PEPM benchmarking
HR software vendors price on employees, contingent workers, applicants, and modules — sometimes all four for the same person. The deals are quiet, multi-year, and hard to unwind. We benchmark unit economics against real peer data, redline the growth clauses, and structure exits before they're needed.
01
What we cover
Core HCM, payroll, talent acquisition, learning, performance, and workforce management platforms — negotiated as one estate, not as siloed renewals.
02
Watch-outs
PEPM (per-employee-per-month) rates that ratchet on headcount growth but never on shrinkage, implementation credits that expire mid-deployment, and 'unlimited' modules with usage caps buried in schedules.
Same seat. Every time.
Vantage Decisions only ever represents the buyer. No vendor commissions, no reseller kickbacks — just leverage.
