commercial career sites, and PayScale.com, the worldís largest real-time salary source, today announced a partnership that will provide real time salary tools to Australiaís job seekers.

Continuing its commitment to providing unique and leading services to the industry, JOBX will use PayScaleís real time salary tools to produce detailed Australian-based salary reports for its users.

ìThe PayScale partnership will provide our users with unrivalled real time pay data and will ultimately allow candidates to determine how their unique skills affect payî said Richard Mar, CEO of JOBX.

The strategic relationship will offer JOBX users the ability to determine their current market value by taking the PayScaleís Salary Survey which compares their unique skill sets to individuals just like them. The PayScale Salary Survey pulls information from the PayScale dataset that includes over 10 million unique user profiles worldwide. PayScale will also provide access to innovative career tools, and compelling career management content. In the future, the companies will extend their relationship into the enterprise market where PayScale already has over 4,500 enterprise customers worldwide.

PayScale has been collecting data in Australia for several years, and unlike other salary and career sites, the company provides no incentives or contests for individuals to participate in the ongoing salary survey. To date, PayScale.com possesses over 500,000 unique user salary profiles from Australia and New Zealand. Some interesting Australia and

New Zealand data points include:

ï Most popular job titles for those who hold Bachelorís degrees were Graphic Designer, Software Engineer, Marketing Coordinator, and Accountant.

ï 17% of those reporting benefits indicated that they had a casual dress work environment.

ìThe PayScale/JOBX partnership brings each organization significant opportunities, including expanded international business relationships and an increasingly important alignment of real-time salary data with fast growing careers.

Every day many thousands of people take PayScale's salary survey to compare their pay anonymously with their peers and improve their understanding of the job market. PayScale has created the concept of anonymously comparing your salary online - in detail - to other real people with similar individual and job characteristics (e.g., location, company type and size, job, experience, education, skills, and more.) Using an advanced search and proprietary matching technology, PayScale finds a relevant peer group from their data set that matches the user-provided job information. The system allows every user's job profile to be unique and relevant to his/her different job requirements. This creates a level of accuracy that cannot be achieved with traditional methodologies and allows individuals to better understand earning potential
