Salary Search is a new resource to determine the full range of salaries a job position is commanding – all the way from the top 10th to the bottom 10th percentile. Offered by the Compensation wing of Business and Legal Reports (BLR), it currently offers information on 2400 job titles.

“We have been collecting compensation information from thousands of companies each year for decades,” says BLR’s founder and CEO Robert L. Brady, “But previously we issued this data only in a lengthy report exclusively for employers. SalarySearch.com is a logical new use of this massive database.”

An employer or employee can receive one free salary report.

“This information helps employers know they’re paying competitively so they can acquire and retain the best talent, but without overpaying,” notes Baker. “Meanwhile, jobseekers and current employees know what to ask in job applications, performance reviews, and salary increase discussions. So when the boss says, ‘what are you looking for?,’ workers can back up their answer with comparative data.”
