Our Approach
Traditional salary benchmarks often rely heavily on proxies for value – factors like years of experience, previous company prestige, or educational background. While these elements can be part of a career story, they don't directly or consistently measure what truly matters for success and impact in a specific role: an individual's current, demonstrable competency. This reliance on indirect indicators, rather than actual capability, is a major source of the pay ambiguity, inequity, and frustrating negotiation cycles experienced by both individuals and employers.
At RawBeacon, our approach is fundamentally different, built on the core belief that the most accurate and fair predictor of professional value is proven competency. We move beyond assumptions and outdated proxies to directly measure the skills, knowledge, and abilities required to excel in a particular job function.
The cornerstone of this is our proprietary Competency Assessment Engine. This isn't just about collecting data points; it's a sophisticated system designed to evaluate practical, role-relevant abilities through multiple, complementary dimensions
The Persistent Challenge: Navigating the Salary Fog
Salary negotiations. For many professionals and employers, these conversations are shrouded in ambiguity, anxiety, and often, a fundamental lack of objective data. Traditional benchmarks, heavily reliant on titles and tenure rather than tangible skills, frequently fall short. In dynamic, competitive job markets like India's, this 'salary fog' can lead to individuals feeling undervalued despite their capabilities, while companies struggle with inconsistent pay scales, attracting truly skilled talent, and fostering genuine workplace equity. Potential is lost, frustration builds, and biases can inadvertently creep into compensation decisions.
