With Workday's AI agents for HR, teams can automate interview scheduling and reduce processes from days to just minutes. With 80% of their HR processes safely automated, recruiters at Medtronic spend less time on routine tasks and more time making strategic decisions, like hiring the next innovators in healthcare.
