What We Place
Our Approach
This editorial hiring guide starts with sourced Austin business context. Austin's May 2026 economic-development policy draft names specific growth sectors and infrastructure programs. The document supports hiring scenarios tied to semiconductors, health innovation, and major public infrastructure without claiming that a named employer has an open role. A Workday Student search should identify the institution structure, academic calendar, programs, student populations, admissions process, records rules, financial aid, student accounts, integrations, and deployment wave. General Workday experience does not establish higher-education process knowledge.

Start the search
Include the business context, systems, delivery phase, work model, compensation, and interview timeline. A Crosscheck search lead will use that context to calibrate the role before sourcing begins.
Local Market Brief
Define the recruiting, admissions, curriculum, academic records, advising, registration, financial aid, student financials, reporting, security, and conversion areas in scope. Record the legacy student system and campus process owners. The three sourced Austin contexts below turn that scope into intake and screening decisions. They do not measure current vacancies, candidate supply, or Crosscheck client activity.
Editorial market scenario
Set the system boundary, decision rights, work model, and interview schedule before sourcing. Candidates can then compare the role on concrete responsibilities. This is planning guidance, not measured local demand.
Editorial industry scenario
A cross-industry brief should start with the systems, users, risks, and outcomes behind the job title. Confirm that this context applies to the employer before using it in the search.
Screening focus
We match experience to the actual phase of work, including discovery, configuration, migration, integration, rollout, and post-launch support.

Hiring brief scenarios
These scenarios connect location context to role responsibilities. Use them as prompts to verify with the employer, not as measures of Austin demand, clients, or candidate supply.
Sourced semiconductors and microelectronics context
The City of Austin's May 2026 policy draft identifies semiconductors and microelectronics as a target sector and links the sector to local research, state programs, and federal investment. The document names design, manufacturing, and supply-chain activity as parts of the cluster. Translate the institutional setting into academic units, periods, programs of study, course sections, student cohorts, eligibility rules, and business processes. Ask how the design affects records and student service. Semiconductor work can combine factory systems, engineering data, long equipment lifecycles, and strict production change windows.
Evidence to request: Use an applicant-to-enrollment exercise and require academic, process, eligibility, security, billing, and reporting decisions. Separate experience with corporate software from experience inside design, test, fabrication, or equipment operations.
Sourced life sciences and health innovation context
Austin's 2026 policy draft lists life sciences and health innovation as a target sector. It points to diagnostics, biotechnology, health technology, and the research and clinical institutions that support those activities. Set boundaries among Workday Student, HCM, Financials, identity, learning systems, federal or provincial aid services, payment tools, and campus applications. Require a comparable integration example. Research and clinical products can require reproducible analysis, controlled data access, validation records, and review by nontechnical subject experts.
Evidence to request: Review a campus interface or student-record defect with the affected population, diagnosis, correction, replay, and validation. Document whether the role supports research, a regulated product, clinical operations, or an internal business system because each path changes the proof required.
Sourced mobility and infrastructure technology context
The Austin policy draft treats mobility and infrastructure technology as a sector connected to I-35, Project Connect, airport expansion, and water infrastructure. It describes a regional investment cycle with construction, technology, utilities, and smart-city work. Define conversion, testing, cutover, and term-support ownership. Candidates should cover applicants, students, curricula, enrollments, balances, aid records, security, reports, exceptions, and reconciliation. Infrastructure programs join field schedules, public procurement, asset data, and systems that must remain available during phased delivery.
Evidence to request: Ask for a term conversion or registration cycle the consultant owned, including record validation, role testing, exceptions, communication, and acceptance. Identify the asset, operating agency, implementation phase, and outage tolerance before deciding whether industry experience is required.
