Sharesies, a fast-growing fintech company committed to creating financial empowerment for all, found itself hitting a frustrating blocker when it came to remuneration reviews. Relying on traditional salary surveys meant waiting for annual data drops - which posed a real problem for out-of-cycle salary adjustments. Even when surveys did arrive, they were already out of date.
“Having to wait for a certain time of year to get salary surveys is a blocker for out of cycle increases. But also salary surveys are a bit problematic in general as they are immediately out of date.”
- Vic Roper, Manager People Experience
With a rapidly evolving talent market and a need to move quickly, Sharesies knew it was time to rethink how they accessed and used remuneration data.
Solution: LiveRem’s real-time salary benchmarking platform
Sharesies implemented LiveRem to gain access to real-time, dynamic remuneration data and immediately noticed the difference. The easy integration with BambooHR meant the transition was seamless, even for non-technical team members.
“The platform is very straightforward and easy to use. The integration with BambooHR was super easy to set up, which I especially appreciate as a non-tech person.”
- Vic Roper, Manager People Experience
LiveRem’s user-friendly platform and responsive support team made onboarding effortless, but the real game-changer was the access to always-current salary insights.
Impact: faster, more confident salary decisions
By using real-time market data, Sharesies is now able to confidently assess and adjust salaries throughout the year — not just during formal review cycles. This agility helps them stay competitive in a tight labour market and ensures fairness and accuracy in compensation decisions.
“Having dynamic rem data is a real benefit for making sure that salaries will (actually) be competitive in the current market.”
- Vic Roper, Manager People Experience

Sharesies now recommends LiveRem to any company that wants to make smarter, faster remuneration decisions without relying on outdated salary surveys.
“I definitely recommend LiveRem to companies that are wanting to have dynamic, real-time market remuneration data at their fingertips.”
