Question 7

Where do these engineering pay figures come from?

Accepted Answer

They come from placements Dovetail & Slate actually made in the last 24 months, not advertised figures and not a survey. Hourly and daily figures are the charge rate an employer pays the agency, which includes the worker's pay, on-costs and margin. Permanent figures are the salary itself, because a permanent placement has no charge rate. A group is only published where at least five placements sit behind it, and sample sizes are shown as bands rather than exact counts.
