HRAIdir's editorial independence policy, sponsored placement boundaries, and correction process.
HRAIdir is an independent editorial directory for HR, recruiting, and talent software. Our goal is to help buyers understand tools, categories, tradeoffs, and review questions without sponsored rankings.
We separate editorial judgment from commercial placement. Featured or Sponsor labels may identify paid visibility, but they are not influenced in editorial scores, written assessments, or category fit.
HRAIdir does not sell ranking positions. A vendor cannot buy a higher editorial score, rewrite the five scoring dimensions, or remove buyer-relevant caveats because of a commercial relationship.
If we introduce paid placements, they must be labeled as Featured or Sponsor and kept separate from the editorial review. Paid visibility can affect placement or promotion, not the editorial score.
Vendors can send factual corrections, product updates, category suggestions, and documentation links. We may use those materials to improve accuracy, but vendor input does not control the final editorial judgment.
Vendors cannot require positive language, suppress comparison context, or influence whether a buyer risk is mentioned.
We expect HR software pages to change over time. Product positioning, integrations, categories, and public claims can shift. HRAIdir reviews important pages when we identify stale information, when a category changes, or when a correction request is credible.
If a correction is needed, we review the specific claim, compare it with available source material, and update the page when the correction is justified. We avoid changing unrelated claims without a reason.
HRAIdir may explore Featured, Sponsor, newsletter, or research products as the site grows. These products must not break the editorial rights of buyers:
For corrections, category issues, or editorial questions, contact the HRAIdir team through the email or contact route listed on the site. Please include the page URL, the specific claim in question, and the source or context that supports the correction.
We prioritize corrections that affect buyer understanding, product categorization, security or compliance interpretation, and claims about sponsorship or editorial independence.
