HR DataHub is very different from conventional salary surveys, which often take a long time to create and can be months out of date by the time they are published. Salary surveys usually focus on large enterprises but miss out researching the pay rates of smaller or mid-sized companies. And, despite being relatively expensive, surveys can eat up valuable time with painstaking cross-checking of company pay rates against survey like-for-likes.
In contrast, HR DataHub gives you a real-time market view of today’s average salaries in an instant for all business sizes, types, and UK locations. With HR DataHub, you get access to up-to-date data. It’s easy to search and compare salaries for individual roles, spot salary trends, and ensure you’re offering fair and equitable pay with real-time data, all in a single platform. And all for a fraction of the cost of a salary survey!
