“We saw an opportunity to transform the outdated model for assessing compensation and help companies approach compensation as a strategic business advantage,” said Dave Smith, Chief Revenue Officer at PayScale. “It-s incredibly fulfilling to see our vision realized by customers who use PayScale every day to attract and retain the best talent in their organizations.”
PayScale is a disruptive force in the compensation market because it uses sophisticated technologies including Big Data, statistical analytics, and the cloud to deliver specific salary matches for the open positions companies are most eager to fill.

This is the type of real-time Big Data insight businesses will find fascinating, useful, and — ultimately — a lot less expensive.”
