Same job title compensated differently across departments with no defensible rationale. Promotions delayed for months debating 'the right level' because there's no clear framework.

What You Need Before Starting
No formal prerequisites required—this is a foundational module enabling all Total Rewards work. However, Job Architecture provides the optimal role structure foundation. These items accelerate execution:
Foundation of Your Entire HR Strategy
Job Mapping & Grading is the foundation for all compensation and organizational design work—enabling critical downstream capabilities.
Requires clear job definitions to match market data accurately. Cannot benchmark without systematic job evaluation.
Compensation ranges must be built on defensible job levels. Pay bands require grade structure foundation.
Total rewards philosophy requires role-based framework. Cannot design comprehensive rewards without job structure.
Pay equity analysis requires consistent job evaluation. Cannot analyze gaps without comparable job levels.
Directive mandates gender-neutral job evaluation framework. Job Mapping & Grading provides this foundation.
Performance expectations tied to role requirements from job grading. Enables level-based performance criteria.
Succession planning requires career architecture clarity. Talent pipelines need clear role progression.
Executive roles need clear organizational positioning. Requires job evaluation foundation.
Natural extension and evolution of Job Mapping & Grading foundation work.
Span/layer optimization requires role clarity. Job structure enables organizational efficiency analysis.
Talent assessment more effective with clear role definitions. Job framework enhances skills mapping.
Strategic Truth
Every Fortune 500 company has systematic job evaluation. It's not optional infrastructure—it's the foundation enabling strategic compensation, defensible pay equity, clear career paths, and regulatory compliance. Build this first, or watch every downstream initiative fail.

November 2025 Launch - Be Among the First
Why Register for Early Access Now?
June 7, 2026 EU Pay Transparency deadline is 478 days away. Job Mapping & Grading provides the gender-neutral job evaluation framework required by the Directive—a mandatory prerequisite for compliance.
Organizations starting in November 2025 have 7 months to complete job evaluation, pay gap analysis (DEI-56), and compliance reporting (DEI-1) before the deadline. Late starters risk non-compliance penalties and legal exposure.
Job Mapping & Grading is the systematic process of evaluating all positions in your organization using a consistent, defensible methodology to create clear job levels, career paths, and compensation foundations. It's the infrastructure Fortune 500 companies build first before any Total Rewards or pay equity work. HRBFLY's AI-powered module delivers in 4-8 weeks what traditionally takes 6-9 months with expensive consultants.
Without systematic job evaluation, you have: (1) indefensible compensation decisions creating legal risk, (2) pay equity analysis impossible due to inconsistent job structures, (3) career paths unclear causing retention issues, (4) hiring delays debating job levels, (5) promotion decisions appearing political rather than merit-based, (6) EU Pay Transparency compliance impossible (June 2026 deadline requires gender-neutral job evaluation you lack).
Org charts show reporting relationships (who reports to whom). Job Mapping & Grading defines the work itself—evaluating job complexity, creating consistent levels, establishing career progression logic, and building compensation foundations. They're complementary. You need both. Job evaluation enables Total Rewards while org design optimizes structure (ORG-5: Org Design Optimization).
We use proven point-factor evaluation methodology customized to your organization. Your framework typically evaluates jobs based on skills/knowledge required, problem-solving complexity, accountability/impact, and working conditions. This approach is legally defensible, bias-tested, and aligned with best practices used by Fortune 500 companies globally.
No. HRBFLY Copilot provides AI-guided tools that walk you through each step with best practice frameworks and validation. If you have HR experience and can make strategic decisions about your organization, you can execute this module. For organizations lacking compensation expertise or requiring guaranteed outcomes, Premium service provides expert-led execution.
4-8 weeks customer-paced implementation (depends on organizational readiness, job count, stakeholder availability, and documentation quality). This is 60-75% faster than traditional 6-9 month consulting projects. Premium service delivers in 2-3 weeks guaranteed with expert execution.
1,700-3,300 credits depending on organizational complexity factors: job count, job families, geographic scope, documentation quality, and stakeholder coordination requirements. Small organizations (80-150 employees): 1,700-2,000 credits. Mid-size (300-600 employees): 2,200-2,700 credits. Large (1,000-2,500 employees): 2,800-3,300 credits. You see the detailed estimate before starting with full transparency.
Job Mapping & Grading includes union consultation framework templates and documentation standards for collective bargaining contexts. Union environments add 15-25% to credit consumption due to consultation requirements and enhanced quality assurance for defensibility. Timeline extends moderately for consultation cycles. Premium service includes expert facilitation of union stakeholder alignment.
Yes. HRBFLY supports 80 countries with jurisdiction-specific compliance knowledge. Job evaluation frameworks can be globally consistent while accommodating local legal requirements. Multi-country scope affects credit consumption (coordination across jurisdictions) but is fully supported. Premium service includes legal validation for each jurisdiction.
Poor documentation quality adds approximately 25% to credit consumption for cleanup and creation work. The module builds job profiles concurrently with evaluation framework—often creating stronger, more relevant definitions than updating outdated documents. This is actually an opportunity to establish current, defensible role clarity rather than perpetuating obsolete descriptions.
Yes. We integrate with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP, Deel, Remote, Rippling, Oracle HCM, BambooHR, and others via API. You can also upload CSV/Excel files if you prefer manual data transfer. Integration is for data import only—your HRIS remains your system of record.
Job Mapping & Grading provides the foundational gender-neutral job evaluation framework required by the EU Pay Transparency Directive. Full compliance requires additional modules: DEI-56 (Pay Gap Analysis & Remediation) and DEI-1 (EU Pay Transparency Compliance Reporting). This module alone doesn't guarantee compliance but is the mandatory prerequisite—you cannot comply without it.
Job Mapping & Grading is included in HRBFLY Copilot subscription (€250/month, €3,000 annually). Module consumes 1,700-3,300 credits based on complexity. Credits consumed transparently as you execute each deliverable phase. Premium alternative available with fixed package pricing (varies by scope, job count, geographic complexity, and guaranteed outcome requirements).
€250/month (€3,000 annually) includes: 2 AI Audits per year (€6,000 value - €3,000 each if purchased separately), 60 Corporate X-Ray analyses annually, access to all 13 modules including Job Mapping & Grading, standard support and training. Total value delivered: €7,000-8,000+ for €3,000 investment (2.3x ROI before any module-specific value).
November 2025 Early Access launch. Module specification complete, AI agent development in progress, evaluation methodology validated with Fortune 500 best practices. Early Access members receive priority notification when platform goes live.
