Looking for advice! Currently the only recruiter for a SaaS tech company managing about 20-25 open roles at a time, all senior level. Current pay is $65,000 base + 5% bonus. Looking to ask for a raise as I feel I am not being fairly compensated but curious to see what others in the market are making in order to state my case.

I’m at a Global Fintech with 3-5 open roles at a time paying my in house recruiter 75k/yr. + annual bonus (13k-25k - discretionary).

Minimum 3 years exp. in recruitment
Hours: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
100% Remote

100% remote sounds like a dream

I am curious what your hours look like with this work load as a team of one? I would also ask for a team (at least one other hire, possibly a sourcer or coordinator) and proper tools (if you don’t already have them, such as email campaigns for outreaches) to manage everything as a team of one. If your hours are too much, and they decline these things, a raise in salary isn’t what you need- this could indicate your exec’s don’t understand the value of the Talent function and it may be worth moving onto a company who does… of course pay can depend on location, experience, and how you’re performing. But $65k sounds low.

What area of the country are you in? I would say depending on your years of experience that is definitely under market for technical recruiting.

I am fresh out of college at an agency and they are starting me at 60k with a realistic 25% bonus. I am in the Midwest also. It sounds like your underpaid..

Tech Recruiter on two person team, so I have about 8-10 open roles. Mix of entry to senior level. $62k, 3k bonus. I think you need like an 8% increase min. Did they already give an annual or COL raise this year?

I’m curious. Are there any minimum hiring expectations or other KPI’s required if you.

Are you successfully filling some of the roles (unrealistic to fill them all, but that depends on the quality of the hires)? Are you saving the company recruitment fees? Are they happy with your attitude and stretching for the best possible people or are you satisfied with acceptable/meets the requirements? We bumped our salaries for external experienced recruiters to $80,000 from $65,000 last year. I would say the place you need the biggest increase is in the incentive. 5% does not seem to be competitive if you are placing people. I would think 25-50% of the base is more realistic, but ideally, a bonus tied to the percentage of compensation placed would be more motivating (1-5%).

Also in the Midwest and you’re definitely underpaid. Our team of recruiters that have a similar req load are all earning closer to $100K ranging from 6-10 years of experience.

For your next review, I would gather data on all the hires you’ve made and what that translated to dollars wise in cost savings for the company. Also gather your your time to fill data, diversity data, time to hire data etc. I would use as much quantifiable accomplishments as possible along with running a report to show the average salary for recruiters in your industry within your geographic area. I feel this will all be enough amo to ask for your raise.

Hope that helps!

Yes, definitely underpaid, especially in this market for recruiters. You should be at 90k minimum for 6 yoe in the mid-west.

AWS vs Azure, best for culture + compensation?

Sorry new here may be wrong bowl. I will be getting out next year and I have an in with both of these companies. Everyone tells me to go AWS because it's popular and #1, but then I read about the burnout culture of AWS and how so many leave after their first 2 years. I need to make a decision soon and stick with it. Compensation appears to have AWS on the higher side. Microsoft appears to win with culture.

Which would you pick and why?
