HOW DOES FOOTE PARTNERS COLLECT IT SKILLS PAY DATA?
Foote Partners continually monitors the compensation, attitudes, and workplace experiences of 95,000 IT workers in nearly 2,000 North American employers. The information is constantly refreshed ‘real world’ salary and skills pay data.
Foote Partners distinction is its completely unique compensation survey methodology. A constant flow of confidential compensation data is received directly from HR departments and hundreds of senior IT and business executive "research partners" with whom Foote Partners senior research team have forged relationships over decades as former industry analysts and consultants at top firms like McKinsey & Company, Gartner, Towers Perrin and Wm. M. Mercer. There is no aggregation of data sources or compilation of other firms' surveys. Foote is then able to spend more of their efforts correcting job titles that don’t match what workers actually do on-the-job, plus using multiple validation techniques for ensure the most reliable and accurate surveys possible.
