Best free salary benchmarking data source?

How do you pick between the PHR and SHRM-CP certifications? My employer is willing to pay for either, but I don’t know what would be the better return on investment. My job is pretty secure, but with the economy the way it is, I want to be proactive about making sure I’d be employable if I lost my job.
Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start an informal discussion and learn from HR, recruitment, and hiring perspectives. In your experience, what feels most broken or inefficient in today’s hiring process? Is it application volume, resume screening, candidate fit, time-to-hire, AI-generated resumes, ghosting, or the gap between resumes and actual role needs? I’d appreciate any insights from the employer/recruiter side. Thank you!
Is anyone else concerned about job applications asking for your Social Security number upfront before an interview or offer? With identity theft and fraud being so common, it feels like this information should only be requested during hiring paperwork after an offer is made. Curious how others handle this.
Not sure if it is the best, but levels.fyi provides salary data.
Hands down it’s salary.com. They purchase data from reputable survey companies like Culpepper unlike others who just use what employees claim they make…
Thank you for the response. Salary.com is paid only though, right? Our non-profit won't budget for data. It must be free.
In that case, levels.fyi is your best bet to compare to larger companies. If you are a nonprofit, I’d assume you wouldn’t come close to some of the ranges you see on there, which tend to be in the 75+ percentile.
