Although the UK jobs marketcontinued to be challengingin 2012, there were still someencouraging signs. Vacancieswere being released in mostdisciplines and businesses werestill looking to exploit growthopportunities. This, along with acontinuing focus on maximisingefficiencies and regulatorypressure, were the primarydrivers behind employers’recruitment strategies. Overall,though, general job levels remainedrelatively low in comparisonto those witnessed pre-2008.Hiring activity occurred acrossa variety of industry sectors,with retail, telecommunications,technology and AIM-listednatural resources businessesall performing relatively strongly.The London insurance marketwas also boosted by theannouncement of Lloyd’s‘Vision 2025’ programme, whichoutlined the firm’s commitmentto growing premium incomesin established markets, furtherinternationalisation of its brokerand underwriting networks andthe setup of a new overseas hub.In addition, we saw some demandfrom professional/businessservices, digital, online gamingand publishing firms. Thosebusinesses that were performingthe strongest typically had asignificant international and/oronline presence.Despite challenging marketconditions, employers were stillseeking to hire professionalswho could identify growthopportunities. Commerciallyfocusedaccountants, talentedsales professionals and marketingspecialists who could offerdiscernable ROI were allsought-after.Within the banking sector, mostrecruitment was prompted bybanks focusing on businesscriticalreplacement hires.There were some exceptions tothis and growth hiring was stilltaking place, primarily inresponse to regulatory pressure.But uncertainty in Europe ledlarge banks to become morecautious. The investmentmanagement jobs market wasmore positive though, particularlyin the first half of 2012 and wecontinued to see some goodopportunities in both operationsand finance among firmsoperating in this sector.The jobs market outside of Londoncontinued to be impacted by bigback office functions relocatingto the Midlands and the North-West. There are a number ofexamples across a varietyof sectors, including financialservices, transport, retail andleisure businesses, with thesetransitions creating new rolesin these regions.Overall salary levels remainconsistent, with few roles payingsignificantly more than last year.However, we have seen somerises in isolated areas. Increaseswere typically rare though andonly evident in the most indemandareas, with professionalsmore likely to receive upliftswhen changing job.Employers are likely to remainconservative in <strong>2013</strong> as theyseek further clarity of the globaleconomic climate. Reducing costsand maximising efficiencieswill remain a driver behindorganisations’ recruitmentstrategies, with many also keento hire professionals who canhelp them to generate revenueand offer strong ROI. Thebest talent will remain highlysought-after, meaning firms willneed to remain flexible on salaryand implement efficient hiringprocesses to be successful insecuring the highest-calibreprofessionals.UNITED KINGDOM<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

The Irish recruitment marketimproved in 2012, with an increasein job levels within both financialservices and commercialorganisations. As candidateconfidence also improved,professionals became morewilling to consider new jobopportunities thus creatinggreater movement in the market.Financial services organisationshired in greater volumes thanprevious years, particularly inthe specialist areas of audit, riskand compliance in preparationfor Solvency II implementation.In the second half of the year,credit risk, arrears managementand fund accounting specialistswere most sought-after as bankscontinued to expand thesefunctions and manage theirdistressed mortgage books.There was increased recruitmentactivity within multinationalcommercial organisations,with a particular rise in demandfor finance, supply chainand marketing professionals.Although the majority ofrecruitment was at a senior levelwhere niche skills were mandatory(e.g. Six Sigma, digital marketing,revenue accounting), we alsosaw an increase in junior positionsas many organisations soughtto create depth within their teamsdue to an upturn in business.As a result of an increased desireamong employers to hire,competition for the best talentintensified. Consequently,staff retention became a keypriority and counter offers werecommonplace. While recruitmentprocesses remained relativelylong, they quickened during thesecond half of the year indicatingan increased urgency to securethe right candidates.Temporary and contractrecruitment levels continuedto increase across all sectorsthroughout the year. Longertermcontracts of 2-3 yearswere popular options for clientslooking to circumvent headcountrestrictions. Shorter termtemporary staff were also inhigh demand as organisationssought to fill skills gaps resultingfrom increased workloads.In <strong>2013</strong>, we expect the primaryfocus to be on sourcinghigh-calibre staff with specialistskill sets and a proven trackrecord within their industry. Weexpect the contract recruitmentmarket to be particularly active,with the existing preferencefor longer term contracts ofup to three years to continue asa result of ongoing headcountrestrictions. Within commerceand industry, we expect to seethe continuation of a somewhatcautious but generally positiveapproach to permanent hiringduring <strong>2013</strong>.We expect salaries to generallyremain unchanged; however,professionals with proven sectoror technical expertise are likelyto receive salary increases of5-10% when moving to similarpositions in competingorganisations. For temporaryand fixed-term assignments,we anticipate that completionbonuses will become increasinglycommon as employers seekto retain contractors for theduration of the assignment.Professionals with niche skillswithin IT, audit and compliancewill continue to demand apremium as clients competefor limited candidate resourcesin these areas.Ireland<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

