Welcome to the Sigmar Recruitment Salary Guide 2016
After five years of steady growth, Sigmar has seen demand
levels in most professional sectors nearly reaching prerecession highs in 2015.
Ireland has maintained competitiveness over the last
few years, resulting in increasing overseas investment
and as long as we stay competitive, this bodes well for
some years to come. The improved job landscape in
Ireland certainly fed through to macro-economic figures
and unemployment levels. Whilst Ireland’s strong growth
is subject to national or international shocks, there is
no reason that Ireland can’t get unemployment back to
record low levels. But maintaining the discipline to stay
competitive is key to this and politically that is a challenge.
open on the hard skills of applicants, but more selective on
cultural fit and attitude of all candidates. This is evidenced
in major focus on employer branding and, in particular,
companies’ CSR initiatives being at their core.
Finally an interesting phenomenon in 2015 was that
permanent recruitment grew faster than contract and
temporary recruitment. As national and global recovery
was a little tentative, organisations were still a little risk
adverse, and would take on a contractor if they could
rather than a permanent member of staff. As the rate
of recovery increases and confidence is restored, more
companies are comfortable increasing headcount long
term.
In terms of specific skills in demand, analytics has risen
to be the most wanted. Analytics encapsulates other
skills and is featured in all sectors, but vacancies for data
scientists, analysts, big data, risk, etc. have risen sharply.
The other current trend, as the global “war for talent”
heats up, is the continued focus on culture and purpose
from hiring companies. Many organisations are investing
more in training and development, so may be a little more

Salaries in 2016
Salaries will continue to grow by 5-10%
in the financial services sector in 2016.
Additional salary growth of around 10%
is likely to be witnessed during the year
in the contracts area as the volume
of workers available for contracts or
temporary positions continues to be
reduced dramatically due to the increase
in permanent jobs available.

Financial Services
“More growth expected in 2016 than any
year since the crash.”
The financial services accountancy jobs market progressed
from recovery mode in 2015, a trend which is set to continue.
There has been a significant increase in qualified and part
qualified accounting jobs across the financial services sector.
The larger financial services companies are now recruiting for
multiple permanent positions within their finance departments
simultaneously. This is a clear indicator of the shift towards
hiring for the long-term rather than tentatively offering only
fixed-term contracts.
Job opportunities in the financial services accountancy market
will continue to grow in 2016. In addition to the new positions
being created, the turnover in the market is much higher
than it has been in recent years due to returning confidence.
Accountants at all levels are much more willing to take the
calculated risk of moving jobs in order to further their careers.
Top Tip For 2016
Upskilling, no matter how minimal, will increase your worth in
the financial services accountancy market. This could be done
by undertaking an IFRS course or by widening your knowledge
within a specific area within financial services.

Salaries in 2016
We predict around a 5-7% increase
in accountancy salaries in the area of
commerce and industry within 2016. Some
roles may even exceed a 7% increase due
to supply and demand issues that will be
experienced.
Industry & Commerce
“2016 is trending for further growth and
employment for finance professionals in
the commerce and industry space.”
The industry accountancy market at present is vibrant and
there is a growing sense of confidence from employers and
candidates alike. Every month there are increased numbers
of multinationals choosing Ireland as their European or EMEA
base due to key factors such as our highly skilled workforce and
tax efficient operating environment. This creates numerous
opportunities for finance professionals driving competition for
top talent and pushing up salaries in the market.
The most sought after roles at present as we move into 2016
are commercial, group accounting and analyst positions. These
jobs allow finance professionals to have contact with different
departments outside of accountancy and thus offers them a
greater overview of the business as a whole. Whilst there is
a high demand for these positions, finding someone with the
experience and the industry knowledge is a tough task and
salaries are increasing all of the time because of this.
With numerous US multinationals and global companies
setting up their EMEA bases here in Ireland, there is an
increased demand for all types of finance professionals. In
addition to accounting skills and experience, companies look to
hire people who can have an impact on their progression and
growth. Culture fit is something which is becoming more and
more important, especially within recently created companies
that are growing quickly.
Top Tip For 2016
Learn a second European language or at least develop your
basic understanding of a language. Accountants with French,
German or Dutch are always in high demand and having this
skill will make you more employable within the industry sector.

