How the VP of Operations from GoCardless built a data-driven, people-first culture

The Challenge

GoCardless, a fintech leader in automated bank payments, struggled with a rigid HR platform dependent on spreadsheets and limited integration. The company needed a modern HCM to automate processes, enhance data reliability, and improve the employee experience.

The Solution

GoCardless implemented Bob to simplify workflows, improve visibility, and centralize employee data. The team launched Bob’s Compensation module, automated core HR functions, and integrated essential tools to improve operational efficiency.

The Results

With Bob, GoCardless fostered a data-driven, people-first culture. The Compensation module provided full pay transparency, increasing retention, trust, and equity. Bob also supported closing the gender pay gap and strengthening internal mobility.

One of the challenges of our previous system was a lack of integration with different tools. We wanted a tool with streamlined workflows, a stronger compensation module, and one that enables self-service. So we chose Bob because of its flexibility and the tools it provides, not only for our people team, but also for our managers.
