Seriously, why would you want to go back?!?
Unless your an executive under BE in tech.
Neither.
Insanity to return to cesspool.
Don't waste your time applying internally. Once you tell the recruiter that you are displaced, they try to make it sound like the job is not right for you and you will never hear back.
Dont come back to wf you left for a very good reason
definitely through the corporate site but best option is to get a referral for the role from someone who knows the hiring manager. barring that, a referral in workday from any wf employee
Do you want to apply at a place that's basically a social network with resume farming job posts, or do you want to apply directly with an organization that's actively laying people off for at least the next 3 years?
too funny you want to go back
Better to apply direct through WF site. If you are WF employee, go thru Internal hire process. But noticed Workday app form forces you to add info like Education grad dates or manually type in resp. by job -- even though as an employee HR should have access to this info. Internal process manual and painful, which I sus intentional. Education dates give HM/Recruiter a way to filter out people by sus age range. Making internal app process difficult discourages EMPLOYEES people from applying - but we all that is the goal anyway. Also check Post Date and End date on JD. If gap between Post Date and End Date less than a week, assume JD is phantom (they already have someone lined up.). Have seen a few where "new" JD's with Post and End dates less than 48 hours apart. Sus.
Why would this be different at any company? You always apply at the company’s website.
Don't apply. Working at WF is horrible!
If you apply for a job via any other site than the company that has the position, your résumé will be harvested, and you will be flooded with email, and probably fake offers
Go to walamrt the pay and benes are beter
Directly!
Apply directly with WF Careers website. That is what I did and got rehired.
Always apply directly through company site
