“We’re thrilled to be enhancing CompAnalyst with our compensable factors functionality, driving pinpoint pricing accuracy for our customers,” said Kent Plunkett, CEO of “This new functionality expands our focus on providing our customers with the high quality, HR-reported pay data they need to find the right price, for the right job, every time, and will allow our customers to refine their unique prices for benchmark jobs, tailoring prices to reflect their internal company job requirements and the skills they need to be successful in today’s evolving business landscape. Our new compensable factors functionality will enable our customers to reflect the true value of each job’s unique required skills and experience, rather than relying simply on ‘close enough’ matches within traditional data sets.”

This data extends across multiple job families, functions, and foci, with a specific focus on jobs and skills that may not be fully reflected in traditional data sources.

“Unlike traditional benchmark pricing, our compensable factors functionality provides a directional indicator for what the market demand or outlook is for any key job attributes,” said Yong Zhang, President and Chief Operation Officer of “Using this functionality, our customers can now expertly analyze the exact pay premiums or discounts tied to compensable factor adjustments, making it easier to determine the exact right price for their unique company job. This data delivers unparalleled pricing accuracy to our customers, helping them to attract and retain top talent in business-critical roles and keep pay competitive as the market landscape for hot jobs and skills changes.”
