I like that OutSail helps evaluate HRIS options, ensuring the systems integrate well with our existing software and align well with our stated needs. OutSail was recommended to me within 2 different HR Slack communities. I was able to quickly connect with the founder, Brett, who provided evaluation support fitting our lean team's criteria. I was able to meet 1x1 with a member of their team to discuss what was not working with our current vendor and what we needed in a new provider. After the call, they distilled our conversation into a scorecard format and populated it with vendors within the space that aligned with our stated criteria. This report card template was easy to read and documented everything needed to ensure our compliance team was ept up to speed on our evaluation. Additionally, their deep expertise in the market also provided us with insight into what to expect in terms of fair pricing, which was extremely helpful throughout the negotiation process. 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 future audits. They supported us through vendor negotiations, ensuring fair pricing. OutSail's consultative nature and market expertise extended our reach, helping us make a thorough decision on a high-touch system important to our organization.

I find OutSail helpful in getting our thoughts and process organized. I really like the scorecards and pre-populated questions they provide, which helped us make an informed purchasing decision.

What I like 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. They asked thoughtful, sometimes challenging questions that pushed us to examine whether we were framing problems and requirements the right way. That honesty and intellectual rigor made the process better and led to stronger, more confident decisions.
