Automatic Hay salary band
Unique in LATAM: combines AI and Hay methodology to suggest what to pay, without hiring a compensation consultancy.
AI Job Descriptions + Hay Scale
AI Job Description Generator + Hay Scale
Create professional job descriptions in 2 minutes and get the Hay salary band automatically. The methodology of top compensation consultancies, within reach of your SMB.
ChatGPT job descriptions are generic and do not calculate what to pay. Hiring a compensation consultancy like Mercer or Hay costs thousands of dollars. And without a clear salary band, you end up overpaying or losing the candidate.
How it works
- 1
Describe the role in plain language
Write the job title and your company context; no templates or prior formats needed.
- 2
AI structures the description
You get role mission, functions, responsibilities, KPIs, and required profile—ready to edit.
- 3
The Hay algorithm calculates the salary band
The system scores the role using Hay methodology and suggests the corresponding band and salary range.
What is Hay methodology and why does it matter?
Hay methodology is the standard top consultancies use to value roles and define salary bands objectively. Instead of setting pay by intuition, it evaluates each position on three factors and translates that score into a comparable salary band inside and outside the company.
- Know-How
- The knowledge, experience, and technical and managerial skills the role requires.
- Problem-Solving
- The complexity of thinking and level of analysis the role needs to resolve situations.
- Accountability
- The role's impact on organizational results and the level of autonomy to decide.
Examples: from job description to salary band
| Role | Hay band | Salary range |

| Commercial Manager | Hay Band 14 | USD 4,500 – 6,000 |
| Senior Developer | Hay Band 12 | USD 3,000 – 4,500 |
| Accounting Analyst | Hay Band 9 | USD 1,500 – 2,200 |
Reference ranges; the algorithm adjusts for your company context and country.
