Hiring in 2025 Needs a Paycheck Reality Check

In today’s hyper-competitive Indian startup ecosystem, hiring the right talent is only half the job — retaining them requires offering competitive compensation. But how do you know if your offer aligns with the market?

Traditional benchmarking is slow, outdated, and scattered across multiple sources. That's why forward-thinking recruiters are turning to Paycheck by Spotted AI — a simple, intelligent, real-time salary benchmarking tool built just for Indian hiring teams.

The Problem: Guesswork Has No Place in Modern Hiring

Let’s be honest — many recruiters and founders are still using outdated spreadsheets, Naukri salary filters, or anecdotal insights to determine salary offers. The result?

Overpaying freshers while underpaying experienced talent
Losing top candidates to better offers from competitors
Time wasted on back-and-forth negotiations

This isn’t scalable — especially when you're hiring for 10+ roles across multiple cities.

The Solution: Paycheck by Spotted AI

Role
City (yes, salaries vary between Pune, Delhi, Bangalore)
