Actually I think it is more likely that they gather these statistics from job seekers when they ask your current salary, etc.

Yes you are right, they mainly do a simple excel download from what the agents enter in the recruitment system. Sometimes they arbitrarily make "adjustments" to the numbers to suit whatever their marketing agenda is.
I know I come off sounding bitter like got axe to grind with them, this is because I was involved in doing such a report for a famous MNC recruitment agency 2 years ago and saw the blatant disregard to data and analysis integrity.
Anyone who has some statistics or pricing background will bulk at the kind of primary school way they do the thing. The whole report is a marketing compaign meant to pyscho people to leave their jobs (professionally in the industry we call it "warming the market") and more importantly to generate press release so that hopefully they can get interviews in news channels, radio shows, business forums etc.
The whole methodology is just so flawed & childish that there is no way a layman job seeker can get anything meaningful out of it other than a general sense that you can get "higher pay somewhere else".
