Clarity You Can Trust
Cut through vendor claims with independent expertise, straightforward feedback, and recommendations built around what truly makes sense for your organization.
What I liked best about OutSail is their deep expertise paired with a truly unbiased perspective. They weren’t tied to any specific platform, so their guidance was grounded in what actually made sense for our organization, not in pushing a particular solution. I also really valued their candor.

Outsail’s industry knowledge and commitment to supporting buyers made a daunting process feel manageable. Their proposal analysis and negotiation guide were a huge help in securing the best deal. I'd recommend OutSail to any company choosing new HR software.

Better Decisions, Better Deal

Why Clients Recommend OutSail
OutSail was an invaluable partner in helping us navigate what could have been a very complex and time-consuming decision; they understood our organization’s specific needs, priorities, and challenges, and translated those into a clear, structured evaluation process.

OutSail's detailed listening, summary, and translation of our company's needs into vendor selection was incredibly valuable. Vetting through the dozens of possible vendors to the top vendors was really helpful; saving us hours of work.

Carl helped us organize our requirements, objectively evaluate multiple platforms, compare proposals, and negotiate with vendors. His expertise, responsiveness, and vendor-neutral approach made what could have been an overwhelming process feel structured, efficient, and ultimately successful

After 2 years and 10 demos, we never would have found our new vendor without your help. I wish we would have found OutSail sooner and having Carl guide us through the process made what was a painful process for us previously, a very enjoyable one this time.

OutSail was the perfect partner for us in navigating the HRIS climate. From vendor scorecards to pricing insights, working with Outsail is a no brainer. Carl was helpful, professional, and his industry knowledge is at the forefront of every conversation.

OutSail's tools and reports surfaced insights we would not have uncovered on our own and helped us save a significant amount of time. This process was invaluable in keeping the executive team aligned and confident in both the approach and the final decision.

Carl made what could have been a complicated vendor evaluation process much easier by helping us compare options clearly and focus on what mattered most for our organization. His guidance, responsiveness, and practical insight were incredibly helpful throughout the process

I genuinely cannot believe that every HR professional isn’t aware of OutSail yet. I have used them several times now, and when we are working on a project together, they truly become an extension of my team. Brett, Carl, and the entire crew are dedicated thought partners who are constantly checking in and proactively going the extra mile.

Using OutSail made our evaluation process clearer and more efficient. The team was consultative and knowledgeable, never pushing paid services, and their documentation was essential for defending our decision. OutSail's consultative nature and market expertise helped us make a thorough decision on a high-touch system important to our organization.
