In a recent LinkedIn post, Lloydgordon is actively seeking experienced professionals for a long-term contract role focusing on Workday Financials. The post serves as a direct call to his network, emphasizing a need for deep, hands-on expertise rather than peripheral involvement.
“I’m looking for a Workday Financials Project Manager for a long term contract opportunity and I want to hear from the best.”
Lloydgordon’s message clearly delineates the type of candidate he is targeting, stressing the importance of genuine end-to-end implementation ownership. This distinction is crucial for the success of the project, as he aims to connect with individuals who possess a proven track record in successfully delivering Workday Financials solutions.
Defining True Workday Financials Expertise
The core of Lloydgordon’s post revolves around identifying candidates who have not just been associated with Workday Financials projects, but have fundamentally led them. He makes a sharp distinction between those who have been “adjacent” to the process and those who have truly “owned full Workday Financials implementations end to end.” This focus suggests a project that requires significant strategic oversight and a comprehensive understanding of the system’s lifecycle.
“This isn’t a post for people who’ve been “adjacent” to Financials or who’ve sat in a room while someone else ran the project. I need someone who has genuinely owned full Workday Financials implementations end to end. You know the difference.”
As Lloydgordon points out, the difference in experience is significant and directly impacts project outcomes. This rigorous requirement underscores the complexity and strategic importance of the role being advertised.
Incentivizing Referrals and Engagement
Beyond the direct search, Lloydgordon also employs a strategy to leverage his network for candidate sourcing. He explicitly welcomes referrals and offers a tangible incentive for successful placements.
“Referrals are always welcome and we will pay £500 for a successful referral or happy to fund a night on the town with Nick Donovan if preferred 😏”
This approach highlights Lloydgordon’s understanding of network dynamics and the value of community-driven recruitment. The offer of a referral bonus, coupled with a lighthearted alternative, aims to encourage active participation from his connections. According to Lloydgordon, the opportunity is part of a project experiencing significant growth.
“If you want to be part of something building serious momentum in the Workday space right now, let’s talk.”
He concludes by inviting interested parties, or those who know suitable candidates, to connect directly via direct message, signaling a desire for efficient and focused communication.
