Job Evaluation Methods

Organizations use different methods to determine job worth. Click each tab to compare the approaches:

Point Factor Method
  • Method: Jobs evaluated on compensable factors and assigned point values
  • Complexity: High (most common quantitative method)
  • Pros: Systematic, defensible, objective
  • Cons: Time-consuming to develop
  • Factors: Skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions
Remember
Point Factor is the most common and defensible quantitative job evaluation method. Market Pricing focuses on external competitiveness, while the other methods emphasize internal equity.

What action should HR recommend?
AHire a dedicated IT team to manage large quantities of data.
BInvest in cloud storage to increase capacity.
CTrain employees on knowledge management techniques.
DManage the process of data cleansing as a strategic initiative.

From People Who Passed

I cannot recommend the Master Bundle enough. After feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material for my PHR® exam, HRStudyPro broke everything down into manageable content. The practice exams were similar to the actual test, which significantly lowered my anxiety on exam day. If you want to pass on your first attempt, this is the investment to make.
I used a different study tool for my SHRM-CP® but I'm glad I went with this one for my SHRM-SCP®. The study guides helped me understand the SHRM way of doing things, which was helpful. And the practice tests are very similar to the actual exam.
Passed my SHRM-CP® using HRStudyPro! The SJIs they have were similar to the ones on the real exam. The study guides kept the studying manageable while also being comprehensive.
This site helped reinforce the concepts for the SHRM-CP® exam. The website was easy to use and navigate. I enjoyed how the study material was interactive as it made studying not as much of a chore. I found this site helpful and it helped me pass my exam. I would recommend.
The study program itself is well thought out, thorough, and easy to use. Thank you so much for such a wonderful study system!
Great resource for helping me pass the SHRM-CP® exam. The practice exams were very realistic and set me up for success.

From The Founder

Built By
Kevin Byford, SPHR
Kevin Byford, SPHR®
HR Director
10+ Years in Human Resources

I built HRStudyPro because I was frustrated with the exam prep options when I was studying for my own certification. If you’re reading this, I’ve been exactly where you are.

Read the full story
Why I Built This

Expensive prep programs upsell live courses, instructional videos, and add-ons I don’t think most HR professionals need. I didn’t want to pay a premium price just to watch someone read off PowerPoint slides about unfair labor practices over a blurry Zoom call.

On the flip side, the cheaper alternatives are churned out by test prep mills that sell content for everything from nursing exams to plumbing certifications. Their materials were filled with errors and references to outdated laws any HR professional would catch.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the 7-day satisfaction guarantee?

We offer a 7-day satisfaction guarantee on all purchases. If you're not satisfied for any reason, contact us at support@hrstudypro.com within 7 days of purchase for a full refund. No loopholes, no forms, no questions asked.

Will this guarantee I pass the SPHR® exam?

No prep resource can guarantee you'll pass. These exams are difficult by design. We're confident that with consistent study, our materials will give you the thorough preparation you need to walk in ready.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime. Once you purchase, you keep access. There's no subscription, no exam-window expiration, and no surprise charges. Updates to the content are free, including alignment to future exam outline revisions.

What's the difference between the Master Bundle and Practice Exams?

The Master Bundle ($179) is the complete study system: study guides, flashcards, subject quizzes, and full-length timed practice exams pulled from our 1,000+ question bank. The Practice Exams ($109) package is just the timed simulation exams, useful if you already have study materials elsewhere and just need exam-day practice. Both packages include unlimited retakes, randomized each attempt.

How is HRStudyPro different from HRCP, Pocket Prep, or Mometrix?

Three things set us apart. First, HRStudyPro is built by an SPHR certified HR professional with 10+ years of HR experience and focused exclusively on HR certifications, not a multi-subject test prep company that covers everything from the SAT to nursing exams. Second, you pay once and keep lifetime access: no monthly subscription, no exam-window expiration, and free updates as the exam outline evolves. Third, you get every study format (study guides, flashcards, subject quizzes, and full-length practice exams) for one flat $179, instead of paying $129.99 every month until you pass.

Is the question bank really 1,000+ questions?

Yes. The question bank powers both the subject quizzes and the practice exams, randomized each attempt. Questions are a mix of knowledge-recall and scenario-based items written to mirror the style of the actual HRCI® exam.

How current is the content? Is it aligned to the latest exam outline?

All content is aligned to the 2026 HRCI® SPHR® exam content outline. We update materials as HRCI publishes outline changes, and updates are included free for lifetime customers.

Who built this?

HRStudyPro is built by an SPHR certified HR professional with 10+ years of in-house HR experience. Every piece of content is written or reviewed personally. This isn't a side hustle reselling generic content, it's a deliberate effort to make better prep materials than what currently exists on the market. Read the founder's story.
