Bridging the Gender Pay Gap: The Story of TechSalaries

The Genesis of TechSalaries

Two years ago, the seeds of change were planted by a simple yet powerful initiative: a Google sheet documenting the salaries of female employees. This was more than just a spreadsheet; it was a statement against the persistent gender pay discrepancies in the tech sector. Recognizing the need for a more robust solution, TechSalaries (techsalaries.com.au) was born.

TechSalaries emerged as a beacon of hope, aiming to create a transparent ecosystem where recruitment owners and businesses could unite to make a difference, one salary at a time. The platform’s mission is clear: to provide real-time salary data and insights across Australia, thereby empowering individuals and promoting workplace equality.

TechSalaries is not just a platform; it’s a movement. It allows users to:

  • Search: Access dynamic salaries, surveys, and perks anytime, providing a comprehensive view of the current job market.
  • Contribute: A collaborative space where recruitment companies can promote transparency and cooperation.
  • Discover: The only platform offering real-time salary data recorded by recruitment companies, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.

Recent Developments and Future Plans

TechSalaries continues to evolve with exciting updates and innovative features:

  • New Partnerships: Collaborations with PureTech Talent Australia, Hyre, and Latitude IT, all sharing the vision of a fairer world for women in tech.
