Stop Guessing. Start Investing.

Comp Analyst

Salary surveys are expensive, stale, and generic.

Traditional compensation data costs six figures, requires months of participation surveys, and arrives already a year old.

And even then, it matches titles – not roles.

Athena benchmarks your compensation against current market data using the specifics that actually matter: the outcomes you need, the level you’re hiring, the geography you’re competing in, and your company’s size and stage.

Fresh data. No survey burden. Comp recommendations built from the role as you’ve designed it.

Traditional Data Fails

Most companies either pay too much for stale data or fly blind.

Large enterprises spend six figures on salary surveys that require months of participation – sharing your own compensation details just to access the benchmarks. By the time the data arrives, it’s already 12 months old. And the matching is generic: ‘Software Engineer in Denver’ doesn’t account for outcomes, reporting level, or company context.

Mid-sized companies skip the surveys entirely and guess – overpaying to be safe, or losing candidates to competitors who know the market better.

Compensation as Strategy

Compensation isn’t just a number – it’s a signal. Underpay and you lose candidates to competitors. Overpay and you burn cash that should fuel growth.

Comp Analyst gives you the data to be intentional. You can see where you’re positioned against the market, decide where you want to compete, and defend those decisions to candidates, hiring managers, and finance. Stop guessing. Start investing.

How PropulsionAI Works

Athena already knows your role deeply – the outcomes the role needs to produce, the competencies required, where it sits in the organization. She uses that specificity to benchmark against current market data drawn from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and live employer postings.

The result: compensation ranges that reflect the role you actually designed, not a generic title. You see where your offer sits – at the 25th percentile, the 50th, 75th, 90th – and whether your range is competitive for the talent you’re trying to attract.

What are people saying?

I have seen job description tools before, but the focus on AI-created content and SEO optimization sets this apart.

Aduma Emmanuel

I was better prepared to talk to candidates. The documents are great, but the process was highly valuable. I thought I could use something like ChatGPT and get what I needed. Not even close! This platform blows away anything I did with ChatGPT.

Chris Barnes

Founder & CEO

It forces you to really consider why you’re hiring for this role and communicate that to the ideal fit.

Clark Wilcox

Founder – Digital Recruiter

We have long anticipated tools that not only support our leaders but are also user-friendly and efficient. This exceeds all expectations!

Dana Hotchkiss

Vice President, Talent Acquisition

It’s exceptional. Very easy to navigate but more importantly it solves a huge problem around scorecarding and job descriptions.

Jayne Ford

Head of Talent – PE & VC

So cool!

Katherine McCord

Founder

Highly recommended! I was pleasantly surprised at how much better it wrote a job description for me. This service goes beyond the typical copy-paste job postings and gets to the root of what people and skillsets you really need for your organization.

Lance Dofflemyer

Founder

This tool asks you specific questions to help you scope out your role. You get a great JD to post internally and job ad to post externally, plus social. Don’t copy and paste another company’s job description!

Matt Myers

Headhunter | Healthcare Recruiter

The benefit of this tool is in the questions that it asks help you sharpen your own ideas around what the person in role needs to achieve – what problem they’re going to solve and how.

Michelle Martinez

This product is super friendly to use. The entire team is great to work with and really helpful.

Philip Jay Gonzales

This is a great product that coaches hiring managers to define what they’re looking for.

Roderick Smyth

CEO – Recruitment Tech Platform

I highly recommend this for anyone in a role that needs to write job descriptions and/or job postings. It’s no secret that I think we, on the balance, write terrible job descriptions and job postings. You don’t need any experience to use this tool, just insight into the role you are documenting.

Shelley Tanner

CEO – AI Talent Platform

I’ve been lucky enough to follow PropulsionAI since beta stage and it’s been amazing to watch the product transform into what it is today. Can’t wait to see where this goes!

Super Loud

You’ve created something that helps solve the “fit” problem in the hiring process by coaxing out the intrinsic needs of the hiring manager in a way that will appeal to the best candidates AND set both the candidate and the hiring team up for success. The best products are created by people who have an intimate understanding of the problem and have devised a proper solution. The best of the best products incorporate all the surface-level solutions that a layperson would think to address but then go deeper and solve the deeper complex issues that a layperson wouldn’t even know to be concerned about.

Thomas Kriese

Founder

PropulsionAI makes our search parameters so much more effective that it actually expedites the candidate vetting process.

Tracy Nini

Agency CEO

The approach is brilliant, and the tech makes it so easy. I wasn’t expecting that the job descriptions would become such a powerful anchor for setting expectations and setting up my team for success.

Vina Rathbone Falvey

CEO

The time and resource savings are simply astounding! Integrating AI technology with a results-oriented approach enables us to design roles that foster accountability and ownership. That attracts the top candidates.

Wes Kubik
