One of our candidates just told us something we hear a lot: 'I didn't realise how much I was worth until you ran the numbers.'
He'd been in the same role for three years. Good money, steady work. But the market had moved on without him noticing.
We pulled together Perth salary data for his skill set and level. Turned out he was about $12k under where similar roles were paying. Not massive, but enough to matter when you're supporting a family.
This is why we always chat to candidates about what the market is actually paying. It's not about getting greedy. It's about getting paid fairly for what you do.
If you're wondering whether your salary is tracking with the Perth IT market, drop us a line. We'll give you a confidential read on what similar roles are paying right now.
