Workday is proactively closing the gap for skilled talent, creating opportunities for professionals from non-traditional pathways to shine. By focusing on skills over qualifications or titles, they’re building a more inclusive workforce and reimagining what a modern, diverse talent acquisition process can achieve. We’re incredibly proud to support this initiative and thrilled to see the positive impact it will have in Ireland and beyond. Thank you so much to the Workday team for the invitation.