The Belgium jobs market provedrelatively resilient to the uncertainglobal economic environment,with employers in the countryrecruiting for both permanentand interim vacancies throughout2012. Despite this, we did notsee any significant changesin salary levels and recruitmentprocesses lengthened fromSeptember onwards.Organisations in the banking andfinancial services sectors wereparticularly cautious in 2012with some of these companiesdownsizing their workforces.However, job levels were relativelyhigh in the insurance sector andshortages were evident for certainprofessionals, including actuariesand solvency specialists.Outside of financial services,there was also demand forfinancial controllers and treasuryprofessionals at the 5-10 years’experience level – especiallyfrom multinationals inmanufacturing, technologyand service industries duringthe first half of the year. Forthe majority of finance roles inBelgium, trilingual professionalswere sought-after.Although employers continuedto hire contractors and temporarystaff, demand for theseprofessionals declined in2012 with official statisticsfrom Federgon (the federationof employment partners inBelgium) showing temporary joblevels were down almost 7%on 2011. Despite this overridingtrend, student temporary workersbecame increasingly in demandfollowing the easing of legalrestrictions concerning theiremployability. These candidatesproved an attractive propositionfor cost-conscious businessesseeking extra resource.While the jobs market remainsdifficult to predict for <strong>2013</strong>,many organisations will continueto operate with lean resourcesand we anticipate that the majorityof hiring will be on a replacementbasis.BELGIUM<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

As in 2009 and 2011, the Frenchjobs market was characterisedby economic instability in 2012.Few individuals receivedsignificant pay increases andthe variable part of remunerationremained low, impacting optimismin the market and increasingthe general feeling of insecurity.However, these challengingconditions generated significantdemand in key areas. Specifically,we saw demand for CEOs,compliance officers, actuaries,IT specialists and R&D engineersduring 2012. Despite candidatesbecoming more reluctant tochange jobs, some professionalsreceived salary increments ofup to 20% when moving roles,especially within in-demandareas such as corporate finance,tax and legal and insurance.As most professionals acceptedthat market conditions werechallenging and significantsalary increases were thereforerare, many instead focusedon other factors when movingjobs.

With Germany experiencingrelatively strong economicconditions, job levels remainedhigh in 2012 as both largecorporate businesses and SMEscontinued to hire. This led tonotable salary increases,particularly within finance, HR, IT,marketing and sales, as employersoffered attractive salarypackages and significant careerdevelopment opportunities inorder to secure the best talent.The banking sector was theonly exception to this, with firmsnegatively impacted by continuingeconomic uncertainty in theEurozone. As a result, bankswere cautious about hiring andprofessionals were reluctantto change roles.However, recruitment levelswere relatively high in other areas.Specifically, the developmentof new technologies (e.g. mobileand cloud computing) led todemand for sales and marketingprofessionals in the onlineand digital space, while HRprofessionals were increasinglysought-after as organisationslooked to optimise their HRprocesses. As IT departmentsincreasingly became regardedas key drivers of businessinnovation, IT specialists werealso sought-after. Organisationsalso continued to invest intheir finance functions andhired accounting professionalswith international experienceand language skills to supportthis growth.While we expect salary levelswill remain consistent movinginto <strong>2013</strong>, there are likely tobe some isolated exceptions,for example, we expect ITprofessionals and online salesand marketing specialists toreceive salary increases ascompanies continue to investin new technologies and theironline sales channels.Overall job levels are likely toremain stable as internationalcompanies continue to invest inthe German market. In particular,demand will continue for expertsand senior professionals withinIT, sales, finance, risk andcompliance. Foreign professionalswill also seek new opportunities inGermany, attracted by its relativeeconomic stability in comparisonto the rest of Europe.GERMANY<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

While the recruitment marketin Luxembourg remained stablethroughout the majority of 2012,we saw an element of cautionamong employers in quarter four.For their part, professionals werealso reluctant to change rolesdespite unemployment levels inLuxembourg being amongst thelowest in Europe. The majorityof hiring that did occur was theresult of employers recruiting ona replacement basis rather thancreating new jobs.Overall, salaries remained stable.However, we saw modestincreases for legal, tax andcompliance professionalsdue to the introduction of newlegislation and regulation. Weexpect these trends to continuein <strong>2013</strong>, when we anticipatetrilingual candidates and legaland tax specialists will be ableto command salary increasesof around 5% when moving jobsdue to the high demand andshort supply.While most candidates soughtsalary increases when changingroles, the majority consideredlong-term career prospects akey factor in the decision makingprocess.

