Challenge

Cover Genius needed a more proactive, AI-powered way to identify retention risk and compensation misalignment—especially across highly marketable technical roles.

Before CandorIQ, the team relied on reactive signals like exits, escalations, and manual comp checks, which surfaced issues late and required time-consuming analysis. Without a centralized, predictive view powered by AI, it was difficult to spot risk early, act consistently, or confidently align compensation decisions to market movement and employee sentiment.

Pain points

  • Reactive Retention Signals
  • Manual Compensation Analysis
  • Limited Predictive Insight
  • Hidden Misalignment.Inconsistent Intervention
