Brad is using the factor-comparison method by comparing the two jobs to a benchmark job and evaluating them on factors such as physical effort, responsibility, and skill. This method involves assigning relative weights to different factors based on their importance to the organization and using these weights to calculate a numerical score for each job. The job with the higher score is typically paid more.