Practice
“Salaries in practice rising in 2016 to
retain skills.”
The accountancy practice market continued to expand in 2015,
a trend that we see continuing. Whilst the Big 4 and Top 10
firms have been recruiting at noticeable levels for a number of
years, 2015 saw a significant resurgence of small and medium
accounting firms hiring again. There is no doubt that this will
continue throughout 2016.
During 2016 there will be a continued demand for experienced
auditors, tax consultants and accounting advisors. This will
not decrease due to the demands from the client base of
the accounting firms. What will change however will be the
salaries offered in practice as the firms battle to attract and
retain talent. There is both a threat from rival firms and jobs in
industry tempting the practice workforce away from the sector.
Salaries in 2016
Excluding the trainee level which is
influenced by training contracts, we expect
qualified accountants across the major
practice functions to experience salary
growth of around 5-7% in 2016. Senior
level candidates may experience a bigger
shift in market rates due to the limited
supply of highly experienced practice
accountants available.
Top Tip For 2016
In addition to detailing your academic achievements on
your CV, we strongly recommend that you detail all client
engagements with information on client turnover or specific
client responsibilities that you undertook. This will help you
sell yourself to potential employers and allow them to picture
you working for them.

“Going into 2016, it looks likely that
the gloves will come off as financial
services organisations will once again
compete to attract, recruit and retain
talent as an ongoing demand for highly
skilled candidates simply outweighs
supply.”
Top Tip For 2016
Salaries in 2016
Salaries are predicted to increase
modestly across financial services in 2016.
Companies have introduced innovative
ways to attract and retain talent including
offering part-time positions (even in
funds), opening satellite offices and
increasing benefit portfolios.
In order to adapt to the increasingly changeable financial
services landscape progressive candidates will need to
invest in themselves through education to attain relevant
certifications in order to broaden their career options.
Whether that’s going back to do a quantitative or IT focused
masters, working towards PMP certification or other
industry standard qualifications – further education and
certification will play a huge part in determining candidate
employability success.

Thoughts on the Market
2016
We approached 2015 with huge optimism and the year
did not disappoint as the banking and financial services
industry as a whole in Ireland moved from a period of
recovery to one of growth.
It was the year in which the government launched
the International Financial Services Strategy to create
10,000 new jobs in the sector by 2020 and now
with over 200 Irish owned and a further 200 foreign
multinational IFS companies across banking, funds,
asset management, aircraft leasing, insurance and
re-insurance based here in Ireland, the sector is now
recognised as operating at the highest level on the
global financial services stage.
Confidence within the industry has grown significantly
in the last year with a plethora of company expansions
and even start-ups establishing operations here. Overall
2015 was a very positive year for financial services but
will that change in 2016?
The outlook is that the market supply of talent will
continue tightening in 2016. The good news for
candidates is that they will have multiple offers and
counter offers to think over but it presents a huge
challenge for businesses who want to hold on to
and expand their teams further. In order to meet
these challenges head on businesses will need to
truly understand the motivations of talent for both
recruitment and retention purposes. Looking into work
life balance, career advancement and location for talent
will be as or even more important than remuneration.
There has been a significant increase in roles requiring
candidates to work shift hours either early mornings or
late evenings in order to accommodate various financial
markets. This trend looks set to continue into 2016 and
the challenge will be to educate the talent market on
the value proposition of working non-traditional hours.

Interim talent solutions such as offering contracts
and temporary assignments will continue to be an
effective way for organisations to fulfil many of their
variable requirements as the market for permanent
talent sets to tighten in 2016.
Probably the biggest challenge ahead for 2016
onwards in financial services will be the one presented
by the emergence of FinTech into the market place.
Something significant has been happening at the
intersection of finance and technology in the last year
which quite literally could change the entire face of
the financial services landscape. Going into 2016 there
are already 30 Irish start-ups operating in various
areas of FinTech and the expectation is that this will
multiply. Silicon Valley is truly taking on Wall Street in
what could prove to be an epic battle and the effects
of this will no doubt be seen in the financial services
industry in Ireland throughout 2016 and onwards.
Attracting top graduates in 2016 to large financial
services institutions as opposed to smaller global
technology companies working in the financial
services space may prove an interesting challenge
for the industry. Retaining talent in financial services
as opposed to losing them to FinTech may become
an even greater headache. It will be interesting to
see how financial services companies adapt to the
inevitable impact of FinTech.
On a final note while we all want to look to 2016 with
optimism for the financial services market in Ireland,
it is important to keep in mind that the impact of
announcements in the latter half of 2015 of global
job culls by some of the larger financial services
institutions has yet to be seen on our shores. One
thing for sure is that 2016 will be a very interesting
year.

There has been an increasing demand for candidates within the securities industry to work shift
hours to cover various worldwide markets and there are still large variances on how organisations
remunerate employees for working shift patterns. Shift bonuses, less traffic on the commute,
and little overtime demands are some of the other perks of working irregular shifts.

More than any other industry, banking is still experiencing the effects of the last 8 years. Many
institutions are still working through redundancies and tidying up impaired loan books which
have ongoing consequences for staff numbers. Although there is some hiring it is not yet in
large numbers and roles are at middle and junior brackets rather than at senior level where
opportunities are still scarce.

