How GoCardless’s VP of Operations built a data-driven, people-first culture

The Challenge

A fintech leader in automated bank payments, GoCardless was frustrated with a clunky HR platform that depended on spreadsheets and offered limited integration. They needed a modern HCM to automate HR processes, improve data accuracy, and elevate the employee experience.

The Solution

GoCardless implemented Bob to centralise data, streamline workflows, and boost transparency. They rolled out Bob’s Compensation module, automated core HR functions, and integrated with key tools to boost efficiency and visibility.

The Results

Bob helped GoCardless build a data-driven, people-first culture. Full pay transparency through the Compensation module boosted retention, trust, and equity. The company also closed its gender pay gap and enhanced 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.
