Give one example of an integration to Workday HCM and an integration from Workday HCM.

• A. To Workday: Recruiting systems; From Workday: Charles Schwab
• B. To Workday: Payroll; From Workday: IBM
• C. To Workday: Time tracking; From Workday: Amazon
• D. To Workday: Benefits; From Workday: Google

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that Workday HCM integrates with external systems in two directions: data can flow into Workday from external systems (to Workday) and data can flow out from Workday to external systems (from Workday). A realistic pairing would show both directions.

In this example, bringing in data from a recruiting system to Workday illustrates a typical to-Workday integration. Recruiting systems feed candidate records, job postings, and interview data into Workday so the HR team can manage hiring within the HCM platform. For the from-Workday side, sending data to a retirement or benefits provider like Charles Schwab shows how Workday pushes employee benefit or retirement enrollment details to an external service to complete the setup or payroll allocations. This combination demonstrates a coherent two-direction workflow: inbound data into Workday and outbound data from Workday to a downstream vendor.

Other options pair inbound or outbound directions with providers that aren’t as representative of common Workday HCM data flows (for example, mixing time tracking or payroll with outbound partners that aren’t standard benefits or payroll vendors). That makes the chosen pairing the most realistic and aligned with typical integration patterns.