Salaries in 2016
Salaries for all construction positions
should rise, although some at a moderate
rate. Quantity surveyors and design
engineers with 4-5 years’ experience are
likely to see pronounced rises due to
demand and supply at this level.
Top Tips For 2016
For junior engineers, excellent MS Excel, MS Project and
Primavera skills are all seen as very relevant whether you
are looking at project management, planning or quantity
surveying. Also companies increasingly appreciate candidates
who understand programmes, commercial aspects and how
projects fit together in a practical way.
For graduates or ex-tradespeople looking to become more
involved in engineering/project management, pursue third
level education to the highest level to give yourself more
options (i.e. a level 8 engineering degree will give more
options than an ordinary degree/diploma). Most contractors
who are now hiring express a preference for degree level.
17
2016
At present, the construction market looks in an
increasingly healthy state compared to the significant
fall off in activity at the end of the last decade. There
is an increased level of activity in both the commercial
and residential building sectors, with both larger and
medium sized companies benefiting. We are seeing
both design and site professionals in demand and the
increased level of jobs has also had a positive effect
on opportunities for tradespeople such as carpenters
and electricians. The upsurge in activity has meant
that contracting and consulting companies are facing
challenges however in attracting staff in certain areas,
particularly intermediate (3-5 years’ experience) level
engineers and surveyors, as many in this bracket
relocated to the UK or further afield in countries such
as Australia.

Certainly more jobseekers who emigrated are starting
to look at Ireland closely again, and Sigmar were able to
successfully place several candidates relocating back
to Ireland in 2015. However despite salary increases
in Ireland, salary levels in the UK plus exchange rate
differentials provide significant competition.

“Off the back of an encouraging 2015
where a number of companies set
expansion plans in place, the outlook for
2016 is very positive and will certainly
continue and possibly out-strip 2015
for demand for talent. Degree qualified
professionals are more in demand
with particular focus on process
engineering, production engineering
and automation engineering.”
Salaries in 2016
Top Tip For 2016
Overall salaries have stayed on par
with last year. We would expect this to
continue with two exceptions: automation
engineers and process engineers which
have each risen around 10% across all
experience levels.
Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) are in vogue and have become
the cornerstone of good manufacturing processes in
pharmaceutical, medical device and automotive companies.
Indigenous Irish manufacturing embraced LSS over the past
three years but the available talent in this area is limited,
therefore gaining Lean and Six Sigma green or black belt
qualification gives candidates an strong edge when applying
for jobs.
20
2016
Indigenous manufacturing has been slower to catch
the “growth” bug than pharmaceutical or medical
device companies, however 2015 saw change with
traditional manufacturing engaging in or planning for
long term growth. Many companies who downsized
between 2008-2013 are now seeing increased new
roles in production, maintenance, operations, quality
and R&D.
In food manufacturing for agri-business the beef trade
agreement with the USA and the abolition of milk quotas
have facilitated, and will continue to facilitate, growth
in the sector. According to the Food & Drinks Industry
(FDI) website this food category is responsible, directly
and indirectly, for 230,000 jobs and €26bn in turnover.
This level of activity has increased competition and
companies are responding by growing their science
functions to understand how better to maximise the
benefits of their ingredient to the final product. The
outcomes of this research and development should
lead to greater production and in turn new capital
projects needing new employees in 2016.
Heavier engineering companies are receiving new
orders for bespoke parts. Renewable engineering
companies, in particular, are looking at ways to
improve their equipment for efficiency reasons and
use specialists (Irish bespoke engineering companies)
to help with such changes. This has led to a pick-up of
over 200% in R&D and mechanical design engineers.
Integrating said products with automated solutions is
driving the demand for skilled SCADA and PLC design
engineers and the market is still struggling to marry
demand with supply but good inroads are being made.
Overall the evidence of the improving market of 2015
indicates a strong demand for talent in 2016 across all
engineering disciplines.
+353 1 4744600.
In the non-agri food sector in 2015 the focus was on
lean transformation and continuous improvement
projects to allow for greater yield across the business.
Where companies are continuing these processes,
results are very positive. Companies from bakery and
food services are growing off the back of these changes
with a few new builds for expansion being announced
in 2016.

