What is the salary benchmarking process and why is it important for fintech recruitment?
Salary benchmarking involves comparing salaries across the market for specific roles within fintech. It provides a range and average that helps employers make informed decisions about pay structures or bonuses during appraisal periods or when hiring new talent. Benchmarking is crucial for assessing compensation packages relative to competitors, especially between larger fintechs (with headcounts above 250), VC-backed firms, and SMEs.
Effective benchmarking enhances an organisation's reputation while attracting and retaining top-tier talent in high-demand areas like payments technology or blockchain development.
