Increasing Starting Salary.

Companies are willing to pay a premium for top talent today, new research shows. More than half (54 percent) of chief financial officers (CFOs) interviewed for a Robert Half survey said they increased new hires' starting salaries from what they made in their previous job. The average increase, according to financial executives, was 10 percent. "Employers who want to improve their odds of securing skilled talent are offering highly attractive starting salaries right now," said Paul McDonald, senior executive director for Robert Half. "Companies are competing not just with other businesses that are hiring but also with the applicant's current employer, who may make a counteroffer to retain the services of a valued employee."
