What HR data contains

Recruiting workflows, onboarding processes, policy documentation and people-operations records — how organizations actually find, evaluate and develop people.

Why buyers want it

  • HR is a major AI application area. Screening, scheduling and employee support are active automation targets.
  • Real evaluation judgment. How experienced people assess candidates cannot be scraped.
  • Process richness. Multi-stage workflows with clear outcomes.

The privacy bar

HR data carries the highest sensitivity. SourceX applies rigorous anonymization and only works with data the company has clear authority to license.

What this means for partners

An established company with formal HR operations is a qualifying introduction. If a deal closes and SourceX collects its fee, you earn 25% of that fee, up to $100,000 per company.
