Workday Just Got Smarter: GQR and Turbin.ai Join Forces to Launch Curated Consultant Marketplace
In a move aimed at simplifying how enterprises find top-tier Workday® talent, GQR and Turbin.ai have teamed up to launch the GQR x Turbin Workday Talent Marketplace—an AI-enhanced platform that connects organizations directly with elite, pre-vetted consultants.
The platform offers something rare in today’s chaotic hiring ecosystem: clarity. Instead of slogging through piles of résumés or juggling third-party vendors, Workday customers can browse a curated bench of ready-to-hire experts—complete with real-time availability, project alignment, and instant access to credentials.
“This is about speed, precision, and visibility,” said Chris Hurley, GQR’s Global Workday Practice Director. “You get vetted, specialized consultants at your fingertips—without the noise.”
AI-Powered, People-Centric
Unlike generic talent portals that prioritize volume over fit, the GQR x Turbin marketplace is designed with one ecosystem in mind: Workday. Turbin.ai’s intelligent matching engine filters talent based on project needs, availability, and skill specialism, while GQR’s proprietary vetting process ensures that every consultant has been assessed by humans who understand the domain—not just algorithms.
The result? A platform where finding the right person for the job doesn’t feel like finding a needle in a haystack.
Key features include:
-
Live Talent Dashboards: Know exactly who’s available and when, across Workday AMS, Advisory, Integrations, and beyond.
-
Scalable Engagements: Define scope, scale usage, and manage contracts all within the platform.
-
Accelerated Hiring: Cut down on time-to-fill by eliminating résumé spam and manual back-and-forths.
-
Consultant Visibility: Independent Workday professionals can see live projects and self-select gigs that match their career goals.
Turbin Founder Mahdi Kafi summed it up: “We didn’t just build a better job board—we built a smarter ecosystem. This partnership sets a new standard for how Workday talent connects with Workday customers.”
Why It Matters
With the Workday consulting market ballooning—driven by enterprise cloud migrations and the complexity of HR, finance, and payroll systems—demand for certified talent has outpaced supply. This has created a perfect storm of long hiring cycles, mismatched placements, and inflated costs.
The GQR x Turbin marketplace aims to change that by turning recruitment from a reactive fire drill into a proactive talent strategy.
And for consultants tired of waiting on recruiters to call them back? The marketplace flips the power dynamic, letting experts manage their own pipeline and pick projects on their terms. It’s Upwork—but curated, enterprise-ready, and built for Workday.
