Recruiting & Talent Acquisition
1. AI-Powered Job Description Generation
Recruiters can now leverage Dayforce Co-Pilot to create polished, professional, and role-specific job descriptions.
This automation ensures consistency and quality, addressing common challenges associated with crafting effective job postings.
2. Improved Candidate Experience
To reduce barriers to application, Dayforce has introduced account-free applications.
Candidates can now apply for positions without the need to create an account, streamlining the process and encouraging more submissions.
Additionally, recruiters can generate custom QR codes for job postings, simplifying the application process during job fairs and high-traffic campaigns.
This feature enables fast, mobile-friendly submissions, enhancing the reach and accessibility of job opportunities.
Workforce Management & Payroll
1. Advanced Data Analysis and Predictive Insights
Co-Pilot can now analyze large datasets to surface workforce trends, highlight cost-saving opportunities, and identify anomalies in payroll or scheduling.
One standout capability is the Flight Risk Indicator, which uses factors like tenure, compensation trends, and performance history to flag employees at risk of leaving.
This enables HR teams to proactively intervene with retention strategies before it’s too late.
2. Task Automation and Operational Efficiency
From auto-generating payroll reports to processing time-off requests based on predefined rules, Co-Pilot is eliminating repetitive work across the organization.
Notifications for overdue tasks, automated follow-ups, and escalation rules are helping teams stay on top of operations while freeing up time for more strategic initiatives.
Dayforce has also improved HR case management analytics, helping administrators track trends, analyze past cases, and identify training opportunities that reduce issue recurrence.
3. Personalized Employee and Managerial Support
Co-Pilot provides on-demand support for both employees and managers:
Employees can ask about pay, benefits, vacation balances, or access company documents directly through natural language prompts.
Managers get real-time insights into compliance risks, team schedules, and employee engagement trends. Co-Pilot can even recommend shift adjustments or raise performance concerns.
Visual Insights and Decision Support
A major update brings dynamic visualization tools to Co-Pilot, enabling users to not only analyze data—but to see it.
For example, HR leaders can now:
Sort and filter recruiters by average time-to-fill and hiring volume to get a more nuanced understanding of team performance.
Quickly identify overloaded staff vs. underperformers—helping balance workloads more effectively.
Spot trends and outliers visually rather than digging through spreadsheets.
As Dayforce’s Jeff Matsumiya put it at the latest Dayforce User Group International (DUGI) event:
“This is where we get to tell different stories—all because we’re giving you a tool that takes the data you already have and turns it into a more visual, more consumable method.”
This enhanced storytelling capability helps drive more informed conversations across HR, operations, and leadership.
Daily Workflow Integration
Co-Pilot’s smarter embed into daily HR operations now allows HR leaders during standups or shift meetings to:
Use Co-Pilot to track daily checklists in real time
Prompt team members to complete tasks, like updating candidate profiles or following up with applicants
Automate common meeting tasks like setting timers or sending reminders
These small, workflow-oriented improvements add up—bringing AI assistance into the flow of work without needing to switch tools or systems.
Other Enhancements to Copilot
Enhanced Hub Experience and Role-Based Access
While many users have migrated to the new Hub page, some organizations have yet to transition fully.
The updated Hub allows users to create widgets with external links to resources like SharePoint, complete with text and images.
However, direct interfacing of external data requires an interface process.
Additionally, Co-Pilot access is determined by user roles, ensuring employees only see relevant content.
AI-Driven Resume and Document Management
Document management allows users to search by document type or name, though resume parsing remains limited to the Recruiting module.
While Co-Pilot primarily utilizes Dayforce documentation and company-specific content within the Advanced Hub to provide answers, future expansions may enhance its capabilities further.
Key Takeaways:
The latest updates to Dayforce Co-Pilot are part of an ongoing effort to enhance the platform’s functionality through the integration of AI, process automation, data visualization, and in-context guidance.
These changes are designed to support more efficient decision-making, reduce manual tasks, and provide users with timely, relevant insights within their daily workflows.
The overall direction reflects a shift toward building systems that are more responsive to the needs of both employees and organizations.
