Salarybase.com – compensation data for salary negotiation or internal review | Businesshackers
Salarybase.com is a novel project aiming to bring employees more compensation data when confronted in salary negotiation or internal review. The service which was launched last year, already aggregates reports from many thousands of employees who reported anonymously their salary profiles. In return for the sharing, they got a comprehensive view on their situation in a few dimensions. The simple and most importantly free service is supported by advertisements and creates a powerful tool for employees.
Using the service is straightforward. Launching the site, you’re asked to fill in the following work parameters: job-title, metro area, yearly salary, bonuses, education, years of experience, industry and employer’s size. Once you fill all these data, you got the free ticket to watch personalized statistics per your situation.
The reports compare you to other folks in the same job capacity across your country and metro areas. It also enabled you to see your stats vs. other industries and changes throughout the last few months.

This talent shortage has caused tech-company CEOs to increasingly pull out all of the stops to lure in new hires. Sixty-nine percent said they relied on equity compensation and stock options, though down from 71 percent in 2006; 51 percent offered flexible hours, up from 29 percent in the prior study; and 38 percent offered training programs and educational opportunities, up from 35 percent in 2006. Only 31 percent of CEOs said they offered workers a career path, up from a previous 28 percent
