Client Background
Client Need
A fierce competition for engineering talent hampered the client’s growth. Attracting and retaining qualified personnel at their current compensation structure proved difficult, resulting in high turnover and longer project completion times due to a talent shortage.

We addressed the client’s talent acquisition challenges through a comprehensive compensation analysis:
- Our analysts conducted a thorough study of both national and local demand for engineering positions.
- We compared hiring activity and salary rates of the client’s four main competitors in the region, focusing on roles like those experiencing high turnover.
- This analysis revealed significant pay discrepancies between the client and their competitors. Based on this data, we recommended targeted compensation adjustments to bring their offerings in line with the market, making them more competitive in the talent war.
