Updates & News
The Twin Cairns site was updated, and you can now easily see how many times your job ad has been viewed – see below. This functionality is available only to companies that created an account with Twin Cairns and can explore job posting data through their dashboard.
We are also adding a new category – Wage Spread. Wage spread describes the percentage differences between the lowest payment for a specific job to its highest. To calculate wage spread, we are using the following formula: (Maximum pay – Minimum pay) / Minimum pay = Range spread. According to the Academy to Innovate HR, a typical wage spread for professionals/managers is 50% +. As you can see in Chart 21, has become volatile since Nov 2022 and wage spreads for all positions reach over 200%. Such volatility usually reflects significant demand for limited supply. Employer should follow this category as a proxy index of sector volatility, and employees should follow this category to gauge their ability to negotiate higher wages.

Number of Jobs Posted This Month
This area provides data about the number of jobs posts on the leading CRM job boards: Twin Cairns, ShovelBums and archaeologyfieldwork.com. We are aware that Indeed, Monster and other general job boards are used by CRM companies. However, these general job boards are generally used to manage the application process and are not where most employees first learn about a job.

The term ‘Other’ refers to jobs that do not involve field archaeology but are directly related to CRM (GIS, Lab Technician, Museum Curator, etc).

Wages
This area presents average, maximum, and minimum hourly wages offered to CRM sector employees by position and by employer types. While some employers break down upper field management to Project Managers and Principal investigators, most job posts do not include such distinction. Therefore, we aggregate both categories into one class of employees. ‘Other’ refers to positions offered by nonprofits, museums & universities.

Benefits
This area documents the percentage of jobs where employers list benefits as part of the job post. To be considered as offering benefits, the job post must include health insurance and paid days off. Some jobs offer contribution towards retirement plans (401K and similar). If this is the only benefit offered, we list such job posts as not providing benefits to employees.
It is possible that some job posts do not list but offer benefits to employees. Because benefits are not listed on such posts, these posts are tabulated as offering no benefits.
