How Datapizza enhanced its Benchmark on Tech Salaries with certified Openapi data

Datapizza, the largest Italian community of Data science and Artificial Intelligence enthusiasts, was founded in 2022 with a major goal: to make Italy competitive in tech.

From the beginning, co-founders Pierpaolo D’Odorico and Alessandro Risaro aimed to create an open space for all those interested in digital and AI, believing that growth and innovation cannot occur without an exchange of ideas and without clear and transparent communication. Transparency is a central theme in Datapizza's activities and is a key element in the project we want to discuss, which saw the collaboration of Openapi.

We are talking about the Benchmark on Tech Salaries in Italy, the new version of Datapizza’s tool that helps tech talents discover the actual salary situation in Italy for their profession. The topic of salaries remains a taboo for many Italian companies, which choose not to disclose salary ranges (RAL) and contract conditions during the interview process. The benchmark aims to overcome this mentality by making salary data public based on various factors such as job title, years of experience, company size, location, and working mode, thereby providing a complete overview of the labor market.

But how did Openapi contribute to this project?

The answer lies in the data provided by our APIs. In fact, Datapizza chose to rely on Company, our powerful commercial information API, capable of providing more than 1.000 quality, official, and certified data points about Italian and European companies.

In particular, it utilized:

• AUTOCOMPLETE: for verifying and validating company names
• ADVANCED: for accessing specific information, such as the number of employees in a company

The integration of Openapi’s services proved extremely useful, as it allowed for the enrichment of the data available through the Benchmark, offering detailed information, starting from the number of employees mentioned above.

This made it possible to conduct more in-depth analyses of the current employment situation in the tech field, making the tool even more innovative and indispensable for those operating in this sector.

The release of the benchmark has been highly successful and recorded exceptional results since its publication. Approximately 5.000 people visited the Datapizza website on launch day, while the reel posted on Instagram reached over 407.000 views. Additionally, the carousel on Instagram generated 103.000 impressions, and the one on LinkedIn garnered 98.000. These results testify to the interest and effectiveness of the project, where data quality truly made a difference.

The collaboration between Openapi and Datapizza does not end here. In the future, Datapizza plans to integrate additional services from the API Company and, in particular, to further leverage the "data_enrichment advanced" option to enhance the tool and achieve an even deeper level of analysis that meets the needs of those looking for comprehensive information on the current state of the labor market in Italy.
