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 mission is to help every business be better at buying HR software, so we have made our platform & services entirely free to buyers. We get compensated by the winning vendor when our clients make a purchase, and the vendors do not pass this cost along to you in the form of higher software fees.

How does your team stay neutral?

Our team stays neutral by working with every major vendor in the market, by creating as much consistency across our referral agreements as possible and by disclosing our commission rates to each customer, so you have full transparency into exactly how we get paid

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

No, it's never too late! Whether you are at the start of your journey or halfway through, OutSail can step in at any time. You can maintain any current progress & vendor relationships; and we can provide you with our proprietary tools, data, and expert guidance to help you make a more informed decision and negotiate the best possible agreement.

Does OutSail offer post-purchase support?

Yes, OutSail continues to support clients even after they've made their purchase. Our HR Service Partner Finder can match your org with the right consultant. Whether you're looking for implementation support, system optimization or simply HR outsourcing to augment your Compliance, Benefits, and Payroll efforts - OutSail can guide you to the right partner, educating you on the pros, cons & costs of each option
