job grading and evaluation

Without a structured system, compensation and promotion decisions are often based on instinct or market pressures, which creates confusion and increases turnover. An objective job evaluation system (like the HAY methodology we use) shifts the focus from individuals to roles. It allows you to build a clear organizational structure, ensure pay fairness, and offer your employees a transparent progression plan.
 

Determining a fair and competitive salary range (pay bands) requires combining internal hierarchy with the external market. At Randstad RiseSmart, we combine the structured evaluation of your company's roles with leading salary benchmarking data for the Greek market. This allows us to accurately define the upper and lower limits for each grade, ensuring your compensation is attractive to market talent and fair to your organization.

Job evaluation and grading is a systematic process that determines the objective value of each role in your organization based on the responsibilities and skills it requires, independent of the individual holding the position. Combined with salary benchmarking data from the Greek market, it creates a fair salary scale. It is the essential foundation for any modern business looking to ensure pay equity, reduce turnover, and proactively prepare for the new era of pay transparency.

Implementation time depends on the size of the organization and the number of unique roles, typically varying from 3 to 6 months. At Randstad RiseSmart, we use structured processes that allow us to complete projects significantly faster than traditional, time-consuming consulting methods. During our initial alignment meeting, we provide a clear roadmap designed to ensure a smooth and timely organizational framework.

Randstad RiseSmart's specialized consultants operate as an extension of your team. Your internal HR department's involvement is primarily focused on providing initial context regarding the company's vision, plan, and organizational structure, as well as attending alignment and feedback meetings. This allows your Human Resources department to remain focused on its daily operations while we build the new structure.

Randstad RiseSmart combines a market-leading presence in Greece with global HR expertise. Utilizing the globally recognized HAY methodology (know-how, problem-solving, accountability), we guarantee a completely objective, data-driven approach. Furthermore, we possess the most up-to-date salary benchmarking data for your industry, offering reward scales that are both internally equitable and highly competitive in the market.
