Salary intelligence.
For the companies
enterprise never
built it for.

Three products. One compounding system. The qualitative readiness check, the quantitative pay equity report, and the offer builder that protects every hire after it. At a price proportional to the company, not the consulting budget.

Why this exists

The tools existed.
They just weren't
built for you.

Enterprise pay equity platforms cost tens of thousands. Big 4 advisory costs more. The rigour exists — it just comes with a price tag built for organisations that can absorb it.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive applies to every company equally. The tools never did. PayGapCheck does.

Three products. One intelligence system.

Diagnose. Quantify.
Protect every hire.

01
Step 01 · Diagnose
Identify the gap before the data lands
A qualitative readiness check across seven axes — no salary data needed. The boardroom artefact that gets the budget approved for everything else.
02
Step 02 · Assess
Close the gap you already have
A deterministic pay equity report — your real numbers, your real cohorts. Not what you estimated. What the data shows.
03
Step 03 · Simulate
Validate every offer before it's made
Internal equity, compression risk, urgency score, AI brief. Every hire checked against your own benchmark — before you commit.
04
The result
Pay equity that holds — across every decision
Not a report you file. A system that maps your readiness, closes the gap, and validates every offer that follows. Every decision, documented.

The Report

Every gap. Every cohort.
No surprises.

PayGapCheck doesn't aggregate away the problem. It shows you exactly where gaps exist, at what level, and what it would cost to close them.

  • Company-wide median & mean pay gap
  • Cohort analysis by role level × job family
  • Pay quartile distribution (Q1–Q4)
  • Representation ratios across all segments
  • Gap typology: Persistent, Distributional, or Concentrated
  • Remediation cost corridor (low–high estimate)
  • Priority review appendix with individual flags

The asymmetry

What enterprise can't
copy about this.

Large platforms have the analytics. They don't have the model. Three structural advantages that widen the gap with every passing month.

01
Price · Access
€199. No implementation. No consultant. No seat licence.
The entry point for enterprise pay equity analysis is €15k+ before scope changes. PayGapCheck starts at €199, delivers in under 60 seconds, requires no account, and deletes your data after 14 days. Same analytical rigour. Proportional price.
02
Speed · Distribution
From upload to report in 60 seconds. Not 60 days.
Enterprise onboarding takes weeks. PayGapCheck takes a 20-column Excel file and a payment. The HR Manager who has 30 minutes before her board presentation can run this. Speed is access — and access is the entire point.
03
AI · Live market intelligence
Mercer publishes surveys. We publish signals.
Mercer's benchmark data is 12 months old before it reaches you. Every HireGapCheck simulation contributes real offer outcomes — anonymously — to a live pattern pool. Not what companies paid last year. What they're offering this week. No enterprise can replicate this.

Live market intelligence

What the system tells you
that no survey can.

Every HireGapCheck simulation contributes anonymously to a live signal pool. The more companies use it, the more precisely it reads what's happening in the market right now — not last year.

EU Pay Transparency Directive 2023/970

The window
to act early
is closing.

From 2026, European employers face mandatory gender pay gap reporting. Companies with 100 or more employees must identify and report pay disparities across comparable groups — with documented evidence of the criteria used to determine compensation.

The companies that act before the obligation aren't just compliant — they're structurally ahead. A documented pay equity baseline and an offer simulation audit trail are the two things that turn a regulatory deadline into a competitive advantage.

Understand your gap before you are required to explain it.

1 credit = 1 hire. Run as many scenario variations as you need — adjust the offer, comp structure, urgency context — until you find the right range. Credits are consumed when you open a new hire, not when you iterate. The smarter move is always a new report: €199 resets your 30 hires, updates your pay equity baseline, adds a year of market intelligence, and costs less than four Growth packs.

Clarity before obligation

Know where you stand.
Before you have to.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive sets the deadline. Internal clarity doesn't have to wait for one. The companies acting now are structurally ahead of the ones who will scramble when auditors call.

Common questions

Before you start

What is PayGapCheck?

PayGapCheck is a salary intelligence platform built for European organisations navigating the EU Pay Transparency Directive. Pay equity diagnostics, hire offer validation, and readiness assessments — structured, affordable, and available without a lengthy engagement.

What is the difference between ReadinessCheck™, PayGapCheck™, and HireGapCheck™?

ReadinessCheck™ tells you where your organisation stands today against the Directive — no salary data required, result the same day. PayGapCheck™ is the full pay equity assessment: your employee data in, a complete diagnostic report out. HireGapCheck™ is the tool you reach for before making an offer — it tells you whether the number you are about to sign is consistent with your internal equity position.

What does PayGapCheck cost?

ReadinessCheck™ is €299 + VAT, one-time. Full pay equity reports start at €199, priced by company size. No subscriptions. No retainers. Pay once, receive your report.

Is my employee data protected?

Raw employee data is deleted 14 days after your report is generated. Only anonymised aggregates are retained. No individual salary records are stored beyond that window.
