Salary Benchmarking

Salary benchmarking helps you to:

Secure the top talent you want to hire by offering salaries that match market expectations. Salary benchmarking helps you offer competitive pay and fill positions essential to your business continuity.

Create a fair and consistent approach to pay. Benchmarking helps you review salary levels and pay rates across your organisation, supporting employee retention.

Instead of leaving you with raw figures, our HR specialists at Goodwille interpret the data for you. You’ll understand how a candidate’s current salary compares to market rates, what is driving differences in pay, and what you need to offer to stay competitive.

Using up-to-date market data, your salaries are compared against relevant job roles and industries so you can see exactly where your offer sits in the market.

If you’re hiring into the UK from overseas, you can also compare UK salary expectations with those in your home country. This helps you quickly identify where adjustments may be needed so your offers remain competitive and aligned with local expectations from the outset.

Once your role is defined, our HR experts manage writing and placing your job advert so it gets in front of the right people from the start. You can also tap into our network of trusted recruiters, giving you extra reach when you need it and helping you find the right person for the role without adding pressure to your internal team.

Salary is only part of what makes an offer competitive. In today’s market, rewards and benefits also affect how likely candidates are to accept a job offer. Using up-to-date compensation data, we help you see how your overall offer compares across different sectors and where it may need strengthening to stay competitive.

When iZettle expanded from the Nordics into London in 2012, speed was critical. Backed by strong growth and investment from Northzone, they needed to establish a UK presence quickly while keeping alignment with their Swedish headquarters.

Goodwille supported the launch by managing the UK operational and HR requirements, bridging the gap between both locations and taking pressure off internal teams during a high-growth phase. The business has since grown into a leading international payments provider operating across Europe and Latin America.

“Since we first started using Goodwille’s services back in 2012 their support has always been very professional, but also personal and extremely friendly. Goodwille is iZettle’s safe pair of hands in the UK when it comes to People Management & Payroll, bridging the knowledge gap between UK and HQ in Sweden. Goodwille’s support is a great solution for iZettle’s UK operation, letting us focus on developing our business whilst having specialists take care of our local HR and Payroll requirements.”
