Salary benchmarking

Salary benchmarking HR services UK

Not sure if the salaries you’re offering are competitive?

We can take the guesswork out of it. Our salary benchmarking service shows you exactly how your pay measures up against equivalent roles in other comparable businesses and locations, so you can make confident decisions about salaries, bonuses, and employee benefits & perks.

Why use us:
When you’re running a small or growing business, every penny of your salary budget counts. You want to keep your best people, attract great new ones, and make sure you’re paying fairly without overstretching. That’s where we come in — giving you clear, up-to-date market data so you can strike the right balance.

Unlike recruitment agencies, we have no vested interest in raising salaries to secure a new hire. Our advice is completely impartial – based solely on what’s right for your business, your market, and your people. For example, we sometimes find that the “going rate” quoted during recruitment is higher than the true market average – meaning you could end up paying more than you need to.

How it works:

  • 1. You share the basics – salary, bonus, benefits and job info for each role.
  • 2. We dig into the detail – looking at skills, qualifications, seniority, location, and company size.
  • 3. We compare the market – using trusted pay databases and surveys.
  • 4. You get a clear, comprehensive and thorough report – showing where you’re ahead, behind, or on par, plus practical suggestions and recommendations.

When it’s useful:

  • Planning your annual pay review.
  • Hiring for a new or hard-to-fill role.
  • Preparing for a restructure.
  • Tackling retention challenges.

Why work with us:
We’ve helped SMEs across all sorts of industries figure out fair and competitive pay. We’re independent, straight-talking, and we’ve got access to professional pay benchmarking data that you won’t find for free online.
