In Workday HCM, within the position management staffing model, each position represents a single headcount slot that can be occupied by only one worker at a time. The status of a position automatically updates based on staffing activity, particularly when a worker is hired, transferred, or terminated.

In this scenario, an HR Partner successfully hires an employee into the position. Once the hire transaction is completed and reaches the completion step of the Hire business process, Workday assigns the worker to the position. As a result, the position’s status automatically changes to Filled. This status indicates that the position is currently occupied by a worker and is no longer available for hiring or backfill unless the incumbent leaves the position.

The defined hiring restrictions—job profile, location, and worker type—are used only to control who can be hired into the position. Once a worker who meets these restrictions is hired, those restrictions no longer influence the position’s status. The fact that all other optional values are blank does not affect the outcome, as unrestricted fields do not prevent the position from being filled.

Option B, Closed, would apply only if the position were explicitly closed through a position management action, such as eliminating the role. Option C, Frozen, would apply if the position were intentionally placed on hold to prevent hiring, which is not described in this scenario.

From a Workday Pro HCM perspective, the system behavior is clear and consistent: when a worker is hired into a position-managed role, the position becomes Filled. Therefore, the correct and Workday-verified answer is Filled.
