Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

In Workday HCM, hiring restrictions define the allowable values a manager can select when hiring into a position or job management organization. These restrictions are enforced strictly to ensure governance, compliance, and consistency in staffing decisions. When a value is explicitly restricted, only the values defined in the restriction are valid during the hire process.

In this scenario, the position has hiring restrictions configured for Location, allowing only New York and San Francisco. Although other attributes such as time type are not restricted and therefore remain flexible, location is explicitly constrained. When the manager attempts to hire a worker with the location set to London, Workday prevents the transaction from continuing because London is not included in the allowed location values for the position.

The job profile requirement is met, as both the position and the hire specify Staff HR Representative, and the worker type also aligns with the restriction of Employee. The Time Type: Full Time does not cause an issue because time type is not restricted, meaning any valid time type can be selected.

Option A is incorrect because managers are allowed to specify values beyond the restricted fields, as long as they comply with any existing restrictions. Option B is unrelated to the scenario, as the issue is not related to hire reason configuration. Option D is incorrect because unrestricted fields do not block hiring.

From a Workday Pro HCM perspective, this scenario reinforces the importance of reviewing position hiring restrictions carefully. Any attempt to select a value outside a defined restriction—such as an unauthorized location—will result in the hire being blocked. Therefore, the correct answer is the manager cannot select London because it is not in the list of hiring restrictions for location.
