This month, we’re turning the tables to focus on HCM solutions. More specifically, April’s chat is themed “How to Buy HR Software.” But before we dive right into the chat details, we have some announcements.
It’s official! #HRforAll officially turns 1! Huge congratulations and pat on the back to Cory, myself, and all of you who attend our Twitter chat each month.

The Rules of a Twitter Chat
A Twitter chat is a LIVE chat that takes place on Twitter. People “gather” at a certain day and time to talk about a certain topic. There is usually one or two people who moderate or host the chat, who post questions to guide the conversation.
Questions are all marked with a Q and labeled with numbers to help everyone keep track of the flow of the conversation. People responding to questions should mark their answers with an A and the corresponding number.
For example, the moderators/ hosts will post “Q1” and everyone will answer with tweets marked “A1.”Additionally, all Tweets – both questions and answers – will use the hashtag #HRforAll. That’s how we’ll all stay connected on Twitter during the chat.
