Workday finally to release a single unified "Candidate Profile"

While it's about time, there's a pro and con list that should be considered.

|PRO|CON| |:-|:-| |Less repetitive job application info|The Stanford Study showed that "negative scores" (if automatic scoring is used) can repeat at another company's job application| |Faster applications|Privacy/Record retention concern| |Consistency in info to use|Potential inability to remove irrelevant/outdated info|

While it's just announced this week, there's still a lot to potentially look at when they roll it out. Not a huge fan of "universal online resumes" as sometimes someone doesn't want to disclose certain info (e.g., omit they worked in a certain industry, omit someone only worked at a company for <1 month, or omit compensation data they shared accidentally). Depending on how Workday controls the process, some of the examples may not matter.

Thoughts? Too late to matter or welcomed?
