Luminary Partnership for HR Technology Providers
Luminaries inspire and influence others.
A membership for HR technology providers who want to shape the research agenda, get the findings first, and put independent evidence behind their story.
Position your brand where buyers look for evidence.
HR buyers are tired of vendor claims. What moves them is independent data, an analyst's perspective, and a name they trust next to yours. The Luminary program packages the parts of Lighthouse that providers ask for most into one annual membership.
Supporting Partner
$6,500 per year. Badge and listing, a seat at the table when we set the research agenda and write survey questions, private previews of findings before they go public, two private analyst briefings or product updates a year, and discounts on everything else we do together.
Premier Partner
$14,500 per year. All of the above, plus one licensed research piece carrying your logo and About page, two additional analyst briefings, and a Lighthouse speaker as the guest on one of your webinars or virtual events, which for most partners pays for the membership on its own.
How partners use it
- Launch a licensed report as the centerpiece of a demand-gen campaign.
- Use analyst briefings to pressure-test positioning before a launch.
- Preview findings to get ahead of a trend in sales conversations.
- Put a Lighthouse analyst on stage at a customer event.
Combine membership with the HR Tech Awards and custom research for a full-year evidence program.
Common questions
Luminary Partnership for HR Tech Providers FAQ
What does a Supporting Partner membership include?
$6,500 per year: a website and social badge, a listing on the Lighthouse website as a Luminary, influence over the Lighthouse research agenda and survey questions, private previews of research findings before public release, up to two private analyst briefings or product updates annually, and discounted options for additional partnerships.
What does a Premier Partner membership add?
$14,500 per year: everything in Supporting, plus a license to one piece of research with your logo and About page, two additional analyst briefings or product updates annually, and one Lighthouse speaker appearing as a guest for your webinar or virtual event.
Does membership affect how Lighthouse evaluates our product?
No. Research findings, HR Tech Awards judging, and employer shortlists are independent of membership. Luminary status gives you access and visibility; it does not buy a verdict, and that independence is exactly what makes a Lighthouse association credible.
Can we do more than the membership?
Yes. Members get discounted rates on custom research, additional licensed pieces, keynotes, and advisory work. Many partners start with Supporting and grow into a broader research program.
