The Salary Source Story
Hi! My name is Denise Reicher and I built Salary Source.
I am a Compensation professional with 25 years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining compensation systems.
My expertise, and what I truly enjoy, is developing, implementing, managing and supporting compensation systems and programs.
Email me at denisereicher@yahoo.com to discuss market pricing or to say hello!
I began developing Salary Source several years ago
My goal was to provide an essential market pricing, analysis and survey management solution that everyone with Compensation responsibility could use, myself included.
- Like many HR professionals, I have felt the pain of consolidating and analyzing lots of Compensation data.
- I knew not every organization could afford a cloud-based tool, or they were not ready to send all their sensitive data to the cloud.
- I believe spreadsheets, although valuable in many instances, can only go so far when managing lots of data.
I knew I could build an application to meet everyone’s need for accuracy, speed, credibility, efficiency, flexibility, and security but still be within reach of every HR budget.
Salary Source is my passion project
It is the result of 35 years of education, experience, and professional accomplishments:
- MBA in Human Resource Management, Bentley University and a BA in Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Lowell
- Developed compensation tools as an independent consultant, the most well-known being Survey Sense
- Survey Sense was marketed and sold for 14 years. Clients ranged in size from 550-27,000 employees including: CDM Smith, Dunkin’ Donuts, FujiFilm, Harvey Industries, Houghton Mifflin, Millipore, Northeastern University, Osram Sylvania, Polaroid, Reebok, Talbots, and Tufts University
I built Salary Source for everyone
I want to make Salary Source accessible to every professional responsible for market-driven pay decisions.
Of course there are alternative solutions available; see my (biased, haha) comparison below.
