What We Place
Our Approach
This editorial hiring guide starts with sourced Raleigh business context. Raleigh's Business Investment Grant lists information technology, biotechnology, research and development, manufacturing, clean technology, and related industries among its eligible growth clusters. Each setting changes the systems, records, and operating evidence that matter in a technical search. 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 Raleigh 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
Ask candidates to show how they moved technical work into a maintained system. Record the handoff, monitoring, documentation, and operating constraints. This is planning guidance, not measured local demand.
Editorial industry scenario
A research-facing brief should separate experimental work from ownership of maintained systems, users, documentation, and deadlines. 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 Raleigh demand, clients, or candidate supply.
Sourced software and analytics context
Raleigh's Business Investment Grant includes software development, hardware, applications, and analytics within its information technology category. 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. Software and analytics teams may connect product records, customer data, cloud services, projects, usage measures, support queues, and finance systems with different owners and release schedules.
Evidence to request: Use an applicant-to-enrollment exercise and require academic, process, eligibility, security, billing, and reporting decisions. Name the product or internal process, system of record, data classes, connected services, release path, support window, and acceptance owner attached to the role.
Sourced biotechnology and research context
The Raleigh program also names biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, contract research organizations, and research and development facilities among its eligible clusters. 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 life-science work can involve controlled source data, experiments, samples, projects, purchasing, quality records, specialized equipment, and review before a result or system change is accepted.
Evidence to request: Review a campus interface or student-record defect with the affected population, diagnosis, correction, replay, and validation. Define the research or operating stage, data and record classes, validation boundary, equipment or laboratory connections, approval evidence, and retention rules.
Sourced manufacturing and clean technology context
Manufacturing, clean technology, alternative energy, agriculture, industrial machinery, and consumer products appear in Raleigh's eligible-industry list. Define conversion, testing, cutover, and term-support ownership. Candidates should cover applicants, students, curricula, enrollments, balances, aid records, security, reports, exceptions, and reconciliation. A product operation may join material and product records, equipment, capacity, suppliers, inventory, quality checks, costs, maintenance, and customer commitments across several systems.
Evidence to request: Ask for a term conversion or registration cycle the consultant owned, including record validation, role testing, exceptions, communication, and acceptance. Map the product and asset lifecycle, sites, planning horizon, quality gates, inventory events, source systems, outage limits, and operational sign-off required from the hire.
