Market Pricing

Your Problems, Our Solutions

Data Gaps

When your compensation system lacks comprehensive or HR-reported data, you can’t confidently market price a job—or group roles meaningfully—making your job market pricing weak and defensible. CompAnalyst delivers access to over 800 million data points and powerful matching tools so you can confidently price jobs based on real-world data.

Competitive Edge

In a fast-moving talent market, relying on outdated or generic benchmarks means you may not accurately market price a job — risking over-paying or being under-competitive. CompAnalyst provides a streamlined job market pricing workflow so you can quickly price a job with precision and stay ahead of the competition.

Complexity

Job market pricing often involves disjointed spreadsheets, multiple survey sources, and manual adjustments — making it difficult to price a job timely and consistently. CompAnalyst simplifies the process with one integrated platform, enabling you to match, scope and price jobs in a few clicks and bring clarity to your compensation decisions.

"CompAnalyst is far more efficient than traditional survey job matching - I can get data for managers in a matter of minutes, not 30 minutes using traditional methods."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is market pricing?

Toggle icon
Market pricing, or benchmarking a job, is the process used to determine the external value of a position, and it is fast becoming the norm for organizations as they establish competitive compensation practices.

Toggle icon
