Ever looked at a candidate’s resume and thought — what exactly did they do in that project?
Let’s first understand what kind of company the candidate worked for.
Broadly speaking, did the candidate work for a product company, an implementation partner, a system integrator, or the end client?
Let me break it down with a real-world example using Workday.
🧩 Quick Breakdown:
A product company builds the software — like Workday Inc.
An implementation partner — like Alight — helps set it up and configure it for the end client
A system integrator — like Infosys or Accenture — connects Workday with other tools like payroll, time tracking, or finance systems
And the end client is the company using Workday — say, a retail giant like Target
🎯 Why it matters:
Knowing where the candidate worked tells you if they handled product support, deep implementation, or complex integration —
and helps you reach out with roles that actually match their experience.
Happy Resume Screening!
