How does Experteer ensure that the posted vacancies are up to date and of a high quality?

Discover career opportunities on Experteer that are unavailable anywhere else. We currently offer more than 1,000,000 executive and leadership positions, all above the Experteer salary benchmark.

To ensure our positions are up to date, we consistently check the status of vacancies on company career pages and compare these with our listings.

With our efficient search filters, as well as the capability to search for positions based on salary benchmarks, we enable our Premium Members to discover quality-approved and relevant positions. We employ a team of nearly 100 researchers, who analyze the quality and relevance of all published positions. To provide our users with the highest quality selection of career offerings, we update several thousand positions on our database each week.

How are the salary benchmarks calculated?

Experteer shows you salary benchmarks for the positions posted on Experteer. The salary benchmark should serve as a guide when assessing an open position.

Experteer Salary Benchmark

The Experteer Benchmark is an Experteer service that shows you the estimated market value of a specific position. It is not given by the recruiters, and it is an estimate based solely on market data.

Experteer's estimation is based on both the analysis of internal data, as well as external information. The Experteer Benchmark is the average market value at the respective level. This value may be up to 15% higher or lower in each company (greater variation may be possible in individual cases).

Recruiter Benchmark

The Recruiter Benchmark is given by the recruiter advertising the job.

The Recruiter Benchmark serves as a reference. The actual salary to be obtained however, depends on factors such as professional experience and expertise. The size and location of the company also play a role.

It may happen that the recruiter cannot disclose the financial package for a specific position, in which case the Benchmark can be set as 'confidential'.

The distinction between the Experteer Benchmark and the Recruiter Benchmark cannot be made in the logged-out area. Log in now or register and see which Benchmark applies to each job.

Membership

What is the difference between the various types of Experteer memberships?

We offer you two different types of membership:

  1. As an Experteer Basic Member you only have limited access to all of our services: You can create your profile for free, and be discovered by recruiters, but you will not be able to see which recruiters have viewed it nor respond to their contact requests. Your access to our career postings is limited to only twenty percent of our job market, and the company name and link will be concealed. Recruiters can contact you, but you only respond when recruiters provide you with a voucher.
  2. Only Experteer Premium members can take advantage of all of Experteer's features: You will have complete access to all pre-screened executive jobs - that's 5x more than with a Basic Membership. You can reply to all contact requests from recruiters, and view which recruiters have viewed your profile. Your chances of being discovered and contacted also dramatically increase: recruiters contact Premium candidates significantly more often, as they can immediately reply to and approve contact requests.
What are the notice periods?

You can cancel your Basic Membership at any time, with no deadlines or restrictions. The same applies to your Premium Membership, which you can cancel at any time during your selected subscription period. Of course, you will still have complete access to all Premium benefits until the end of the period you have booked on Experteer. After the cancellation of your Premium Membership, your account status will return to Basic Membership.

My annual salary is considerably lower than $100,000 per year. Can I register with Experteer anyway?

Experteer focuses on leading professionals with high-quality positions starting from $100,000 . As an executive career service, we pride ourselves on providing optimal customer satisfaction. This is best achieved by entering accurate personal and professional career history data.
