HR software marketing ideas: the buyer is not the user
The fastest way to market HR software is to add vanes: one tap questions on what employees hate, which processes waste time and whether annual reviews work. Two seconds to answer, anonymous, and the tally is data every HR buyer wants.

HR software poll questions to steal
Questions people actually answer.
Paste these into the builder or swap in your own modules. What employees mutter about is what your buyer needs to see.
Your buyer needs to justify a purchase internally. A tally showing which HR process their own people find most wasteful is exactly the evidence that gets a budget approved.
Where should it go on a HR platform website?
The right format for every part of your site.
The best spots are the product pages, the pricing page, the resources hub, the demo confirmation, and the blog.

What owners ask us.
How do HR software companies market to both buyers and users?
Collect data from the users and hand it to the buyer. A tally showing which HR process employees find most wasteful is exactly the evidence a champion needs to justify the purchase internally.
What should an HR software website have besides features?
Category arguments with numbers attached. The annual review debate is one every HR leader is having, and being the vendor with actual data on it is a durable advantage.
Can this predict adoption problems?
An honest slider on whether people log into their current system tells you more about real adoption in the category than any vendor case study.
Is any employee data collected?
None. Anonymous single taps with no accounts, no employer identification and no personal information.
