[Classet](/integrations/dayforce) is the one that screens applicants by phone before a recruiter touches the file. Most teams run several together. **Key Points:** - Classet is the Dayforce integration on this list that runs a voice phone interview. - Classet writes the interview result, summary, and recording link back to the Dayforce candidate record. - Talroo, The Predictive Index, Checkr, HireRight, Experian, and Equifax handle job ads, assessments, background checks, tax credits, and verification. ## What Are Dayforce Integrations? Dayforce integrations are third-party tools that exchange candidate data with Dayforce Recruiting, the applicant tracking module inside the Dayforce HCM suite (formerly Ceridian Dayforce). Thousands of employers run high-volume hourly hiring through Dayforce Recruiting, from restaurant groups to specialty contractors, and the [Bureau of Labor Statistics](https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/jolts_09292026.htm) counted 7.1 million US job openings in August 2026. Screening tools plug into Dayforce Recruiting as assessment partners. For recruiters, the useful question is what each tool writes back to the candidate record. For example, a pass or fail field is useful. A field with a recording link and summary is far more useful, because a recruiter can replay a 5-minute call instead of calling the candidate back. ## How Did We Pick the Best Dayforce Integrations? These integrations solve different steps of hiring, so we picked the best one for each step instead of ranking them against each other. Within each step, we judged Dayforce integrations on five criteria: 1. Depth of ATS connectivity, including what data writes back to the Dayforce candidate record. 2. Automation that removes manual recruiter steps, such as triggering on application or stage. 3. Candidate experience impact, including how fast an applicant hears from the employer. 4. Implementation speed and how much IT time the Dayforce setup needs. 5. Fit for [high-volume hiring](/blog/ai-recruitment-tools-high-volume), where hundreds of applicants move through each week. Every vendor below was verified against its own Dayforce integration page or Dayforce documentation in October 2026. The list pairs one screening tool with the integrations around it, so each pick does a different job in the same Dayforce workflow. Background checks made the cut because almost every Dayforce hiring workflow ends with one, and the order flow adds days to time to hire. Disclosure: Classet makes the phone screening tool on this list. Every other pick was judged on the same five criteria. ## Best Dayforce Integration for Phone Screening: Classet Classet is the best Dayforce integration for phone screening because Joy, Classet's AI recruiter, interviews applicants by phone the moment they apply. Joy asks your screening and knockout questions, answers questions about pay and schedule, and records the call. Joy screens 150 applicants in about 10 minutes, and candidates rated the experience positive in 88% of 10,167 ratings collected from January through August 2026. Inside Dayforce, Joy starts when a candidate enters Dayforce or reaches a stage you choose. When the interview ends, Classet writes the result, the summary, and a recording link back to the candidate record, where the result can trigger your existing Dayforce automations. For example, a national specialty contractor signed in September 2026 as the first Classet customer on Dayforce. [ATS Sync](/product/joy-sync-ats-plugin) starts at $1,995/month. ## Best Dayforce Integration for Job Advertising: Talroo Talroo is a programmatic job advertising platform focused on frontline and skilled trades hiring. Talroo became a Dayforce Platform Partner in March 2025, and according to [Talroo's partnership announcement](https://www.talroo.com/blog/dayforce-talroo-partnership), employers manage job campaigns and applicant flow directly in Dayforce. The integration includes Talroo's Apply Intelligence suite, which uses hiring data to tune ad spend, and Talroo targets logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare roles. Employers can turn the integration on through Dayforce Partner Exchange. For example, a manufacturer short 25 machine operators can push spend toward the job sites that send applicants who finish the process. More applicants only helps if someone reaches them quickly, which is where a phone screen comes in. Good for: Frontline employers in 2026 that buy job ads and want spend tied to hires. ## Best Dayforce Integration for Behavioral Assessments: The Predictive Index The Predictive Index (PI) is a behavioral and cognitive assessment platform used for hiring and team management. According to [PI's Dayforce catalog page](https://www.predictiveindex.com/integrations/catalog/dayforce/), the customer picks the Dayforce stage that triggers assessment invitations, and the invite goes out automatically after the candidate completes the application. Report status, results, a job match score, and an interview guide write back to the application in Dayforce. If a candidate already took the