MIQ: Global Workday ERP Implementation
Case Study: Supporting MIQ’s Critical Workday ERP Implementation
Background
MIQ, a PE-backed global programmatic media partner for marketers and agencies, specializes in connecting data, uncovering insights, and delivering high-performance campaigns that drive real business outcomes. Their innovative approach to programmatic advertising enables clients to thrive in an increasingly complex and divided digital world.
The Challenge
MIQ faced the critical task of implementing a Workday ERP system across its global Finance and Human Resources functions. This complex transformation required a highly skilled project team, including roles such as Programme Lead, Business Analyst, Data Lead, Integration Lead, and Functional Consultant.
The challenge was compounded by:
- A highly competitive Workday ERP market.
- The need for all contractors to start within two weeks of the roles being released.
- MIQ having exhausted traditional recruitment methods, necessitating a bespoke headhunting approach.
The Solution
Cedar delivered an exclusive, multi-hire campaign tailored to MIQ’s specific needs. Key actions included:
- Market Mapping: We developed a comprehensive market map to identify high-calibre candidates with specialized Workday ERP knowledge, commercial acumen, technical expertise, and the right cultural fit for this transformative programme.
- Speed and Efficiency: Our team ensured all shortlisted candidates were at the interview stage within one week of receiving the brief.
- Headhunting Expertise: Leveraging our deep industry networks, we sourced top-tier talent, even in a competitive market, to fulfill MIQ’s urgent requirements.
The Result
- Successfully placed four contractors across the programme, covering four of the five required positions within a tight timeframe.
- Received regular positive feedback from the hiring and recruiting managers as well as the candidates involved.
- Strengthened our partnership with MIQ, continuing to support them on recruitment needs for future roles.
Through our targeted and agile approach, Cedar enabled MIQ to stay on track with their Workday ERP implementation, ensuring a seamless process and meeting critical deadlines.
“Cedar supported me in finding a role and was of great help and supportive in my application with the client. They were communicative throughout and helped me to secure the best possible outcome. They have a refreshingly straightforward, warm, and personable style which makes you feel that you are in good hands; a fact which is backed up by solid outcomes! In addition, helped me find people once hired. I would highly recommend Cedar to anyone in my network and to clients alike who are recruiting, Cedar are true professionals and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