Salaries in 2016
Top Tip For 2016
There has not been any dramatic changes
to the salaries being offered. Typically for
HR roles the technology companies pay the
highest salaries with candidates with 1 years +
experience able to demand €35k upwards.
Gaining multi-industry or multi-regional experience will
mean that you have more marketable experience when you
do look for a move or promotion.
23
2016
2015 has been an exciting year for HR with movement
at its highest level since 2009. In the past year we have
seen increase in demand for talent acquisition roles
and HRIS analytical roles indicating two big trends –
growth and retention.
We have experienced significant growth in the area of
HRIS or HR analytics with more organisations realising
the true value of deciphering their own information to
assist with insight driven decision making. Candidates
in these areas are highly sought after and it is the area
where we have seen the largest increase in salary
levels, up to 20% in some cases. This is set to continue
throughout 2016.
Sigmar has seen record numbers of new start-up
FDI firms coming to Ireland with requirements for
senior HR staff. The most sought after background for
these companies is candidates working within global
environments with large matrix reporting structures,
talent development, employee engagement and talent
acquisition. With today’s workforce being more agile
than ever, companies starting up in the market need
experienced HR staff to attract talent and keep it.
Training and development has also seen healthy activity
with roles developing from traditional instructor-based
training to more blended e-learning solutions with
increased accreditation of internal courses by external
bodies.
Primary growth sectors for HR are within financial
services, manufacturing, retail and technology. Demand
for specialist HR roles have seen the largest increase
with HR business partner and HR management roles
remaining largely consistent. We have seen some rise
in HR director level roles with typical processes taking
up to 6 months from start to finish.
HR in the regions has seen some growth but not on
the same scale as the Dublin region. HR professionals
with experience in MNCs and working with very
diverse/multi-cultural workforces are the most sought
after. The regions are also experiencing a demand for
contract recruitment roles.
Typically for HR roles the technology companies pay
the highest salaries with candidates with more than
1 years experience able to demand €35,000 upwards.
However securing a job within one of these prestigious
companies is no easy feat with candidates expected to
go through extensive rounds of interview.
The graduate space is very competitive and as a
candidate it can be very hard to break into without
completing some sort of internship or gaining work
experience first. Candidates with a HR degree and
less than 2 years experience might expect anywhere
between €20,000 and €28,000 depending on where
they are in the country.
Senior level salaries are starting to recover having
taken a hit in recent years. For management level roles
we have seen salaries rise by €10,000 – €20,000 over
the last year. Most importantly candidates are gaining
in confidence and are more likely to demand a higher
salary for a new role then accept whatever is on offer.
At senior manager/director level there are certainly
more vacancies then last year but the market is
candidate rich so the companies have their pick of
candidates for these roles. Typically the more senior
the role the less urgency the company have with these
processes, which are regularly being drawn out over a
number of months.
2016 is set to be a great year for the HR manager.
Salaries are on the increase again along with benefit
packages. Flexible working arrangements are
becoming more common as people are living further
away or returning from maternity leave.

“We are seeing continued,
steady improvements in the Irish
insurance market. A more stable
economic platform has provided
brokers, insurers, SMEs and larger
organisations the opportunity to
consolidate and grow their business
for the first time in a number of
years.”
Top Tip For 2016
Salaries in 2016
In order to attract top talent in the market,
businesses have offered between a 4%
and 8% increase on basic salaries along
with very competitive bonus and benefits
packages.
The demand for relevant professional accreditations has
remained high due to the increase in regulation within
the industry. For customer-facing roles the APA is a
minimum requirement with many employers favouring
candidates with the CIP. More advanced qualifications
such as the DLDU in the life assurance space and ACII
in general insurance are becoming core requirements
for more senior level positions. We envisage this trend
continuing into 2016.
.
26
2016
Pension Admin - Within the life assurance market there
has been a significant increase in demand for pension
administrators and consultants, particularly with
the larger brokers in the market. Specifically pension
administrators with end-to-end experience in either DB
or DC schemes are being highly sought after. With the
phase-out of many defined benefit schemes, there has
been higher demand for individuals specific to this.
Underwriting - Medical underwriters, especially
with ACII and DLDU qualifications, have been in high
demand with leading players in the market. There has
been flexibility in terms of roles offered on a part-time
basis in order to attract talent.
Business Admin - There has been steady demand
for high quality administrators to deal with new and
existing business. Many of these roles have been offered
on a contract basis with the view of permanency upon
completion.
Claims - We are now seeing a closer shift towards
the equilibrium of the supply and demand of claims
professionals. Some of the larger insurance firms are
growing their claims teams with a marked requirement
for technical claims specialists.
Actuaries - As always both qualified and part-qualified
actuary candidates are in high demand. Apart from the
general and life assurance businesses we have seen
strong demand for qualified actuaries with consultancy
organisations who are continuing to build their actuarial
service offering. This is a trend we expect to continue
throughout 2016.
Data Analytics - Data analytics and data management
has become a significant feature for insurance
businesses in 2015. The insights which can be gained
and business decisions made from having mechanisms
to extract data, can no longer be overlooked.
There has been a significant increase in demand for
individuals with mathematical/computer science
backgrounds capable of extracting data, working with it
and putting it into report form for management review.
We see this as a major growth area for 2016.
Underwriting - Demand for underwriters across
commercial and personal lines has remained steady.
Brokers - There has been an increased demand for
strong broker development candidates, keeping
in line with the resurgence of the broker market.
Individuals with strong account management and
sales experience have seen a steady increase in
opportunities available. With many brokers growing
their head counts for the first time in a number of
years, they are looking for candidates who can spot
opportunity and help develop business. Individuals
with a proven track record of this have been found
to command higher salaries. Heaviest demand has
been placed on commercial account execs from both
international and SME brokers.
Reinsurance - The majority of positions that are arising
within reinsurance are either on the quantitative
side or account management. We have also seen an
increase in mid-level underwriting positions.

