FAQ
Common questions before reaching out
These answers address the most frequent inquiries we receive. If your question is not listed here, please send us a message using the form above.
View Full FAQCan you help me log in to Paycor or fix a payroll issue?
No. We are an independent research hub, not a support channel for any HCM vendor. If you need help with a Paycor employer login, a payroll management error, or an account access issue, contact Paycor directly or reach out to your internal HR department.
How quickly will I get a response?
We aim to respond to all inquiries within two business days. Media and research partnership requests may take slightly longer if they require input from our editorial director.
Can I cite your research in my own publication?
Yes. We welcome citation requests from journalists, academic researchers, and industry analysts. Please include the specific study or comparison you want to cite and the context of your publication when you contact us.
Do you offer custom HCM consulting services?
Our focus is published research and free interactive tools. We do not provide paid consulting or vendor implementation services. If you need guidance on selecting an HCM platform, our comparison guides and methodology pages are a good starting point.
Is my contact information shared with vendors?
No. We do not sell or share your personal data with software vendors or third-party marketers. Any information you share through our contact form or email is used only to respond to your inquiry. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Privacy
How we handle your data
Any information you share with us through our contact forms or email is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal data to software vendors or third-party marketers. Our goal is to build a relationship of trust with our readers.
We use your contact information only to respond to your specific inquiry or to send you the updates you have explicitly requested. If you ask us to stop sending updates, we will remove you from that mailing list. We never share inquiry details with HCM vendors, including any platform we may reference in our research.
While we primarily communicate through our website, you can also stay updated on our latest research by following our social channels. We post summaries of platform comparisons and alerts for new compliance guides on workforce management topics. This is a practical way to stay informed about shifts in the HR technology landscape.
