HiredScore Deep Dive

This two-day, in-person workshop equipped Solution Consultants to “dive deeper” into HiredScore. While many participants already possessed general product knowledge, only a few felt confident addressing the most challenging customer pain points or strategically positioning HiredScore against competitors while responding accurately to questions and objections. To bridge that gap, I designed a highly interactive learning experience featuring real-world scenario activities. These exercises provided a safe, supportive environment for Solution Consultants to practice, refine their skills, and build confidence in high-stakes customer interactions.

 

Summary of feedback received.

The training’s success earned me The New Offering Accelerator Award and led to the design of similar sessions for additional products.

Integrating AI for Rapid, High-Impact Workshop Development
This workshop marked a pivotal shift in my workflow, leveraging AI to accelerate design without sacrificing quality. With just a few weeks to develop all content, I strategically integrated Google Gemini and NotebookLM into my process. I built a curated enablement notebook so the AI pulled only from up-to-date, SME-verified resources - ensuring accuracy and relevance. AI assisted in crafting thematic, ocean-inspired titles, generating on-brand imagery, suggesting interactive activities, and drafting realistic scenarios. This approach dramatically reduced development time while delivering a polished, creative, and instructionally sound learning experience.

Workday’s Acquisition of HiredScore

In April 2024, Workday acquired HiredScore. As the Learning Designer assigned to the project, I was responsible for ensuring sales teams could confidently sell HiredScore immediately post-acquisition. This high-visibility project involved extreme deadlines, significant ambiguity, and cross-functional collaboration across multiple global teams.

Key Deliverables & Outcomes:

  • HiredScore Value Proposition & Messaging eLearning

    • 6+ narrated videos and a Discovery & Objection Handling branching scenario in Articulate Storyline.

    • Customized version developed for Workday Sales Partners.

  • HiredScore Selling Fundamentals eLearning

    • Built in Articulate Rise for fast deployment and ease of updates.

  • HiredScore Pitch Certification Program

    • Trained managers to certify sales teams, ensured completion of prerequisite eLearning, and assisted with scheduling, preparation, and execution of certifications.

  • Sales Enablement Resources

    • Created Highspot pages containing 5+ job aids for quick reference and consistent messaging.

Workday Sales Partner Courses for the Referral Track