“Ireland will continue to lead from the
front for IT in Europe in 2016. In the last
three years over 17,500 jobs have been
announced by technology companies
and the sector is responsible for 40%
of our national exports (€72 billion per
annum).”
Salaries in 2016
We have seen an overall uplift for the
salaries in the IT sector, with disciplines
such as Scala developer, Python developer,
Java developer, UX designer and mobile
developer in particular seeing an increase.
Other disciplines experiencing increases
to a slightly lesser extent include software
development manager, database
developer/DBA and QA managers/senior
QAs.
Top Tip For 2016
Ensure your CV is written clearly and concisely and appeals to
both a technical hiring manager as well as a non-technical HR
team. Don’t forget to add in relevant projects outside the work
environment as this shows a genuine interest in that area.

2016
2015 was an exciting year for the ICT market in Ireland,
with further growth across all verticals and investment
in ICT teams across companies of all sizes from
multinationals to SMEs, and in both indigenous and
international start-ups relocating to Ireland. This looks
set to continue in 2016 with over 85% of employers
surveyed expecting to invest further in IT expertise.
Within the Irish context the IT sector is one of the
main areas of employment growth, with competition
for skilled and experienced candidates very strong.
Candidates from all over Europe are recognising Ireland
more and more as an IT hub, attracting talent from
Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Hungary, Croatia and
further afield.
With Dublin now a major centre in Europe for global
tech companies this has driven a growth of start-ups
developing innovative solutions and apps. Small and
medium sized ICT companies are also performing
extremely well.
Given Ireland’s location, companies often base
infrastructure teams in Ireland to provide support
globally also.
The sector continues to embrace new technologies
quickly, and we expect to see further activity in cloud,
mobile, big data and virtualisation.
Companies based in Ireland have evolved and adapted
to an ever more globalised marketplace for their
products, with web-based services an area of major
growth. As a result there remains a skills shortage in
Ireland for software developers in particular, with
Java, .NET, Python, Ruby on Rails and Scala. Roles with
a crossover of this knowledge, aligned with strong
business skills, continue to increase in popularity also.

