OutSail pioneered the HR software broker model: when a company makes a purchase through OutSail, the winning vendor pays us a commission for the introduction. That's why 90% of OutSail clients never pay us a cent.

• No hidden fees: Vendors don't pass our costs back to you in higher pricing. Vendors spend heavily trying to get in front of HR buyers — outbound sales teams, ads, paid review sites — and a customer who comes through OutSail is the most predictable, lowest-cost acquisition channel they have.

• Vendor-agnostic by design: OutSail partners with 220+ HR tech vendors, including every market leader. Every vendor in our network has signed an identical commission agreement, which means we earn the same regardless of who wins your deal.

• Paid services, when you need them: For clients who need deeper support — like enterprise-grade selection rigor, process optimization, or fractional services — the broker model subsidizes the engagement, so our fees run roughly half of what traditional HR consultancies charge.
