About the startup jobs market

About the startup jobs market

Startup companies are operating with lean teams to extend runway, avoiding the bloated org charts of the 2021 era.

These startups are punching above their weight in compensation to secure talent. Startups are offering 5.0% salary increases, matching the tech average of 5.0% to compete with larger players, and hiring is steady at 28.6% (just below the 29.4% average), indicating a preference for "owner-operators" over volume hiring. Retention is a standout strength with attrition at just 14.4% (vs 18.1% tech average), proving that the tight-knit culture and autonomy of small teams remain a powerful retention tool.

In this bracket, the "Generalist" role is king; companies are paying premiums for versatile talent who can span product, ops, and marketing, rather than hiring specialists for every function.

Companies like Runna, Luminovo, Yonder, and Juro use Ravio to professionalise their compensation early, ensuring they don't accrue "compensation debt" that becomes painful to fix as they grow.
