Bastrop, TX — CareerXroads (CXR), the long-standing and highly regarded talent acquisition community, announced today that it has been acquired by Workday, Inc., a global leader in enterprise cloud applications for human resources and finance. The acquisition is part of Workday’s continued investment in cultivating practitioner-driven insights and building deeper connections within the talent ecosystem.
While terms of the deal were not disclosed, sources close to the transaction confirmed that the acquisition price "exceeded the recent valuation of HiredScore," making it one of the more talked-about deals in HR tech circles today.
Founded in 1996, CareerXroads has grown into one of the most trusted peer networks for TA leaders around the world. Known for its candid conversations, research-driven programming, and commitment to professional development, the community has long been a go-to resource for those shaping the future of recruiting.
“This next chapter allows us to scale without sacrificing what makes our community special,” said Chris Hoyt, President of CareerXroads. “Workday understands that real innovation in talent happens through connection, conversation, and a bit of courage. We're excited to bring our members even more opportunities to learn, lead, and push the industry forward.”
As part of the acquisition, CXR’s leadership team will remain in place, with all programming, forums, and member offerings continuing without disruption. Over the coming months, CXR and Workday will explore opportunities for collaboration, co-branded events, and integrated insights that serve both communities at scale.
When asked for comment, CXR Co-Founder Gerry Crispin responded, “Wait, what?”
This acquisition reflects a growing recognition that the future of HR technology isn’t just about platforms—it’s about the people who use them, shape them, and challenge them to be better.