Salaries in 2016
Although salaries did not increase
significantly in 2015, work life
balance, bonus and benefits became a
stronger feature of total remuneration
when candidates were considering
opportunities. A significant trend
emerging towards the latter half of 2015
was a growth in counter-offers, which are
likely to drive salaries up in 2016.
Top Tip For 2016
Get qualified – otherwise you will hit
a glass ceiling in terms of professional
development.
“We have witnessed a sustained increase
in demand across in house and practice as
confidence has improved and companies
start to grow.”
2015 was a positive year for the legal industry with areas such
as funds, corporate banking, commercial property and IP being
at the core of this. Salary levels improved for mid-senior level
appointments during 2015 and with demand increasing across
certain sectors such as technology and IP we can expect further
improvements in 2016.
We witnessed a sustained increase in demand across private
practice and in-house throughout the year as confidence
returned to the market. This allowed legal professionals with
specialist skill sets to secure new roles across a number of
different sectors. As the market improved, so did competition
for high-calibre candidates, with sign-on bonuses and counteroffers featuring regularly throughout 2015.
Throughout the year, professionals with one to five years’ postqualified experience were highly sought-after in a number of
areas, including funds and regulation, banking, commercial
property and commercial litigation. Those with backgrounds
in corporate law and mergers and acquisitions were also in
demand, while Central Bank of Ireland regulations stimulated
demand for in-house lawyers within financial services. We also
witnessed a return to hiring within listings.
38
In house
There was an increased demand for legal professionals
for in-house roles, with organisations seeing the
commercial benefit of bulking up their in-house
legal team. The financial services sector in particular
accounted for the majority of demand. Funds lawyers
and commercial contracts solicitors were highly sought
after and across all industries there was an increase in
demand for compliance professionals. These trends
look set to continue throughout 2016.
Mergers and acquisitions are going strong in the current
market and demand for lawyers with skills in this area
will be strong in 2016.
We have seen a huge increase in the demand for
contract solicitors across all the major industries and
for short term high level expertise. Hiring managers are
advised to maintain momentum within the recruitment
process in order to secure top talent.
Practice
2015 saw further improvements within practice. The
returning confidence in the Irish market resulted in
increased hiring, particularly within the Big 10 law
firms for both solicitors and company secretaries.
While solicitors with litigation and banking experience
remained in strong demand, a welcome return to the
market is the demand for solicitors with property and
conveyancing experience. We expect this to continue
in 2016, along with further demand for those with
technology and IP experience.
These improvements in outlook bode well for newly
qualified solicitors as firms look set to retain more
graduates post qualification and take on more trainees
in 2016.
Following the large cuts in graduate recruitment in
2009 and 2010, coupled with people choosing to
emigrate and travel upon completion of training
contracts, there has been a noticeable decrease in the
current availability of newly qualified lawyers. Due to
this, graduate level hiring has increased over the course
of 2015 to match and in some instances exceed prerecession levels. We would expect to see this trend
continue into 2016.
The small to medium sized practices have been recruiting
throughout the last year and are expanding for the first
time in 5 years. When hiring top talent, employers will
need to highlight clear career progression plans. We
have also noticed employers re-introducing counter
offers over the past 12 months to retain exceptional
talent that is in short supply.
Looking ahead, we expect companies to continue
focusing their recruitment efforts on candidates with one
to five years’ post-qualified experience. We anticipate
senior-level opportunities will become available to
legal professionals with a strong client following and/or
Magic/Silver Circle experience. In-house positions are
also likely to open up as companies try to reduce their
external legal costs. In 2015, salaries have increased by
3-5% with some increases of 5-10% for top talent with
unique skill sets in the niche areas. However the short
supply of top talent and the lure of candidates to make
the move across to industry will require employers
to offer more competitive benefit packages in 2016,
including higher base salaries and bonus structures.
Retention measures and counter-offers are likely to
drive remuneration up in 2016 as market conditions
continue to favour legal professionals.
Compliance
Across domestic, international and investments there
has been a focus on compliance and risk departments
within investment banking, AIFMD, FATCA, Form PF and
MiFID. There has been a rise in roles in the registration
and listing areas and candidates with this background
will continue to be in demand through 2016. Within risk
there has been growth for operational risk candidates
in particular candidates with exposure to business
continuity management and disaster recovery.
The job market was buoyant for compliance
professionals in 2015, with increased demand across
fund management, insurance and professional
services. Candidate confidence continued to grow
throughout the year, leading to increased movement
in the jobs market. Hiring activity was stimulated by
new regulation, with many organisations looking to
recruit permanent and contract staff to help meet the
requirements of specific directives.
39
Demand was strong for professionals with experience
in consumer regulation, prudential regulation, and
MiFID, AIFMD, AML and data privacy. AML regulation
also led to increased hiring for contract and temporary
candidates, while more companies looked to fill hybrid
roles combining compliance with operational risk or
legal skills, or data privacy with information security.
Speed to market will be extremely crucial when hiring
in 2016 as top talent will go off the market very quickly
and will have the pick of opportunities from prospective
employers within compliance.
+353 1 4744600.
Regulation will continue to influence recruitment
activity in 2016, and candidates that can adapt to
measures such as the EU Data Protection Directive,
MiFID II and the new Money Laundering Directive
will be highly sought-after. Skilled professionals will
be challenging to source, in particular those with
prudential experience, while junior to mid-level
compliance professionals will be popular hiring options
as companies focus on succession planning.

Top Tip For 2016
Salaries in 2016
Not much has changed since 2015, but
there is a larger amount of companies
willing to pay a little extra for the right
candidate.
The main thing is to not let your experience and education
get dated. Keep upskilling in whatever way you can. If you are
already working in the industry then try to do as many courses
as your company will let you do or pay for. For those trying to
break into the market, the key is standing out. Many people
have a degree in science or engineering, but not everyone
will have work experience with an actual pharmaceutical
company, or have a GMP/GLP course done in the NIBRT
centre. Learn to stand out.

2016
The biggest news in the industry in Ireland is the recent
news of the Pfizer/Allergan buyout. It’s the biggest
takeover in the history of the global pharmaceutical
industry and also the largest valued merger in 2015
($160 Billion). Pfizer is now the largest pharmaceutical
company in the world and their HQ is based in Ireland.
As long as Ireland can keep at the centre of the
blockbuster drug manufacturing, then the future is
bright. 6 of the top 10 drugs in the world right now
are manufactured right here, in Ireland. Examples of
these would be the active ingredient for Pfizer’s drug
Viagra, which is produced in Cork. Another example,
Lantus was the 2nd biggest selling drug of 2014, which
is made in Sanofi’s site in Waterford.
This year alone, Ireland was the 7th largest
pharmaceutical and medicine exporter in the world,
with a value of €39 billion. Added to this, 9 of the top 10
pharmaceutical companies have plants in Ireland, with
a total of 25,000 people employed around the country.
Also, the move into biotech creates a bright future
for jobs in the industry. The new products that
companies are developing are complex and although
the corporate tax rate is seen by a lot of people as the
main reason these companies set-up/invest in new
facilities or stay here, it is also because we have the
talent to produce and develop new products.
The life sciences industry in Ireland in on the up and
up and this is evident in the large scale transition into
biopharma manufacturing. In the last decade, there has
been a mass expansion by pharmaceutical companies
into this area, with more forecasted for 2016. A perfect
example of this, is BMS’s €900 million facility being
constructed out near Blanchardstown, which they
hope will employ 500+ people.
+353 1 4744600.
On a global scale the industry is also growing. With
aging populations globally there is increased demand
for pharmaceutical products. It is estimated that the
global prescription market will be worth €800 billion
and over €1 trillion by 2020.

