JobLink ™, Aon’s Proprietary Job Evaluation Approach
What is Job Evaluation?
Job evaluation is an objective process that underpins your organization’s titling, compensation, and assessment frameworks. This process is essential for the global mobility of leadership positions within the organization. Thorough job evaluations help organizations meet global pay transparency regulations, eliminate inequities, motivate employees, foster inclusive cultures, and ensure legal compliance. Objective pay approaches underpinned by job evaluation benefit both staff and the organization.
Why is Job Evaluation Important?
Failure to attract or retain top talent is the fourth biggest risk facing organizations globally and is predicted to remain the fourth most critical risk through 2026, according to our survey of C-suite executives. Job evaluation allows organizations to create a strong internal leveling framework that supports objective decisions about pay, benefits, career planning, and organizational design. By building a strong job architecture system, organizations can attract, retain, and motivate talent by providing the workforce with a clearer understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Job architecture and evaluation combined helps organizations to chart a path for career progression and mobility within the organization. These outcomes all contribute to a sustainable employee value proposition and help organizations attract and retain required talent.

JobLink™ – Aon’s Proprietary Job Evaluation Tool
JobLink™ is Aon’s market leading job evaluation tool, developed to directly address the need for a new, modern job evaluation system to accurately assess relative job sizes of roles within organizations. Clients report JobLink as simpler to understand and apply than competing standardized global systems – and we agree. JobLink identifies factors that can capture how modern-day roles are differentiated in their application of knowledge, span of authority and connectedness to other parts of the organization. On a global or local level, JobLink satisfies the requirements for companies that need to demonstrate the use of a gender-neutral analytical job evaluation methodology that allows the value of a job (and pay opportunity) to be determined.
Aon’s Radford McLagan Survey leveling framework is aligned to JobLink™, allowing our clients to use both market pricing and analytical job evaluation for global job architecture.
