Company Background
|
Today, it’s typical for both employees
and employers to have access to accurate information about fair
compensation - but that wasn’t always the case. In
1999, Salary.com’s CEO
Kent Plunkett
had a vision for making
compensation data accessible and building on-demand software and tools
to drive equity into discussions about people, pay and
performance. Salary.com was born out of a need for individuals,
large and small employers alike to have equal access to previously
shrouded pay information. By creating compensation data,
tools and software to serve the personal user, small to medium-sized
business (SMB) and Enterprise sectors, Salary.com has fulfilled several
long neglected compensation - and performance - related needs.

Consumer Offerings
|
|
After initially investing in the URL
“Salary.com,” Plunkett launched the
company’s on-demand consumer offerings: the free Salary
Wizard® and premium Personal Salary Report. Today,
the consumer-facing site generates over 4 million visitors per month
and syndicates its content across a network of over 2,000 sites
including AOL, Yahoo and Monster.com. These services help to
educate employees, and equip them with the critical tools necessary to
engage employers in meaningful dialogues about pay and performance.

Business Offerings
|
|
In 2001, Salary.com expanded its offerings with
on-demand software designed specifically to help solve the unique
compensation challenges facing large enterprises and small-to-medium
size businesses. Having recognized the need for HR departments to
play a more strategic role in the business process and develop sound
business cases for talent management programs that link pay to
performance, Salary.com introduced new tools to automate and streamline
market pricing, compensation planning and performance management.
Today’s strategic HR department is faced with new mandates
from the
executive suite to attract and retain the best talent and demonstrate
the ROI of sound workforce management strategies. To address
these
needs, Salary.com introduced three new on-demand software
services:
Professional Edition for Small Business – a market pricing tool
for
companies with 200 employees or less, CompAnalyst™ - a market
pricing,
survey management and pay analytics suite, and
TalentManager™
(formerly
CompPlanner®) - a compensation planning and performance
management
application. Equipped with the knowledge that value systems
around pay
philosophy and compensation practices are varied across different
organizations – Salary.com has developed software that
embraces and
adapts to each company’s unique needs and processes.

Data Integrity
|
|
Acknowledged since inception as unrivaled,
Salary.com’s core
compensation
databases possess a unique
combination of depth, breadth, accuracy and accessibility. Through its
in-house compensation team that gathers data for thousands of
individual jobs as reported by human resource departments, Salary.com
data is further analyzed and adjusted using a proprietary process that
blends industry expertise with patented algorithms and sophisticated
technology. To back its commitment to outstanding data and content,
Salary.com invests substantial amounts of financial and human capital
to develop its compensation databases, models and library of analytical
tools.

"They have unbelievable customer service – the strongest I have seen from any vendor I have worked with. The customer service piece was more critical to me than anything else because I really needed them to understand what I wanted to accomplish."
