps ensure each column is formatted as expected.
