Workday Finalizes Acquisition of Paradox

Workday, Inc., the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, has officially completed its acquisition of Paradox, a conversational AI-driven candidate experience agent.

By bringing Paradox into Workday, we're making that possible for our customers by enabling them to move faster and deliver a better candidate experience – for every type of worker, and every type of role – from the frontline to the back office."

Adam Godson, CEO of Paradox, added: "We built Paradox to make hiring simpler and more human with AI. Joining Workday means we can bring that vision to more organizations, helping recruiters spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time building real connections with candidates."
