Today we have guest and long-time friend and contributor Phil Strazzulla on to answer the question: how should HR/TA practitioners purchase software?

Phil, founder of Select Software Reviews, is an entrepreneur focused on helping advance recruiting, people and human resources functions by sharing knowledge and building communities. He is also the founder and CEO of NextWave Hire and was formerly a VC at Bessemer Venture Partners before getting his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Select Software Reviews, as self-proclaimed, is a group of “HR tech nerds who spend all day long understanding the landscape of ATSs, payroll providers, employee software, AI and much more.” They research products with a mission to save you time and energy, offering vetted shortlists of vendors, pricing, budgeting tips and more before you dive into the commitment of purchasing HR tools.

A few things we talk about today: How should a practitioner view software that’s being pitched to them? What “red flags” should a practitioner look for to avoid bad decisions? If there were an ideal pitch process, what would it look like?

Today, we have Liz Crilley, Chief Commercial Officer & Head of Business Development of Apiary Life, on to discuss divorce, empathy and being a great employer.  

Liz is responsible for leading sales, marketing and strategic partnerships, as well as supporting the overall company strategy at Apiary. Before Apiary Life, she was at Thomsons Online Benefits, where she held various roles. Liz also spent several years leading business development and marketing for a brokerage firm in Chicago.

Apiary Life is a comprehensive care and advocacy platform for employees navigating critical life events. As William refers to it, "empathy as a service."

So, Apiary Life's goal is to support the mental, emotional, physical, financial and social wellbeing of employees, as well as their engagement, productivity and ability to make sound decisions at work.

The big questions we answer today: How do we compassionately step in to help a co-worker or employee experiencing loss? Why is it important to support your employee's entire ecosystem in times of crisis? How does an employer know they're "doing it right"?
