Workday and TechWolf:
Better together.

Workday Skills Cloud is the system of record that stores and standardizes skills across Workday applications, while TechWolf is the intelligence layer that creates, enriches, and continuously maintains high-quality skills data. TechWolf goes beyond Workday by inferring skills from external work systems, determining proficiency and criticality, building customer-specific taxonomies, enabling governance and validation in the flow of work, and benchmarking skills against labor market trends—ensuring Workday’s skills-based use cases actually work in practice.

Skills can live wherever the customer chooses. In practice, most Workday customers use Workday as their system of record where skills are stored and activated. TechWolf enriches and maintains skills behind the scenes and delivers them into the chosen system, while providing a governance interface for oversight and control rather than an employee-facing UI.

Workday’s machine learning uses Skills Cloud as the data foundation for matching. By enriching this data source, TechWolf indirectly informs their AI in matching and recommendations across Opportunity Marketplace, job suggestions, candidate matching (including HiredScore), learning recommendations, People Analytics, and projects.

Through continuous AI inference, ingestion of new HR and business data, external labor-market signals, and human validation via governance tools and the Skill Assistant.

TechWolf powers Workday’s Skills Cloud across Talent Optimization, Learning, Analytics, and Recruiting by providing a high-quality, consistent skills foundation. This enables accurate matching for internal mobility (Career Hub, Talent Marketplace, Flex Teams), career pathing and upskilling (Career Path Builder, Learning Recommendations), workforce planning (People Analytics), and skills-based hiring (HiredScore, Recruiting).

By avoiding empty or outdated profiles, TechWolf enables organizations to activate Workday skills use cases within weeks rather than months.

No. TechWolf helps bring the broader HR tech stack together by connecting skills data across systems organizations already use, such as Workday, people analytics platforms like Visier, and other HR and business tools.

HR systems (HRIS, LMS, job architecture) and business systems (project tools, ticketing, code repositories, documents), plus external labor-market data. Effectively, having an inside-out and outside-in view that provides a complete and contextual skills picture.

No. TechWolf can operate independently and later sync with Skills Cloud when available.

Skills represent the ability to perform a specific task or apply specific knowledge (for example, Python or financial modeling).In Workday, skills are the foundation for AI-driven use cases, including matching, recommendations, and workforce insights across products like Talent Marketplace, Recruiting, Learning recommendations, and People Analytics.Competencies are broader behavioral or proficiency-based constructs, often used to describe how work is performed rather than what is done.In Workday, competencies are primarily used in performance management and assessment scenarios, such as performance reviews, feedback, and development discussions, and are not the primary driver of Workday’s AI matching or skills intelligence.

TechWolf is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 Type II attested, minimizes PII, supports pseudonymization, and provides full transparency and deletion controls.
