Beginning April 21, Recruiters and Recruiting Coordinators will be able to create, manage, and send offer letters to candidates from within Workday with a built-in connection to DocuSign, allowing you also to collect signatures without printing and scanning. Using this new feature is optional but requires participation by managers to eSign the offers within Workday. Unfortunately, managers cannot delegate eSigning offer letters. Please consult with your Dean/VP office for CSU-specific instructions and guidelines. See below for details and links to updated training materials.
