Case Study: Malt builds a reliable compensation model with Figures

Accurate data powers Malt’s growth into new markets

Malt, a French professional services marketplace connecting brands with freelancers, faced challenges in establishing reliable salary benchmarks during a period of high growth. Its previous method of using unreliable public data and manager anecdotes was messy and unsustainable for scaling its hiring. To create a solid and fair compensation structure, Malt turned to the vendor Figures for its live salary data platform.

By implementing Figures' data, Malt built a verifiable 11-level salary grid, eliminating guesswork. The solution provided accurate benchmarks for recruitment and internal pay reviews, saving the company time and money during hiring negotiations. The data also increased internal credibility and provided a scalable model for Malt's international expansion, empowering local HR managers to make confident, data-backed compensation decisions.
