What to Consider When Offering Salaries
When it comes to seeking a new hire for your company’s job opening, there are many things to take into consideration before giving a salary range.
First, what are the main duties of the role you are seeking to fill? How many years of experience are you requiring for the role? Where is the role located?
As you can see, when it comes to hiring candidates, you will need to consider many things before discussing salary. If you are seeking entry level candidates, you can expect to pay a lower wage than if you were seeking candidates with several years of experience.
Additionally, you should consider the location of the position. If your office is in Boston, MA, expect to pay a lot higher salary than if your office was located in Pawtucket, RI.
Also, the size of your company should be taken into consideration when determining compensation. A company with 20 employees and a company with 2000 employees may have the same job opening, but larger companies generally offer higher salaries and bonuses because they have more resources.
Lastly, take into consideration other benefits that you offer. Employees see salary as a significant influence on their decision to join a company, but other benefits are also important. These benefits include PTO, health coverage, sick days, remote work flexibility, and much more.
