The foundation of the firm’s research is the continuous monitoring of compensation, attitudes, and workplace experiences of 123,400 IT workers at 2,257 North American employers. Foote Partners distinction in the compensation survey marketplace is its completely unique research methodology that solves the widespread problem of benchmarking pay for IT job titles that don't match what workers actually do on-the-job---a serious problem plaguing every major IT salary survey that still uses passive-survey data collection methods tied to job titles.
