Let’s talk comp — I’m a remote head of recruitment with 6 years of experience being paid 75K base plus bonuses that got me to 90K this year. I’m interviewing for other jobs, and have a potential offer at $130K base. Any idea what the market is like? Is seems like anything between 72K and $250K is possible. I have no idea what to ask companies for.

Kudos on your exciting new prospects. I’d suggest you copy/paste same message to all recruiter and other industry relevant bowls. It varied widely based on many factors: industry’s, YOE, certifications etc. But I agree, I have noticed West Coast comp is usually higher than East/Midwest, mostly also due to higher COLA. Good luck!

Thank you! Good idea!

130 seems about right! There's equity stakes as well that could bring you to 175k. Definitely reach for the moon in tech because it is possible but yes I'm interested to know as well. Good luck!

Thank you! The offer does include 10% profit sharing which is nice, I just want to make sure I’m going to a company with amazing culture, growth potential, and solid comp

What industry? That seems really low. I'm in tech and out recruiting managers are $200k plus bonus.

The salary seems low as a Director or even a Manager for that matter. A little more context would be helpful. How large is the team you are managing? What is the overall size of the organization?

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! I knew I was below market in comp but it’s still a shock by how much — that type of base would be life changing honestly

Oh wow. Significantly underpaid. So many factors come into play like industry, company, global responsibilities, team#s, total business volume, metrics, financials. Either way, should be much higher.
