Overview

For the second year in a row, Hired has tapped into its data to reveal insights into technology workers’ salaries and the hiring market more generally. Because Hired facilitates the job searching process from the initial interview request all the way to the final job offer, we have unprecedented visibility into salaries across a variety of positions and companies. Most of the tools available to companies and job seekers are flawed and inaccurate. Salary calculators don’t account for company size, years of candidate experience or location, while many job sites are based on anonymous, self-reported data which can vary widely in accuracy. Hired’s data, on the other hand, is based on actual job offers made to real people.

This second edition of Global State of Tech Salaries report is part of our larger effort to bring more transparency to the hiring process and provide an inside look at the compensation landscape for tech workers. As a result of our recent expansion into France, Australia and Singapore, we now have access to salary information in 16 of the world’s biggest tech markets, and have broadened this year’s report to reflect our truly global reach. Moreover, we recently began collecting voluntary demographic data from candidates on our platform, which allows us to analyze how race, age and bias can impact one’s salary.

Ultimately, we want to empower candidates to understand their market value based on their skills and experience so that they can approach the job searching process armed with information. We also want to help companies recruit and hire with insight. We believe this transparency benefits everyone, so that individuals can find jobs they love and companies can attract the individuals who will drive their businesses forward.