Due to ongoing market instabilityacross the Eurozone, the Dutchrecruitment market remainedstatic in 2012 and overall job levelscontinued to be relatively low.Salaries levels also remainedconsistent from the previous year.This overall trend was evidentacross most job disciplines.While the recruitment market forpermanent finance professionalsin 2012 remained stable, demandfell for interim finance specialistsas worsening economicconditions caused projects thatdid not immediately contribute tothe bottom line to be cancelledor postponed. Similarly, employerswere also less keen to hirespecialised short-term temporarycandidates as budgets tightened.In keeping with these main trends,we saw little demand for highlyskilled banking and financialservices professionals asemployers in this sector wereforced to reduce headcountand/or projects were shelved.With job levels relatively low,candidates became morereluctant to seek newopportunities. As a result,employers often found it difficultto source professionals withsought-after skills. As few jobopenings offered genuinecareer progression, candidatesinstead focused on longer-termdevelopment, with many optingto make horizontal job movesin order to broaden theirexperience for the future.With the market remainingchallenging, future trends aredifficult to predict. If the Dutcheconomy begins to recover, therecruitment market will clearlyimprove as both employers andprofessionals become moreconfident. If this improvementmaterialises, interim financeprofessionals with experiencein Hyperion, Cognos and SAPBPC will be the first in demandas employers seek to improvetheir management informationreports. As companies tendedto hire fewer junior level financestaff in 2012, we would alsoanticipate an increased demandfor these candidates in <strong>2013</strong>.NETHERLANDS<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

Spain's unemployment ratejumped to a record high of 25%in the third quarter of 2012.This figure had been increasingsince the second quarter of2007, when it stood at 8%.With the economy in a doublediprecession, we expectunemployment levels to continuerising into the first half of <strong>2013</strong>.Despite these obvious challenges,there were pockets of recruitmentactivity with some sectorsperforming better than others.For example, we saw highdemand within IT firms for seniorsales professionals, experiencedproject managers and mobilityexperts, with cloud and mobiletechnology the two key driversfor growth.The engineering sector wasalso relatively active as Spanishcompanies won infrastructureand energy related projectsin South America and the EMEAregion. Project managers weresought-after among thesebusinesses to work on anexpatriate basis onsite.The <strong>2013</strong> state draft budget,unveiled in 2012, included newconsolidation measures and astructural reforms programme.As a result, we are quietlyoptimistic regarding the jobsmarket and expect recruitmentactivity levels to increasemoderately in the second halfof <strong>2013</strong> as these reforms comeinto effect.SpainAs organisations looked tointernational markets to generaterevenue, they sought analysis,corporate development, strategyand project finance professionals.Financial controllers andfinancial planning and analysisprofessionals were also indemand as companies lookedfor individuals who could helpthem manage costs.<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

Although economic fundamentals(i.e. inflation and interest rates,budget deficit and consumerconfidence) remained relativelystrong in Switzerland in 2012,recruitment volumes fellthroughout the year as globalmarket conditions worsened.Financial institutions, a keysector of the Swiss economy,were particularly under pressure.However, this was a consequenceof increasing regulatory pressurerather than the Eurozonefinancial crisis. As internationalregulations put pressure onfirms to increase transparency,assets under managementand margins decreased, whichled to redundancies in someorganisations and an overalldecrease in recruitment levels.Most recruitment that occurredin the financial services sectortook place in specific niche areas– for example, risk and complianceprofessionals were in demanddue to the aforementionedregulatory squeeze. However,insurance companies provedmore resilient to the crisis thanbanks and were relatively activein the recruitment market –particularly in the first half ofthe year. Within the commercialsector, we saw steady demandfor talent in some niche areassuch as energy and medicaldevices businesses. We sawspecific demand within theseemployers for local GAAPand transfer pricing expertise,along with other Swiss-specifictreasury and tax knowledge.Most recruitment took placewithin Swiss companies, whichprimarily sought candidateswith local experience. However,these professionals were inshort supply as the majorityof individuals who sought newopportunities were internationalcandidates. By contrast, demanddecreased within internationalcompanies headquarteredin Switzerland, which insteadsought to fill vacancies bypromoting or transferring stafffrom other offices.While overall salary levelsgenerally remained stable,we saw slight increases in someisolated areas.

