WALTHAM, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 21, 2008 -- Salary.com, Inc. (SLRY - News), a leading provider of on-demand compensation and talent management solutions, today announced that they have expanded their management team and enlisted the services of RAF Capital LLC to enhance and grow the IPAS Global Technology Survey. With record participation for the 2008 survey season, IPAS is the leading source of global compensation data for the High Tech industry, representing over 400 companies, 75+ countries, and over two million employee records. The expanded team underscores Salary.com's commitment to provide customers with global market data and thought leadership in the human capital management field.

Robin Ferracone, chief executive officer of RAF Capital and former president of Mercer Human Capital consulting, and Steve Brink, executive vice president of RAF Capital and former global leader of Mercer's Information Product Solutions Business, lead RAF Capital. Ms. Ferracone and Mr. Brink will bring their combined 45 years of global compensation expertise and worldwide network to expand the survey by adding new participants, verticals, and capabilities. "I have been impressed with the IPAS survey for years and see exciting opportunities to continue to enhance the survey to meet the evolving needs of survey participants. IPAS has a solid and successful foundation and is the only true globally consistent survey for the High Tech industry," said Mr. Brink.

Ms. Ferracone and Mr. Brink will work closely with Lena Bottos, newly appointed vice president, data operations. Ms. Bottos has been a Salary.com team director for five years and manages the compensation team, database development, and compensation customer service. She is a Certified Compensation Professional®*, Global Remuneration Professional®* and a peer editor for WorldatWork. To enhance its survey offerings and global participants, Ms. Bottos will lead the expanded IPAS team, which includes:

 
--  Patricia Mulkeen, recently promoted to managing director of survey
    operations, will continue to oversee data analysis and customer submissions
    for the IPAS survey.
--  Mark Szypko, CCP® and director of international compensation, brings
    over 25 years experience to his role of providing global human resource
    insights and trends for technology companies, including Comcast,
    Lightbridge, Inc., Progress Software, and most recently Nuance
    Communications.
--  Michelle Rock, director of global development and marketing, is
    responsible for marketing and sales support for the IPAS product. Ms. Rock
    will organize the customer advisory council and client events.

The combined leadership will work together to streamline data collection to further simplify client submissions and manage survey operations to ensure timely and effective service for customers. In anticipation of the release of the new IPAS technology platform this winter, the team will be forming an advisory panel to research the needs of the IPAS client community, including services, content, and new value-added features. The team will drive innovation and thought leadership in the area of global compensation. Tangible benefits clients can expect to receive include expansion of participation, positions covered, locations surveyed, and the development of relevant content to improve customers' knowledge of the regions in which they operate.

"Salary.com is continuing to invest heavily in the IPAS Global survey, which has grown by over 30% in the past year. I have confidence in the leadership and expertise that Lena Bottos and Patricia Mulkeen bring to Salary.com clients. As the survey continues to experience rapid growth in participation, we are excited to expand the available pool of compensation analysts, senior professionals and technologists that will be providing service to our customers. We are equally excited to have Robin and Steve work with the team and our customers to add their unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by the largest global employers and to help guide the roadmap for the IPAS offering to best meet those needs now and in the future," said Kent Plunkett, CCP® and chief executive officer of Salary.com.
