Job Classification Service

Blurry titles, legacy structures, and roles that have drifted out of alignment with how work actually happens: these are among the most common — and most costly — problems in nonprofit and school talent management. They make it harder to pay people fairly, build credible career paths, and compete for talent when candidates have options. Our Job Classification service helps nonprofits, schools, and social impact organizations build a clear, coherent job architecture that makes sense to the people doing the work and gives leaders the structure they need to grow.

We start from your current job descriptions, HR policies, and strategic priorities, assess how work is organized and experienced across the organization, and create a classification framework that defines levels, criteria (scope of responsibility, decision-making authority, knowledge requirements), and recommended titles for each position. That framework becomes the backbone for competitive and equitable pay, transparent career pathways, and consistent promotion decisions. It also becomes your recruiting advantage: clear, well-leveled roles are easier to sell to candidates and harder for competitors to undercut.

Because we are former nonprofit and school leaders ourselves, we understand the hybrid roles, title inflation, and workarounds that accumulate over time. We show up as partners — listening closely, pressure-testing scenarios with your team, and co-creating a classification system that is rigorous, flexible enough to grow with you, and grounded in what your culture actually values.
