How to place Workday job listings on your WordPress

Posted on by Prakash Tiwari

If your company uses Workday to manage job listings, you may want to show those jobs on your WordPress website. This helps job seekers apply directly from your site. It also gives you more control over how Workday job listings look and where they appear.

Workday does not offer a direct WordPress plugin. So you have to use other methods to place the listings.

In this guide, I will show you how to place Workday job listings on your WordPress site in easy and clear steps. 

What Is Workday?

Workday is a human resource and recruiting tool. Many big companies use it to post job openings. It handles job applications, employee data, and internal hiring.

But Workday listings usually appear on a separate Workday-hosted page. This means visitors leave your website when they click “Careers” or “Apply Now.”

You can change that. You can bring those job listings into your WordPress site using one of the methods below.

Method 1: Link to the Workday Job Page

The easiest method is to link to your Workday job portal.

Steps:

  1. Go to your Workday career site
  2. Copy the job listings URL (something like https://companyname.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs)
  3. Open your WordPress dashboard
  4. Create a new page (name it Careers or Jobs)
  5. Add a button or link to the Workday page
  6. Use text like “View Current Openings”

Example Button HTML:

<a href=”https://companyname.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs” target=”_blank” class=”job-button”>View Open Jobs</a>

This keeps things simple. But the job listings stay on the Workday site. You don’t control the layout or styling.

Method 2: Embed Workday Job Listings Using an Iframe

If you want to show job listings inside your WordPress site, you can embed them using an iframe.

Steps:

  1. Get the Workday job listing URL
  2. Go to Pages > Add New
  3. Switch to the Code Editor or use a Custom HTML block
  4. Paste this iframe code:

<iframe src=”https://companyname.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/jobs” width=”100%” height=”1200px” style=”border:0;”></iframe>

  1. Save and publish the page

Note:

  • Make sure your Workday site allows embedding

  • Not all Workday portals allow iframe embedding due to security settings

If the iframe doesn’t work, move to another method.

Method 3: Use RSS Feed or XML Feed (If Available)

Some companies can get an RSS or XML feed of their job listings from Workday. If your company has that option, you can use it to show job data on WordPress.

How to Use the Feed:

  1. Ask your HR or IT team if an RSS or XML feed is available
  2. Install a plugin like WP RSS Aggregator
  3. Go to RSS Aggregator > Add New
  4. Paste the feed URL
  5. Choose how many jobs to show
  6. Save and insert the shortcode into a page or post

Now the jobs appear on your site in a clean list. Clicking each one can lead to the full job on Workday.

Method 4: Use a Third-Party Job Integration Tool

Some companies use tools or middleware that pull jobs from Workday and display them on websites. These tools may offer better design control and tracking.

Common Job Integrators:

  • Jobvite
  • SmartRecruiters
  • CareerSiteCloud
  • Workday APIs (for advanced use)

You can ask your Workday admin if your company uses any of these. They often come with embed codes or plugins for WordPress.

Method 5: Manually Post Jobs in WordPress

This method takes more time, but gives you full control. You manually copy job details from Workday and create job listings in WordPress.

Steps:

  1. Create a new page for each job
  2. Add job title, location, department, and description
  3. Include a link to the actual application form on Workday
  4. Create a job listing page that links to all active jobs

This works well if you don’t have too many jobs. You control the layout and branding fully.

You can also use a plugin like:

These plugins let you add job listings inside WordPress with custom fields.

Method 6: Use Workday API (Advanced Users)

If you have development help, you can pull job data from Workday using its API.

This method needs:

  • API access from Workday
  • Developer who can write custom code
  • Code that fetches data and shows it in WordPress

This is the most flexible method. You can style and filter jobs however you want. But it needs more setup and maintenance.

Conclusion

You can place Workday job listings on your WordPress site in many ways. The best method depends on how much control you need, your budget, and how many jobs you post.
