CareerBuilder and PayScale
The 2 companies in the title of this post have released a new website – cbsalary.com. The site is a competitor of the long established salary.com website of which I am a fan.
The CareerBuilder site has some interesting hooks to it including a direct link to current job listings on their board. If I am not mistaken, salary.com offers a comprehensive service that searches the big 3 job boards. There is a section towards the end of the free report that offers a comparison to similar profiles which was interesting. The similar jobs were close, but not quite exact. I searched on a Technical Recruiter position but the comparisons were for a general recruiter which is a big difference. The report does list benefits/perks for the profile which has some valuable information (laptop, cell phone, telecommute, etc.).
One thing I have to mention, cbsalary has a blog! And it is run by Dr. Al Lee who is a PhD in physics from Yale and goes by the moniker “Dr. Salary.” You’ll know that fact the minute you read a post there.

Actually – Ask Dr. Salary is a PayScale blog and we’re glad you enjoyed it.
Dr. Al has made some interesting new posts lately – one on average salary for jobs in Iraq

and another on the APAs study about Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

Plus, I’ve never seen an exploration of mean vs. median that’s as compelling as his 3 part series on this subject.
