The process of Salary Benchmarking

1. Define and understand the target group
Before we start mapping the relevant market, our consultants will make every effort to properly assess your needs during the project in order to have a tailor-made salary benchmarking.

2. Market research and finding relevant candidates
During the project, we will use the following resources to find the relevant candidates in order to help you evolve the right pay structure:

Our completed recruitment processes
Salaries offered by our clients to candidates
Current salaries of candidates involved in recruitment processes
Market knowledge gained by our consultants specializing in a specific area and market sector
External databases
Direct inquiry in some cases

3. Market research
After the successful determination of the relevant target group, we will contact the potentially available candidates. Our goal is to gather information from employees working in the specified positions to find out more about their benefit packages.

4. Preparing the salary benchmark
After the market research, we prepare a detailed report containing the salary benchmark which provides a comprehensive overview of the specific labour market and the elements of its current compensation package.

If necessary, our consultant will stay in contact with you to find the right candidate within a specific agreement.
