USE CASE:

Getting buying committees right for HR and people

This page is about buying committees for HR and people: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so People Finder is something you run yourself against your own list of HR and people.

The situation

Buying committees for HR and people one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. HR and people sit in one function and one seniority band, and both move with company size, which shapes buying committees. On HR and people, buying committees rarely catches this: the same title means three different jobs at a startup, a scaleup and an enterprise. We keep 1 preconfigured task for buying committees on HR and people, across 1 tool.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The job advert itself, for HR and people. Free, and the responsibilities section says what the title actually means there.
  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Still the best single source for who works where, and the filters are good. It will not tell you who decides, and it charges per seat.
  • Apollo, Cognism or a contact database. Instant coverage at the price of accuracy. Titles go stale fast, and a database that has not seen a company in eight months will confidently give you someone who left.
  • Asking your champion. In an active deal this beats every tool listed here and costs one sentence in an email.
  • Read the team page and LinkedIn. Most companies under 200 people publish their leadership. Ten minutes on the team page and the LinkedIn people tab gets you a map that is better than anything you can buy.

The method

  1. Start with one of HR and people you already know, so a wrong buying committees answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run People Finder across your list of HR and people, which carries 1 ready made setup for buying committees.
  3. Read ten rows of buying committees on HR and people by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
