What are the three different ways pre-hire records can be created in Workday HCM?

• A. Manually
• B. Through Workday Recruiting
• C. Through an integration
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

In Workday HCM, a pre-hire record can be created in multiple ways to cover different recruitment scenarios. You can enter the candidate directly in the Workday UI—manual creation by a recruiter or HR staff for internal hires or when bringing someone into the system outside of an online application. You can also create a pre-hire record through Workday Recruiting, which happens as part of the standard applicant flow when someone applies to a job or is moved through the recruiting process. Finally, you can create pre-hire records via an integration, where data is pushed from external systems (like an external ATS or HRIS) into Workday using integration methods such as EIBs or web services. Since all three paths are valid and supported, the correct answer is that all of the above.
