What survey methods are commonly used to collect the required salary information when conducting market salary survey?

1. Mutual investigation among enterprises

Mutual check between enterprises is a salary survey conducted through the contact between different enterprises and employees. Those enterprises with good external relations are more suitable to adopt this method. If they keep close and long-term cooperation with their peers, they can easily obtain the salary information they need.

2. Entrust an intermediary to conduct an investigation.

Entrusted investigation refers to entrusting a commercial and professional human resources consulting company to conduct an investigation. Especially when it is difficult for enterprises to find equivalent positions in similar enterprises, or enterprises belong to a new industry, such as setting up the position of "network editor" for the first time, enterprises will face difficulties in determining their salary level. At this time, we can consider entrusting a human resources consulting company outside the enterprise to help collect the required salary information. But its cost will be much higher than other investigation methods.

3. Collect public information.

Collecting public information refers to collecting data published by government departments at all levels, salary survey data provided by relevant industry associations, professional societies or academic groups, and statistical data published by newspapers, magazines, networks and other media as an important basis and reference for measuring the salary level of enterprise employees and determining the salary system.

4. Questionnaire

For enterprises, the first three methods are relatively simple, easy to investigate, and feasible for a few standardized positions, but not suitable for a large number of complex positions. Questionnaire survey is a more effective way.
