Tech Industry Compensation Management Made Simple

These days, keeping up with compensation ranges for skilled tech employees can be a daunting task. In order to recruit and retain these talented individuals, you’ll need to offer competitive pay. But how much is enough? Payscale has the technology industry salary data and compensation software you need to stand apart in this competitive market.

Top Challenges for the Technology Industry

Hiring to support rapid growth

The technology industry has been a competitive industry for a long time. Compelling salary offers and total rewards packages are essential to attract talent in a competitive job market.

Planning for pay increases

In a hot job market, you have to think about pay equity. The talent you are most anxious to keep is also the talent you are most likely to lose if your employees' pay doesn't keep pace with their peers.

Attracting skilled talent

The technology industry is investing in more technology and seeing emerging and hard-to-price analytical and IT jobs as a result, with the need for unique market data insights to compensate hot skills.

Accommodating workplace flexibility

Following the pandemic, employees want to be able to work from home at least some of the time. IT businesses are now having to consider location-based pay strategies that can accommodate remote work.

Stop waiting on surveys

Payscale gives you access to current salary data that you can cut any way you like it — even by competitors! — so you can make pay decisions right now.

How Payscale customers are leveraging the power of pay
Peer is intuitive, easier, and more enjoyable to use than annual surveys, plus there is relevant, real-time data and no need to wait months and months. With the market changes of late, having data that changes with the agility of Peer is required. Peer’s real-time data is the only way to be credible with my leadership team. You simply cannot use quarterly or yearly data in times like these where markets are being directly influenced by the social and economic impacts of 2020 – Peer is the way to go now and in the future.

How Payscale customers are leveraging the power of pay
Payfactors is the vendor that has the most accurate data and has given us much more confidence in where we stand in the market. Using Peer by Payfactors is the first time our leadership team hasn’t questioned the data Compensation and HR has presented. I’d recommend Payfactors to anyone in the hospitality industry in a heartbeat. We go to a HR conference each year and most of the other companies we meet with also recommended this as their go to platform.

How Payscale customers are leveraging the power of pay
"After surveying team members on their preferences, we opted to transition to a remote-first workforce and were able to model costs and conduct analysis on pay strategies to develop a globally-centered approach to compensation with geographic differentials that would be fair and equitable for team members. Payscale has been a phenomenal partner during this process and have also provided services to help us deliver asynchronous manager training to communicate our compensation strategy and rationale to team members as part of a pay transparency initiative.”
