Your profile generally doesn't carry over between employers, which is why the process feels repetitive."},{title:"Your resume is parsed into structured fields",body:"After you upload a resume, Workday typically pre-fills structured fields — work history, education, skills — from it, and shows you the result for review before you submit. What lands in those fields is what the employer's recruiting team works with."},{title:'You answer screening ("knockout") questions',body:"Employers commonly configure yes/no or numeric questions — work authorization, required years of experience, certifications. Based on how employers use these across systems, disqualifying answers here are a far more common cause of fast rejections than anything about your resume's wording."},{title:"Recruiters review inside Workday's tools",body:"From there, the employer's recruiters typically work through applicants using Workday's review and search tools.

Fast automated rejections typically come from knockout screening questions (work authorization, required experience) rather than resume content.
