“In all of our years in the HR and talent technology marketplace, so many solution providers come and go,” said Ben Eubanks, Principal Analyst, Lighthouse Research and Advisory. “The ones with real value and staying power are who buyers need to connect with, but it’s hard for them to navigate the waters of technology evaluation with hundreds of providers in the industry.
