Job Description

 Domain- Banking
We have 3 exclusive Contract-to-Hire openings.
Workday + Core HCM + Finance + Integrations + Software Engineering + Leadership + Excellent Communication.
Location Priority:
1. Plano, TX – PRIORITY
2. McLean, VA – Open
3. Richmond, VA – Open
Please prioritize Plano candidates first, but we are open to strong candidates in McLean and Richmond.
Do not pass on an exceptional McLean or Richmond candidate simply because they are not located in Plano. The technical fit, leadership experience, and Workday background are more important than location for an exceptional candidate.
What We REALLY Need
This is NOT primarily a functional Workday role.
We need someone who is genuinely technical and has a strong software engineering background.
Top sourcing priorities:
  1. Workday
  2. Core HCM
  3. Workday Finance
  4. Workday Integrations
  5. Strong software engineering
  6. Technical leadership
  7. Excellent communication
  8. Strong problem-solving
  9. Leadership/management potential
  10. AI experience
Be careful with candidates who are primarily functional Workday consultants. Functional experience is helpful, but the client wants a technical software engineering profile.
Strong Candidate Indicators
Prioritize candidates who have:
  • Worked directly with Workday Finance
  • Strong Core HCM experience
  • Built or led Workday Integrations
  • Strong software development/programming experience
  • Led Workday engineering teams or initiatives
  • Been a technical lead
  • Managed or mentored engineers
  • Driven technical strategy
  • Worked in a complex enterprise environment
  • Financial services/banking experience
  • Experience with AI tools or AI-enabled development
  • Excellent communication and executive presence
  • The ability to clearly explain how they approach difficult problems
Leadership Potential
A candidate does not necessarily have to currently be a Manager, but we want someone who demonstrates the maturity, leadership, technical depth, and communication skills to potentially grow into that type of role.
Someone who has been a Lead Workday Software Engineer and has mentored engineers, driven strategy, owned initiatives, or led technical teams could be an excellent fit.
Candidate Screening Questions for Recruiting
Before submitting, recruiters should be able to answer:
  • Does this person have strong Workday experience?
  • Do they have Core HCM?
  • Do they have Workday Finance?
  • Do they have strong Workday Integrations?
  • Are they genuinely a software engineer/technical professional, or primarily functional?
  • Have they served as a technical lead?
  • Do they demonstrate leadership potential?
  • Can they explain how they solve complex technical problems?
  • Do they communicate exceptionally well?
  • Do they have any AI/AI-enabled development experience?
  • Could you realistically see this person growing into a Manager or Principal Associate role?
  • Are they located in Plano, McLean, or Richmond?
Think: highly technical Workday Software Engineer + Lead/Leadership capability + strong communication + Workday Finance/Core HCM/Integrations.
