Success Stories
Hispanas Organized for Political Equality
Blue Whale, provided a comprehensive report, which I have been able to use to help plan out my staffing strategy. He is a wonderful listener, met every deadline, and treated my organization and me with respect. I truly enjoyed working with him on this project.
Code for Science & Society
The team at Blue Whale Compensation demonstrates a deeply-rooted investment in providing client services that are thorough, applicable, and lasting. The team’s principal, Juan Garcia, provided our organization with tools that we will be using to shape intentional growth for years to come!
Global Fund for Women
Once we started working on the project, Juan became a wonderful thought partner. He not only answered my questions but helped me think through the reasons for his answers. What I appreciated the most was that Juan was more a teacher helping me learn than he was a consultant who simply did all the work.
Reality Changers
Blue Whale Comp was a valuable resource and an excellent partner in creating an updated compensation plan for our non-profit. His expertise enabled us to not only access and review competitive market data, but also make research-based recommendations for updating our pay structure and incentives.
Community Food Club
Our small nonprofit had never done any kind of compensation reviews before and I was nervous about our project. Juan was very thoughtful, trustworthy, and professional. His compensation report helped our board of directors make informed decisions regarding wages for our team.
Blue Whale is a one-stop shop for all of your consulting needs. Juan is very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive to all of our needs. He developed and delivered an easy to administer compensation program and took the time to thoroughly train the Human Resources team and provide them the tools to successfully classify new and updated positions. We couldn’t recommend him enough.
