In this episode, Paul Reiman and Sean Luitjens sit down with Charlie Franklin, co-founder and CEO of Compa, to unpack his path into compensation, the launch of Compa during the height of the pandemic, and how AI is reshaping the future of pay.
The conversation covers why real-time compensation data matters, how AI can strengthen (not replace) human judgment, and what the future of hiring and HR technology looks like as Compa continues to scale following its Series B funding.
