Challenge

Expanding globally is no small feat, especially when it comes to compensation strategy. Before partnering with CandorIQ, UpKeep lacked access to reliable international benchmarking data. Their global hiring process relied heavily on user-generated data, resulting in time-consuming efforts to create job families, establish pay ranges, and strategize headcount planning. As a fast-growing company, this inefficiency posed a significant roadblock to their expansion into new markets like the Philippines and Colombia, where compensation data is notoriously limited.

Pain-points

• Inaccurate global pay data
• Time-consuming job architecture design
