PeopleInsight by HireRoad has launched PeopleInsight Essentials, an AI-driven analytics platform designed to help lean HR and Talent Acquisition teams deliver strategic impact without large budgets, heavy IT support, or lengthy implementation cycles.
Priced from $250 per week, Essentials provides core dashboards, AI-powered insights, monthly executive-ready reports, and an AI assistant—delivering value within five days of receiving data. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing HR and TA systems and requires no long-term contracts.
“PeopleInsight Essentials was built for the thousands of HR teams flying blind with limited resources and high expectations,” said John Federman, CEO of PeopleInsight by HireRoad. “We’re giving them a seat at the strategy table by arming them with insights that matter, so they can demonstrate impact now and secure resources later.”

Research underscores the need. Lighthouse Research & Advisory found HR teams lacking data storytelling are 76% more likely to be seen as misaligned by leadership, while companies with analytics infrastructure saw a 103% rise in executive interest in HR data. Yet Aptitude Research reports only 18% of HR leaders feel confident proving ROI.
“PeopleInsight Essentials is the only tool in the market that removes barriers like budget, internal resources, and complex implementation,” said Madeline Laurano, founder of Aptitude Research.
Early adopters are already seeing results. “In just a few weeks, we were able to translate complex TA metrics into a story our leadership team could quickly understand,” said Ritchie Monteith, Talent & Development Leader at Blanchard Machinery.
By delivering fast, accessible, and predictive insights, PeopleInsight Essentials positions HR teams to demonstrate measurable business impact and drive long-term workforce strategy.
