Why should my organization conduct a custom salary survey?

Why should you consider a custom survey?

Accurate information on what competitors pay their employees is essential for businesses when making hiring decisions, paying bonuses and providing salary increases.

Employers need compensation data covering industry-specific or specialized jobs. Often, this information can be:

Unavailable through published surveys
Outdated and no longer applicable
Contain too few results to be statistically significant

Organizations need to know they’re offering the right salary and benefits to hire and keep top talent. When the data isn’t available, Bluewater helps you sponsor a custom survey tailored to your specific needs.
