# Compensation Benchmarking Analyst

**Folder:** Human Resources / Compensation & Benefits Manager / Benchmarking Analyst

## What does it do?

Competitive, equitable pay requires constant benchmarking against market surveys by role, level, and geography — slow, detailed analysis.

This agent benchmarks: it maps roles to survey data, computes market position (compa-ratio, percentile) by role and level, and flags where pay lags market or shows internal inequity — so comp decisions rest on data.

## Benefits

- Pay benchmarked against market, fast.
- Market position by role and level.
- Lagging pay flagged before attrition.
- Internal inequity surfaced.
- Comp decisions grounded in data.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — survey/HRIS data via Sheets; Slack to share.
• Skill — a benchmarking skill with compa-ratio and percentile logic.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on roles ("benchmark engineering pay against market and flag gaps"). It returns market position and flags.
