Gradar AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

gradar is a German job evaluation and compensation benchmarking platform for HR and total rewards teams. It combines objective job grading, market salary comparisons and pay transparency reporting, and generates job descriptions automatically from its evaluation data.

gradar is operated by Quality Personnel Management GmbH, headquartered in Düsseldorf. The platform covers three main areas: job architecture and evaluation, compensation analysis with market benchmarking and compa-ratio tracking, and pay transparency reporting including gender pay gap analysis. Evaluated positions are graded on a defined scale and matched to reference positions in market salary studies.

The vendor states more than 600 organizations use gradar to manage over 500,000 positions, with named customers including Deutsche Bahn, Schott and SGL Carbon. The interface is available in German, English and seven other languages.

• Writes job descriptions from evaluation datagradar combines the result of its job evaluation with generative AI to draft a complete job description covering purpose, main tasks, and required skills. HR teams get a starting draft they can edit instead of writing each description from scratch.
• Translates job descriptions automaticallyOnce a description is drafted, gradar automatically translates it into any of its supported interface languages using DeepL's translation engine. HR teams can publish a role in German, English, or another supported language without asking a translator to rewrite it by hand.
• Matches internal roles to market benchmarksA custom-trained AI model matches gradar's internal job families to the job families used in external salary benchmark catalogs, with automatic fallback matches when a direct comparison lacks market data. Compensation teams get more complete and consistent benchmark coverage, according to the vendor, without matching every role by hand.

• Job grading uses a fixed point-factor method with 25 grades; identical inputs always produce identical results, according to the vendor.
• Interface available in nine languages including German, English, Turkish and Romanian.
• Flat annual license tiers from €3,000 to €10,000, not per-employee pricing.
• Operated by Quality Personnel Management GmbH under the gradar brand, headquartered in Düsseldorf.

Headquartered in Düsseldorf per the legal notice (operated by Quality Personnel Management GmbH), with German as the default interface language and named customers such as Deutsche Bahn and Schott.

Clarify which HRIS or payroll systems need to connect for market data and job matching, and ask where the application data is hosted, since we could not find this on gradar's site in September 2026. Pricing tiers are published, but the Ultimate Edition needs a separate quote. Because job grading affects how employees are classified and paid, involve the German works council early under Section 87(1) no. 6 BetrVG, especially when introducing new grading criteria.
