Gapsquare is the software development and HR tech company revolutionising the problem of fair pay through tracking pay disparity, pay equality and pay gap data.
Founded by Dr. Zara Nanu, Gapsqaure provides HR and Reward professionals and inclusive employers actionable insights on existing pay gaps within any given company.
