Other compensation experts : |
HQ Services: * carefully tracks differences and nuances i.e., retail credit analyst IS NOT distressed debt credit analysis i.e., trade finance is NOT structured trade finance i.e., marketing is NOT necessarily sales |
| * utilize dated and/or only one source of information i.e., information given is one year or older i.e., data collected from HR or individuals |
* corroborates findings with today’s data from multiple sources i.e., information given is checked against today’s numbers i.e., data collected from HR, individuals, studies, and own records |
| * excel at cookie cutter situations i.e., typical position in a mainstream company i.e., stable economy with few legislative changes |
* excels at defining and crafting unique compensation situations. i.e., specialized position in a mainstream or avant-garde firm i.e., volatile/changing economy with new/pending legal changes |
Your Career Campaign
For the last 10 years, HQ Services founder, Kathy Graham, has delivered a completely accurate annual economic and job forecast . At the end of 2007, she prepared her 2008 forecast—wow, what a change from prior years!
