Overview
What is OpenComp?
Features
What are OpenComp's key features?
Salary range building sets structured compensation bands tied to market benchmarks.
Market benchmarking draws on crowd-sourced compensation data from customer HRIS systems.
Merit cycle management runs compensation review workflows across the organisation.
Headcount planning connects compensation modelling to workforce growth scenarios.
Compliance and pay equity reporting surfaces disparities and supports audit requirements.
Use Cases
How do in-house recruiting teams use OpenComp?
- A people team prices a net-new role before the requisition is approved, so the budget is realistic from the start.
- A merit cycle opens and managers pull current market data to calibrate increases against what the role pays externally.
- A finance team models headcount cost for the next quarter using live comp data before headcount is locked.
Fit
Who is OpenComp best for?
- Employers building salary ranges and running merit cycles on connected HRIS data
- Dedicated comp teams, not recruiting teams or staffing agencies
- Benchmark quality depends on customers connecting their HRIS, so coverage varies by segment
Pros & Cons
What are OpenComp's pros and cons?
Pros
- Salary ranges, benchmarks, merit cycles and headcount planning sit in one platform.
- Merit cycle workflows run beside the benchmarks, so ranges and reviews stay aligned.
- Data is crowd-sourced from connected HRIS systems, so benchmarks reflect pay actually being paid.
- Headcount planning ties compensation decisions to hiring forecasts rather than treating them separately.
Cons
- Benchmark depth depends on how many customers connect their HRIS, so thin segments stay thin.
- It is built for in-house compensation teams, not for agencies quoting ranges on a client brief.
- It covers compensation operations broadly, so teams that only want a benchmark buy more than they use.
