Job evaluation is a process used to determine the value of a specific role within an organization. The goal is to create a fair and equitable compensation structure and to establish how much an employee should be paid for performing their tasks and responsibilities.
Job evaluation takes into account various factors such as education, experience, responsibilities, decision-making authority, and performance.

Montae & Partners collaborates with various partners, each using their own job evaluation methodology—namely STYR (styr.nl) and gradar (gradar.com). These systems enable accurate market comparisons of salaries and employment conditions.
In addition, both systems are compatible with a wide range of other national and international job evaluation frameworks, making integration and benchmarking across different models possible.
