Predictive Index to Workday Integration: How to Connect Predictive Index with Workday

With data integration, candidate details move from Workday into Predictive Index when a candidate reaches the step and status you choose, and the behavioral and cognitive results come back onto the Workday candidate profile as PDFs. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. You choose the step and status in your Workday talent acquisition workflow that triggers an assessment, and your selections for each job decide the assessment type — behavioral, or both behavioral and cognitive.

With data integration, candidate details sync — the candidate name, the email address, and the recruiter or collaborator name — sent from Workday into Predictive Index. Behavioral and cognitive test results travel the other way, back onto the Workday candidate profile, with the Behavioral Report, the Cognitive Report, and the Interview Guide attached as PDFs. You can also add background checks, learning management, equity systems, one-time payments, and banking and tax data as separate use cases.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for Workday with Predictive Index is fully deployed in 2–4 weeks. It also scores assessments a candidate completed before the integration was built, so a candidate who has already tested is not asked to test again. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

With data integration, when a candidate reaches the step you choose in your Workday hiring workflow, Predictive Index sends the assessment automatically and the results come back onto the candidate’s Workday profile. That removes an average of 20 minutes of project management and manual data entry per candidate.

The best way to connect Predictive Index to Workday depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
