Challenge

Before partnering with CandorIQ, Elevate Labs managed their compensation cycles using a heavily manual process reliant on CSV uploads and extensive vendor intervention. With little self-serve functionality, the HR team spent months preparing for compensation cycles, holding frequent meetings with their vendor to correct data, and manually applying location differentials across compensation bands. The process was time-consuming, error-prone, and costly, leaving the team searching for a more efficient, self-sufficient solution to streamline their operations and reduce costs.

Pain-points

  • Manual processes
  • Location differentials
  • High vendor costs
  • Time consumption
  • Limited self-serve functionality
  • Error-prone workflows
