HR systems & processes

Job architecture & grading

Build a consistent way to describe, compare and grade jobs before making pay or progression decisions. We evaluate the role rather than the person occupying it.

Discuss your grading project

Who this is for

  • HR leaders establishing a common job framework
  • Growing or reorganizing businesses with overlapping responsibilities

When to start

  • Job titles no longer reflect responsibility or complexity
  • Pay and promotion decisions are difficult to explain consistently

What you receive

  • Job families and role profiles
  • Agreed evaluation factors and a calibrated grade structure
  • Pay-range design and guidance for maintaining the framework

How we work

  1. Define the scope

    Agree job families, required data and the decision-making committee.

  2. Evaluate and calibrate

    Review roles with managers, apply agreed factors and resolve inconsistencies.

  3. Prepare implementation

    Confirm the structure, discuss pay-range assumptions and hand over maintenance guidance.
