Customer Spotlight: Chipotle
Chopping Time-to-Hire by 75%
with Workday’s Conversational AI (Paradox)
Chipotle moved from weeks to a 4-day average time-to-hire by deploying conversational AI that screens and schedules candidates 24/7. As you all know, when you're adding new locations and battling turnover, speed in hiring isn't optional — it's a competitive advantage. So much so, that I saw a post on LinkedIn recently where Chipotle’s CEO was discussing how pivotal this has been for their business.

Introducing Workday’s Frontline Agent
Workday Frontline Agent solves the #1 frontline problem: the chaotic scramble every time a worker calls out sick. Managers currently spend 15+ minutes per incident texting through phone trees. The Frontline Agent handles absence reporting and shift replacement via SMS — no app required — reducing that time by 90% (from 60K to 6K hours per year at scale). For people teams managing high-turnover workforces, that translates directly to fewer schedule gaps, lower overtime costs, and managers who can spend time with their teams.
