02
Once a company passes 30 people, the founder can no longer follow everyone's work. Raises and promotions get decided one person at a time, and staff can't see why one colleague moved up and another didn't.
Good people leave over unclear pay, and managers spend review season arguing about ratings with no shared standard.

03
We interview every manager and a sample of staff to map each role and what it actually involves. From that we write job levels with clear expectations for each level.
We design a review process that fits your size: what managers rate, how often, and how ratings lead to pay and promotion. Pay bands come from your current payroll and market data you can check.
We then run the first review cycle with you, train your managers, and adjust the forms based on what they tell us.
04

Job levels come from interviews with your managers about the work your people do.
The project includes your first review cycle, so problems show up while we are still there to fix them.
Your HR lead gets every form, guide, and spreadsheet and can run the next cycle without us.
05
First call: tell us your headcount, your current rules, and what is not working. We send a proposal within a week.
Weeks 1–4: interviews with managers and staff, and a review of your current pay data.
Weeks 5–9: draft job levels, review process, and pay bands, refined in two workshops with your managers.
Weeks 10–13: manager training and the first review cycle.
Week 14: final report, with changes based on the first cycle.

Yes. We sign an NDA before we see any data, and interview notes are shared only as summaries without names.
Yes. Job levels alone take about six weeks, and you can add reviews and pay later.