After two years of significantrecruitment activity, the hiringdecrease we predicted at theend of 2011 materialised during2012 as multinational companiesoperating in Brazil, along withlocal Brazilian organisations, wereimpacted by global economicconditions.In keeping with this trend,economic figures fell belowexpectations – GDP growthdecreased to 1% at the end of 2012after an initial prediction of 4.5%(this followed a similar patternto 2011, when GDP grew 3.8%after an initial 7% estimate).However, the unemployment rate(5.3% in October 2012) remainedconsistent and below the overallaverage of the past decade(of just below 10%).Decreasing vacancy levelsimpacted overall job seekerconfidence. While the salary onoffer remained a key motivationfor professionals looking to moveroles, they were increasinglyattracted to positions offeringlong-term career prospects(i.e. promises of careerdevelopment and training)and overall job security.Although salaries formanagement-level professionalsremained among the highestin the world, the depreciationof the value of the real in 2012in comparison to the maincurrencies (e.g. US dollar, euro)had an impact on the earningpotential of these individuals.This, combined with the realityof recent economic conditions,meant that some candidateswere willing to acceptcomparatively lower salariesto secure more attractive roles.However, we are confident thatthe jobs market will improve in<strong>2013</strong>. After being extremely costconscious for a sustained period,employers will need to staff theirteams as consumer confidencegrows, the oil and gas sectorstrengthens and the volume ofmajor infrastructure projectsincrease in advance of the FIFAWorld Cup in 2014 and the RioOlympics in 2016.BRAZIL<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

In the US, <strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> hasoffices in New York City and SanFrancisco. While the New Yorkoffice concentrates mostly onbanking and financial services(among other disciplines),San Francisco works almostexclusively within the technologyindustry.New YorkThroughout 2012, trends in thejobs market followed broadlysimilar patterns to 2011. Althoughthe unemployment rate improvedslightly, we did not see a notableincrease in hiring initiativesor job levels in any disciplines.Firms were very selective, butwilling to hire quality candidateswho launched aggressive jobsearches and could prove valuewith cost-cutting or operationalimprovement ideas.Compensation levels remainedconsistent with 2011 asbusinesses were still gainingconfidence as the US transitionsthrough a time of economicuncertainty. Some companiesshowed initial interest in hiringonly to change their mindsand stall later in the process.While the US did see an overallincrease in the total numberof roles released over 2011, joblevels in 2012 were not as highas many economists and hiringmanagers predicted. This ispartly due to the fact that manycompanies who lost employeesin 2012 sought to replace onlyaround half of the staff that left.San FranciscoIn contrast to the broader USeconomy, the San Francisco BayArea (a global technology hub)recovered strongly from therecession. This trend continuedin 2012 when job levels within thetech space increased significantly.As a result, competition fortalent was at its fiercest sincethe dot-com bubble of the early2000s, with employers goingto great lengths to attract andretain top employees. Significantsalary increases, large sign-onbonuses, sizeable equity stakesand various other perks, suchas free meals and shuttle services,were the norm in 2012. Largecompanies and start-ups withventure capital funding wereparticularly aggressive in theirpursuit of high-calibre candidates.In particular, product managementprofessionals with advancedcomputer science and mathdegrees were in high demandwithin the mobile app space. Inthe cloud/SaaS space, marketingprofessionals with useracquisition experience andtop sales performers were highlysought-after.In <strong>2013</strong>, we expect job levels toremain high and competition forthe best candidates to becomeeven more intense. As a result,compensation levels (includingbonuses, equity stakes andadditional perks) are likely to risein the San Francisco Bay Area.usaIn <strong>2013</strong>, macro events will continueto shape the labour market.The extent of the economic impactis still unknown due to lingeringeconomic issues. We expect to seeslow and steady growth in hiringas these large scale problemsare progressively addressed.<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

The Australian economy provedrelatively robust in early 2012and headline figures remainedcomparatively healthy in contrastto many other countries. However,a combination of the slowdownof the mining and resourcessector, the Chinese economicdeceleration and the affectsof global economic uncertaintyeroded business confidence.The well-publicised slowdownof the resources sector led thegovernment to review its ownrevenue forecasts, which affectedmomentum and sentiment in thewider economy. Concerns overthe costs of major mining andresources activities led manyorganisations to re-evaluate localinvestments, leading to projectsand hiring being put on hold. Thistrend was particularly exaggeratedin Queensland as the new Stategovernment implemented costand investment cutting measures.The Australian market will continueto be influenced by internationaltrading conditions in <strong>2013</strong>.However, there are indications ofrecovery in the resources sectoras projects put on hold in 2012are restarted. This is likelyto have a positive effect on thewider economy, leading toincreased confidence in all areas.Despite difficult trading conditionsin 2012, even slight increasesin momentum should lead toincreased recruitment in <strong>2013</strong>.AustraliaThese tough trading conditionsled to limited growth in the financialservices and property sectors,both traditionally major employers,resulting in reduced hiring activity.Recruitment processes alsolengthened, especially at seniorlevels as organisations becamemore cautious and therefore tooklonger to sign-off new roles andapprove increased headcount.<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

