Why we read it this way (6)
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in HR, IT, Business, or a related field, but the JD does not explicitly gate on it (no 'required' language around it and equivalent experience is implied by the overall framing), so the degree requirement is set to None.
Workday Adaptive Planning and Workday Certification are each called 'a strong plus' — listed under the requirements section but explicitly flagged as optional extras rather than hard gates.
Greenhouse and CultureAmp appear only in the integrations narrative as examples of adjacent systems, not as standalone skill requirements; they are marked preferred accordingly.
SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the best fit for a platform-ownership/configuration/integration specialist role centered on an enterprise HR system; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the deep technical integration and automation work involved.
The '6+ years' figure is stated at the role level ('6+ years of progressive HR technology experience') and is captured as the overall years minimum; it is also reflected on the Workday HCM skill since the experience is Workday-specific throughout.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Reporting, Workday Adaptive Planning.
