Why request a vendor report?
A KonduitHUB vendor report saves you weeks of RFP cycles and vendor outreach by delivering a data-backed shortlist of 3-5 providers matched to your specific needs in days, not months. Drawing on 20+ years of client-side experience managing global expansion and compliance projects, I've seen firsthand how traditional selection processes waste time on mismatched proposals and unqualified vendors. The report compresses your path to selection by pre-screening partners against your requirements, so you only spend time with providers who actually fit your services, regions, budget, and execution needs.

How is this different from a directory or marketplace?
Directories charge providers to be listed and marketplaces often favor whoever spends the most or bids lowest, introducing bias and noise into your search. KonduitHUB is fundamentally different: there are no public listings, no bidding wars, and no pay-to-play dynamics. Companies receive a ranked, anonymous shortlist based on objective scoring against your requirements. Providers compete on capabilities and fit, not on discounts or advertising spend. You see a transparent evaluation of who can actually deliver, and providers only learn about opportunities that match their strengths.
-
How is this different from traditional methods?
Traditional vendor selection relies on personal networks, incumbent relationships, and consultant recommendations that can be slow, biased, and incomplete. KonduitHUB applies a clear, data-backed scoring system so you see an objective comparison of relevant providers side-by-side. Instead of chasing down vendors based on who you know, you get a comprehensive evaluation of who can actually deliver the work. The shortlist compresses your selection timeline while giving you visibility into providers you may not have discovered through traditional channels.
-
Is KonduitHUB biased toward certain providers?
No. KonduitHUB doesn't sell sponsorships, paid placements, or preferential rankings. Matches are generated using transparent, objective criteria, and the scoring methodology is designed to be explainable and fair. Providers don't pay to be in the network or to receive opportunities, they're evaluated purely on their capabilities, regional coverage, service expertise, and fit with your requirements. Both the company and provider must mutually opt in before an introduction is made, ensuring recommendations stay impartial and trust-building for both sides.
-
How are providers evaluated?
Each provider receives a structured score based on publicly available information, industry benchmarks, compliance standards, and expertise validated through our research. The evaluation framework incorporates your specific requirements—services needed, regions covered, risk profile, budget parameters, and execution timeline—to generate objective rankings. As the network grows, direct provider input and verified performance data will deepen evaluations, but the foundation remains transparent and rooted in what providers can demonstrably deliver, not what they claim in sales materials.
-
Who are the providers in your network?
In the initial phase, providers are identified through structured research across global expansion and compliance services and regions, drawing on 20+ years of industry knowledge and benchmarking. As the network grows, it will expand to include fully onboarded providers who contribute detailed profiles and validated performance information. The goal is comprehensive coverage across EOR, legal entity setup, payroll, tax, immigration, and compliance services worldwide, ensuring companies receive relevant matches regardless of where they're expanding or what services they need.
-
How does the success fee work?
Providers only pay when they win business that originated through KonduitHUB. There are no listing fees, subscriptions, or costs for companies to request or receive reports. The success fee is paid by the provider only when a deal closes, ensuring complete alignment between KonduitHUB's incentives and successful outcomes. This model keeps the matching and introduction process free from pay-to-play dynamics, so companies receive objective recommendations and providers only invest when they've actually secured new business.
-
Do I have to pay for the report?
KonduitHUB's core matching and introduction process is completely free for companies. You can request and review anonymized vendor matches at no upfront cost, and KonduitHUB will focus on securing introductions where there is genuine mutual interest. If none of your selected providers choose to engage based on your anonymized profile, you'll have the option to unlock a one-time paid upgrade that reveals provider identities and gives you full access to the complete analysis, ensuring the work still delivers value even without introductions.
-
Are introductions to providers guaranteed?
Introductions are not guaranteed. After you review your anonymized provider shortlist and select the providers you're most interested in, KonduitHUB shares an anonymized summary of your requirements with those providers. Introductions only happen where there is clear mutual interest from both sides. If a provider declines or does not respond, no introduction is made. This mutual opt-in approach protects both parties from wasting time on misaligned opportunities and ensures that when connections happen, they're built on genuine fit and interest.
-
What happens if no providers move forward?
If none of the providers you selected choose to engage based on your anonymized profile, no introductions will be made for that report. In that scenario, you'll have the option to unlock a one-time paid upgrade that reveals provider identities and gives you full access to the underlying analysis and recommendations. Even without introductions, the research and evaluation still deliver value by showing you which providers best match your needs, giving you the intelligence to pursue outreach on your own terms if you choose.
-
How does this fit with my sales team?
KonduitHUB complements your sales team by delivering buyers who already have defined needs and strong alignment with your services and markets. Your team spends less time qualifying leads and more time advancing real opportunities through the pipeline. Instead of chasing down cold prospects or navigating lengthy RFP cycles, your sellers engage with companies that have been pre-matched to your strengths and are actively looking for what you offer. This increases conversion rates and shortens sales cycles while letting your team focus on high-value relationship building.
-
What if my requirements change?
If your requirements change after receiving your report, you can request a new report aligned to your updated needs at any time. This ensures you always have a current, accurate view of suitable providers as your expansion plans, regional priorities, service needs, or budget parameters evolve. KonduitHUB is designed to support your decision-making throughout your global expansion journey, not just at a single point in time, so you can adapt your vendor strategy as your business requirements shift.
