I'm new to SOAP API and also to Workday. I'm searching which API do I have to use to create a Worker object.
I already found under IntelliJ how to build Java objects from WSDL files and how to manipulate them.
Compared to REST API, I find SOAP and Workday's documentation really tough.
Thank you for any help !
The Hire_Employee and Contract_Contingent_Worker webservice operations are used to create Workers - Employee and Contingent Worker respectively. Both are available in the Staffing webservices.
How you use those will depend on what information about the worker is already in the system as, for example, an Applicant or a Former Worker. It will also depend on the requirements for the Supervisory Organization and Position into which the worker is being hired/contracted.
It will help you significantly to first get used to performing the hire/contract process in the Workday user interface. These webservices are driving the same business processes launched from the UI and so come with the same requirements for data.
