    Two ways to get your roles graded

    Do it yourselves, or let us do it for you.

    Every organisation is different. Choose the way of working that suits yours, or combine the two.

    Grade in-house

    Your platform, your people.

    Your team grades on your company's own private workspace, with training on the methodology and its fundamentals, so you grade with confidence from day one.

  • Your own private, branded workspace
  • Training for your team, included in onboarding
  • Upload job descriptions and signed outcome reports
  • Grade whenever you need to, as your organisation grows
  • Talk to us about in-house grading 

    We grade for you

    Hand it over to our specialists.

    Prefer it done for you? We first review your job descriptions for alignment, then grade every position on your behalf and hand you the complete, signed outcome reports.

  • Job descriptions reviewed and aligned before grading
  • Every position graded by experienced practitioners
  • Signed outcome reports delivered to you
  • A clear feedback report to guide your next steps
  • Ask us to grade for you 

    Job grading is the first step. Your grades flow straight into fair pay structures, skills development, succession planning and career paths.

    Flexible commercial model

    Pay for the value you use.

    Choose the methodology, licence seats and plan structure that suit your organisation. Grading credits are purchased in advance at your contracted rate, agreed in your local currency, and each saved job evaluation uses one credit.

    Frequently asked

    Good grading starts with clarity.

    Can we use both Paterson and Peromnes?

    Yes. Your licence can cover Paterson, Peromnes, or both. If your licence covers both, your team can switch between methods inside the platform and cross-method equivalents become visible.

    Do we have to do the grading ourselves?

    No. You choose: grade in-house on your own platform, with training for your team, or ask our specialists to grade your positions for you and deliver the signed outcome reports. Many organisations start with us grading alongside them, then take over in-house.

    Can multiple colleagues use the platform?

    Yes. Your licence includes an agreed number of seats. Colleagues create their own secure accounts using your company join code, and your administrator manages the team from within the platform.

    When is a grading credit used?

    Grading credits are purchased in advance. One credit is used for every job your team grades, and your billing panel always shows how many credits you have left.

    What reports can we generate?

    Individual job grading reports, an organisation-wide job grades report with distributions, comparative factor analysis, and a full audit trail - all available as branded PDF and Excel outputs.
