Survey Sectors

We offer a multisector approach in all survey markets that brings together data from both leading public and private sector employers. We also have separate surveys for NGOs and commercial (for profit) development organizations in approximately ninety countries.

Surveys That Are Evergreen

Developing markets are dynamic so we update our surveys three times a year, every April, July, and October, giving our participants the freshest data possible. And because our surveys are conducted on an ongoing basis, employers can join our surveys any time throughout the year.

Participation Is Easy

Our data-collection process is streamlined, relying on a short questionnaire and an in-depth interview to gather the necessary information. Our specialists do the job matching, ensuring consistency across all employers.

What to Use Our Data For

The most effective decisions are those made with real data, not intuitive gut feel. That’s why we have comprehensive data to help you make even the most intricate compensation and benefits decisions.

Our survey data empowers you to benchmark positions in local markets and create salary structures tailored to the requirements in each country while still conforming to global standards.

Custom Cuts

It is often helpful to base market comparisons on a selected group of peer employers, typically sharing some important characteristics such as size, location, or sector. Custom cuts greatly facilitate the utility of survey data by enabling clients to analyze their market position against their selected peers. Contact us so we can help you create your own custom cut.
