Given our industry focus and vast database of talent, we have in-depth knowledge of compensation ranges for mid to senior management employees. We regularly advise clients as to current employment market conditions and consult on matters of compensation including base salary, bonus programs, incentive commissions, and long term compensation. For a fair market rate cost, we will produce and provide compensation information, à la carte to our main executive search service of sourcing, screening and submitting qualified candidates. The salary data we provide is anonymous, in that it is tied to job titles and not executive’s names.
