Compensation is the main factor driving employee career choices in 2022. Especially in IT, no surprise there — are too many open positions and a big shortage of candidates. The overall number of advertisements for tech jobs in 2021 was nearly double the number for 2019 or 2020, while the number of specialists remained almost the same. ****Tech people have the right to demand proper compensation.

58% of candidates expect to face clear communication from the recruiter (Glassdoor, 2020). Social media gurus teach them that talking openly about your salary expectations is harmful — what if the company has a larger compensation planned for this particular position? We as recruiters are placed in an impossible position where why should play on both sides: to keep the company pleased by fetching the most qualified talents at the lowest cost possible and offer candidates proper compensation so that they accept the job.

But how on Earth can recruiters predict the estimated salary of each person?

Estim8.ai can help with this issue

It is a brand-new tool made implemented as a Chrome Extension. Estim8.ai allows you to make very accurate salary guesses for US tech candidates right on their LinkedIn profiles. Surprisingly, this extension will be beneficial to both parties: candidates might evaluate expectations, and recruiters will make competitive offers.

How to use it?

Open Chrome Store and download an Extension
Proceed to the candidate’s LinkedIn profile and click the extension icon on the left
That’s it! Estim8 shows you the estimated salary, bonuses, and share stocks of an individual.

Pricing

Estim8.ai is completely free! With no restrictions on the number of openings — but you should sign in to use it.

Why is it useful to know how much a candidate earns?

Estim8.ai allows you to predict a candidate’s salary before writing to them on social networks. So, the effectiveness of cold outreach increases. And more chances that candidate chooses your company.

30% of candidates say that salary negotiation is the part they dislike about the recruitment process. Trying to get clear information about compensation could be challenging and, in most cases, unnecessary for both parties.
