What we do

Decision Tree is an automated job evaluation system that provides a cost and time-effective job evaluation process for companies of all sizes and across all industries.

The Decision Tree Method assists human resources and line managers to perform job evaluations by running through a series of questions, the answers of which will allocate an eventual score for the particular job being reviewed.

As a result, by using Decision Tree, a database of jobs is generated with an appropriately evaluated level for each job.

What our users say:

Decision Tree is an exceptionally user-friendly, albeit robust and defensible, job evaluation system and methodology. Once upskilled on the system, with full understanding and context of the numerous help screens linked to each question, job evaluators are able to - logically and confidently - systematically work through the 6 Factors being evaluated. The built-in audit process and guidelines contribute immensely to the overall validation process prior to approval and implementation of grading outcomes. The manner in which the system has been set up, enables the evaluator to have a thorough, yet comfortable, conversation with the line manager (and incumbent) to fully understand the position being evaluated. We all know that the Job Evaluation process can often cause anxiety and suspicion amongst staff members - Decision Tree is, however, a lovely system that is transparent and inclusive.

“I have developed a few Job Evaluation (JE) systems in my career and one of the most important aspects of a good JE system is to ensure that it consistently generates valid and defendable end-results (grades). The Decision Tree JE system has one of the most sophisticated built-in validation criteria that I have ever seen and that is one of the reasons why I confidently recommend the use of the system to organisations across all industries.”

Sanet de Lange

Executive Consultant

"The Decision Tree Job Evaluation tool has been an easy-to-use platform to evaluate jobs in my organization. Apart from its simplicity, it gives comfort to the integrity of the process as it shows a deep scientific approach at arriving at those reward levels. It is equally robust and relevant irrespective of the industry you operate. I have used the DT tool while in First City Monument Bank Nigeria and still using it when I moved to Sterling Bank Plc Nigeria. "

“DT is extremely user friendly and can be applied to any job, at any level, in all types of organisations. Jobs are evaluated using a set of practical questions that are easily understood which therefore gains the buy-in of employees and users. The quality checks and audits that the system provides ensure that evaluations are consistent and fair. It is by far the most practical solution that I have used in my career.”
