Our Quarterly Compensation Report

One of the most common questions we hear as executive recruiters is simple, but never easy to answer:

“What should I be budgeting for this role?”

Compensation is rarely one-size-fits-all, especially for growth-stage SaaS companies. What you should pay depends on far more than a title. Company stage, risk tolerance, growth goals, and the type of leader you’re hiring all play a role.

Because we speak with senior leaders and executives every day, we have a real-time view into what candidates are actually asking for, not just what surveys say they should be earning. Over time, those conversations create powerful, live market insight.

One of the biggest nuances we see is the difference between up-and-coming leaders and been-there-done-that executives. Both profiles can be incredibly effective, but they come with different compensation expectations, tradeoffs, and ROI. Knowing when to invest in each, and how to budget accordingly, is critical as your team evolves.

We created this quarterly compensation report to bring clarity to those decisions and help growing companies make smarter, more confident choices as they level up their leadership teams.
