How to pick the right HR newsletter

Who these newsletters work best for

  • Recruiting and hiring software
  • Payroll, benefits and HR platforms
  • Training, learning and career products

What to check before you book

  • Recruiters or HR leaders? Talent acquisition and people leaders read different newsletters.
  • Check for job seekers. Some work newsletters reach candidates, not buyers. Good for career products, poor for HR software.
  • Use the specialists. Recruiting newsletters are small but read closely by the people who buy hiring tools.
