Ever wondered how much other health IT professionals are earning when searching for a new role? The obvious option of using Glassdoor generally falls short when trying to gain accurate salary data for health IT related jobs. To help provider greater insights for health IT professionals, HealthITJobs.com has launched a new real-time salary tool that allows health IT professionals to compare their salaries with industry averages. Salary data is collected from participating HealthITJobs.com members, and the database grows with each new user – making the results increasingly accurate.
To use the tool, members create a salary profile by answering six simple questions (membership to HealthITJobs.com is free). The tool then compares their responses with data from other members. Users can update their profiles every 12 months.
Key features of the HealthITJobs.com Salary Tool include:
- HealthITJobs.com members have full access to the salary tool. Members can view average health IT salaries by job title, location and more.
- Using the tool is quick and easy. To get started, HealthITJobs.com members can create a salary profile by answering 6 simple questions. The tool then compares their responses with data from other members. Users can update their profiles every 12 months.
- The salary tool allows users to analyze their salary by multiple factors.Members can look at their overall salary ranking, average salary by experience, by organization, by location, and by job function.
- Knowledge gives health IT job seekers power. With a better understanding of standard salaries in the industry, health IT professionals have a significant advantage when navigating the many opportunities available in the field.
‘With the current skills gap in health IT, our members are faced with more and more opportunities,” Cannon said. “We hope the salary tool will make finding and selecting the right job for our members easier than ever.”
Currently, the tool is only available to registered candidates, but HealthITJobs.com is working on an employer version of the tool which will allow hiring managers to access the information.