“With the medical device sector predicted
to grow by 4.4% annually it’s an excellent
time to be on the jobs market if you have
a relevant qualification and/or relevant
industry experience. There is a huge
rise in demand for biomedical engineers
and production staff within this industry
between start-up med tech companies,
SMEs and multinationals particularly in
the West of Ireland – the hub of medical
devices.”
Salaries in 2016
Top Tip For 2016
With the increased demand for specific
skillsets within the medical technology
industry, employers are becoming more
competitive in regard to salaries. SMEs and
start-ups are offering various incentives,
bonuses and benefits packages to rival
multinationals who have traditionally been
able to pay slightly more.
Include as much technical information as you can on your CV
including buzzwords such as “Six Sigma”, “Lean”, “Continuous
Improvement”, “Problem Solving”, “GMP”. It’s imperative to
view the job spec beforehand and tailor your CV accordingly.

2016
Statistics from IDA Ireland report that “Ireland’s
MedTech sector has become one of the leading clusters
for medical device products globally. Exports of
medical device products now represent 8% of Ireland’s
total merchandise exports”. The facts are there: 33%
of the world’s contact lenses are manufactured in
Ireland, as are 50% of the ventilators used in acute
hospitals worldwide. Additionally, 30 million people
with diabetes used Irish made injectable devices.
Europe’s hub of medical device companies are based
in Galway. Galway employs “one third of the country’s
25,000 medical device employees and the West
accounts for 39% of regional distribution of medical
devices” and Galway is globally renowned for its
specialisation in coronary devices (Medical Device
Sectoral Overview). The medical device engineering
market is growing exponentially in the West of Ireland
at the moment. It is the first time in a long time that
we are seeing more engineering positions becoming
available, than people freely ready to move positions
in order to take them. It goes without saying that these
are very exciting times for the medical device industry.
The West of Ireland is notorious for holding some of
the largest global medical technology companies
in the world and subsequently, some of the most
talented engineers are located there. With a plethora
of prestigious and globally-renowned medical device
companies to choose from, all located relatively close to
each other, engineers are under no pressure to rush into
a position without a big incentive to do so. Competition
is thriving and this is where strategic thinking is coming
into play regarding attracting employees. We are
noticing more attractive benefits, higher salaries, and
much more flexibility from employers for the right
candidate.
Never miss a medical devices job
Medical device start-ups are proving an attractive
option for engineers in big multinationals as they get to
really make a mark on a company, using the skills they
have learned.
We are also seeing continuing demand for manufacturing
engineers, quality engineers, R&D engineers, process
development engineers, and polymer engineers. If
you fall into this category, the West of Ireland is most
definitely the place to be.

In Demand for 2016
(SEO, Search/Display/Video Advertising)
“Multilingual sales candidates will be
most in demand with clients in 2016. This
is mainly due to the continued increase
in multinational organisations setting up
their EMEA headquarters here in Ireland.
Many of the successful start-ups that
have chosen Dublin as their European
HQ specialise in software and tech sales
and have a massive requirement for
candidates with a second language to sell
across Europe.”
Salaries in 2016
Top Tip For 2016
Overall salaries have increased. This is
most evident with senior multilingual
roles where there is a huge demand for
experienced candidates. We have also
seen a marginal increase for entry and
junior level roles.
If you are a sales oriented candidate then new business is
the key. The most exciting opportunities within SaaS sales
will be mostly oriented towards new business development.
It’s highly advisable to try and make internal lateral moves in
order to acquire this type of experience.

Fluency in German and software sales experience are
likely to be the most in demand combination of 2016.
Demand for Dutch, Swedish and Danish speakers is not
so far behind with the Nordic languages gaining more
and more significance.
Overall, opportunities in Ireland for multilingual
candidates will continue to increase in 2016, not only
in Dublin but also in cities such as Cork and Galway who
have also seen a surge in new business investments.
These roles will most likely be sales, customer service
or order management focused.
With these specific languages and skill requirements,
we are also seeing an increase in salaries being offered
to attract top talent. There is also an increase in
opportunities across the MENA territories with many
sales organisations targeting the Middle East & North
Africa as well as Eastern Europe and Russia.

