Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), 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.
