Quick Hire App: Streamlined Contingent Hiring with Workday Extend

Client Background

Our client is a leading U.S.-based media network headquartered in Los Angeles, with a strong presence across broadcast television, news, and sports. The organization supports a dynamic workforce and operates in a fast-paced environment that demands efficient and flexible talent onboarding.

Business Challenges

Operating in a fast-paced media environment, the client faced several challenges in onboarding freelance talent quickly while maintaining compliance such as:

• Traditional Workday recruiting and hire processes are too complex for short-term freelancers
• Managers needed a way to onboard contingent talent quickly without bypassing compliance
• Pay rates needed to be standardized and tied to job profiles to ensure accuracy

The client’s primary goal was to simplify and accelerate the onboarding of freelance and contingent workers while maintaining compliance and control. Key objectives included reducing administrative effort, standardizing compensation through job profiles, and enabling a faster, more efficient onboarding experience for managers and hiring teams.
