Job grading is a systematic method for evaluating and ranking positions based on their relative value to an organization. It creates fair, consistent hierarchies that support equitable compensation structures.
Unlike simple job titling, analytical job grading examines the actual content and demands of each role across standardized dimensions, removing subjectivity from compensation decisions.
Scope of decision-making, budget authority, strategic impact, and number of direct/indirect reports managed.
Education requirements, years of experience, technical specialization, and professional certifications needed.
Cognitive demands, problem-solving requirements, multi-stakeholder coordination, and level of autonomous judgment.
Physical environment, psychological demands, travel requirements, and schedule flexibility considerations.
ESCO — European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations — is the EU's multilingual classification system identifying over 3,000 occupations and 13,000 skills relevant to the European labor market.
Axiomera uses ESCO as its foundational mapping layer, providing a common language for job classification that transcends company-specific titles and national job coding systems.
Axiomera combines advanced NLP with established occupational frameworks to deliver results that are both cutting-edge and grounded in decades of compensation research.
Every evaluation follows a structured pipeline: text extraction, semantic understanding, dimension scoring, ESCO mapping, and grade assignment — each step fully transparent and explainable.
Advanced NLP processes job descriptions in 27 languages, extracting key competencies, responsibilities, and requirements without templates.
Each of the four evaluation dimensions is broken into granular sub-criteria, scored independently, and weighted according to international standards.
Vector-based similarity compares extracted competencies against the full ESCO database, producing ranked classifications with confidence scores.
Every scoring decision comes with a natural language explanation, making results defensible in both internal reviews and regulatory audits.
Axiomera is validated against thousands of professionally graded positions. Our 89% accuracy within ±2 grades matches or exceeds inter-rater reliability among human evaluators.
We continuously improve through structured feedback loops, regular benchmarking against industry panels, and expanding our training corpus with diverse job families.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) requires employers to ensure equal pay for equal work or work of equal value. Member states must transpose it into national law by June 2026.
The directive mandates that employers provide pay-related information to workers and report on gender pay gaps. Organizations with 100+ employees face reporting obligations that require systematic job evaluation.
Employers must use objective, gender-neutral criteria to determine whether different jobs constitute "work of equal value."
Job applicants have the right to know the pay range before interviews. Current employees can request average pay by gender for comparable positions.
Companies with 100+ employees must report on gender pay gaps. Those with gaps exceeding 5% must conduct joint pay assessments.
Axiomera provides the systematic, auditable job evaluation that the directive requires — objective criteria, full transparency, and defensible results at scale.
Axiomera natively processes job descriptions in all 27 EU official languages. Our NLP pipeline includes language detection and cross-lingual semantic understanding, so you don't need to translate before uploading.
We process job descriptions in real-time and do not retain the original text after analysis is complete. Only the structured output (grades, scores, classifications) is stored in your account. We are GDPR-compliant.
Yes. Axiomera provides a REST API for integration with major HRIS platforms including SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle HCM. We also offer batch upload via CSV/Excel for organizations that prefer file-based workflows.
Traditional consulting firms provide expert-driven evaluations that take weeks and cost thousands per job. Axiomera delivers comparable analytical depth in 30 seconds at a fraction of the cost, with full transparency into every scoring decision.
When compared to grades assigned by experienced human evaluators, 89% of Axiomera's results fall within two grade levels of the expert assessment. This matches or exceeds inter-rater reliability among human evaluators themselves.
Axiomera is purpose-built for the directive. It uses objective, gender-neutral evaluation criteria across the four dimensions specified by EU guidance. Every result includes full audit trail documentation required for regulatory compliance.
