If your headcount drops 15% next year, what happens to your HR tech bill?
Ask your vendor that question before you renew. A smaller workforce may reduce your seat charges, while AI credits and additional features push the total bill higher.
Get a cost estimate for the work you expect the system to do, including AI charges. Then ask what changes if your headcount falls. That gives you a useful starting point for the renewal conversation.
This is one of the issues I examine in the first Talent Intelligence Report, published this week for paid subscribers.
The October report includes:
My assessment of Workday, SAP and Oracle, and what their strategies mean for HR technology buyers
Five questions to take into your next vendor renewal
An assessment of an emerging AI recruiting company and where it may be worth testing
Five predictions with deadlines and confidence ratings
If you make decisions about hiring, recruiting technology, or your TA team, the report is designed to help you decide where to put your attention and budget.
A paid subscription is $50 a year. Upgrade to read the full October report.
