Competitive Employee Pay for Your Company, Candidate or Individual Compensation
Created 8 years ago in Business / Getting Started

As a business, paying your employees competitively is important given the expense will impact your bottom line. It will also impact your ability to attract top talent and your business reputation. Pay decisions should not be made lightly or arbitrarily.
I will consider the size of the company, scope of the position and pay variances by location.
Pay information from free online sources are rarely correct and should never be relied upon for pay benchmarking. I can provide you with a professional assessment for most positions globally, however, positions outside the US will incur additional costs beyond the per minute rate.

I worked on a project with Sam at BGI several years ago. He impressed me with his broad and deep knowledge of compensation strategy and systems. Most important he proved himself to be a uniquely inquisitive professional. The hallmark of any great solution provider is the ability to look at anything and ask :"but what if it was better?"
Sam personifies that approach to work. I would recommend him without question.
Source: LinkedIn Dan Walter May 7, 2013“I worked very closely with Sam Reeve at BlackRock - he was the Total Rewards expert assigned the Latin America region supporting employees in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and those based in California, Florida, New York and New Jersey. Sam is a collaborative team player, who can accurately diagnose and solve complex situations. He developed trusted partnerships with the regional business leaders and was able to influence timely and appropriate compensation needs. Sam works incredibly hard and shows commitment to his client base. He also showed a great disposition to learn the Latin America business strategy and to apply this knowledge to the different compensation initiatives. It was a pleasure working with Sam".
Source: LinkedIn Nancy Escoto May 7, 2013Sam played a key role in a firm-wide project where I was able to closely experience his work for many months. He was thoughtful, organized, creative, solutions oriented, and was always willing to help wherever possible. I always felt confident that Sam would take responsibility for the tasks related to the project and knew that he could lead the effort and achieve the desired results. He is extremely resourceful and is willing to learn what he doesn't know. Sam was able to strike the right balance of working independently yet keep key stakeholders informed. He has an amazing work ethic and is one of the most productive people I've worked with. He has a bright future ahead of him. Sam is someone I would be delighted to work with again.

He was thorough, anticipated issues and always very responsive. He is a very talented Compensation professional and I would not hesitate if I had the chance to work with him again.

Samuel also has a background with the financial sector and was great help in giving me another perspective on the company 401(k) funds and their operations. Samuel is committed and hard working and I would highly recommend him as an employee.

Source: LinkedIn Dave Hollingshead May 7, 2013Samuel understands compensation extremely well and can help those around him understand it too. While working together, Samuel took the time to help me understand changes to our programs, helped me research appropriate salary grades and bands, and was the local expert for my colleagues and me. I enjoyed working with him and appreciated his dedication to detail and his ability to make the complex very simple. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again!
Source: LinkedIn Suzanne Rollinson May 7, 2013I would highly recommend Sam. He is very good with clients, very detail oriented, yet can paint the big picture, very trustworthy (has a great deal of integrity), and a truely outstanding individual. I would highly recommend him!
Source: LinkedIn walter levinger May 7, 2013Sam was an incredible asset and resource during the three years I worked with him at BGI. While he worked directly in the Compensation department, his function and breadth of knowledge crossed over into multiple areas of HR and at times, into legal and compliance. His attention to detail, ability to partner to support the client's needs and focus on delivering solutions with integrity are impressive. He is truly a great leader and strategic partner. Aside from his day to day compensation function, Sam also led large global projects to restructure BGI's job matrix, exemption classifications and tirelessly worked with the Staffing department as new jobs were created. I would be happy to work with Sam again and welcome any additional requests to provide feedback on his performance.
