At IRD, we use a simple but powerful model to evaluate talent acquisition software:
Trust, AI Research, and Community Feedback.
-
Trust: No referral fees, no sponsorships, and no click-tracking. Our insights are independent and bias-free—built to serve practitioners, not vendors.
-
AI Research: We engineer tailored prompts to power ChatGPT’s Deep Research, dramatically reducing the time it takes to surface information from documentation, reviews, and public sources. It’s not perfect—but it gets us 95% of the way there.
-
Community Feedback: We invite vendors to clarify any inaccuracies, then publish a public version. A deeper version lives behind our SAI membership paywall, where system administrators explore, refine, and compare tools in real-world context.
We also offer custom analyses and full RFP advisory support for companies making high-stakes platform decisions.
