Compa's real-time data network is now live in Workday HCM

The market intelligence comp teams rely on — now connected directly to where pay decisions get made.

Compensation decisions are some of the most important and costly decisions an organization makes. And for a long time, even teams with access to great market data had to leave Workday to use it — pulling from surveys, toggling between systems, and working with numbers that were already aging by the time they reached a decision.

That's the problem Compa was built to solve. Our real-time data network continuously collects and normalizes compensation data from across the market — offers, job changes, pay adjustments — so comp teams always have a live, accurate picture of what the market is paying.

Today, that network connects directly to Workday HCM.

Compa's market data is now live inside Workday — surfacing at the exact moment a compensation decision is being made.

What changes for your team

Recruiters, managers, and HR business partners now see Compa's live market benchmarks and trends directly inside Workday workflows — during Make Offer, Change Job, and pay reviews. When an employee's compensation sits below the 25th percentile, it shows up right there, in context, with no extra steps required.

The result is faster decisions, stronger internal equity, and the ability to stand behind every number. For organizations with global workforces, Compa's data network supports compensation decisions globally.

Compa's agents, now in Workday

Alongside the data connection, Compa brings two AI agents into Workday — each trained on your compensation strategy and powered by Compa's real-time market data.

For comp teams

For comp teams

Analyst Agent

Gives compensation administrators direct access to Compa's market data inside Workday. No exports, no switching — confident, data-driven decisions in the flow of work.

For recruiting

Partner Agent

Brings Compa's live market data into recruiting workflows so offers are competitive and aligned with internal pay structures from the start.

Both agents are registered within Workday's ASOR framework. Together, they close the gap between compensation and recruiting — supporting fair, consistent pay decisions from offer through review.

Live in days, not months

Compa's connection to Workday HCM is certified and built on Workday Query Language, so there's no heavy lift for your Workday team. Customers go live in under 30 calendar days — and can have Compa's market data surfacing inside Workday in less than a week.

Compa Connector is available now in the Workday Marketplace. Talk to your account executive to get started.
