TraineryHCM combines the CompBldr compensation management platform with the consulting expertise of JER HR Group, 30 years of practice, 1,000+ clients. You get a compensation structure built by experienced consultants and a platform that maintains, monitors, and evolves it between engagements.
TraineryHCM is the intersection of CompBldr and JER HR Group. When you engage with us, you get a compensation management platform configured to your organization's structure — and the consulting expertise to build that structure correctly from the ground up. The platform implements the methodology.
Our consultants partner with HR, finance, and leadership teams to bring structure and defensibility to compensation.
CompBldr's JESAP Studio is the job evaluation interface that JER HR Group uses in its consulting practice. Every role is scored across 15 compensable factors with documented degree definitions visible during the evaluation. The running JESAP score and proposed grade update are shown in real time. Every evaluation saves as a numbered version with evaluator name and timestamp, so the grade record survives every restructure, every consultant transition, and every audit.

CompBldr Market Benchmarking blends six independent data sources, Salary.com, Bureau of Labor Statistics, ERI Economic Research, Mercer, Radford, and Willis Towers Watson, with weighted averaging, aging factors, and confidence scoring. Every position in your library has a live market P50 with a confidence score reflecting its statistical weighting. Your salary structure does not freeze at the time of the last consulting engagement.

Pay equity is not a one-time initiative. Gaps close and reopen as the workforce evolves, roles are reclassified, and compensation decisions change over time. CompBldr Analytics can support analysis of compensation patterns across configured employee attributes and criteria sets, helping teams identify areas that warrant further review. Results require appropriate HR, compensation, and legal interpretation.

Incentive structures, payout schedules, and performance metrics are implemented in CompBldr Compensation Planning, where merit and incentive cycles run in parallel. Budget modeling and payout analysis are built into the platform. The plan is not handed off in a document, it runs in the system your compensation team already uses.

Compensation decision support is more consistent when approved pay rules and role context remain connected to compensation, performance cycles, and reporting and analytics.

Compensation strategy in HCM works best when approved pay principles stay connected to Core HR, job architecture, and compensation planning. TraineryHCM keeps that context available across the workforce while specialist advisory evaluation remains with CompBldr.
Compensation advisory context in TraineryHCM means approved strategy and role decisions can stay connected across the HCM platform, governed security and permissions, and supported integrations. CompBldr remains the specialist destination for compensation advisory services.
Pay strategy and HCM context can bring workforce evidence from performance, talent management, and skills management into a connected decision environment. CompBldr remains the specialist owner for detailed compensation advisory and implementation work.
CompBldr is the specialist owner for compensation advisory and implementation services. TraineryHCM focuses on keeping approved compensation strategy, employee context, and connected HCM decisions usable across the broader workforce environment. The methodology built into CompBldr—including JESAP job evaluation, is the same methodology JER HR Group has used with 1,000+ clients over 30 years.
CompBldr blends six independent sources: Salary.com, Bureau of Labor Statistics OES, ERI Economic Research Institute, Mercer TRS, Radford by Aon, and Willis Towers Watson. All six are weighted by sample size, adjusted with aging factors, and produce a blended market figure with a confidence score reflecting the statistical reliability of the data for each position.
JER HR Group consultants establish the initial equity baseline and cohort methodology during the consulting engagement. That methodology is implemented in CompBldr Analytics, which tracks compensation disparities by gender, age, ethnicity, and custom criteria through every subsequent merit cycle. Emerging gaps surface in the platform before they require a new consulting engagement to identify.
JESAP is a 15-factor point-based job evaluation methodology built for audit defensibility. It scores every role across four categories—Knowledge and Skills, Contacts, Responsibilities, and Working Conditions, producing a numeric total that maps to a grade band. Every evaluation is stored in CompBldr with full factor scores, evaluator name, and timestamp. Grades are traceable to documented degree selections, not committee opinion.
Yes. JER HR Group consultants design short-term and long-term incentive programs for executive, management, and staff populations. Incentive structures, performance metrics, and payout schedules are implemented in CompBldr Compensation Planning alongside merit cycles. Budget modeling and payout scenario analysis run within the platform your comp team already operates.
Engagement length depends on organization size, scope, and the state of existing compensation documentation. A foundational engagement covering job evaluation, market benchmarking, and pay structure design typically runs 12 to 20 weeks. Platform configuration and first-cycle support run concurrently with the consulting work so the system is live before the engagement closes.
Compensation program context stays more useful when career pathing, succession planning, and notification workflows share approved role and pay context. Specialist compensation advisory remains with CompBldr.
