Talent software for the way you work with clients
Give each client their own Useful workspace, under your brand or theirs, shaped around your methodology. Resell it, refer clients to us, or include it in your service.
Built for advisers who work with HR teams
If you already help organisations with their people, Useful gives you something of your own to put in their hands.
Every client in one place
Manage all your clients from one account, and switch between their workspaces in a click.
The exact data each client needs
Set up each client's own skills, behaviours, experiences and questions, so every review collects exactly what that client needs.
Insight they can act on
Turn the results into talent maps, tables and org chart views, then build action plans from what you find.
What you get
A workspace for each client, or one shared setup
Give each client their own workspace, with their own people, data and settings. Or set up your methodology once and use it for every client: the same skills, behaviours and experiences, questions, review templates, career levels and talent maps. Each client's people see only their own people and results, and each client is reported on separately. Either way, you manage everything from one account.
Your brand, or your client's
Brand each client workspace to match your brand or the client's own. Clients see a product that fits the way they work with you, from the moment they sign in.
Shaped to your methodology
Useful is highly configurable, so it can follow your approach exactly. Your skills, behaviours and experiences, your questions, your career levels, your talent maps and your reports can all be built in. We customise it with you, so it becomes your product.
Terms that work for you
Resell Useful or refer clients to us, and you share in the revenue. Include it in your own service, and you pay a significantly reduced fee per role. There is no one-size-fits-all formula. We talk to you first, then agree terms that suit how you work.
Three ways to partner
Choose the model that fits how you work with clients. You can change models later, and you can talk it through with us first.
Resell under your brand
You offer Useful to your clients as your own product, and you stay their main contact.
- Your brand on the product your clients use
- You hold the client relationship
- A named account manager supports you
- You share in the revenue
Refer your clients to us
You introduce the client, and we take it from there.
- We handle the sale, the setup and the support
- Each client has a named account manager
- Clients use Useful under our name
- You share in the revenue
Include it in your service
You use Useful in your own client work, and give clients a workspace as part of what you already offer.
- One account, with a workspace for each client
- Free for your clients, as part of your service
- You pay a significantly reduced fee per role
- A named account manager supports you
Larger partner? Ask about your own instance
Larger partners can have their own instance of Useful, kept separate from everyone else's. It is an extra, and it comes with a minimum annual commitment.
Questions
Can we use our own brand?
Yes. You can brand each client workspace to match your brand or the client's own. If you refer clients to us, they use Useful under our name.
Who supports us and our clients?
Every partner has a dedicated account manager: a named person you can go to for all the support you need. Referred clients have one too. If you resell, you stay your clients' main contact, and your account manager supports you.
Do we need technical skills?
No. We set up and look after the software. You bring your methodology and your clients, and we build your approach into Useful with you.
Can we use the same methodology for every client?
Yes. You can set up your skills, behaviours and experiences, questions, review templates, career levels and talent maps once, and use them for every client. Each client is reported on separately, and its people see only their own people and results. If a client needs its own approach, it can have a dedicated workspace instead. We help you choose what suits each client.
How do the commercial terms work?
If you resell or refer, you share in the revenue. If you include Useful in your service, you pay a significantly reduced fee per role, and your clients pay nothing. We agree terms with each partner. We talk them through in our first conversation, so you know where you stand before you commit.
Can we change models later?
Yes. You might start by referring clients, then move to reselling, or include Useful in your own service. We agree the change with you.
Is our clients' data kept separate and secure?
Yes. Each client can have its own dedicated workspace, so its data is completely separate from every other client's. If you share one setup across clients, each client's people see only their own people and results, and each client is reported on separately. Access rules are enforced on the server, so people see only what they are allowed to see. Useful runs on Google Cloud, whose infrastructure is certified to ISO 27001 and audited under SOC 2. Your data is hosted in the EU.
Can we have our own instance?
Yes, if you are a larger partner. An instance is a separate copy of Useful, just for you. It is an extra, and it comes with a minimum annual commitment. Most partners start with one account and a workspace for each client. Talk to us if you want to know more.
