  • Creating and maintaining project documentation, process flows, and solution designs.
  • Building strong client relationships and acting as a trusted Workday advisor.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional Workday consultants and project teams to deliver successful client outcomes.
  • Staying up to date with Workday Recruiting enhancements and industry trends.

  • Experience with recruiting process optimisation and transformation initiatives.
  • Degree in Human Resources, Information Systems, Business, or a related field.

VirtualResource is a boutique IT consultancy specialising in HR & Digital Transformation. We help organisations shape their Digital Roadmaps, deploy Workday with confidence, keep it running at its best, and adopt AI in ways that deliver real outcomes.


We're not the biggest consultancy you'll work with, and that's deliberate. We've built VR around experienced practitioners who've done the work - people who can sit alongside your team, understand the context, and help move things forward without the layers and overhead you'd find elsewhere.


Our people are the reason clients come back.


Great consulting starts with great people. We invest in ours, because the experience our clients have with VR is shaped entirely by the team they meet.


We attract experienced professionals and give them work that's worth showing up for

We create a flexible, considered working environment built around trust.


We reward people fairly and recognise the value they bring

We invest in development and upskilling because staying sharp is part of the job
