As ProMach prepared for its Workday go-live, the organisation recognised that implementing the platform was only part of the journey. To ensure long-term success after deployment, it needed to establish an internal Workday capability that could support users, manage the platform and drive continuous improvement.
Before beginning its search, ProMach wanted specialist guidance on the Workday talent market to understand what skills were needed, how the market was structured and which role would best support the organisation after go-live.
Project Highlights
- Strategic Workday talent consultation delivered ahead of Workday go-live
- Defined the ideal HRIS Manager profile to support the Workday platform
- Four highly qualified Workday candidates presented within one week
- Offer accepted within two weeks of the initial consultation
- Critical internal Workday support secured before deployment
The Challenge
With Workday scheduled to go live later that year, ProMach needed to establish an internal support function that would take ownership of the platform once implementation was complete.
Without an existing Workday team, the organisation required specialist advice to understand the Workday talent market, define the right permanent role and identify the skills needed to support the platform beyond go-live. Making the right hire before deployment was critical to ensuring platform stability, user support and long-term optimisation.
Our Approach
Focus Cloud worked closely with ProMach to understand its implementation timeline, future support requirements and long-term objectives for the Workday platform.
Drawing on our specialist knowledge of the Workday recruitment market, we provided strategic guidance on the skills, experience and profile required for a successful HRIS Manager before launching a targeted search. Leveraging our established network of Workday professionals, we quickly identified candidates with the technical expertise and business experience needed to support the organisation after deployment.
Within one week of the initial consultation, we presented four highly qualified candidates who closely matched ProMach's technical requirements, organisational culture and long-term goals, enabling the recruitment process to progress quickly ahead of go-live.
The Outcome
The engagement enabled ProMach to secure the right Workday professional before deployment, providing the organisation with the internal capability needed to support its Workday platform from day one of go-live.
The engagement delivered:
- Four highly qualified HRIS Manager candidates presented within one week
- Successful candidate progressed through two interview stages
- Offer accepted within two weeks of the initial consultation
- Internal Workday support secured ahead of go-live
- A strong foundation for long-term Workday platform management and optimisation
By combining strategic Workday talent consultancy with specialist Workday recruitment expertise, Focus Cloud helped ProMach establish its internal Workday capability ahead of deployment, ensuring the organisation was well-positioned to support, maintain and optimise its Workday platform after go-live.
