Capabilities

Tools 7

find_surveys_for_position

Find compensation surveys that benchmark a specific job title or position (e.g. 'Software Engineer', 'CPA', 'Sr Acct', 'head of finance'). Combines literal title matching with embedding-based semantic similarity, so abbreviations and paraphrases work — 'CPA' returns 'Certified Public Accountant', 'Sr Acct' returns 'Senior Accountant'. Reports per position are ranked to surface broad-coverage surveys (general-industry, US scope) before niche cuts.

Discovered
get_report

Detailed info on a single survey report by slug.

Discovered
get_vendor

Detailed info on a specific vendor by slug, including all of their reports. Use after `search` or `list_vendors_by_industry` returns a candidate.

Discovered
list_vendors_by_industry

List every CompShop vendor that publishes surveys for a given industry. Use when the user asks 'what survey publishers cover [industry]?'

Discovered
list_vendors_by_region

List vendors with survey coverage in a given region. Use when the user asks 'what publishers cover [region]?' Region is matched against both vendor-level scope and individual report scopes.

Discovered
recommend_surveys

Recommend the best-fit compensation surveys given a hiring/benchmarking context. Use when the user asks 'what survey should I use for [situation]?' Returns ranked vendors with rationale. Required: industry. Optional: region, role focus.

Discovered
search

Free-text search across the CompShop directory of compensation surveys. Returns matching vendors, reports, job families, and positions. Use for open-ended discovery questions like 'biotech surveys in Europe' or 'CEO compensation data'.
