In Workday HCM, job management supervisory organizations rely on hiring restrictions to control which workers can be hired. These restrictions can be set at the organization level to govern hiring eligibility based on attributes such as job profile, location, worker type, and time type. When an organization anticipates hiring workers across multiple locations and multiple job profiles, Workday Pro HCM best practices emphasize configuring hiring restrictions to allow the greatest flexibility while avoiding unnecessary administrative maintenance.
Selecting the No Job Restrictions checkbox when setting the organization’s hiring restrictions is the most effective approach in this scenario. This option removes job-based limitations, allowing the organization to hire workers into any job profile and location without repeatedly updating restrictions. It is especially appropriate for new or growing organizations where hiring needs are expected to change frequently.
The other options introduce inefficiency and risk. Updating each position’s hiring restrictions is not applicable in job management, as job management does not use discrete position objects. Selecting all locations and job profiles during position creation is both impractical and restrictive, as it requires constant updates when new jobs or locations are added. Updating the organization’s hiring restrictions every time a new worker is hired increases administrative overhead and raises the likelihood of errors or delayed hires.
From a Workday Pro HCM perspective, the No Job Restrictions setting is designed specifically to support broad, flexible hiring needs while still allowing downstream processes—such as recruiting, compensation, and reporting—to function correctly. Therefore, choosing this option ensures maximum hiring flexibility and aligns with Workday’s recommended configuration approach for job management organizations.