After a relatively strong year in2011, the Chinese economy didnot remain immune to the effectsof prolonged global economicuncertainty and hiring levelsvaried considerably by sectorthroughout 2012.Banking and financial servicesfirms were most affected byglobal market conditions. Whilethese employers were keen toincrease profitability and hiresales professionals, they werealso required to minimise costsand, in some cases, weresubject to headcount freezes.Despite the uncertainty, affluenceand disposable income levelscontinued to increase acrossChina leading to growth withinthe retail, luxury and FMCGindustries. Although many ofthese organisations were scalingback expansion plans, therewere still a number of internationalbrands expanding to Tier 2 andTier 3 cities, resulting in particulardemand for sales, HR, training,business development andleasing professionals. In addition,technology companies also grewsteadily due to an influx of foreigninvestment into China, anddemand increased as a resultfor IT professionals with crossregionalexperience, programmersand business analysts who couldsupport expanding businesses.However, most recruitmentactivity throughout 2012 waslargely replacement-focusedas employers concentrated onreducing costs. As companiessought to ensure that theyhired only the best candidates,we also saw an increasingtendency to implementpsychometric testing duringthe recruitment process.With the economic environmentchallenging, salary incrementsfor professionals who moved jobswere generally lower than previousyears. Specifically, candidatestypically received increasesof 15-20% when changing rolesin 2012 (compared to 15-30%in 2011). However, strongperformers received as much asa 40% increase in some cases.As international organisationsfocused on localising theirChinese businesses, demandfor Westernised talent reducedthroughout the year. Instead,candidates from Hong Kong,Taiwan, <strong>Singapore</strong> and Malaysiawere preferred for their Mandarinlanguage skills and ability toadapt to the local culture.As the economy showed signs ofrecovery at the end of 2012 withimproving manufacturing activity,multinational conglomerates arelikely to continue to invest in Chinamoving into <strong>2013</strong>. While we expectthis to lead to new positions beingreleased, organisations will remaincost-conscious and as a resultwill seek local candidates –along with professionals fromHong Kong, <strong>Singapore</strong>, Malaysiaand Taiwan – to fill positionsvacated by expats.With organisations continuingto seek high-calibre candidates,attracting and retaining the besttalent will be a key challenge.Although most job seekers werepreviously primarily motivatedby salary increments, careerdevelopment is becomingincreasingly important. As China’sprojected GDP exceeds 8% andincreased consumer inflation isalso anticipated, salary levels arelikely to grow in <strong>2013</strong>.

Although economic growthremained conservative in HongKong in 2012, numerous IT,infrastructure and constructionprojects were implementedduring the year, which led toa number of job opportunitiesbeing created in the process.In particular, systems andapplication support professionals,project managers, programmersand system architects were hired.The financial services sector wasimpacted by challenging globalmarket conditions and job levelsremained relatively low throughoutthe year. However, there weresome encouraging signs in thefront office space, where bankssought corporate bankers intrade finance and supply chain,private bankers and salesprofessionals in the consumerbanking and insurance sectors.Retail and tourism-relatedcompanies were also impactedby difficult market conditionsand a short-term decrease inconsumer confidence.As the local property marketstabilises and China’s growthrate remains high, we expectan improvement in Hong Kong’sservice-driven sectors during<strong>2013</strong>. However, as globaleconomic uncertainty continues,recruitment levels are likely to berelatively low at the start of theyear before increasing in quartersthree and four. Cost will continueto be a key priority for employers,with existing staff taking on moreresponsibility as firms seek tokeep their operational costslean. We expect this will impacton companies’ hiring processes,with stringent approval processesput in place and candidatesexpected to possess the majorityof the skill sets required foreach role.Attracting and retaining talentis likely to be a key challenge foremployers in <strong>2013</strong>. When lookingfor new opportunities, job seekerswill seek stability, a clear careerpath and a company withprojected growth. For their part,employers are likely to offer jobrotation opportunities as theyseek to keep their best employees.HONG KONGWith profit margins falling in anumber of organisations as pooreconomic performance continuesin the US and Europe, weanticipate a marked decreasein annual bonus payouts withinthe Hong Kong market.

