About Claritava

Built out of practice.

Claritava grew out of more than 15 years of HR work. Out of the daily experience of what pay structures really look like and where fair pay fails in practice. This story does not begin with software, it begins with an observation.

The story behind Claritava

From an observation to a platform.

How it started

The same picture, in every company.

In more than 15 years in HR leadership roles at international companies I have seen pay structures up close. Structures grown over years. Roles defined differently in every department. Pay data spread across several systems and barely comparable.

The HR teams I worked with wanted fair pay. What was missing was the time and the tools to make it verifiable. A clean pay analysis meant either weeks of spreadsheet work or a consulting mandate of EUR 50,000 to 200,000 a year.

Why should fair pay depend on whether a company can afford expensive consulting?

The idea behind Claritava

Practical knowledge, translated into a platform.

With consulting I could help individual companies. The knowledge stayed expensive and tied to single projects. With the EU Pay Transparency Directive, which has applied since June 2026, fair pay reaches every company with 100 or more employees.

That is where Claritava came from. The platform turns what used to be consultant knowledge into a clear process an HR team runs itself. Uncover pay gaps from the data, order pay structures and produce EUPTD-compliant reports without waiting for outside help.

Fair pay should be workable for every HR team, not only for the few with the largest budget.

The co-founder
After more than a decade in HR consulting I have seen how manual processes and missing pay structures slow whole teams down. Claritava was created to change that: a solution built from real HR experience, not from theory.

Henning Albers spent more than 15 years in HR leadership roles at international companies, with stations in the automotive, healthcare and industrial sectors. Before founding Claritava he built his own HR consultancy in Würzburg.

Today he leads Claritava and shapes, with his experience from everyday HR work, how the platform orders pay structures and makes fair pay verifiable.

What we stand for

Equal. Transparent. Fair.

Three words that have described what we work on with Claritava from day one.

  • Equal Equal pay for work of equal value.

    Every role is evaluated against the same factors. That makes comparable what was barely comparable in grown structures, and work of equal value is paid equally.

  • Transparent Decisions that can be explained.

    Every pay decision is documented in the system and stays traceable afterwards. When pay logic is understandable for everyone, trust grows in the team.

  • Fair Workable day to day, not just on paper.

    Fair pay has to work in daily business. That is why Claritava guides HR teams step by step through the process, from the first import to the finished report.

  • 0 years of HR experience as the basis
  • 0 platform for fair pay
  • 0 EUPTD-compliant in a few steps
  • EU GDPR-compliant, hosted in the EU
