About the company

Helios Consulting provides implementation and optimization services for Workday, a cloud-based software used for human resources and financial management. The company operates through the Helios Horizons program, a 12-week apprenticeship that trains and certifies new talent to be placed with clients on a talent-to-hire basis. Unlike traditional competitors that recruit existing experts, Helios creates its own pipeline of certified professionals to solve the talent shortage in the enterprise software market. The company’s goal is to provide high-caliber Workday support while promoting diversity and ethical practices within the industry.
