What I like best is that Figures makes comp data usable in real decisions. It’s not just abt seeing benchmarks, it’s about giving Recruiters and hiring managers a shared reference point to be used as a starting point in negotiations and offer definitions. In practice, that meant faster offer alignment, especially when hiring across geographies or in totally new markets. It doesn’t try to replace judgment or comp strategy, which I see as a strength, it supports decisions instead of pretending to automate them.

The community that the company creates around compensation issues

The team has been really great to help us match our jobs in the system which has been key to us getting accurately and timely compensation data. Their extensive data in Europe has been a tremendous help to us as a U.S. HQ company and their U.S. data has made great improvements in the last year. I can see Figures becoming (very soon) a wonderful single source for Tech based companies that have global teams.
