Reading the posting
Dedicated reader
Workday has a dedicated reader: title, company, location, description and requirements are read from the page structure itself, so the match score and the tailored documents start from clean text.

Apply on Workday with Jobiko
Workday is one of the platforms the Jobiko extension runs on. Here is exactly what it does there, how an application moves from posting to submission, and what stays in your hands.
Filling the application form
Workday has a form map: the extension knows where Workday puts its standard fields, such as name, contact details, links and the resume upload. Questions specific to the employer are matched to your profile by their label.
Where the extension is active
workday.commyworkdayjobs.com
On Workday, it runs only on these domains.
What's specific to Workday
- Workday pages carry the posting as structured data, even on the later steps of an application, so Jobiko reads the right role even if you open the Apply page first.
- A Workday application runs over several pages. Autofill fills the page in front of you (legal name, email, phone, resume upload and any questions it can answer from your profile), tells you which fields still need you, and leaves the Next button to you.
- Most employers on Workday ask you to sign in or create an account first. Jobiko never fills a password: it waits while you sign in, then picks up on the same page.
- Workday's legal notice and any cookie banner that only offers Accept are never clicked for you. Where a banner offers Reject all, the extension may use it to clear the form.
How an application on Workday goes
Extract the posting
Open the Workday posting, open the Jobiko side panel and press Extract. Jobiko reads the role and shows how well it matches your profile.
Tailor the documents
Jobiko writes a resume and a cover letter for that posting from what you have actually done, and shows you both.
Review, then submit
Autofill puts your answers into the Workday form. By default nothing is sent until you have checked every field and pressed Workday's own submit button, or approved it in the auto-apply queue. If you turn on Auto-approve on the Auto-apply screen, auto-apply submits for you instead, with a short window to undo each one.
Auto-apply uses the same autofill on these platforms. By default it waits for your approval before anything is submitted; you can turn on Auto-approve on the Auto-apply screen. How auto-apply works →
Questions
- Does Jobiko submit applications on Workday by itself?
- Not unless you turn that on. By default, on Workday as everywhere, every answer and both documents are shown to you before anything is sent. If you turn on Auto-approve on the Auto-apply screen, Jobiko submits for you, and you can switch it off at any time.
- What happens when the Workday form asks something my profile does not have?
- The field is handed back to you, highlighted, with the rest of the form filled. Jobiko does not pick the closest-looking option to keep things moving.
- What does Jobiko send to AI providers for an application on Workday?
- The posting text and the parts of your profile needed to tailor the documents and map unfamiliar form fields. The privacy policy lists the providers and what each receives.
- Is Workday included on the free plan?
- Extracting postings and the tracker are. Autofill and auto-apply are part of the Basic and Pro plans (100 and 200 autofills a month).
