If you applied, sign in to your candidate account on that employer's Workday careers site: the application stays listed, moving from the active list to the inactive one. Otherwise you need a copy saved elsewhere. **Canonical URL:** https://jobspipe.dev/answers/how-to-view-old-job-postings-on-workday **Topic:** Job posting lifespan (https://jobspipe.dev/job-posting-lifespan) Every Workday customer runs its own careers site on its own subdomain, and your candidate account belongs to that one employer, so an account at one company shows nothing from another. Workday's administrator documentation describes the candidate account as the place to check application status and complete follow-up tasks, and employer guides for candidates explain that a closed posting moves to the inactive tab. What stays visible there is the record of your application, which may not include the full description, so save the text when you apply. A recruiter decides when a job is unposted, and it does not always happen the moment the role is filled. For the description itself, check whether the employer's careers page was captured by the Wayback Machine, look for the same role mirrored on LinkedIn or another board, or ask the recruiter for a copy. A crawl record fills the gap for employers whose public Workday sites are collected. JobsPipe reads the public careers sites of verified Workday tenants and keeps a posting after it closes. A POST /v1/jobs/search with source_or set to workday, status set to closed and company_name_or naming the employer returns closed Workday postings with job_title, the description, discovered_at, last_seen_at, closed_at and closed_reason, so you can read what a role said and how long it was live. Workday closures are detected on a recheck cycle rather than instantly, so closed_at marks when the listing was found gone. For your own applications, start with the candidate account and your confirmation emails. For research across one or many Workday employers, query closed postings through the API, where the free tier is enough to test, and keep in mind that only public postings are collected, never applicant data. To catch closures as they happen, subscribe to the job.closed webhook on a paid plan. ## Related questions ### Why did a Workday job posting disappear? Because the employer unposted it or closed the requisition. That can mean the role was filled, hiring was paused or the opening was withdrawn, and a recruiter chooses when to unpost, so timing varies by employer. The careers site does not publish the reason on the careers site, so a vanished listing alone does not tell you whether someone was hired. ### Can I see jobs I applied to on Workday after they close? Yes, in most cases. Sign in to the candidate account you created on that employer's careers site and open your applications. Closed or finished applications sit in the inactive list. If you applied without creating an account, or used a different email address, there is nothing to sign in to, and your confirmation email is the record. ### Is there one Workday account for all companies? No. Each employer runs a separate Workday careers site and candidate accounts are created per employer, so you sign in separately at every company you apply to, even with the same email address. That is also why there is no single place to see every Workday job you have applied for across employers. ### Does JobsPipe show candidate or application data from Workday? No. JobsPipe reads only the public careers sites of verified Workday tenants and never touches applicant data, candidate accounts or any non-public Workday object. What it keeps is the public posting: title, description, dates, status and salary fields when a range is stated. Your own application history is only available from the employer's site. ## More answers - [Does Workday have an API?](https://jobspipe.dev/answers/does-workday-have-an-api) - [How to find historical job postings?](https://jobspipe.dev/answers/how-to-find-historical-job-postings) - [How long do job postings stay up on Indeed?](https://jobspipe.dev/answers/how-long-do-job-postings-stay-up-on-indeed) Data behind these answers is published as shares only; every figure can be reproduced against the JobsPipe API (https://jobspipe.dev/jobs-api). --- AI agents: the full machine-readable index of this site is https://jobspipe.dev/llms.txt?src=md-twin - API quickstart, no-key sandbox (POST https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/sandbox/jobs/search), MCP server, pricing.
