SoW to support a Global Workday ERP Implementation
Background
MIQ, a private equity-backed global programmatic media partner, aimed to implement a Workday ERP system across its Finance and Human Resources functions. To achieve this, they engaged Cedar Recruitment to assemble a specialized project team under a comprehensive Statement of Work (SoW).
The Challenge
The SoW outlined the need for a cohesive project team comprising a Programme Lead, Business Analyst, Data Lead, Integration Lead, and Functional Consultant. The objectives were to ensure a seamless Workday ERP implementation by leveraging professionals with specialized expertise.
MIQ faced several challenges:
- Competitive Market: The demand for Workday ERP professionals was high, intensifying the competition for top talent.
- Time Constraints: There was an urgent requirement for all contractors to commence work within two weeks of role release.
- Previous Recruitment Hurdles: Traditional recruitment methods had been exhausted without success, necessitating a bespoke headhunting strategy.
The Solution
Cedar Recruitment executed the SoW by:
- Market Mapping: Conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify candidates with the requisite Workday ERP expertise and cultural alignment.
- Accelerated Recruitment: Ensured that all shortlisted candidates reached the interview stage within one week of receiving the brief.
- Targeted Headhunting: Leveraged extensive industry networks to source top-tier talent promptly.
The Result
The project yielded significant results:
- Successful Placements: Four key positions were filled within the stipulated timeframe, ensuring project continuity.
- Positive Feedback: Both hiring managers and candidates provided regular commendations on the recruitment process.
- Strengthened Partnership: The collaboration reinforced the relationship between MIQ and Cedar Recruitment for future endeavors.
Through this structured SoW approach, Cedar Recruitment effectively addressed MIQ’s challenges, facilitating a timely and efficient Workday ERP implementation.
