The problem

Leadership is opening an office in a new city. You need ranges for your most common jobs before recruiting starts posting roles.

The old way

  1. Buy or borrow a survey for that country
  2. Map every job again
  3. Convert currencies and sanity-check by hand

Why it works in Pave

Global benchmarks built in

No extra survey to buy for a new country.

Starts from your bands

Ranges are drafted relative to what you already pay, so they fit your structure.

Flags thin data

It tells you when a job has too little market data to trust.
