What is Workday and who uses it

By the NanoScrape team - Published 2026-09-02 - Updated 2026-09-02

Workday is one of the top Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by large enterprises. Our September 2026 audit of the Fortune 500 identified 118 companies running Workday as their primary careers-page platform, making it the workday platform in the F500 by count.

The NanoScrape Career Site Jobs Scraper talks to Workday's public JSON API directly (HTTP-only, no browser required) and returns structured job records at $1 per 1,000 jobs. This tutorial gives you the verified list of F500 Workday companies plus a ready-to-run actor input to scrape their jobs.

Workday URL and API pattern

Workday careers pages follow this URL pattern:

URL pattern:  https://{tenant}.wd{N}.myworkdayjobs.com/{site}
API endpoint: /wday/cxs/{tenant}/{site}/jobs
How the actor detects Workday: pass any known Workday careers URL as a string in the queries array. The actor auto-detects the platform from the URL pattern and calls the correct endpoint. Alternatively, pass an explicit platform object: {"platform": "workday", "company": URL}.

Fortune 500 companies on Workday

All 118 Fortune 500 companies running Workday, showing the top 30 by F500 rank. The complete list is in the interactive F500 careers table.

STEP 1

Example actor run: first 5 Workday F500 companies

Copy this input into the actor's Input tab (JSON editor mode) to scrape jobs from the top 5 F500 companies on this ATS:

{
  "queries": [
    "https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/login",",
    "https://centene.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/centene_external",
    "https://verizon.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/verizon-careers/userHome",
    "https://mpc.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/MPCCareers",
    "https://target.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/targetcareers/login?redirect=%2Ftargetcareers%2FuserHome"
  ],
  "maxJobsPerCompany": 500,
  "includeDescription": true
}
Batch tip: the actor accepts up to 500 URLs per run and processes them in parallel. A single run against all 118 F500 Workday deployments typically finishes in under 20 minutes and returns thousands of jobs at $1 per 1,000.

Output schema for Workday

The actor emits fleet-standard field names across all 24 supported ATS platforms. Field availability for Workday:

Known limitations

Some tenants require login (private-jobs mode). No WAF issues on public deployments.

Deployment-specific issues: a small number of F500 Workday tenants are behind hardened WAF configurations that block HTTP-only scraping. See the Career Site Jobs Scraper actor page for the current 'Known Unsupported Deployments' table and workarounds using the browser variant.

FAQ

How many Fortune 500 companies use Workday?

Our September 2026 audit identified 118 F500 companies running Workday, representing 23.6% of the Fortune 500. This may shift by 5-15% year over year as companies migrate between ATS platforms.

Do I need a login or API key to scrape Workday?

No. Workday public careers pages are designed for public consumption by job aggregators and search engines. The NanoScrape Career Site Jobs Scraper uses the same public endpoints without authentication.

Can I scrape non-F500 companies that use Workday?

Yes. The actor works for any Workday deployment worldwide, not just F500. Pass the careers URL as a string in the queries array (or as a {"platform": "workday"} object). The F500 list in this tutorial is a starting reference for the largest employers.

What is the difference between Workday and Workday for scraping?

Different ATS platforms have different API shapes, field availability, and pagination approaches. See our F500 ATS market share study for a full comparison. The Career Site Jobs Scraper handles all 24 supported ATS platforms with normalized output field names.

How often does the actor's ATS support list update?

New ATS platforms are added roughly every 4-8 weeks based on customer requests and F500 migration trends. See the actor README's Coming Soon section for the current roadmap.
