Salary Benchmarking Service
Price Your Roles to Win — Not to Guess.
Salary benchmarking sounds simple: pull some data and see where you land. But the difference between good benchmarking and great benchmarking is the difference between pay ranges that actually help you recruit and retain, and numbers that are quietly pulling your organization backward in the talent market. Our Salary Benchmarking service gives nonprofits, schools, and social impact organizations the market intelligence they need to set pay that is competitive, credible, and financially grounded.
We start by reviewing your job descriptions to ensure your roles are mapped to the right market comparators — not just by title, but by scope, level, and organizational context. From there, we conduct a rigorous external market analysis across peer organizations, sector-specific data sources, and relevant labor markets, identifying compensation levels by role, department, level, and geography. The result: a clear picture of where you're competitive, where you're exposed, and what targeted investments would make the biggest difference for your recruiting and retention outcomes.
This work is not just about numbers. We help you understand the story behind the data — why certain roles are harder to fill, where geographic variation matters, and how to use market data to build a compensation philosophy your finance team can support and your staff can understand.
Who We Partner With on Salary Benchmarking
- CPOs, HR/People & Culture leaders, and compensation leads responsible for salary structures, pay equity, and total rewards strategy.
- Executive Directors/CEOs and CFOs who need a clear picture of how compensation aligns with the market, budget, and organizational priorities — and who are fielding questions from staff and boards about fairness and competitiveness
- Governance partners who approve compensation philosophies and budgets and need objective, third-party data to steward risk.

Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England
While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do. With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.
