Salary.com(TM) Reinforces Global Leadership Position With Expanded Management Team

Strategic Engagement and Senior Management Appointments Build on Record Participation Levels in IPAS® Survey

WALTHAM, MA–(EMWNews – August 21, 2008) – Salary.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLRY), 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
