Short version: Workday makes you re-enter your work history, education and the same application questions on every single job. A Chrome extension can auto-fill all of it from a profile you set up once. JobPrefill does exactly that — across any employer's Workday site, without your data ever leaving your device.
Why Workday applications are so repetitive
Thousands of companies run their hiring on Workday, so if you're applying to more than a handful of roles you'll meet the same multi-stage form again and again: Personal Information, Work Experience, Education, Skills, Application Questions, Voluntary Disclosures and Declarations. Workday's "upload your resume to autofill" feature parses inconsistently and usually leaves you correcting half the fields by hand.
The result is 15–20 minutes of retyping identical information per application — start months you can't remember, company names, addresses, work authorisation answers — before you've even reached the questions that actually differ between employers.
The faster way: auto-fill from a saved profile
Instead of re-parsing your resume every time, a dedicated Chrome extension stores your details once and fills the live Workday form deterministically — the same answer, in the right field, every time. Here's how it works with JobPrefill:
Set up your profile once
Enter your personal info, full work history, education, skills and standard declarations in the extension popup. It's encrypted and stored locally — it never leaves Chrome.
Open any Workday application
Navigate to a job on any employer's Workday careers site. The extension detects the page automatically. (If asked how to apply, choose Apply Manually.)
Click "Fill This Page"
Every field on the current stage fills instantly. Review it, then click Save & Continue. JobPrefill never auto-submits — you stay in control of what you send.
What gets filled
A good Workday autofill tool handles every stage, not just the first page. JobPrefill fills:
- Personal information and address
- Work experience, including multiple roles with dates and descriptions
- Education, with sensible fallbacks when a degree option doesn't match exactly
- Skills and voluntary disclosures
- Work authorisation, by country
- Resume upload (safely idempotent — it won't attach twice)
Every value comes from your saved profile. If a question doesn't match anything you've entered, the field is left blank for you to complete rather than filled with a guess.
Does one extension work across all Workday employers?
Yes. Each company runs its own Workday tenant at a different URL, but the underlying form structure is shared. JobPrefill matches fields by both Workday automation IDs and visible label text, so the same setup works across any employer — including ones with custom questions.
Is autofilling your application data safe?
It depends entirely on the tool. Many form-fillers sync your data to their servers. JobPrefill is built the opposite way: your profile is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored only in Chrome's local storage on your device. There's no telemetry, no tracking, and your profile is never transmitted. The only thing that ever reaches a server is the public wording of an unusual question — never your answer — and, for paid users, a licence key. Read the full Privacy Policy for details.
Bonus: It also works on Greenhouse & Lever!
While JobPrefill was originally built to tame Workday's incredibly long forms, it now also seamlessly supports 1-click auto-filling for Greenhouse and Lever job applications. The same privacy-first engine applies perfectly to those platforms too.
Try it on your next application
JobPrefill is free for up to 10 applications a month. When your search gets serious, a one-time 3-month pass removes the limit — no subscription, no auto-renew. See pricing or add it to Chrome and fill your next Workday form in one click.
