Workday, Inc. the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced it has completed its acquisition of Paradox, a candidate experience agent that uses conversational AI to simplify every step of the job application journey, particularly for frontline industries.
With Paradox, Workday now has a unified end-to-end AI-powered talent acquisition suite that helps companies hire faster, improve recruiter efficiency, and deliver a better candidate experience every step of the way.
"As competition for talent intensifies, hiring needs to be quick, personal, and engaging," said Aashna Kircher, group general manager for the office of the CHRO, Workday. "By bringing Paradox into Workday, we're making that possible for our customers by enabling them to move faster and deliver a better candidate experience – for every type of worker, and every type of role – from the frontline to the back office."
"We built Paradox to make hiring simpler and more human with AI," said Adam Godson, CEO, Paradox. "Joining Workday means we can bring that vision to more organizations, helping recruiters spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time building real connections with candidates."
