The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you log in to TalentUp. It has two purposes: configuring your company-wide settings so that all benchmarks reflect your organization’s profile, and giving your team a shared workspace to collaborate on salary data. Set this up correctly at the start and every search across the platform will be calibrated to your company automatically.

The Company Settings section at the top of the Dashboard contains four configuration cards. These settings are global: any change you make here automatically applies to all salary searches and analyses performed by every team member. Click any card to open the settings modal and configure that option.

1. Fixed Filters

Fixed Filters define the peer group that TalentUp uses when generating salary benchmarks. Instead of seeing the full market, you see data from companies that match your profile. This makes every result more relevant to your actual competitive landscape. Configure:

The active tags displayed at the bottom of the card (for example, “Fintech”, “Startup”) show your current selections at a glance so you always know what peer group is active.

2. Job Grading

This setting controls which seniority level framework TalentUp uses to break down salary data. Select the framework your organization already uses so that benchmark levels map directly onto your internal job grades. Supported frameworks include:

3. Departments

Departments let you define your organizational structure and assign a target salary percentile to each team. This target is central to Internal Pay Analysis: TalentUp compares each employee’s actual pay against the percentile you have set for their department, flagging those who fall significantly below it. For each department you can:

Use the Add button to create departments, and the edit/delete icons to update them as your organization evolves.

4. Salary Basis

Salary Basis sets how all compensation figures are displayed across the platform. Choose the format that matches how your organization expresses pay:

TalentUp Shared Space

The Shared Space section below Company Settings is where your team’s collective benchmarking work is stored and managed. It has four tabs:

The Members tab shows everyone with access to your TalentUp account, including their name, position, department, location, and role. Use the Add Team Member button to invite colleagues. There are two access roles:

When any team member unlocks a salary benchmark, it becomes available to the entire team at no additional cost. The Unlocked Benchmarks tab gives your team a shared library of all benchmarks purchased to date, preventing duplicate spending when multiple colleagues need the same data.

Team members can bookmark benchmarks they want to return to. The Saved Benchmarks tab shows this curated list, making it easy to build a reference library of the most strategically important roles and locations for your organization.

All export requests and file downloads across the team are tracked here. When a file is ready (for example, an employee compensation export or a benchmark report), it appears in this tab and you receive a notification in the top-right corner of the screen.

Top Navigation

The top navigation bar is visible on every page of the platform and gives you direct access to TalentUp’s four core features:
