Applicant Resources

The transition to Workday is designed to make the job application process more transparent and efficient for candidates. With Workday, you'll have access to a streamlined platform where you can easily apply for jobs, receive timely updates and manage your application details with greater ease.

To apply for jobs, you will need to create a new Workday account. Once logged in, you'll be directed to our main career site page, where you can search for job openings, submit applications and track the status of your applications in real-time. Creating a new account ensures that your profile and application history are up to date in the new system.

This Workday Guide for External Candidates(PDF, 1MB) provides step-by-step guidance on how an external candidate (a non-city employee) can use all features of the City of Charlotte’s Careers site in Workday. This includes how to create your candidate profile, create job alerts, find and apply for open positions, check the status of job applications once you have applied and manage current job applications.
