Salaries for Permanent Placements Beginning to Rise

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:15:02 +0000

Recruitment Consultancy, Commercial Finance People, which places professionals throughout the Banking and Finance sectors, has reported a slight increase in salaries for specialist roles where there is a short supply. This echoes the findings of KPMG’s ‘Report on Jobs’ to which CFP is a contributor.

The recruitment industry survey tracks both the average salaries awarded to people placed in permanent jobs each month, as well as average hourly rates of pay for temp/contract staff.

Permanent salaries

Starting salaries awarded to successful candidates placed in permanent jobs increased for the second month running in December. Furthermore, the latest rise was the fastest since June 2008. Where higher salaries were reported (by 12% of panellists), this was usually attributed to stronger demand for staff.

Temp/contract pay rates

Hourly rates of pay for temporary/contract staff decreased for a fifteenth successive month in December. However, the rate of decline eased to only a marginal pace that was the weakest in that sequence.
