Last time I used the Hays Salary Survey I was looking at salaries for scientific and engineering staff. I found it was way too generic in the description of the roles and on the whole the salary figures they quoted were much lower than the reality of the private sector market for these people. In other words, it was useless.
For specialist staff, it can be dangerous to rely on 'benchmarks' or average salary figures, unless you know that's what your competitors are paying!
