"Simple Market Data Search That Makes REM Reviews Faster"

4/5

What do you like best about LiveRem?

Simple way to search market data. It makes REM reviews much easier for the majority of roles. I like that we can quickly see where staff are sitting (on target, below, etc.) and identify who we need to increase. The graphs are also useful when reporting to SLT. JD matching for mapping was helpful, especially for more common roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LiveRem?

It can be slow to load at times.

Several of our roles had low trust scores because there wasn’t enough market data. As a result, we still had to do our own external benchmarking to validate remuneration levels, which reduced the platform’s value for those positions.

We also found some role JDs missing during mapping (e.g., Software Delivery Manager / Product Delivery Manager). The benchmarking is only as good as the role mapping.

It focuses on cash remuneration, so we’re not seeing total remuneration, including bonuses, benefits, ESOP, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LiveRem solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can benchmark around 70% of our organisation using LiveRem, which has made our annual remuneration review much more efficient. We only need to do external benchmarking for roles where there isn't enough data.

It's much easier to have conversations with managers and employees when we can show them where their salary sits against the market using live data.

The data gives employees, the SLT and the Board more confidence in our remuneration decisions compared to using recruitment agency salary guides.

Having one source of market data helps us make more consistent and informed remuneration decisions across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
