Sourcegraph's Winning Strategy: Elevating the Employee Experience through Pay Transparency
Summary
Assemble Enables Sourcegraph’s Pay Transparency Strategy
Sourcegraph viewed Pay Transparency as a strategic imperative, but lacked a consistent system to manage the transition to transparency. Using Assemble's comprehensive compensation management platform, Sourcegraph improved employee sentiment through pay transparency, created differentiation in the market for talent, and solidified HR as a strategic partner internally. This case study explores how Sourcegraph transformed its compensation strategy with Assemble, resulting in a more transparent and efficient system.
“Employees are empowered to have full visibility to their pay, which builds trust and motivates employees to achieve more and grow at Sourcegraph. Assemble enabled our Pay Transparency strategy.”

background
Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform that strongly values a pay-transparent culture.
Painpoints
Pay Transparency legislation, coupled with Sourcegraph’s employee friendly culture, resulted in a desire to make compensation transparency a core cultural pillar for Sourcegraph. While some companies took a reactive approach, Sourcegraph turned Pay Transparency into their competitive advantage. With buy-in from the executive team, the HR leadership at Sourcegraph was empowered to execute their strategy. However, the team lacked a centralized and easily shareable system to manage and share their Radford-based compensation bands which blocked their pay transparency rollout.
Challenge
Sourcegraph needed a centralized platform for efficiently sharing compensation bands to all employees.
Painpoints
Sourcegraph’s global compensation bands needed to be centralized, accessible on-demand, and clearly explained to support their pay transparency strategy. Without clearly explainable bands and easy access, Sourcegraph knew their Pay Transparency initiative could backfire, causing an erosion of trust and a negative employee experience.

Sourcegraph implemented Assemble’s Band Management and Employee Portal modules to create a single source of truth for compensation. Using Employee Portal, the HR team quickly granted access to all employees, which enabled them to see their total compensation, equity grants, and compensation bands on-demand. The People team delivered clarity to employees through rollout and effectively fielded the anticipated questions by referencing Assemble as their source of truth.
