The GQR Unicorn: Find Your Unicorn at Workday Rising!

At GQR, we believe in the power of discovering the rare and exceptional talent—the unicorn candidates that every organization dreams of. These individuals aren’t just skilled; they embody a unique blend of qualities that make them stand out and drive success in their roles. Our clients often ask us to help them find these “unicorns,” and it’s something we’ve become known for. So, to bring this concept to life and invite you all to join us in the fun, we’re launching the GQR Unicorn Hunt at Workday Rising 2024!

What Is a "Unicorn"?

A “unicorn candidate” refers to the rare, exceptional talent that blends innovation, expertise, and alignment with your company’s specific needs. These are the individuals who go beyond ticking boxes—they make a transformative impact. Finding the right unicorn candidate can elevate a team, bring new perspectives, and ultimately drive long-term success. At GQR, we specialize in identifying these unique individuals and placing them in roles where they can thrive.

The Backstory: Why the Unicorn?

The idea of the GQR Unicorn came from a common theme we hear from clients: the need for those hard-to-find, highly skilled professionals that seem almost mythical. In a candidate-driven market, organizations are constantly searching for talent that not only fits their role but also stands out with unique strengths, adaptability, and drive. We’ve made it our mission to find these unicorns for our clients, and the GQR Unicorn Hunt brings this concept to life.

We wanted to share this experience in a way that’s engaging for everyone attending Workday Rising in vegas, while also showcasing what makes GQR a trusted talent partner. By participating in the GQR Unicorn Hunt, you’ll get a chance to see what it’s like to be part of a unicorn hunt—and maybe win a HUGE prize along the way!
