Need to Update User Look from text box in custom object

I receive a feed of employees I load into a custom object. It has the employee number from another system.

I need to be able to update another  LOOKUP field  (relationsjhip is the User table) based on the employee number the user enters.

The employee number is a field in the USER table  ..so I need to match on it and return the userID to the empty lookup field

Can this be done with a workflow or process builder.  

Example:

Text fied value  Employee Number = 50410 
Need to relate that value to the user.employeeID
and  return the user.ID to a seperate lookup field

Hi Mark, 

I beleive you can acheive this by using visual Flow and a process builder.
