Questions

Salary benchmarking: common questions.

How much does salary benchmarking cost?

Price on request. The cost depends on the number of roles you want compared. You receive a fixed-price quote in advance, so the price is settled before you commit.

Where does the comparison data come from?

We use current Swiss market data and compare by role, region and industry. Our specialists, who run payroll and recruit for clients every day, then put the numbers in context. You get a range that fits your location, industry and company size.

What if a salary is well below market?

We show you the gap in Swiss francs and calculate what closing it would cost per role and per year. We also suggest an order of priority, so you start with the biggest risk, usually your key people. Every adjustment remains your decision.

How confidential is our pay data?

We work with role-level data and treat everything confidentially. The analysis goes only to the people you name, usually management and finance. You decide what to share with your team, and we give you the talking points.
