Why Certn + Workday?

Certn for Workday helps you move faster, without layering on more tools or manual work. It’s screening that just works, right where your team already does.

Checks trigger automatically

When a candidate hits your configured background check stage, Certn launches the right check instantly using event-based logic. No batch polling or manual triggers.

Live status updates, synced to Workday

We push real-time updates directly into Workday using REST APIs, so your team always knows where things stand without leaving your ATS.

Enterprise-grade security and scalability

Our integration uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and supports permissioned access, audit trails, and status mapping for clean handoffs and full visibility.

Admin-friendly setup, built to last

Built on Workday Core Connectors, Certn’s integration is stable, upgrade-safe, and easy to configure. Step-by-step setup with pre-mapped fields means you can go live in 1–2 days. No custom code required.

Candidate experience built in

Mobile-first workflows, auto-filled data from Workday, and multi-language support come standard. So you can scale globally without slowing down.