“2015 saw an increase of 22.5% of
candidates moving roles in the office and
administration sector. This is reflected
in the continued demand for temporary
administration staff across Ireland, in
particular a demand for professionals
who are only available and interested in
temporary roles. There is a rise in demand
for multi-skilled administrators to work in
new start-ups.”
Salaries in 2016
Top Tips For 2016
Salaries are continuing to increase as the
market becomes more competitive. The
greater Dublin area is set to see increases
of up to 15% while growth will be slower
elsewhere with average salaries increasing
from 6% to 8%.
• It is an extremely competitive market with hundreds of
applicants applying for each office role. Ensure you tailor
your CV to make sure that your skills match the spec – both
on paper and in practice.
• Applicants need to keep in touch with their recruitment
agency regularly to ensure that they are being kept in mind
for new roles as they become available.
53
2016
Similar to 2015, well presented, enthusiastic and most
importantly multi-skilled professionals are in demand
in the office and administration sector on both the
temporary and contract side. With competition rising,
there is an increased requirement for the selection
and interview processes to be as quick as possible as
candidates are moving quickly with a rise in multiple
offers.
Our regional offices have seen the most roles in newly
created organisations, particularly in the West.
Based on increased demand in the office and
administration sector we can expect increase in salary,
benefits and competition for top talent.
+353 1 4744600.
Being such a broad industry we are seeing an increase
on sector specific backgrounds and similarities being
sought by employers. Strong sectors predicted for 2016
are financial services, public sector and technology.

There will be gradual increases in basic
salaries - the more noticable increase
differences should be in the OTEs.
“2015 saw a marked shift for sales positions
as more and more candidates entered the
market after a few years in hibernation. The
phrase “I heard the market is picking up” is
becoming more and more common as people
who previously stayed put to weather the
storms of the recession begin looking at the
opportunities of their own volition.
Clients have woken up to this fact as well and
have reviewed their hiring policies to take
advantage of the increased volume of people
looking for new positions. This creates a more
competitive market which has pros and cons
on both sides of the fence.”
Top Tip For 2016
Do your research on each company to make sure they see how
interested you are.
55
2016
IT sales is the area that continues to grow as more and
more companies enter the Irish market looking to hire
“inside sales” people. Typically they are technology or
software companies targeting UK and European clients
and in a lot of cases desire languages and qualifications.
The type of person in the highest demand is an
individual with 1-2 years successful sales experience.
This is a feature across multiple industries as companies
create roles previously closed in the recession. They are
seeking to bring new ideas and a fresh approach in a
lot of cases and see the junior sales role as a chance to
do that. If you are ready to begin a career in sales then
2016 could be the year for you!
Overall we hope to see marginal growth across most
industries with IT continuing to lead the way.
As a final point I would add that education is asked
about by an increasing number of companies who
expect a lot of candidates to have degrees and
masters. It’s more important in technical areas such
as IT, engineering and pharmaceutical but no matter
your level be prepared for the conversation!
+353 1 4744600.
On the FMCG side there has been small growth at mid
tier level such as key accounts and territory sales. We
expect this to continue and potentially create demand
for junior sales roles as a result of them.
Other areas that we expect to grow are technical roles
such as sales engineers and technical sales consultants
in engineering and construction for experienced
people. There was some growth in 2015 and in the
early part of 2016 we expect another surge.

an increase in roles the market is once
again turning into a candidate driven
market and experienced candidates are
becoming harder to find.”

Salaries in 2016
Top Tip For 2016
2016 will see salary increases across the
board but in particular for procurement
and supply chain analysts with advanced
systems and excel skills.
Always upskill as employers want to see relevant and up to
date courses on a CV. Particular areas of worth include Lean Six
Sigma, Project Management and Microsoft Excel. Supply Chain
courses such as the IIPMM now a requirement for jobs with
some employers.

2016
2015 was a great year for the Supply Chain industry
with a significant increase in the number of roles on the
market, particularly in the second half of the year. What
is interesting is the variety of roles coming through
from warehouse managers, site general managers to
procurement specialists and directors, showing that
the market is improving across the board and not just
in one particular area.
Once again we have seen a demand for ocean and
air freight candidates with a minimum of 3 plus
years’ experience but have found that there is a lack
of candidates in the industry and these roles have
proved difficult to source candidates for.
+353 1 4744600.
In the second half of last year we saw a large increase
in the demand for purchasing and procurement
professionals at all levels from buyers, commodity
specialists to procurement managers across a wide
range of industries including financial services, medical
devices and manufacturing.
