Detailed information (full catalog of entered posts and cost) in the presentationResearch methodology
Collection of salary information from Job Portals. We collect data on salaries indicated in vacancies and resumes and put them in our job directory according to the name of the vacancy / resume. If the title of the vacancy / resume is too general or inaccurate (for example: "System Administrator"), then after studying the description of the vacancy / resume we select it for a specific position on the basis of expert evaluation.
In this post we use only the data obtained from the
vacancies .
We invite IT companies to participate in our research.
In addition to the study of data on wages, which are listed on the Job portals, in St. Petersburg and Moscow, we conduct a
survey of companies once a year. This is a large study in which we study not only real wages in the labor market, but components of the social package, various types of compensation, staff turnover, costs, providers and much more.
We invite IT companies in Moscow and St. Petersburg to join our research! The preliminary start date of the “survey of companies” is November 3, 2012. For participation in this study, please contact me (Denis Kalanov). More details in the
presentation .
