"Helpful for Job Benchmarking"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Salary.com?

It’s helpful for benchmarking different jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

Job titles that once existed can be removed without notice, and previously available positions may no longer appear. This creates challenges when we have an Excel sheet with existing titles and need to find new roles that closely match the company's current job titles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Bell of Salary.com

Thank you for your review! We’re happy to hear that you are confidently benchmarking competitive and fair pay for your employees with our data.

We appreciate your feedback regarding job titles not appearing. We would recommend that you contact your Customer Success Manager as they will be happy to help you find matching job titles that reflect any updates.

"A Key Resource for Accurate Compensation Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Salary.com?

I love the precision and depth of Salary.com's Personal Salary Report, which feels like having an HR expert next to me. Unlike other sites that rely on crowdsourced data, it uses employer-reported data considering my education, experience, and target company size. I appreciate the 'Cost of Living Wizard,' which easily shows how moving cities affects my take-home pay after taxes and expenses. The Personalized Salary Report and Cost of Living Wizard are valuable tools for career planning and life changes, giving detailed data-driven insights. It makes salary negotiations easier by providing reliable, specific data, transforming the platform into a negotiation partner. The initial setup of Salary.com is straightforward, allowing quick access to tools without creating an account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

In 2026, while Salary.com is incredibly powerful, the primary friction point I encounter is the high wall between free insights and the truly deep, actionable data. Sometimes the interface can feel a bit overwhelming and 'corporate,' with so many menus and upsells that it can be tricky to quickly find the specific Salary Search tool I need without getting lost in a sea of advertisements. I’ve also noticed that for very niche or emerging roles in the tech and green-energy sectors, the employer-reported data can occasionally lag behind the rapid, real-time shifts seen on more community-driven platforms. Streamlining the user experience to be more intuitive and finding a way to provide a bit more granular detail to the free user would make the platform feel less like a gatekeeper and more like a seamless career companion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Bell of Salary.com

Thank you for your detailed review! It’s great to hear that you are getting so much value from the free version of our platform.

We understand that for free users there are certain limitations. This is because our subscription customers get exclusive access to scoping tools that allow you to get more granular data, and we offer real-time job data through our SalaryIQ product.

"Streamlined Compensation with Room for AI Improvement"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Salary.com?

I find that Salary.com offers a large number of job matches for the positions we're hiring for, which is really helpful. The interface is generally pretty easy to use and navigate, making the job matching process quick. When managing over 200 pay ranges across 40 job families, this simplicity and streamlined operations are crucial. The initial setup was very easy, and their account reps are quite responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

I find their AI tool not great at matching job descriptions I upload with jobs in their database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Bell of Salary.com

Thank you for your detailed review! We are happy to hear that our platform is helping you achieve competitive pay rates for your employees.

"Great Skill Filters, But Competitor Visibility Could Be Clearer"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Salary.com?

Users are able to filter the search with specific education and skills to better understand the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

It's unclear which competitors are in that range without looking at their website or job postings. It's understandable that there's confidentiality agreements in that, but does make it a little bit more challenging understanding who truly is competitive for our industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Bell of Salary.com

Thank you for your review! We are glad that you are getting value out of our filtering tools.

Although the confidentiality of our data does present some limitations, it ensures that our data is trustworthy. Our scopes tool also allows you to filter by industry, region, and company size, so we recommend a granular search to give you the best competitive set. If you ever need any help with this, don’t hesitate to contact your Customer Success Manager.

3.5/5
What do you like best about Salary.com?

The ability to narrow job search by industry and location Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salary.com?

Job matching can be difficult. If Salary.com doesn’t have the exact same job title or a closely matching description, no results will show up, and then I’m forced to create a hybrid role to get a match. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
