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.

Inaccurate global pay data
Limited data in emerging markets
Time-consuming job architecture design
Inefficient headcount planning

UpKeep partnered with CandorIQ to gain access to comprehensive global benchmarking data, enabling them to scale efficiently from the U.S. to five countries.