PI assessment, PI recognizes the earlier result and links the existing report instead of asking for a retake. PI is assessment-only and runs no phone, text, or video interviews. PI answers a different question than Classet: how a work style fits the role, not whether the candidate holds the license and availability the job requires. Good for: Employers already using PI for team management in 2026. A multi-site operator might use PI for manager hires and a phone screen for hourly roles. ## Best Dayforce Integrations for Background Checks: Checkr and HireRight Checkr and HireRight are background screening vendors, and both offer Dayforce integrations for the last step before an offer. According to [Checkr's Dayforce partner page](https://checkr.com/company/partners/dayforce), background check status (pending, canceled, complete, or review) shows inside Dayforce, and custom screening packages sync to Dayforce in real time. HireRight has partnered with Dayforce since 2013, according to [HireRight's Dayforce partner spotlight](https://www.hireright.com/dayforce-partner-spotlight). Recruiters order background and drug screens from Dayforce Recruiting, and I-9 and E-Verify run through Dayforce Onboarding. Neither vendor screens applicants for fit, so you still won't know whether a candidate holds a CDL or EPA certification. Both belong after a phone screen confirms the basics, because a background check on a candidate without the required license is wasted money. Good for: Any Dayforce employer. Pick based on turnaround, price per check, and drug screening coverage. ## Best Dayforce Integration for WOTC Tax Credits: Experian Experian Employer Services runs Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) screening for employers. According to [Experian's Dayforce partner page](https://www.experian.com/employer-services/partners/dayforce), the WOTC survey is embedded in the Dayforce hiring workflow, and relevant payroll data is sent to Experian automatically, so employers do not upload weekly payroll files. Experian calls the integration the shortest WOTC survey process in the industry, aimed at reducing candidate abandonment. The federal credit is worth up to $2,400 per eligible hire for most target groups and up to $9,600 for some veteran categories, according to the [IRS](https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/work-opportunity-tax-credit). Good for: High-volume hourly employers on Dayforce that are not yet claiming WOTC. ## Best Dayforce Integration for Employment Verification: Equifax The Work Number The Work Number from Equifax is an employment and income verification service. According to [Dayforce's documentation for The Work Number](https://help.dayforce.com/r/documents/Equifax-Data-Export-Configuration-for-The-Work-Number-Service/Equifax-Work-Number-Service-Overview), Dayforce exports payroll data to Equifax when payroll is committed, and The Work Number then answers employment and salary verification requests automatically. Dayforce's documentation describes the service as available at no cost to the employer, fully automated, FCRA compliant, and available 24/7. The Work Number sits after the hire, not in recruiting. HR teams still get the payoff: no more phone calls from mortgage lenders and landlords asking HR to confirm an employee's job. Good for: Any Dayforce employer whose HR team fields verification calls. ## How Do the Dayforce Integrations Compare? The comparison below is a side-by-side view of the seven Dayforce integrations on six features that decide whether a recruiter still calls applicants by hand. Data comes from each vendor's Dayforce page or Dayforce documentation as of October 2026. Only 1 of the 7 tools screens applicants by phone, and the other 6 cover job ads, assessments, checks, tax credits, and verification.

Few AI screening tools connect to Dayforce at all, because Dayforce's API works differently from the ATSs most vendors build for first, such as Greenhouse, Lever, and iCIMS. That leaves Dayforce employers with fewer options at the exact moment more employers are moving onto Dayforce. If you are comparing screening tools for Dayforce, ask each vendor three questions before a demo. What lands on the Dayforce candidate record after each interview? How long did the last Dayforce customer take to go live? Can you hear a real recording from a frontline role like yours? The answers separate a working integration from a logo on a slide. SAP is replacing the SuccessFactors recruiting module with SmartRecruiters and giving customers 3 to 5 years to migrate, [according to CIO](https://www.cio.com/article/4068172/sap-sets-timeline-to-replace-successfactors-recruiting-module-with-smartrecruiters.html), and we have spoken with several employers moving from SuccessFactors to Dayforce in 2026. Meanwhile the [Bureau of Labor Statistics](https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/jolts_09292026.htm) counted 7.1 million job openings in August 2026 against 5.2 million hires. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Dayforce Integrations ### Does Classet integrate with Dayforce?
