BRAND NEW MARKETING, CREATIVE AND DIGITAL SALARY COMPARISION PORTAL LAUNCHES
25 October 2011
Firebrand Talent Search launches portal which sheds light on detailed marketing, creative and digital industry salary information that has always been out-of-date and hard to find.
October 25th, 2011 – Specialist recruiter Firebrand Talent Search has launched a new peer-to-peer salary comparison portal for the marketing, creative and digital industry designed to add a greater level of transparency to the taboo workplace conversation topic – how much do people really earn.
Built specifically for industry professionals in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, http://www.esalarysurvey.com has already attracted many salary entries since launching on 10th October — quickly establishing the site as offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date salary data available for the marketing, creative and digital industry. Best of all, the salary data is free for anyone to access online and is updated in real-time.
Greg Savage, Global CEO for Firebrand explains “We are the first global company specialising in marketing, creative and digital recruitment to take the concept of the traditional paper-based salary survey to a whole new level of usefulness. We realised that there is a real trend online for people to freely exchange valuable information and this concept strategically taps into that trend”.
http://esalarysurvey.com operates on a “give to get” model. Put simply, it's a form of sharing - you provide accurate and anonymous salary data by answering about 14 questions about your current role, and in return you get access to all the salary information shared by other members of community in the city you live in, or indeed any other city that is covered by the portal.
The site makes use of the median (as opposed to the average) to report cumulative salary results, helping to lessen the impact of any 'extreme' salary entries and broad salary ranges.
So far the marketing, creative and digital community has embraced the concept with open arms. “We have been overwhelmed by the response to the site so far,” explains Savage, “People have contacted us to say how cool it is to finally have access to a salary resource that considers more than just a person’s job title and location. For example, one can search for data on a person's years of work experience, the number of people that report to them, their highest level of education, and the size and industry of the firm they work for”.
Savage concludes: “As salary entries to the site continue to grow each day beyond the 12,000 salaries already captured, our hope is that the site becomes a rich and indispensable research resource that is continually referred to by marketing, creative and digital job seekers, current employees and employers alike.”
