Background

Jimdo, a leading user-friendly website builder, empowers freelancers and small businesses to establish a strong online presence. With approximately 230 employees worldwide, Jimdo places great emphasis on transparent and fair HR policies that promote both internal and external equity.

Challenge

Before implementing gradar, Jimdo faced challenges in manually researching and processing benchmarks for roles - but the lack of clear comparability between individual positions increased the risk of inaccurate benchmarking. It was essential to establish a consistent and transparent basis for salary decisions to ensure fair internal evaluations while maintaining external competitiveness.

Solution

Jimdo selected gradar, our innovative job evaluation system, to achieve each and every one of their targets - and here's how…

First, they developed detailed job descriptions aligned with specific grading criteria, before evaluating over 100 roles and assigning suitable job codes. These job codes were then automatically linked to an external benchmark provider for seamless data integration. Finally, Jimdo used gradar to create job description templates and streamline the entire job grading process.
