Data That Drives Decisions.

We do the heavy lifting of raw data extraction, normalization, and reporting so your HR team can focus on strategy and negotiation.

Global Salary Benchmarking

Pulling verified compensation data across 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles to ensure your base salaries are exactly aligned with market realities.

Geo-Differential Mapping

Hiring remotely? We calculate localized pay multipliers (e.g., San Francisco vs. Austin vs. Warsaw) so you pay fairly based on local cost of labor.

Competitor Benefits Intel

Scraping job boards and aggregator sites to reverse-engineer what your direct competitors are offering in terms of equity, bonuses, PTO, and health perks.

Job Levelling Frameworks

Assisting HR in building standardized internal title hierarchies (e.g., L1 to L6) and attaching exact compensation bands to prevent internal pay inequity.

Offer Competitiveness Audits

Before you send an offer to a critical executive hire, your VA runs a rapid 24-hour audit to confirm your offer won't be immediately outbid.

Data Normalization & Cleaning

Taking messy spreadsheet exports from multiple salary providers and normalizing the data into clean, presentation-ready pivot tables for leadership.

Agile Data vs. Slow Consultants.

Traditional compensation consulting firms charge massive retainers and take weeks to deliver static PDF reports. The modern market moves faster.

Traditional Consulting Firms

  • Exorbitant Fees

    Charging $300-$500 per hour or massive $20k+ flat fees for a single, one-off annual compensation review.

  • Static, Stale Data

    They deliver a massive PDF report. By the time you hire 3 months later, market rates for technical roles have already shifted.

  • Slow Turnaround

    Need a quick gut-check on a specific role? You have to submit a formal request and wait 2 weeks for an answer.

The Agile Solution

  • Rapid Ad-Hoc Requests

    Opening a new weirdly specific role? Ping your VA in Slack and get a custom market benchmarking report in 24-48 hours.

  • Zero Markup Pricing

    Pay strictly for the hours of research executed at a flat offshore rate. No consultant bloat or retainers.

Data & Methodology FAQs

Where does the VA pull the salary data from?
The VA utilizes a mix of data sources based on your preferences. They can mine public aggregators like Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, and LinkedIn Salary insights. If your company pays for premium licenses to databases like Radford, Payscale, or Mercer, the VA can securely log in to extract highly verified, industry-specific reports.
How do we know the data logic is sound?
This is where our Project Management layer is crucial. The PM sets up the specific methodology (e.g., stripping top/bottom 10% outliers, applying a specific geo-modifier formula). The PM audits the VA’s final spreadsheets to ensure the math is accurate before passing it to your HR leadership.
Can they handle specialized, niche roles?
Yes. When standard job titles don't map perfectly to market data, the VA performs "skills-based" benchmarking. Instead of just searching the title, they break down the job description and pull market data for comparable skills and seniority levels to synthesize an accurate comp range.
