When you open an Insights Pro report, every salary figure — including the per-country recommendations — comes from how the tech hiring market actually behaves on Get on Board, not from surveys or manual estimates. This article is for companies and recruiters who want to understand where those numbers come from and why you can rely on them.
Built from real candidate data
Insights Pro draws on first-party data from Get on Board: the salary expectations of tens of thousands of real tech professionals, alongside the offers behind thousands of hiring processes each year. Because this comes from active hiring — what candidates ask for and what companies pay — it reflects the current market rather than self-reported answers to an annual survey.
Country baselines are backed by hundreds of thousands of applications, which gives each estimate a solid base to stand on.
Comparable across countries
Salaries differ by seniority, and the mix of who applies differs from one country to another. To keep countries comparable, Insights Pro normalizes by seniority: each country’s figure reflects the same seniority mix, so a market isn’t skewed by whoever happens to apply in a given period. When you compare two countries side by side, you are comparing like with like.

Tailored to each role
Estimates are role-aware: they are computed for a specific role and category, not a generic “developer” average. When a particular segment has limited data, Insights Pro falls back to a broader, well-sampled baseline instead of showing a number it cannot support. You always see a figure grounded in enough evidence.
Quality-checked before you see it
Our data is checked to ensure robustness and statistical value before any figure reaches your report. Insights Pro anchors recommendations on the median and reads it alongside the standard deviation and ranges, so a few outliers do not distort the picture. For how these numbers are framed, see what is salary benchmarking.
Always current
The market moves fast, so Insights Pro recomputes its estimates every month over a rolling 12-month window. This keeps figures aligned with current conditions — including the USD-remote reality of LatAm tech — rather than last year’s market.

Consistent and reproducible
Estimates are versioned: the same inputs produce the same output, so a figure can be traced back to the data and method behind it. That keeps your reports consistent quarter over quarter and easy to defend internally.
