Analysis: Last 50 Jobs #10

Top Level Observations
  • It took 9 months to get to 50 jobs.  While I did change the minimum requirements for contracting work from $50/hr to $65/hr, I don't think that had a big impact.
  • The market has definitely been slower. Though, as I posted this, I also had 4 new jobs to post.  It might be starting to pick up again a little.

Full-Time Roles
  • 11 out of 50 (22%) of the roles pitched were full-time roles.  (vs 40% last time)
  • Rates ranged from $100k/yr (Arkus + one undisclosed company) to $256k/yr (PennyMac)
  • The average was $153k/yr (vs $158k) with a median of $130k/yr (vs $150k).
 
Contract Roles
  • Contract roles ranged from $50/hr to $110/hr (undisclosed).  
  • During this period, I increased the minimum from $50/hr to $65/hr.
  • The average was $78/hr (vs $79) and the median was $78/hr (vs $75).
 
Where the Work is Done
  • 31 out of 50 (62%) of the roles pitched were remote. (vs 84% last time)
  • 6 roles were office-based, but with you could choose from multiple locations
  • Otherwise, there were 6 in California, 1 in Illinois, 1 in Massachusetts, 2 in New Jersey, 1 in New York and 2 in Texas 
 
Work for Us!
  • 14 of the 50 roles were named companies this time around. 
     
    • American Airlines
    • Arkus, Inc.
    • Capgemini
    • Charles Schwab
    • CSAA Insurance
    • IBM for T-Mobile
    • Infosys
    • LTI Mindtree
    • PennyMac
    • Persistent Systems
    • Salem Infotech
    • SYSCO Corporation
    • TCS
    • Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America

Recommendations -- How can you stand out in a crowded field?
  • MENTION PAY. Include the budgeted compensation range, at the very least the base salary.
     
  • RAISE YOUR RATES. These are the competition who are struggling to find candidates, the companies that aren't struggling are paying more and filling quickly.
     
  • GO FULL-TIME. If you're looking for a professional with years of experience, is a 6-month contract really your best offer? 
     
  • BE SPECIFIC. Be specific about what you need, if necessary ask someone like me to help you refine your job description. The field attracts introverts with imposter syndrome. A poorly worded job description that asks for the moon is just asking to be dismissed.
     
  • UNDERSTAND THE FIELD. There's a lot of work involved in email marketing. Email Marketers who are also Web Developers, Copywriters or Designers are rare.  You can try to find them, or set more reasonable expectations.
     
  • SOURCE INSTEAD OF SPAM. Instead of indiscriminately sending the job to everyone, practice sourcing - identify specific people and go after them. And if they're not interested, ask them for 2-3 people they'd recommend.

-- Some materials I like to share.
 
The Fine Print
  • This site does not post roles under $100k/yr or $65/hr and when a range was offered, the highest number was used here for the calculations as we're in a very tight labor market and rates still lagging compared the value an email marketing professional will generate for your organization.
  • Only base salaries were used here for even comparisons. Bonuses, restricted stock and other benefits should be evaluated when choosing between two otherwise similar offers.
  • Because all these jobs have been pitched to me personally, they tend to skew towards SFMC.
  • Not all jobs are created equal.  There's a lot of similarities, but when pricing your opening, it's good to review other roles for similarities that go beyond quick averages like this.
