What do you like best about CandorIQ?

The headcount planning module is one of a kind. I have yet to see a tool tackle this in a way that actually allows teams to get out of spreadsheets and automate a process that connects to your HRIS and ATS and manages approvals, projects org views into the future, and allows finance teams to more accurately budget headcount. It's such a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

Haven't come across anything the team was not able to update or customize for us. It has always been white-glove customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CandorIQ is a powerful platform across both workforce planning and compensation. It effectively enables collaboration across HR, Finance and executive leadership, reducing cross-functional friction.

"Quick to implement and addresses a lot of compensation planning needs"
5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

I'm really impressed with what CandorIQ has accomplished in it's short history. They are addressing a huge pain point for businesses around compensation planning. The application, accommodates a variety of compensation designs for smaller startup companies, and it includes embedded market data that otherwise would be a separate expense.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

I'm looking forward to see what they do around customer driven configuration options and also workforce planning that can be shared between both HR and finance teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great new product and awesome team"
5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

CandorIQ gives us a way to have all our compensation and headcount information in one place. It's secure and makes otherwise chaotic processes much more systematic. Because it helps me stay organized and better collaborate, I'm able to focus more on the bigger issues and be more strategic. For example, I love that it helps me give my people managers more hands-on access to the information to be more effective with their direct reports' growth.

I also LOVE how hands-on their team is. They've made transitioning to the product incredibly easy and they're very pleasant to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

The company hasn't been around as long as some of the players in the space and—while that has its perks—it also has its obvious disadvantages. The current product is great and their team is really helpful and responsive to feedback, so my only "dislike" is simply that there are still some features I know will come in the future that I wish they had today. I'm excited to be a design partner and have a lot of influence on the direction of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reasonably Priced Tool with an Engaged & Responsive Support Team"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

When we surveyed the comp cycle platform landscape, Candor proved to be the most flexible for our complex comp needs, while also coming in at the most reasonable price. That got us in the door, but what has kept us since is the responsiveness of the Candor team. They're open to feedback and are willing to make/update features to ensure the product works well for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

The product is still relatively new, so they're still working out some kinks and building out some of the self-serve functionality. That said, they are super responsive to feedback and issues get resolved quickly one way or another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

Candor has a great UI/UX and is extremely user friendly. We started working with CandorIQ in order to get access to more robust global compensation data, and we are very happy with the tool. The CandorIQ team also provides incredible support. They are extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

Nothing in particular. I'm very excited to see what CandorIQ builds in the future, and I think the product will continue to keep getting better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compensation is hard. CandorIQ proves it doesn't have to be."
5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

The customer support at CandorIQ is unmatched. We switched from Kamsa to CandorIQ because from day one, the Candor team took the time to understand our unique needs as an organization and customize the platform accordingly. One of the things I like best about Candor compared to other tools is that it is infinitelty customizable; from the comp builder which allows you to easily build out pay ranges for new and existing roles, to the merit cycle which allows you to seamlessly run different budget models in local currency and assign varying levels of permissions to leadership and managers. By giving managers access to their teams' compensation data to make recommendations directly in the platform, they have a newfound sense of agency in the process and trust in the equity of our programs. CandorIQ has saved us weeks in the comp cycle by better leveraging the input of dept leaders and managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

The CandorIQ platform is relatively new so when I come across a certain functionality that would be helpful (e.g. the ability to have different % increases by performance rating per geo for our merit cycle), it sometimes needs to be built. The good news is that they often roll out new features before I can request them. And the fact that SigFig is an early customer means we've had an impact on the the product roadmap and the Candor team has been able to quicly turnaround solutions.

"CandorIQ is a table stakes product in our HR stack."
5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

What I like best about CandorIQ is the ability it gives me to synthesize disparate information into an easy to use platform. It also unlocks easy collaboration and enablement across the business on compensation which in itself is super valuable. The uplift and ease of execution the product provides for annual adjustments, compensation benchmarking, compliance monitoring, and overall compensation maangement is unmatched. It's a dream tool that replaces the half dozen tabs I use to keep open in my browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

The downside of CandorIQ is like any new product its feature depth is still improving. But given how new the product is I honestly am impressed with where they are right now. I had to think hard about what I dislike about it so I think that says something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"White glove service, collaborative team, and easy-to-use platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CandorIQ?

A one-shop tool for all your compensation and merit cycle needs. CandorIQ's team was incredibly responsive to both feedback and collaborative with feature requests. They built and implemented requested features quickly and kept us in the loop along the way, ensuring both their service and platform was personalized and met our company's needs. We moved from Pave to CandorIQ for the platform itself, but also for the white-glove service, and we stand by that decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CandorIQ?

We are relatvely new to the CandorIQ platform, and there isn't currently anything that would turn us away from using the tool moving forward. The only thing to bear in mind is that the tool is relatively new, and as such there is constant refinement and updates. If something you need is missin, talk to the team. My experience has been that they will either implement it relatively quickly, or put it on their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
