Since 2000, ERI has provided the public and employers with research on compensation by pulling salary survey data and integrating that data into our custom salary products. Our only business is data, and the accuracy of our compensation data is our number one priority. Thousands of companies rely on ERI's accurate salary data for their compensation planning needs. We employ Ph.D. level data scientists and seasoned compensation professionals who provide an unrivaled level of expertise.

Advanced analytics, such as machine learning, longitudinal analysis, meta-analysis, and AI are all part of our methodology, which enables us to understand how each job fits into its organization, location, and industry, and how market forces influence compensation. Compensation data sourced from ERI’s salary surveys, customer HRIS data, data from proxies/10-Ks and Forms 990, proprietary databases, and purchased survey data provide a robust sample that is second to none in terms of volume and quality. Convergent validation has shown 99% agreement between Salary Assessor results and time-matched survey responses.
