"The Equilar Total Compensation Report has been a great resource for us in assessing the market for jobs that are below what is disclosed in proxies, but above what many of our published salary surveys cover. The presentation-ready reports created in Excel are impressive. In addition, our Account Manager has been there for us when we have needed help capturing the more difficult data cuts."
