Why we read it this way (7)
The JD requires 5+ years of HR experience overall and at least 3+ years of hands-on Workday HCM configuration; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the role-level gate) and the years demanded on Workday HCM is set to 3 (the technology-specific gate).
A Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, or Information Systems is listed under Basic Qualifications but the posting explicitly states 'equivalent experience considered,' so the degree requirement is treated as None.
The requirement is for expertise in 'at least three' Workday functional areas from a named list (Core HCM, Absence, Benefits, Reporting, Compensation, Security, Talent, Payroll). Core HCM, Absence, Benefits, Security, Payroll, and Reporting are called out most prominently throughout the posting and are marked required; Compensation, Recruiting, Talent, and Time appear only as examples of possible future modules or secondary context and are marked preferred.
SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the best fit for an HRIS/Workday functional analyst role focused on system configuration, business process design, reporting, and cross-functional HR operations support — not primarily software development (15-1252) or database administration (15-1242). 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized HRIS nature of the work.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Reporting, Workday Business Process configuration.
