Rate guide
Not a survey, not an aggregator estimate. Aggregated ranges from placements we have actually made, across the disciplines we work in, updated twice a year.
Why this exists
A hiring manager sets a rate from last year budget and a half-remembered conversation. A consultant names a number based on what they got last time and what a friend mentioned. Both then spend three weeks discovering the other was working from bad information.
The published sources do not help much. Salary aggregators mix permanent and contract, national and metro, and rarely separate a CRA I from a Senior CRA. Consultancy surveys sample who responds rather than who gets hired.
We have something better and specific: the rates at which we have actually placed people, by discipline, seniority and market. Aggregated into ranges, scrubbed of anything traceable to a client or an individual, and honest about sample size.

We use this to send the guide and to tell you when it is updated. Nothing else.
