Squirrel is not a salary survey, nor do we suggest it replace your salary surveys. Salary surveys are carefully developed data sources that are critical for all compensation pracitioners. However, surveys are limited, by safe harbor to be 90 days old, anonymous, and managed by a third party. Squirrel provides real-time data
Squirrel pulls data from publicly available sources, including both aggregated job boards and employer job boards.
Squirrel has more than 25-million job postings, and adds between 80,000 and 100,000 every day. That’s more job data salary surveys have, however Squirrel’s data still remains a sample of the market, and not every job posting is going to be captured by Squirrel, for a variety of reasons ranging from quality checks to data collection processes we employ.
- Duplicate entries are removed, even if the same job is found on multiple job boards.
- Job postings with extremely wide ranges are excluded.
- Only jobs with actual rates of pay are included. Job postings with estimated rates of pay are excluded from the Squirrel database.
- Users have the ability to remove statistical outliers from their datasets as they conduct searches.
- The data must include a number of fields, such as rate of pay, location, job descriptions, and company name to be included in the Squirrel database.
