Comp leaders say it best

With Pave, we can offer transparency for managers in terms of how they should reward employees and also how they can responsibly allocate their budget. It’s a huge benefit to have managers aligned and bought into the comp philosophy and how it’s executed so they can have better conversations with their employees.

Amelia Skagias

Manager, Compensation

Prior to Pave, we did not have established compensation bands. Pave was efficient and effective in helping us to identify the correct benchmarks to use to build our compensation bands. The Pave team was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process, which saved us a ton of time and set us up perfectly for our future merit cycle

Sr. HR Business Partner

The Compensation Bands product allows us to empower our managers with data to be able to speak confidently to their direct reports and make fair compensation decisions.

With Pave, rather than wasting time managing spreadsheets, we can focus on more critical aspects of the business, like making data-driven decisions when it comes to our employee’s compensation.

Pave has been an amazing compensation tool for our portfolio. Integrating via API has dramatically lowered the upfront effort to get started, eliminated the need to manually upload their data year over year, and given them a truly real-time view of compensation benchmarks.

For venture-backed startups where equity is a meaningful part of the compensation plan, I think Pave is going to be best practice to visualize what equity could be worth.

We didn’t have to retrain our team to talk about equity in a certain way, the tool just reflected the dialogue we already wanted to have with candidates and employees.
