The lightweight alternative to Workday Recruiting
Workday Recruiting is a module of an enterprise HR suite, built for large companies already running Workday. If you are a small team that needs to hire, you do not need a suite. You need an ATS.

Zliptal vs Workday Recruiting: your questions
Why teams choose Zliptal over Workday Recruiting, and when they should not.
Workday Recruiting makes sense when the rest of your HR already runs on Workday. For a small team it is a lot of suite to buy and implement just to post jobs and review applicants. Zliptal does that job directly, with AI scoring on every applicant, for $39 a month.
Workday does not publish prices for Recruiting; it is sold by quote as part of the wider suite. Zliptal is public: Pro at $39/month and Max at $59/month, with unlimited jobs, candidates and team members and no implementation fee.
Yes. Workday is an implementation project, usually run with an administrator or partner. Zliptal is a sign-up: add your job, share your careers page and start receiving scored applicants the same day.
For hiring, yes. If you are small enough that you do not run Workday for core HR, Zliptal covers jobs, applicants, scoring, interviews and offers. It does not do payroll, benefits or employee records.
Stay with Workday Recruiting if you already run Workday HCM and need hiring tied to one employee record, enterprise compliance and global rollout. Zliptal is not an HR suite and has no payroll or core HR.
Yes. There is no self-serve import yet, so the simplest path is to start new roles in Zliptal and let Workday Recruiting finish the roles already in progress. Email us and we will help you get set up.
