Running a review site costs money. Hosting, research tools, the occasional software subscription that turns out to be spectacularly underwhelming — the kind of platform that makes you wonder whether anyone inside the company has ever actually tried to use it. We fund The People Manager through affiliate programmes, which means we may earn a commission when you click through our links and subscribe to a product we have reviewed. This page exists because you deserve to understand exactly how that works.
How Affiliate Links Work
When we link to a people management product, that link often contains a tracking code — a small, invisible marker in the URL. If you click through and eventually subscribe, the vendor pays us a commission. The price you pay remains exactly the same; the commission comes from the vendor’s marketing budget, not your wallet. We participate in multiple affiliate programmes across the HR technology landscape, covering everything from HR management suites to employee engagement platforms and learning management systems.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews. Not slightly, not subtly, not at all. We do not accept payment for rankings, and we do not adjust our assessments based on commission rates. When a platform disappoints — when the onboarding workflow collapses under complexity, when the analytics dashboard delivers noise instead of insight, when pricing structures quietly punish growth — we document it. A positive review that sends you toward an HR suite incapable of handling your organisation’s real needs would undermine the only thing that makes this entire enterprise worthwhile: your trust that what we write reflects what we found.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with Federal Trade Commission guidelines, we disclose that The People Manager receives compensation through affiliate partnerships. Our recommendations reflect genuine assessment, not commercial arrangements.
