These days, keeping up with compensation ranges for skilled tech employees can be a daunting task. In order to recruit and retain these talented individuals, you’ll need to offer competitive pay. But how much is enough? Payscale has the technology industry salary data and compensation software you need to stand apart in this competitive market.
Top Challenges for the Technology Industry
Hiring to support rapid growth
The technology industry has been a competitive industry for a long time. Compelling salary offers and total rewards packages are essential to attract talent in a competitive job market.
Planning for pay increases
In a hot job market, you have to think about pay equity. The talent you are most anxious to keep is also the talent you are most likely to lose if your employees' pay doesn't keep pace with their peers.
Attracting skilled talent
The technology industry is investing in more technology and seeing emerging and hard-to-price analytical and IT jobs as a result, with the need for unique market data insights to compensate hot skills.
Accommodating workplace flexibility
Following the pandemic, employees want to be able to work from home at least some of the time. IT businesses are now having to consider location-based pay strategies that can accommodate remote work.
Stop waiting on surveys

We moved from keeping everything on spreadsheets to have one data repository, that allows us to analyze the data. The data is easy to upload and once on the tool is easy to update and customize. The availability to download pretty much any kind of report is amazing for reviews. Start using the tool immediately – easy to use with in-depth features.

Coming from using other compensation tools, we’ve never experienced this level of gold standard customer service before as we have with Payfactors. We love the entire platform, and how user-friendly it is. The Payfactors Data Insights team is incredible and has turned around projects for us so quickly. I would highly recommend Payfactors for any HR Comp professional looking to be more thoughtful in their compensation strategies and for the critical support in doing so.
