Send Endorsement Request asks the identified worker to confirm and provide information about their relationship with the candidate. It is therefore the correct subprocess for validating a candidate’s claim that they know someone within the organization.

The configured recruiting source is mapped to Self Identified because the candidate, rather than the worker, supplied the relationship information. That self-identification alone does not establish an endorsed referral. Inserting Send Endorsement Request into Review Candidate triggers the appropriate worker-facing request and records the response in the recruiting process.

Initiate Pre-Hire Contract Details concerns contractual information and has no relationship to referral verification. Change Personal Information updates personal data, while Review Decision supports a recruiting evaluation decision but does not contact the named worker for confirmation.

Workday distinguishes candidate-supplied source information from an endorsement provided by a worker. The endorsement process strengthens source accuracy and supplies recruiters with relevant relationship context without automatically treating every self-identified connection as a formal referral. Study Guide reference: Configure Recruiting Functionality — Recruiting Sources, Self Identified Mapping, Endorsements, Referrals, and Review Candidate . Workday states that when candidates identify organizational contacts, endorsement requests help refine the candidate pool. Workday Recruiting datasheet
