⏱
The average Workday application takes 8 extra minutes to fix manually.
Hunting through dropdowns to find your school, re-entering your degree, realizing your field of study didn't parse — on every single application. With 15+ Workday applications in a typical job search, that's 2+ hours of tedious form-filling. ZippyElf gets it right the first time.

The Workday problem most people don't know about.

Workday doesn't just read your resume — it tries to categorize it. Your school gets matched against a master list. So does your degree type, and your field of study. Every company that uses Workday maintains its own version of those lists.

"University of California, Berkeley" might be stored as "UC Berkeley" at one company and "University of California-Berkeley" at another. If the match fails, your education data saves as freeform text — invisible to recruiter filters.

✓ School name normalization ✓ Degree label matching ✓ Field of study lookup
