• HiredScore AI for Recruiting Application

  Scores and ranks job candidates, surfaces likely-to-apply leads from existing talent databases and partner networks, and sends recruiters AI-driven task notifications inside Workday Recruiting and tools such as Microsoft Teams.

• Workday Paradox Candidate Experience AI agent

  A conversational AI agent that lets job candidates search and apply for roles, complete qualification screening and self-schedule interviews via chat, SMS or WhatsApp in over 30 languages.

Inside Workday

• Agent System of Record Agent platform

  Workday's hub for registering, managing and governing AI agents alongside the human workforce, with lifecycle management, third-party agent integration via an Agent Gateway, identity permissioning and an analytics view of agent activity.

• Sana Agent platform

  Workday's AI agent platform for HR, finance, IT and legal workflows, running on Workday's own transaction data -- rebranded from 'Illuminate' in March 2026 after Workday's $1.1B acquisition of Sana closed in November 2025.

• Workday Contract Intelligence Application

  AI-driven contract analysis and management, powered by Evisort AI, extracting insights from contract repositories via natural-language queries -- the analytical layer distinct from Workday's Contract Lifecycle Management, which handles the operational workflow.

Description

Official documentation · 6 Sep 2026

The page organises the offering as Agentic HR, Agentic Finance, Agentic IT and Agentic Legal, and describes Sana as "powerful intelligence that automates work across HR, finance, IT, and beyond" — it never says which agents automate versus assist, so "automate recruiting, payroll and financial workflows" named specifics the vendor does not. SEPARATE AND NOT ACTED ON HERE: the current AI page does not name Illuminate at all. Absence from one page is not proof of retirement, so the product name was dropped from a sentence that could no longer source it rather than declared dead.
