Phase X: Workday Transformation for Standardized Corporate Hiring

Client Background

Our client is a national off-price retailer that evolved from a single-category specialty business into an organization operating more than 1,000 stores across the U.S. The company delivers branded apparel and home merchandise on a scale.

Business Challenges:

Reliance on a legacy recruiting platform led to the following major challenges for the client:

• Fragmented recruiting workflows across corporate hiring activities.
• Manual data handoffs slowing down hiring and onboarding transitions.
• Limited transparency into recruiting progress and performance.
• Constraints in scaling recruiting processes to support business growth.

Goals & Objectives

The client sought a trusted and experienced partner to support a Phase X initiative focused on modernizing corporate recruiting. The goal was to move away from a legacy recruiting platform and consolidate recruiting operations within Workday, while ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing hiring activities.

The key objectives included standardizing recruiting workflows, improving visibility into hiring progress, and strengthening alignment between recruiting and core HR processes. The client also aimed to maximize the value of its existing Workday environment by extending its use to support scalable, future-ready corporate hiring.
