HRchitect Presents the Beauty Pageant Webinar Series

 

HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the many vendors in the HR technology space and maintains complete vendor neutrality. As the leaders in this marketplace, we feel it is our responsibility to help educate you, the consumer, on the many choices available to you and to help you make sense of the puzzling world of HR technology.

 As a result, we have recently developed a series of Webinars focused on the vendor landscape and broken down by different product areas. Best of all, these webinars are FREE to you.

Each 90-minute webinar will each feature up to six vendors and as you can imagine, there are a lot of vendors that we had to choose from to narrow it down to that number.

The sessions will be moderated by Matt Lafata, our VP of Sales & Marketing. In addition to vendor participation, HRchitect will provide an invaluable overview of the Talent Management marketplace along with observations and predictions. We are focusing on making these webinars informational and fun at the same time. At the end of each webinar, we will have an “HRchitect Beauty Contest” where the attendees will “vote” on which presentation they enjoyed the most.

HRchitect has developed a format to help guide each vendor on an outline of what should be covered during each portion of the pageant.  Since we have billed this as a beauty pageant, we tried to come up with pageant categories for vendors to loosely follow. Of course each vendor is free to follow their own format and this is simply a guideline:

Evening gown – To start off each portion, we ask the vendor to come out in their best ‘outfit’ – corporate overview, history, specific identity, financial viability, marquee clients, leadership team, etc. This will be the grand entrance.  

Swimsuit – Here the vendors will show some skin in this portion – usability, configurability, etc.  

Talent This portion will cover functionality, technology/integration, global ability, etc.  

Interview – This will be the Q & A section from the audience. 

Although HRchitect will crown a winner at the end of each pageant, based on the votes of the attendees, it is important to note that we are not asking the audience to make a decision as to which product to purchased based on the pageant alone. This beauty pageant is designed to provide exposure to a select group of qualified vendors in a short, informative and fun format. That being said, HRchitect implores anybody contemplating an HR Systems purchase that they go through a software evaluation and selection process with the use of Decision Drivers before making such an important buying decision.
