Use Case

Identify offer-to-incumbent pay gaps before they drive attrition

Every time you make an external hire at market rate, pay can start to drift out of alignment with your existing team. Most teams don't find out until it’s too late and scanning your full population for offer-to-incumbent gaps used to mean days of pulling, reconciling, and spot-checking.

Analyst Agent can quickly rank a list of offers running significantly above incumbents and provide market context, so compensation teams can make proactive recommendations to senior leadership.

Internal Equity Gaps (Offer-to-Incumbent)

Business problem

By the time internal pay gaps surface, your highest performers are already disengaged or leaving, and leadership is forced into reactive, one-off fixes that derail compensation strategy. What starts as a few isolated gaps quickly becomes a systemic risk to retention, pay equity, and cost control.

Compa sample prompt

Identify jobs where my offers are more than 15% above my incumbents. Include n-counts and the latest market offer data.

Prompt variations

"Run this for TDC (p50) instead of base salary."

"Filter to Engineering and Product only and show where offers are >15% above incumbent employees."

"Limit to P1–P6 and exclude management levels."

What you get

  • A ranked list of job families and levels where offers exceed incumbent pay
  • Clear visibility into the size of each gap, including p50 comparisons
  • Side-by-side view of offer vs. incumbent pay with headcount and sample sizes
  • Market benchmarks for the same roles to ground every decision
  • A prioritized view of where to act first

What this replaces

  • Manual data pulls from your ATS and HRIS to get offers and incumbents into the same place
  • Multiple survey source downloads to layer in external benchmarks
  • Spreadsheet analysis and pivot tables to calculate gaps by job and level
  • Spot-checking a handful of high-visibility roles while the rest of the population goes unreviewed

Time saved

A full day → seconds: What used to require a full day of coordinating data pulls across systems, reconciling survey sources, and building your own gap analysis now happens in seconds with Analyst Agent. Internal equity issues can surface before becoming a larger, more expensive risk.
