Their innovative approach to programmatic advertising enables clients to thrive in an increasingly complex and divided digital world.
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.
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 specialised 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 fulfil MIQ’s urgent requirements.
- 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.
