Description
This project follows a streamlined, data-driven approach to benchmark roles and deliver clear, actionable compensation guidance.
- Role Review
Review job descriptions and current salary data and clarify scope or responsibilities as needed to ensure accurate comparisons.
- Market Benchmarking
Each role will be matched to comparable nonprofit and mission-driven positions using reputable national compensation sources. Will analyze market ranges, including 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles.
- Alignment Analysis
Current compensation will be evaluated against market data to determine whether roles are under, over, or appropriately positioned, taking into account organizational size, geography, and budget considerations.
- Recommendations
Will receive practical, implementation-ready guidance outlining whether to adjust, maintain, or monitor pay levels, along with considerations for future hiring.
- Scope
The review is based primarily on job descriptions and compensation data provided by your small organization and includes one kickoff meeting, one final presentation, one consolidated report, and one round of revisions. Additional services may be provided by mutual agreement for an additional cost.
- Deliverables
The engagement includes a comprehensive written market analysis report, role-by-role benchmarking tables with percentile comparisons, summary insights and trends, clear recommendations for each position, an executive-ready summary for leadership or board use, and one virtual presentation to explain results.
