Too good to be true?

Here are a few questions, you might be asking yourself right now.

Is OutSail free for HR Software buyers?

Yes. Our core offering is completely free from initial audit through final selection. Organizations with greater complexity or needing deeper support can also choose an enhanced paid advisory experience.

How does your team stay neutral?

We pioneered the HR software broker model and partner with more than 220 vendors, including every market leader. Each pays a similar commission, so our economics remain consistent regardless of which platform a client selects.

We already met with vendors, is it too late to use you?

Not at all. We are happy to provide additional consultation, data, and expertise at any stage in the buying process. We meet you where you are, preserving the progress you’ve made and the vendor contacts already in place.

Does OutSail offer post-purchase support?

Yes. We have built a leading network of vetted HR consultants and partners, allowing us to match clients with implementation and optimization experts specifically experienced with their chosen platform.