Indonesia has a population ofapproximately 275 million peopleand an economy that is growingat 6% annually. The governmenthas been able to stem inflationwith specially designed policies,creating an environment forfurther economic growth.Additionally, with a growingmiddle class possessing higherdisposable incomes, Indonesiahas become one of the largestand rapidly growing emergingmarkets in the world.This burgeoning middle classwere a significant driving forcebehind increasing domesticconsumption, which led tofurther growth within the FMCG,healthcare and medical servicessectors. As a result, there wasa rise in sales and marketingjob opportunities to meet theincreasing demand from thisdemographic.The country also remainsan attractive destination forbusinesses as it continues tointernationalise and evolve.Its ability to remain resilient amidan uncertain global economicclimate made it a prime locationfor foreign investment, whichin turn further fuelled domesticindustry growth.The jobs market remainedcandidate-short in certain areas,such as banking and financialservices, as well as humanresources. This could potentiallythreaten companies’ futuregrowth plans as they competefor a finite pool of professionals.<strong>2013</strong> is likely to be an interestingyear full of challenges andopportunities for the Indonesiarecruitment market. Companiesacross various industries arelooking to expand and growtheir business and talentedprofessionals are therefore likelyto be in demand across all sectors,causing a further squeeze onthe number of qualified andexperienced professionals.With such intense competitionfor the best candidates,employers will need to focus ontheir talent retention strategiesand/or offer more competitivepackages to ensure they keeptheir key employees.indonesia<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

Due to continued economicuncertainty both domesticallyand abroad, employers in Japangenerally focused on reducingcosts in 2012. Many firmsconsolidated business functionsby moving transactionalaccounting and operationspositions offshore to more costeffectivelocations, streamliningprocedures or increasing the useof vendors and professionalcontractors. In particular, somecompanies increased their use oftechnology vendors and contractprofessionals on a per-projectbasis, while others brought legalfunctions in-house.However, this consolidationand restructuring created somedemand for more strategicallyfocusedpositions. For example,companies sought bilingualfinancial planning and analysisprofessionals due to their abilityto forecast conditions and helpfirms better manage future costs.Supply chain and procurementprofessionals were also requiredto take on planning responsibilities(in addition to their typicalpurchasing duties) as employerssought to reduce costs throughimproved inventory management.During 2012, we saw an increasein the number of Japanese firmsexpanding abroad due to therelatively high value of the yen andslower domestic consumption.This created an increase innew opportunities for localprofessionals to work overseasand develop regionalresponsibilities. Within themanufacturing sector, Tokyo andKansai-based companies movedsome of their facilities abroador employed vendor firms asthey sought to reduce costs.As a result, we saw increaseddemand for professionals whocould coordinate productionoverseas and integrate vendorsinto their businesses. This trendwas also evident in the online andcommercial sectors, where firmssought jobseekers with experiencein leading foreign-based teamsfor development projects.While market-rate salary averagesremained stable in most jobdisciplines, professionalsexpected modest increaseswhen moving roles becauseof the continued demandfor experienced, bilingualprofessionals. However, manycandidates remained reluctantto move because of uncertainmarket conditions.japanWe expect both hiring and salarylevels to remain consistent in <strong>2013</strong>as employers seek to controlcosts by consolidating theirbusiness functions. However,professionals with strategic skillsets will continue to be soughtafter.As firms seek candidatescapable of facilitating theircost-reduction efforts, bilingualprofessionals with experiencemanaging overseas facilities,back-office teams or vendorswill be in the highest demand.<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

As the government implementedplans to increase foreign directinvestment, a growing number ofmultinationals started to regardMalaysia as a key location in theAsian market. Consequently,more international companieschose to move to or establishoperations in the country, whichsubsequently generated jobopportunities for HR, IT, financeand accounting specialists at themid to senior level.The healthcare, manufacturing,oil and gas and FMCG sectorsgrew steadily in 2012, which ledto a rise in vacancies withinsome businesses operating inthese areas. For example, salesand marketing professionals(e.g. trade marketers andconsumer insight specialists)were sought-after by companieswithin the FMCG and healthcareindustries due to growingconsumer spend levels.With supply chain, procurementand logistics businessesremaining cautiously optimistic,we also saw some hiring in thisarea. In particular, manufacturingcompanies recruited supplychain planners and procurementand logistics professionalsas they sought to improveinternal controls and maximiseefficiencies.However, companies operatingin Malaysia were not completelyshielded from global economicconditions and cost-cuttingremained a priority for many. Inparticular, banking and financialservices firms continued tobe conservative in their hiring.With professionals drawn byhigher salaries, better careerprospects and the opportunityof regional exposure offeredby other countries in the region,loss of talent continued topose significant challengesfor employers in Malaysia. Inresponse, companies beganto implement improved staffretention strategies, creatingsubsequent demand for HRprofessionals specialisingin talent development andcompensation and benefits.Employers were also more opento considering internationalcandidates due to a lack ofsufficiently-skilled talent inthe local market. This wasparticularly prevalent in theIT and accounting job markets.However, as the oil and gasindustry continued to grow,we saw high demand for localor returnee Malaysians withgeo-sciences experience ascompanies became less relianton expatriate talent in this area.Although the financial servicesindustry in Malaysia is fairlyinsulated, banks and financialservices firms are likely to adoptan extra cautious approach tohiring in <strong>2013</strong>. Critical revenuegeneratingfront office hires willcontinue and the tightening ofcontrols will lead to an increasein demand for compliance andrisk specialists. However, weexpect firms in the healthcare,manufacturing, oil and gas andFMCG sectors to remain relativelyactive in the jobs market.malaysia<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

