Graduate Profiles: Sarah Harkin, Workday HCM Consultant
Hi, I'm Sarah and I joined Kainos in October 2019. Before joining Kainos, I studied BSc Business Technology at The Manchester Metropolitan University, graduating in the Summer of 2017. After graduating, I worked for one of the 'Big Four' where I was mainly responsible for client administration and maintaining the IT systems across the team. This job provided me with good experience of working in a business environment in which I met many new friends however I did not believe I was reaching my full potential. This is when I came across Kainos and applied for their Graduate Scheme. At first, I was quite hesitant due to my lack of knowledge of Workday but since my first day with Kainos, I have never looked back!
How was your start at Kainos?
On my first week with Kainos, myself and approximately 10 other graduates participated in an induction session. This session involved meeting a selection of Kainos employees to talk us through each department within Kainos, what to expect while working with Kainos and answering any questions we may have had. Each person who spoke to us throughout the induction welcomed us into the company and provided us with their contact information in case we needed to reach out with any questions in the future. A few weeks later, we travelled to the Workday Headquarters in Amsterdam to participate in a two-week training course to achieve our Workday HCM Certification.
