E1 partnered with the client to implement Workday Recruiting as part of a Phase X initiative focused on modernizing corporate hiring. The engagement transitioned recruiting from a legacy system to Workday, centralizing processes and supporting consistent, scalable hiring aligned with the client’s existing Workday ecosystem.
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.
Reliance on a legacy recruiting platform led to the following major challenges for the client:
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.
E1 was selected based on its deep Workday expertise, proven delivery record, and ability to act as a single, accountable partner throughout the implementation lifecycle. E1 worked closely with HR and Talent Acquisition stakeholders to understand current-state challenges and define a clear path forward for recruiting transformation.
E1 designed and delivered an end-to-end Workday Recruiting implementation as part of the client’s Phase X program. The solution included configuration of standardized recruiting workflows, alignment with existing Workday HCM functionality, and focused support for testing and deployment. To ensure smooth adoption, E1 provided a dedicated point of contact to manage coordination, address issues, and support stakeholders through go-live.
The engagement delivered measurable outcomes, including:
Successful migration of the legacy recruiting system for accelerated corporate hiring
Centralized recruiting and HR data within a single platform, reducing manual effort
Enhanced process transparency and reporting across hiring activities
Standardized workflows reduced administrative overhead
Established a flexible recruiting solution to support future growth and evolving hiring needs
