Job Evaluation Software That Scores Every Factor,
Tracks Every Version, and Defends Every Grade
CompBldr Job Evaluation gives HR and compensation teams a complete, governed evaluation workflow, score jobs factor by factor with definitions in view, complete evaluations in minutes with Quick Evaluation Mode, compare every version in a color-coded audit trail, and configure a score-based grade structure, all without spreadsheets or consultant dependency.

Everything HR and Comp Teams Need to Evaluate Jobs, Assign Grades, and Defend the Decision
Most job evaluation processes break down in the same place: the methodology is invisible to anyone outside the room where grades were assigned, the prior evaluation was overwritten, and the grade structure has no documented history. CompBldr Job Evaluation replaces that with four connected modules that cover scoring, speed, audit trail, and grade structure in one platform.

JESAP Studio: Factor-by-Factor Scoring
Score jobs using the JESAP point-factor methodology. Each factor's description and degree definitions are displayed in the same panel where the evaluator selects a degree. Quick-select buttons handle degree entry. The running JESAP score and proposed grade update automatically as degrees are selected.
Quick Evaluation Mode: All Factors in One View
Quick Evaluation Mode slides in as an overlay panel with every factor listed by category, degree buttons inline, and an Inspector showing the active factor's description and degree context. An optional job description pane opens alongside for reference. Score a full position without switching screens.

Grading and Versions: A Full Evaluation Audit Trail
Every saved evaluation becomes a numbered version with full factor scores, evaluator name, and timestamp. The Grading & Versions view shows all versions in a color-coded side-by-side grid. Switch the active version, archive old versions, or generate an AI-assisted version with CompBldr Intelligence for calibration.
Job Grade: Score-Based Grade Structure With Full History
Job Grade translates JESAP scores into grade bands. Define grade boundaries with minimum and maximum score ranges. Auto-linked ranges prevent gaps between grades. Every grade structure change creates a new version. The History view preserves every prior structure, restorable at any time.
Inside CompBldr Job Evaluation - Four Screens That Cover the Full Workflow
CompBldr's Compensation Planner gives HR and Finance a single system to run the entire compensation cycle, from building the cycle and allocating budgets to manager proposals, approvals, and employee reward statements.
Score Each Factor With Its Description and Degree Definitions in View
JESAP Studio is the primary evaluation interface. The screen divides into two panels: a factor list on the left and a factor detail panel on the right. The evaluator clicks any factor card in the left list to load it on the right. The right panel shows the factor description, a row of quick-select degree buttons, and the degree definitions for every available degree, all without referencing a separate document or switching to another screen.

Quick Evaluation Mode: Score All Factors in One Scrollable Panel
Quick Evaluation Mode is the rapid-scoring overlay. It slides in from the right as a panel, the underlying Grading & Versions view remains visible behind it. The panel shows every factor across all categories in a compact, scrollable list. Degree buttons are inline per factor.
All Factors in One View
Grading and Versions: Every Evaluation Preserved, Every Version Comparable
The Grading & Versions view is the evaluation audit trail. Every saved evaluation appears as a numbered version column in a side-by-side grid. Factor scores fill rows grouped by category. Blue intensity shading reflects the degree selected for each factor.

Define Score Bands That Translate JESAP Scores Into Grade Assignments
Job Grade is the configuration module that converts JESAP scores into grade assignments. The grade table defines the minimum and maximum score ranges for each grade.

What a Governed, Version-Controlled
Job Evaluation Platform Delivers
These are the outcomes HR and comp teams see when they replace a spreadsheet-based evaluation process with a platform that documents every factor, preserves every version, and connects grades directly to the compensation structure.

CompBldr Job Evaluation vs. Manual Job Evaluation
Manual job evaluation produces grades that feel defensible in the moment but cannot survive an audit, a pay equity challenge, or a management question six months later. The methodology is invisible, the history is gone, and the grade structure has no documented basis. Here is what that gap costs in practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
The evaluator selects a factor from the left panel. The right panel loads the factor description, quick-select degree buttons (0 through 14), and degree definitions for every available level. Clicking a degree button selects it, highlights the corresponding definition, and updates the running JESAP score and proposed grade automatically.
Quick Evaluation Mode is a slide-in overlay panel that shows all 15 JESAP factors in one scrollable view, organized by category. Degree buttons are inline per factor. An Inspector at the bottom loads the active factor's description and degree context as the evaluator taps through the list. A full evaluation can be completed without switching screens.
Grading & Versions displays every saved evaluation for a position as a numbered version column in a side-by-side grid. Factor scores fill the rows with blue-intensity shading, darker cells mean higher degrees. The Current badge marks the active version. Any version can be switched to active, archived, or used as the basis for a new evaluation.
Blue-intensity shading reflects the degree selected for each factor in each version. Darker blue means a higher degree score. Pale blue means a lower degree. An empty cell with a dash means the factor was not scored in that version. Reading a row left to right shows how the same factor was scored across all evaluations without manual comparison.
CompBldr Intelligence generates an algorithm-based evaluation version after two or more manual evaluations exist for a position. The AI version appears as a new column in the Grading & Versions grid alongside human versions. It functions as a calibration check, evaluators can compare the AI's degree selections against their own without it replacing their judgment.
Job Grade defines the score bands that translate JESAP totals into grade assignments. Each grade has a minimum and maximum score. When an evaluator selects degrees in JESAP Studio, the running JESAP score is measured against the active Job Grade structure, and the Proposed Grade in the header updates automatically. Auto-linked ranges prevent gaps between grades.
Auto-linked score ranges ensure that grade bands connect without gaps or overlaps. When a grade's maximum score is changed, the system automatically adjusts the minimum score of the next grade. This keeps the grade structure continuous and prevents scoring gaps between grades.
Yes. Every grade structure change creates a new version, not an overwrite. The prior structure moves to the History view with its version number, score range, source, evaluator, and timestamp preserved. Any historical version can be restored as the active structure. When a prior version is restored, the current structure moves to History.
Source: Manual means the grade score boundaries were entered by a compensation analyst.
Source: Algorithm means the system generated grade boundaries from the statistical distribution of JESAP scores across all evaluated positions.
Every Grade Scored. Every Version Saved. Every Decision Defensible.
CompBldr Job Evaluation gives HR and comp teams a governed evaluation workflow built on the JESAP point-factor methodology. Score jobs with factor definitions in view, complete evaluations in minutes with Quick Evaluation Mode, compare every version in a color-coded audit trail, and maintain a versioned grade structure, all connected natively to Job Architecture and Market Pricing.
