Our information sources include: • Market observations of Robert Half Technology staffing and recruiting professionals who specialize in the technology field and make thousands of interim and full-time placements each year. • Robert Half Technology’s comprehensive analysis of current and future hiring trends. • Exclusive research we conduct regularly among chief information officers (CIOs) and IT employees at firms throughout the United States and Canada. The figures in the guide are national averages but can be adjusted for 150 markets across the United States and Canada using the local variance information beginning on Page 19. In addition, at the bottom of each salary table, we provide information on the salary premiums that come with various IT certifications and skills. The salary range listed for each position reflects starting pay only because factors such as seniority and work ethic make ongoing pay difficult to measure. Bonuses and other forms of compensation, such as perks and retirement packages, are also not taken into account. However, because we know these benefits are critical to recruiting and retaining the most innovative IT employees, we include research and information about them on Pages 6 and 9. To ensure our data reflect the most recent employment trends, we publish a new guide every year. Information from the Salary Guide is so well-regarded that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has used it when compiling its Occupational Outlook Handbook.

SARAH CANNON RESEARCH INSTITUTE: CREATING A PERSONALIZED APPROACH TO MEDICINE It sounds like the future of medicine: Treatments and drugs tailored to your specific genetic makeup.

From its head quarters in Nashville, Tenn., SCRI is leading the way in molecular profiling, which classifies tissue using genetic profiles and aids in cancer diagnosis and treatment – helping make next-generation medicine available today. rht.com/SarahCannon 4 Robert Half Technology 2014 Salary Guide • rht.com 5 Robert Half Technology 2014 Salary Guide • rht.com MAKING A JOB OFFER IT CANDIDATES CAN’T REFUSE Innovation starts with building a great team. Say you’ve found the software engineer or web developer of your dreams, and the candidate has sailed through the interview process. You might think the hiring process is over, especially if your firm is the type that’s always focused on the next big idea. But extending the job offer is a crucial step, particularly in a highly competitive IT job market. Do a poor job, and you may start the relationship on the wrong foot – or even lose the applicant to another company. Here Are Some Tips: 1. Don’t wait. After you make up your mind about hiring someone, extend the offer immediately. A delay of even a day or two can cost you. 2. Lay your cards on the table. Put together an attractive compensation package that includes competitive pay, benefits and other perks. If you don’t have these details nailed down yet, you’re not ready to make the offer. 3. Continue to promote your firm. Don’t just discuss the financial aspects of the offer. Remind the individual of the benefits of joining your company, such as flexible work arrangements or training options. You want the candidate to feel good about becoming a member of your team. 4. Stay connected. Remain in touch while the applicant is considering the offer, and even after he or she accepts it, so you can reinforce your enthusiasm about this individual joining your firm. 5. Know how to negotiate. Be prepared if the candidate wishes to negotiate salary or other aspects of the offer. The market for certain IT professionals is especially hot, and top candidates may have multiple offers. Determine in advance how far you’re willing to go. You don’t want to get so caught up in negotiations that you lose sight of what’s appropriate for your organization. Likewise, you don’t want to lose a great prospect over a minor negotiation point. SEVEN PERKS LEADING TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYERS USE TO RETAIN TOP TALENT Hiring in-demand technology professionals is only half the battle for employers. Retaining them for the long term is the other, and that can be an even more difficult challenge. To create a work environment that’s satisfying and enhances productivity – and to stand apart from competitors – many tech firms are offering creative incentives, along with generous compensation packages. In fact, many companies now share extensive details about employee perks on their websites. Here’s just a sample of some benefits innovative technology firms are offering to their staff: 1. Fresh food – Free or low-cost healthy meals and snacks were “wow factor” perks in the dot-com boom of the 1990s. Now, many workers expect their employers to provide them with access to nutritious sustenance during the workday. To meet this demand, software company SAS, in Cary, N.C., has established a one-acre sustainable farm – known as The Culinary Farm – that supplies fresh produce featured on the menus at all four of its employee cafeterias.1 2. Professional development – Technology is always evolving, so keeping skills and knowledge up-to-date is essential for IT professionals. Many employers today offer at least partial reimbursement for professional development and educational opportunities for their workers. Mountain View, Calif.-based soft ware company Intuit is particularly generous in this regard: It gives its employees up to $5,000 per year for continuing education.2 3. A green approach – Many professionals today, particularly members of Generation Y, want to work for an employer that’s environmentally responsible. Since 2004, data management firm Integrated Archive Systems in Palo Alto, Calif., a provider of green corporate IT services, has been helping its team members commute to work in a more earth-friendly way. It offers full-time workers who’ve been employed at the firm for at least a year a $10,000 subsidy to purchase a hybrid vehicle.3 1”The 9 Coolest Company Cafeterias and Food Perks in the Country,” by Susanna Kim, ABC News, Jan. 2, 2013: http://cached.newslookup.com/cached.php?ref_id=33&siteid=416&id=1268294&t=1357144687. 2“Careers at Intuit,” Intuit.com: http://careers.intuit.com/university/benefits-compensation-new-grads. 3“23 Companies With Employee Perks That Will Make You Jealous,” by Aimee Groth and Melissa Stanger, Business Insider, Oct. 13, 2012: http://www.businessinsider.com/companies-with-awesome-perks-2012-10?op=1. 6 Robert Half Technology 2014 Salary Guide uploads/Science et Technologie/ salaryguide-rht-2014.pdf
