Build the job architecture your pay decisions stand on.
What you get

One connected model behind every role.

Job evaluation

Objective evaluation instead of opinion

Score positions with pre-built evaluation templates or your own custom questionnaires. A rule engine turns those scores into job grades, which gives work of equal value a defensible basis rather than a judgement call.

  • Pre-built frameworks or fully custom criteria
  • Scores map to grades automatically through the rule engine
  • Criteria follow Article 4: skills, effort, responsibility, working conditions

Levels and grades

A leveling grid that scales with you

Place every position on a two dimensional grid of up to 30 grades, each carrying score ranges and salary band data. Sub-grades give you finer steps where you need them, and you choose how grades and sub-grades stay in sync.

  • Up to 30 grades with sub-grades for finer progression
  • Score ranges and band data attached to each grade
  • Compare positions consistently across teams and units

Equal value of work

One definition of equal value, used everywhere

Configure how comparable work is identified: by job grade, grade plus career track, job level, level plus family, custom fields, or manually linked positions. That single framework then drives analysis, alerts, employee comparisons, pay information requests and regulatory reports.

  • Comparison modes from a single grade to fully custom fields
  • The same definition in analysis, alerts and reporting
  • No conflicting answers between teams or documents

Families and career paths

Career paths people can actually navigate

Organise roles into job families and sub-families, with AI assisted detection suggesting family assignments from your existing position data. Build multiple tracks for individual contributors, managers and any custom path, each linked to levels and grades.

  • Family hierarchy with AI assisted auto detection
  • IC, management and custom career tracks
  • Tiers and levels linked directly to grades

From evaluation to every downstream decision

One flow connects the structure to the numbers your teams rely on.

01

Evaluate the position

Score the role against your framework criteria, using a template or your own questionnaire.

02

Score maps to a grade

The rule engine places the position on your leveling grid automatically.

03

Grade sets the salary band

Each grade carries its band, so pay guardrails come with the structure.

04

Everything else builds on it

Compa ratios, pay equity analysis and transparency reporting all read the same model.

Common questions about job architecture

A job architecture is the connected framework of job families, positions, levels, grades and salary bands in your organisation, together with the criteria behind each one. It becomes the backbone of compensation decisions and a single version of truth for HR, managers and recruiting.
