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

Time consumption

Location differentials

High vendor costs

Elevate Labs partnered with CandorIQ to transform their comp cycle process, introducing self-serve capabilities, automating location differentials, and drastically reducing manual workloads. With CandorIQ’s efficient and cost-effective platform, Elevate Labs gained confidence in their compensation data, streamlined operations, and aligned compensation strategies with broader business goals.

“The platform has already delivered ROI by saving time and resources, and the team's responsiveness to customer feedback gives us confidence that CandorIQ will continue to evolve and make future cycles even more efficient.”
