Fits: Leaders & strategy · HR · Finance & accounting

You give clients and candidates a reasoned salary range based on comparable cases. Offers fail less often because of salary, and you can explain where the figure comes from.

Is this for you?

  • You regularly fill or advise on positions in a few occupational fields and regions.
  • You have salary data from your own placements or offers, or access to pay studies and public earnings statistics.
  • Before advertising a position, clients ask what it will cost.
First step today

Put together ten of your completed placements in one occupational field, only position, years of experience, region, type of company, fixed salary and date, without names or clients. Use the template below to estimate a range for a current position and compare it with your own assessment.

How to go about it

  1. Set the positions and the salary definition
  2. Collect salary data and influencing factors
  3. Have the salary range calculated
  4. Compare with real offers and agreed salaries
  5. Use it in client advice and job ads
  6. Update every quarter
