Data and Insights to Fuel Your Innovation Agenda

Access to accurate, relevant and timely compensation survey data is vital to the success of your business. At the end of the day, if you can't attract, engage and retain talent, the ability for your business to grow and deliver on behalf of customers will suffer. This is why we view our insights as fuel for your innovation agenda— great ideas and products come to life when companies have the right people in the right roles at the right time.

The Radford Platform, which includes the Radford Global Compensation Database, the Radford Global Job Architecture and Leveling Methodology, and our client portal, the Radford Network®, addresses this need head-on. We provide business leaders, compensation professionals and human resources decision-makers with access to highly targeted insights covering more of the world's fastest-growing and most innovative companies than anyone else.

Fighting a Fire?

Use Quick Benchmarks

With Quick Benchmarks, you can instantly analyze pay for any job on-the-fly. Query results pop-up on screen immediately, where you can explore trends in the data and use market filters like industry, region and revenue size, among other factors, to refine your analysis further.

Getting started is easy. Simply select your country and job to receive instant results in as few as three clicks! From there, you'll be off and running and well-equipped to answer any pressing compensation question within minutes.

Need More Power?

Your Answer is Market Queries

We built Market Queries to satisfy our power users and enterprise clients. Use this tool to create, save and reuse complex queries covering multiple talent markets and hundreds of jobs in one report. Once you've built the perfect query, download data directly to Excel.

Market Queries offers all of the same customization tools found in Quick Benchmarks and more. You can save custom job lists and data element sets and use combinations of market filters to refine your analysis across industry, regional and demographic attributes.

Want All the Data, Fast?

Download Country Totals

Sometimes, especially in smaller countries, highly-targeted queries don't produce the results you're looking for. In these cases, Country Totals is the perfect answer. In a matter of a few clicks, you can instantly download overall results for one or more countries.

Think of this as your shortcut reporting resource when you want overall results for all job families in a country without any filtering across industry, regional or demographic lines. You can also use custom data element sets to zero-in on data that matters most to you.

Interested in Custom Reporting?

Build, Save and Reuse Peer Groups

Imagine if you could create your own peer groups from a database of 6,350+ participating organizations and run results via customized queries designed by you. Now, with our enhanced Peer Group functionality, you can do just that.

Build and save peer groups, run custom reports in parallel with standard database cuts from within our Market Queries tool, and zero-in on the exact data you need to satisfy business leaders, board members, and investors.

Looking for a Guide?

Navigate with the Job Matrix

Wouldn't it be nice to have a tool that displays our entire job catalog in one easily discover-able place, instantly tells you where we have data, and identifies where your company has matched people to our survey? We think so, which is why we built our dynamic Job Matrix.

The benefits of the dynamic Job Matrix don’t end there. You can also read job descriptions, find related “roll-up” jobs, see the distribution of your incumbents by job level within a job family, read job leveling tips and instantly launch Quick Benchmark queries on jobs of interest.

Visually Compare Locations

Location Analytics

With remote and flexible working models on the rise, we've designed our new global Location Analytics feature on the Radford Network to compare compensation levels across a group of locations, pinpoint talent availability globally and gain insights into emerging markets.

Easily select and compare compensation across multiple locations using a simple yet powerful map experience while building any combination of jobs that reflect your company's unique talent needs and see insights for selected locations in real-time.

Just Released!

Talent Intelligence

With new jobs emerging, talent available in diverse locations, and the rapid evolution of skills, there will be occasions where robust market data coverage is not available.

By harnessing the power of machine learning through our Pay Inference engine, Talent Intelligence examines the correlations between roles, locations, levels, and reported salaries in the Radford Global Compensation Database and predicts pay based on the patterns and relationships.

Client Voices

The primary reason we use Radford as our survey provider is the combination of their data accuracy and alignment with our talent compensation expectations. In fact, one of the best features is how they categorize data — it’s so much easier to compare different job families, business functions and management levels. This in turn empowers us to stay competitive as it relates to our employee population.

Lizzet Mora – Compensation Analyst

Fitbit

The team at Aon is extremely helpful. They make the survey participation process easy relative to other data providers and are always ready to assist us with one-off requests. We also find Aon data to be very reliable given the large number of employers who participate in their surveys.

Nate Bammann – Global Compensation Manager

Allegion

Data from the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey is critically important to Aptinyx. It allows us to remain competitive with the market and maintain a fiscally responsible and legally compliant approach to compensation-related decisions.

Patty Adams – Vice President, HR & Admin

Aptinyx

We chose Aon as our compensation survey provider not only for access to their broad and global data, but for their in-depth comprehensive analysis, intuitive survey results and online reporting tools. All in all, it’s a one-stop shop for all of our compensation data needs.

Michael Stevens – Director HRIS

Standard Motor Products

Radford is the world-class source for high-tech market data and on-the-spot market intelligence to understand critical pay trends. In addition, their survey consultants are superb and never fail to deliver top-quality service and products.

Juan Pezoa – Director, Global Total Rewards

Rambus

I would absolutely recommend participating in Aon’s compensation surveys. The diversity of the participating companies and broad job coverage allows me to accurately pinpoint market data benchmarks. Even better, the value generated from the results received more than compensate for the cost of participation.

Linas A. Orentas – Director of Compensation

S&C Electric

I would recommend Radford without hesitation. From associate to C-level positions, the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey is the gold standard for providing the most comprehensive and complete source of compensation data in the industry.

Linda Fitzpatrick – Sr. HR Advisor

Sutro Biopharma

Radford is far-and-away the most comprehensive technology-focused survey in the market! We also love that we can access data for both technology and sales positions with a single vendor.