The New Zealand employmentmarket was relatively mixed in2012. While many organisationswere confident about the future,others were concerned aboutlocal and global economicconditions. This led toorganisations either movingforward with their hiring plansor taking a more conservativeapproach and restructuring ordelaying recruitment initiativesto <strong>2013</strong>. This variation in hiringattitudes meant there were anumber of peaks and troughsin recruitment levels throughoutthe year.With uncertain economicconditions and continuing internalcompany restructures, overalljob seeker confidence was low.As a result, many professionalsapproached their job search withcaution. We anticipate confidencein both the economy and the jobmarket will improve throughout<strong>2013</strong> and therefore expect to seeincreased positivity among bothemployers and candidates.This will create greater candidatemovement in the market andlead to increased job levels.As the New Zealand talent poolis relatively small, any shifts indemand can quickly create skillshortages. Consequently, weanticipate that salaries will risewithin the main growth industries(i.e. finance, human resourcesand IT) in <strong>2013</strong> as competitionfor talent intensifies. Thoseorganisations that implementthe most efficient recruitmentprocesses will secure the bestprofessionals available.New ZEALAnd<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

Overall hiring volumes wererelatively high in <strong>Singapore</strong> in 2012.The FMCG, chemicals,engineering, manufacturing,retail, logistics, oil and gas and ITsectors were particularly activedue to a combination of a steadyflow of replacement hires, businessgrowth and <strong>Singapore</strong> remaininga top choice among internationalfirms as a regional hub.However, global marketuncertainty had a notableeffect on the <strong>Singapore</strong> market.In particular, job levels fellconsiderably in the financialservices sector during the secondhalf of the year and redundanciesoccurred at all levels. In particular,many investment banking backoffice roles were relocated tolower cost locations. However,professionals specialising inproduct control, transactionbanking, project management,credit risk, compliance, auditand legal were still highly soughtafterdue to regulatory changesand <strong>Singapore</strong> continuing tomature as a financial serviceshub. For these positions, firmsplaced a significant emphasison local talent or <strong>Singapore</strong>returnees due to their knowledgeof the local market, culture andnetwork of contacts across Asia.Similarly, an increasinglycompetitive business climatewithin the information technologyand telecommunicationssectors led these organisationsto run lean operations as theysought to cut costs. Largesystems integrators andtelecommunications companiesbuilt offshore offices in lowercost locations, in particular,large data centres, applicationdevelopment and supportfunctions were shifted tocountries such as Malaysiaand India. While we saw fewerlarge IT infrastructure projectsimplemented in 2012, theoutlook for <strong>2013</strong> remainsoptimistic due to anticipatedrefresh programmes.Despite a generally conservativehiring climate, government-linkedorganisations, commoditiesfirms and insurance companiescontinued to recruit keyprofessionals for a combinationof replacement hires andgrowth opportunities.There was also increased demandfor contractors as hiring managersfound it difficult to gain approvalfrom head office for permanenthires. Due to this increaseddemand, professionals weremore open to a range of positionsas they sought to gain variedindustry experience.In <strong>2013</strong>, firms within thechemicals, pharmaceuticaland medical devices sectorsare likely to hire to supportbusiness growth. Among thesebusinesses, there will continueto be demand for sales andmarketing professionals andgeneral managers with profit andloss experience and the abilityto generate revenue. We alsoanticipate increased job levels inthe technical healthcare space,with high demand for regulatoryaffairs, pharmacovigilance,medical representatives andclinical research professionalswith the prerequisite scientificrelateddegrees as <strong>Singapore</strong>aims to establish itself as amedical hub for the region.However, we anticipate thatrecruiting high-calibre localcandidates will continue to bechallenging as the local talentpool remains limited. Because ofthese shortages, talent retentionand attraction is likely to becomeincreasingly important foremployers looking to sustaintheir long-term growth plans.<strong>Singapore</strong><strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

