Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“If you already use Workday, start with Workday Skills Cloud: it maps skills across the organization” GPT-6 Luna · Skills intelligence · direct prompt · first choice
“check your current HRIS (e.g., Workday, HiBob, or SuccessFactors). Many have rolled out native "Skills Cloud" or talent intelligence features” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Skills intelligence · scale prompt · alternative
“Skills intelligence natively embedded within the Workday HRIS ... Best if you're already on Workday.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Skills intelligence · comparative prompt · alternative
“Choose Workday if you want native integration with an existing Workday environment.” GPT-5.4 mini · Talent intelligence · paraphrase prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“offering very little value to recruiters who are tasked with sourcing net-new external B2B talent” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Talent intelligence · direct prompt · hard negative
“Why avoid platforms like Eightfold, Gloat, or Workday? ... Workday is too expensive and rigid” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Talent intelligence · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“avoid if you need external talent acquisition... zero external sourcing capability” Perplexity Sonar · Talent intelligence · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid: Enterprise-heavy like Workday Skills Cloud (too pricey/integrated)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Skills intelligence · paraphrase prompt · hard negative

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Workday Skills Cloud. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
