Salary Benchmarking
Why benchmark salaries?
Whether you are recruiting for a new role, or looking to retain valuable employees, being equipped with up to date salary information helps you attract and retain the best people for your business. Determine the market rate salary for individual job titles, based on real-time salary data, sector and location.
If you are hiring for a new position, benchmarking salaries to ensure job satisfaction for existing staff, or forecasting pay rise information for company budgets, the Ashdown Group can provide you with high quality researched salary data.
We carry out salary benchmarking in every industry sector, providing custom bespoke salary reports for specific roles. Our expert team of recruitment consultants speak to hundreds of business professionals daily, acquiring up-to-the minute job market data and intelligence, and a comprehensive understanding of the ever evolving recruitment landscape. The Ashdown salary survey is personally created for each client, without the use of a generic salary benchmarking tool, which often uses out-dated salary information, presenting unreliable, inaccurate results.
Salary Benchmarking Methodology
Your job description is compared to similar live positions in the current UK job market and historical salary data, extracted from the 17,000 industry specific vacancies registered with the Ashdown Group. Using both in-house software tools and the knowledge and expertise of our recruitment professionals, data is analysed, taking into consideration job roles, industry sector, location and specific skills.
With a registered candidate community of over a million professionals, we are well placed to establish actual salaries being paid for the position and responsibilities most closely matched to your job details.

Providing information and advice in a consultative manner, supporting hiring decisions and guiding customers towards successful outcomes has led to 85% of our company business coming from returning customers.
What will your benchmark report include?
Our salary benchmarking survey will indicate the market rate currently being paid to those performing the role within other companies, to see how your salary compares when attracting job seekers.
As well as valuable salary information, your report will include the level of demand for those skills across the UK, the volume and demand by job title, location, industry and the likely application rate.

Keep up to date with contract day rates
Benchmarking contract day rates against the market is essential to attracting the best temporary talent and staying ahead of competition.
Rates, availability of talent, location, skills and industry specific requirements make fixed temporary benchmarking almost impossible, with any published data becoming inaccurate and outdated quickly.
To gather the most accurate information, we offer a bespoke service, establishing day rates from those with the skills and experience at the time of need. We offer this service free of charge to clients and provide further insights into geographic differences, levels of competition for skills and many helpful industry insights, enabling you to budget accurately and cost projects.
