Great compensation tool, if you are willing to share your data for theirs
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Pave as one of a few sources of compensation market data to ensure we are remaining competitive when it comes to the base salaries that we offer. It meets many needs, including being affordable, reliable, and fairly accurate.
Pros
- Easy to use
- Free version (if you sync your HR system) still valuable
- Company-sourced versus employee
- Well defined levels and scope for roles
- Always adding more countries and data
Cons
- Need more data, especially for more niche roles
- Need more roles represented
- Need more industries covered
Likelihood to Recommend
Pave seems to work really well in the technology/software industry. Not sure about others, but seems limited, depending on what roles/jobs you are looking at. Data can be pretty limited, especially when you get more granular and look at levels versus prefixes (junior, senior, etc.). Highly recommended as one of at least a few data sources for compensation, depending on industry.
