Hoping to get back to contracting - Workday project Reading/Warwick

[edison]

Wouldn't it? It wouldn't be the first time, either. WD has a lot of modules - my specialisation is payroll and absence systems, not recruitment thank goodness

I was overseeing a payroll and HR implementation programme back in 2018/19. Recruiting a contract PM was one of the hardest roles I've ever had to recruit. Rates were high and all the candidates we were looking at seemed to have multiple offers.

It reminded me of my SAP days in the late 90s when people assumed (incorrectly) that I carried my money around in a wheelbarrow LOL.

I thought the Workday bandwagon would go on for a long time but it seems to have tailed off a lot in the last couple of years?

Do you get cheaper rates on your leccy?

Doubt it. National Grid don't supply to the public. They provide to energy suppliers.

Why do you live down there or are contracting there at the moment?

If you need any specific advice about Warwick (hotels, restaurants, pubs, facilities) let me know and I will help where I can.
If it is National Grid/Telent or anything on that technology park, be mindful of traffic around there morning/evening rush hours and lunchtimes, it can be painful.

Good luck.

It would be particularly ironic to be stuck in a typical Workday ghosting scenario when applying for a Workday role.

Could be IBM.

Ah - never thought of that. Needless to say after it being all-fired urgent on Tuesday and me sending them everything they asked for whilst I was still talking to the agent, it's gone dead now. I am currently in a totally soul destroying permie job and I would so love to just walk straight out and go and do the contract gig.

I am being contacted about a Workday (this is what I do these days) role. It's via an agency trying to pimp me to Wipro - who are doing a Workday UK payroll product for a client - they are saying occasional travel to Reading and Warwick - I don't suppose anyone has a clue on who the end client is? I realise this is a very niche request.
