THE CHALLENGE
Client Pay Questions Were High-Stakes, But Reliable Benchmarks Were Hard to Access
Thread HCM supports clients who need practical, defensible pay guidance, often with limited internal HR resources and complex compliance realities. Traditional survey approaches were slow, inconsistent, or not specific enough to the client's industry, size, and location.
- Clients faced conflicting state and federal requirements and needed compensation decisions they could stand behind
- Small and mid-sized organizations often lacked the internal capacity to build structured pay practices
- Hard-to-benchmark roles and regional variation made “standard” survey data less useful
- Clients frequently misread pay alignment, assuming they were overpaying when they were underpaying, and vice versa
THE SOLUTION
Real-Time Competitive Intelligence That Makes Every Benchmarking Practical
Thread HCM implemented SalaryIQ to bring relevant salary and industry insights into day-to-day client conversations. The team uses it to benchmark roles with industry and regional context, then walk clients through the “why” behind the numbers.
- Accurate, real-time pay data tailored to specific industries and regions
- Practical peer context that helps clients understand what similar organizations pay
- Designed for fast, client-facing conversations, including screen-sharing during calls
- Supported by responsive help from the Salary.com team when questions come up
THE RESULT
Confident Recommendations, Clearer Pay Decisions, and Stronger Client Trust
SalaryIQ became Thread HCM's single source for salary and industry information, helping the team move faster, advise more confidently, and reduce uncertainty in client pay decisions.
- Review multiple positions quickly in a single client session, with the data visible and easy to discuss
- Strengthen recommendations with benchmarks that feel relevant to the client's industry, size, and location
- Help clients correct pay misalignment by validating when they are underpaying or overpaying
- Build trust by letting the data speak for itself in sensitive compensation conversation
“SalaryIQ is our only source for salary and industry information. I often hop on Zoom calls with clients, share my screen, and we review multiple positions, sometimes up to ten in an hour, and they really appreciate that. Many clients who think they're overpaying are often actually underpaying, and vice versa.”
