About the client

Tailscale is a secure networking platform that makes it easy for teams to connect their devices, services, and infrastructure—no matter where they are.

Challenge

Tailscale needed to run a fast, efficient, and accurate merit cycle—without the heavy lift of manual tools and disjointed processes. In past cycles, compensation letters were built manually, often revised up to the last minute, and shared without a consistent system for formatting or delivery. This led to delays, version control issues, and confusion for managers and employees alike. Without a centralized platform, the team was burdened by spreadsheet-heavy workflows and lacked the structure needed to scale comp processes with the company’s growth.

Pain points

• Manual Comp Letters
• Disorganized Processes 
• Slow Turnaround
• Limited Pay Transparency
• Manager Confusion

Solution

Tailscale partnered with CandorIQ to run its next comp cycle on a clean, automated foundation. Within two weeks, the CandorIQ team configured and launched the platform—integrating with BambooHR, Carta, and Greenhouse—and enabling the team to roll out their comp cycle without delay. With automated workflows, pre-built comp letters, and clear manager guidance, HR could focus on strategy instead of logistics. The result was a faster cycle, happier managers, and employees who finally had full visibility into their pay.
