A Comprehensive User Guide
Why the CBR?
The Compensation Benchmark Review is AgCareers.com’s exclusive online salary survey tool. Along with our job board and talent recruitment resources, AgCareers.com has acquired a wealth of knowledge and familiarity with benchmarking standard and unique industry positions. This innovative offering is designed specifically for ag and food companies as a custom built resource driven by its own participants for ten years and counting.
The “CBR” as it is often referred, provides meaningful salary and benefits data on a wide array of positions. Data is available in multiple reporting formats to easily benchmark and compare compensation. Over 150 North American companies, both large and small, utilize the survey annually to recruit and retain talent.
What is the timeline for collection of salary information?
For our U.S. clients, data collection begins in May, data is due June 1st. The updated reports are released within the survey database in September.
How is my company information submitted?
Clients are sent a standardized data collection form via Excel to capture the components contributing to the compensation package of each employee. That information is then audited, validated and uploaded via the online database.
What type of employee data must I provide?
AgCareers.com collects data for a number of benefits and variables per employee, but only require the following:
• Client Position Title• Location - State• Location - City or Rural• Base Salary• Performance Pay - Bonus / Incentive
Can other companies see my salary information?
All data is confidential. Every effort is made to ensure that the salary tables protect the confidentiality of contributor data and are statistically meaningful. A minimum number of cases (typically five) are assigned for each position. Some positions have been omitted because of the small sample size. Where the number of cases recorded equals the minimum, publishing is restricted to the median and average values only. The CBR is only available to those that supply data thus enhancing the resource’s integrity and credibility.
Which positions are available for benchmarking?
Every year over 90,000 U.S. employees are reported to AgCareers.com for salary benchmarking. A total of 230+ positions are available in the U.S. database. See the positions page for more details.
FAQ
What is the methodology for the Compensation Benchmark Review?
The survey is conducted via direct exchange with clients (employee representatives, typically HR or senior management of subscribed companies). Compensation and benefit data for all current employees is provided to AgCareers.com. The data is employee record level – not averaged across employees for a given role – but employee by employee. We confirm that the salary data our clients report to us are not “outlying”; i.e., outside of the standard role range. Employees whom we identify as outliers are excluded from survey reports.
We work collectively with our clients in job mapping. We give clients our position descriptions so that they may identify key accountabilities for mapping their jobs to our standard position lists. We then review these matches to ensure that each role is a fit to our standard position, by accountability, duty, responsibility, reporting level, education requirement, and other relevant factors. We often ask clients to give us their own position descriptions and then have phone conversations and/or email correspondence with them in order to discuss these details before we finalize job mapping.
What demographic breakouts are included within the CBR?
Clients can focus on general ag and food trends or sector specific breakouts such as Ag Chem/Seed/Fertilizer, Commodities/Biofuels/Feed, Cooperatives/Ag Retail, Production/Processing, Produce/Farming, Equipment/Technical and many more.
Information is also reported geographically by location (regional and state), city vs. rural, and company size (both annual revenue and number of employees).
How do I access the results of the CBR?
The online format ensures that data is accessible year-round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For those with Full Access or Limited Access subscriptions, they may access information for a 12 full months following a signed agreement. Basic Reports subscribers (no online database access) are simply emailed electronic PDFs of the Standard Reports, for only the positions contributed to the survey.
How do I know which subscription level is right for me?
See the pricing page for more details.
How many people can use a subscription?
There is no limit on the number of users that may have access to the CBR per company subscription. As a security measure, AgCareers.com request that each unique user be issued a personalized login for tracking and easy deactivation purposes.
Can I request training for more information on how to use the CBR?
Our customer care staff provide complimentary training, on-going customer support, and customized reporting per request (with approved subscription level). Simply contact [email protected] for more information.

Reports can also be easily exported to Excel as needed. For those choosing the Basic Reports subscription (no online database access), electronic PDFs of the Standard Reports are simply emailed to the client.
Subscription Length - All subscriptions are available for a full year, from date of signed agreement. Clients have a full year to utilize their subscription to the Compensation Benchmark Review.
