Offering: an HR-analytics SaaS that turns HRIS data into retention and engagement dashboards for mid-market HR teams.

Partnership Plan — PeopleSignal (HR-analytics SaaS)

Offering: A platform that connects to a company's HRIS and turns the data into retention, engagement, and DEI dashboards for mid-market HR teams.

Partner types worth pursuing

Integration / tech partners

  • Why: PeopleSignal is only as good as the data it can reach; native HRIS connectors remove the #1 adoption blocker and earn marketplace distribution.
  • Example partners: HRIS vendors, payroll platforms, ATS providers.

Channel / reseller partners

  • Why: Trusted advisors already sell into the HR buyer and can carry analytics as an add-on.
  • Example partners: HR consultancies, benefits brokers, fractional-CHRO firms.

Content / co-marketing partners

  • Why: Shared audience, no product overlap — co-created research builds category authority cheaply.
  • Example partners: HR media/newsletters, people-analytics communities, SHRM-style associations.

Co-marketing ideas

  • A joint "State of Mid-Market Retention" benchmark report with an HRIS partner's anonymized data.
  • Co-hosted webinar: "Turn your HRIS into a retention early-warning system."
  • Listed app in a partner's integration marketplace with a co-branded launch.

Outreach approach

Lead with mutual value, not the ask: show an integration partner that PeopleSignal makes their data stickier and reduces their churn, then propose a marketplace listing as the first low-friction step.

Deal structures

  • Revenue share on referred deals (e.g. first-year %).
  • Referral fee / finder's fee for consultancies.
  • Co-sell with shared pipeline and a bundled SKU.
  • Free integration listing in exchange for co-marketing.

Success metrics

  • Partner-sourced pipeline and closed-won.
  • Activated integrations per partner.
  • Co-marketing leads and assisted conversions.

Riskiest assumptions to validate

  • HRIS vendors see PeopleSignal as complementary, not a competitive threat to their own analytics.
  • Consultancies will co-sell software rather than only services.
  • A revenue share is enough incentive to earn real partner attention.
