Expert Job Evaluation that Balances Employee Value with Business Objectives
Organisational excellence, equitable job structures and transparent compensation are essential for sustainable growth.
However, creating fair, defensible pay scales that reflect true job value remains a challenge for most employers.
Our job evaluation work uses analytical points-factor evaluation, the same family of method as the Hay Method. Every role is scored on the same factors, and every score carries a written reason.
This systematic methodology enables objective measurement of job worth and compensation structures that align with both market realities and internal equity.
Our evaluators trained in the Hay Method. Where your organisation holds its own Korn Ferry licence, we work within it. Where it does not, we design a scheme your organisation owns, with no licence to buy.

Questions about this service
What is job evaluation?
Job evaluation is a structured way of measuring the relative size of each role, so pay grades rest on evidence instead of gut feel. Our work uses analytical points-factor evaluation: every role is scored on the same factors, and every score carries a written reason you can explain to staff.
What does a job evaluation service include?
It includes a framework set up for your business, standardised job descriptions, evaluation of every role, pay grades aligned with market rates and internal equity, salary positioning analysis, clear career progression pathways, and regular reviews with HR training. It sits in our Reward Offer, which builds a fair, defensible pay structure.
How does your job evaluation relate to the Hay Method?
Our evaluators trained in the Hay Method, which Korn Ferry owns and licenses to the organisations that use it. Where your organisation holds its own Korn Ferry licence, we work within it. Where it does not, we design an analytical points-factor scheme in the same family of method, owned by you, with no licence to buy.
When does a business need job evaluation?
When pay has grown without a plan. The common signs are headcount growth without a pay review, pay rises handed out reactively, retention problems despite rising pay costs, and different salaries for the same role. Job evaluation replaces those habits with grades you can explain to staff and defend if challenged.
How is job evaluation done?
In stages. We set up a framework for your business and standardise the job descriptions. Every role is then scored on the same analytical factors, with a written reason behind each score. The scores set pay grades aligned with market rates and internal equity, and regular reviews keep them current. Book a free 30-minute discovery call to talk it through.
