Workday Completes $3B Acquisition Spree — Paradox, HiredScore, Evisort, Sana Transform It Into 'Platform of Agents'
Josh Bersin's April 2026 analysis details how Workday leveraged ~$3B in acquisitions to reinvent from a system of record into a platform of autonomous agents. Paradox CEO Adam Godson now leads Workday's entire talent acquisition platform. The agentic HR stack handles recruiting (Paradox/Olivia chatbot for Wendy's, 7-Eleven, GM), skills intelligence (HiredScore), document processing (Evisort), and learning (Sana). For builders: Workday's move is the template for how incumbents survive — acquire the agent layer rather than build it.
