Job Matching Process

No matter the organization, the salary survey job matching process requires at least two items: an internal job description and an external job description. It is not advisable to match jobs based on their titles alone, as organizations can use any title of their choosing for a position.

 
Job Matching Guidelines

Job matching procedures should be implemented each time a salary survey is purchased, even in the case of a salary survey purchased from a repeat survey vendor. Additionally, determining compensation for most internal positions will help determine compensation for any related positions not available in salary surveys.

 
In Conclusion
To summarize the job matching process, you first define your organization’s jobs; then match them to salary survey data by
job title with an approximately 80% description match; and finally, factor individual employee backgrounds to adjust the market data.
