A calibrated market model
For roles and countries with few postings, we use a model fitted to posted ranges. It never sits below the market median and every estimate is labelled as one. Read the method.
Roles we have open
Current openings for your role and country, each with pay. If there are none today, the report says so and tells you when to look again.

Common questions
Does it cost anything?
No. The pay report is free and always will be for talent. Employers pay PassRidge, so we never charge a tester for a report, a profile or an introduction.
What will I get, and when?
One email within one working day. It has the low, median and high pay for your role, level and country, the tools that lift the number, and every open role that fits with its pay range. You see a first snapshot on this page before you give us your email.
Where does the pay data come from?
From pay ranges that employers publish on their own postings (487 of the 4,012 roles we track carry an employer-published yearly range), and from a market model we calibrate against those ranges. Where a figure is an estimate, the report labels it as one.
Will a recruiter call me?
No. We email you only. A talent partner writes to you after you reply to a specific role, and nothing goes to an employer without your written OK.
Is this a job application?
No. It is a pay report. If a role fits, you reply with one click and only then does a talent partner start a conversation. If you want a person to work your search for you, you can ask for a personal recruiter on its own page, also free.
Why is it free?
Because companies pay us to find QA people, and a tester who knows the market is easier to match well. The report is how we introduce ourselves, not how we earn.
Can I choose another role or country?
Yes. Change the role, level or country in the form to see a new snapshot, and tick the monthly box if you want a fresh report every month. You can also ask for a second report for another country.
