2 0 1 7 SALARY GUIDE
HUMAN RESOURCES
welcome to the 2017 salary guide Despite the attention often placed on an employer’s ancillary offerings like training opportunities and work-life balance programs, they are not the top priorities for today’s workforce. Across generations, gender and education levels, “salary and benefits” was cited as the most important factor when choosing an employer.1 In a candidate-driven market, organizations must ensure that the compensation they offer is not just in line with the market, but competitive enough to win over job seekers who have more options than ever. Our 2017 Salary Guide provides a benchmark for assessing the strength of your pay rates against those of your competitors, many of whom frequently vie for the same talent as you. If your pay is below average, consider whether the cost of losing talent to competitors justifies salary adjustments for new hires or current employees. Also, take note of the impact that geography has on pay if you plan to hire talent in other markets. We invite you to browse the guide’s contents and connect with us to discuss how we can help you build a strong team or find your next great hire. Randstad’s Employer Branding Study, 2016

about this guide This guide presents compensation information for key human resources positions that are the most prevalent or in demand. Salary details are provided for over 40 geographic markets located within five pay zones, as outlined on the following salary key. These zones represent U.S. cities or metropolitan areas that offer similar pay rates to one another. Pay zones were determined by examining several elements for each market, including but not limited to: cost of living, availability of talent, local economic factors and Randstad Professionals’ own data. The salary ranges presented here account for differences created by a company’s size and industry, as well as a candidate’s job tenure, certifications, advanced degrees and other factors. The data reflects base compensation only and is derived from a combination of private and public companies. Every organization structures its human resources departments differently, and the job titles presented here may not be an exact match to those within your organization. For descriptions of the job titles used or to request a market-specific analysis, please contact one of our staffing and recruitment specialists at your local Randstad Professionals office.
