Overview

CompMatch Negotiator is an AI-powered salary research and negotiation coach designed for job seekers who want data-backed confidence during compensation discussions. This agent aggregates current market compensation data from authoritative sources, synthesizes industry benchmarks, and generates personalized negotiation scripts tailored to your role, location, and experience level. Whether you've received an offer or are preparing for final interview rounds, CompMatch Negotiator equips you with the intelligence and language needed to negotiate confidently.

How It Works

1. Market Data Search (Exa) — Scans Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, Payscale, and other industry sources using semantic search to pull real-time salary data for your target role, location, and experience tier.

2. Reasoning-Based Query (Perplexity) — Performs a chain-of-thought analysis asking "What is the current total compensation range for [role] with [X] years experience at [company type] in [location]?" to synthesize insights from multiple perspectives and identify compensation trends.

3. Compensation Report Synthesis (Claude Opus) — Aggregates all research into a comprehensive report detailing base salary ranges, equity norms, bonus structures, benefits valuations, and total compensation at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.

4. Negotiation Playbook Generation (Claude Sonnet) — Develops a personalized negotiation strategy including your opening ask, BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) framing, word-for-word counter-offer scripts, time-request language, and non-salary trade-off opportunities.

5. Document Export (Google Docs) — Saves your complete compensation research and negotiation playbook to a Google Docs document for easy reference during conversations with recruiters and hiring managers.

Key Features

• Multi-Source Data Aggregation — Pulls compensation data from Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, and Payscale to create a comprehensive market baseline rather than relying on a single source.
• Percentile Analysis — Identifies 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile compensation ranges so you understand where your ask should land in the market spectrum.
• Personalized Negotiation Scripts — Generates role-specific, company-type-aware counter-offer language and time-request phrases you can use verbatim during negotiations.
• Holistic Compensation View — Evaluates base salary, equity, bonuses, and benefits value together, not in isolation, revealing your true total compensation opportunity.
• BATNA & Trade-Off Strategy — Helps you frame non-monetary benefits (remote flexibility, professional development, PTO) as negotiable levers when salary movement is limited.
