Challenge

Few industries understand the importance of compensation and budgeting the way financial services do. So, when it came to managing merit cycles and their employees’ comp and equity adjustments, SigFig wanted to make sure they invested in the best platform. Before partnering with CandorIQ, SigFig’s merit cycle process was very manual and time consuming. The HR team spent months collecting and comparing data, holding hours and hours of meetings to align with and train various stakeholders, and then manually calibrating everything in spreadsheets