While overall job levels remainedconsistent with 2011, there wasgrowth in some specific industrysectors in 2012. Multinationalcompanies continued to transitionto more westernised businessenvironments, which created anincrease in career opportunitiesfor bilingual, internationallymindedprofessionals withindustry-specific experience.However, sourcing theseprofessionals remainedchallenging, especially at juniormanager to mid-career levels,due to limited supply and intensecompetition for candidateswith these skill sets.As Korea ratified separate freetrade agreements with bothEurope and the US in 2012,we noted increased interestamong multinational companies(e.g. international law firms)considering market expansionor entry into the country. As thistrend continues, we anticipatea limited but steady flow of newmarket entrants in <strong>2013</strong>.While firms generally did notincrease headcount in 2012, manydid look to up-skill their teamswhen making replacement hiresrather than recruiting like-for-like.This was particularly noticeablein accounting and finance, wherefirms sought professionals ableto also perform strategic duties(such as planning and analysis)rather than purely transactionalresponsibilities, which weremoved offshore.Although consumer spendingdeclined in 2012, demand formarketing and sales professionalsin FMCG, retail, luxury and otherconsumer product companiesremained consistent. Asfirms sought to differentiatethemselves from their competitorsdespite receiving extremelylimited new headcount approval,these businesses often hiredprofessionals with specialistdigital marketing or CRMexperience when replacingstaff who left. As a result,demand for generalist marketingprofessionals decreased.We saw a slight increase inrecruitment within IT-relatedbusinesses as both new andestablished companies lookedto add new headcount. As largercompanies adopted technologies,such as virtualisation and bigdata management, demand forsales specialists in these areasremained strong. We expectsalaries in the technologyspace to increase at higher ratesthan other industries in <strong>2013</strong>as companies compete forthe limited professionals withthis experience.Despite these pockets of activity,overall hiring levels are likely toremain consistent in <strong>2013</strong>, withKorean businesses continuingto globalise. As a result, themajority of salary levels shouldalso remain stable. However,a shortage of internationallymindedprofessionals meansthese candidates are likely toreceive relatively high salaryincreases when moving roles.Employers will continue to focuson recruiting specialists ratherthan generalists as they seekto differentiate themselvesfrom their competitors.south KOREA<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

Following the presidential electionof early 2012, the political climatebecame more stable in Taiwanand this created a more positivebusiness environment in thecountry. Cross-strait ties betweenTaiwan and China continuedto strengthen, particularly afterTaipei and Beijing signed anagreement to establish a directclearing system for the currenciesof both markets.While this has yet to formally beimplemented, the potential of theTaiwan dollar and Chinese yuanbeing converted directly andbypassing the US dollar marks asignificant move to foster closertrade ties and improve investmentrelations. As a result, we arelikely to see more businessessetting-up and expanding intothe country and job opportunitiesbeing generated as a result.As the world’s biggest contractmanufacturers of semiconductorsand laptop computers, Taiwan’smanufacturing, IT and technologysectors are traditionally verystrong. This continued to be thecase throughout 2012, whenoverseas sales of manufacturingproducts accounted for morethan 67% of Taiwan’s economy.As an export-dependent country,market conditions in the countrywere inevitably affected by theglobal economic slowdown andslower growth rate in China.Within the technology space,there were moderate levels ofhiring activity in 2012. Companiescontinued to recruit salesprofessionals with proven trackrecords and strong productknowledge to generate revenue.Leaders within the technologyindustry also actively soughtproduct managers and pre-salesengineers with client-facing skills.While general hiring sentimentwas conservative, particularlywithin the banking and financialservices sector, recruitmentlevels remained relatively highwithin consumer and retailbanking. This was largely drivenby banks seeking a moresignificant market share as theylooked to set up more branches.New entrants to the market, suchas asset management houses,also required key professionals,in particular internal auditorsand legal and compliancespecialists, to help them start up.While we saw relatively littledemand for sales and marketingspecialists, a number of retailluxury companies recruitedqualified boutique salesprofessionals to meet growingdemand from expanding retailstore networks and maintainor grow their brand awareness.With closer cross-strait ties anda strong reliance on China for itsexport market, Taiwan’s economicgrowth will continue to be highlydependent on the economicdevelopment of China. However,the government has begunnegotiations on other deals,such as a free trade agreementwith <strong>Singapore</strong>.

Following the election of a newgovernment, a more stablepolitical climate and recoveryfrom the 2011 mass floodings,foreign firms became moreconfident about investing in thecountry. The result was steadygrowth in the Thai economy,which was also prompted byvarious other factors – includingthe government’s economicstimulus measures, increaseddomestic consumption and acompetitive Thai export industry.These encouragingdevelopments were reflectedin the jobs market. Exportmanufacturing was the secondhighest foreign capitalgeneratingsector in Thailandafter tourism as a result of thehigh demand for Thai goodsaround the world. There wasa strong level of hiring activityin the manufacturing sector,especially in the automotivesegment, due to furtherinvestment growth and risingGDP in Thailand. Engineering,operations, supply chain andlogistics, quality assuranceand R&D professionals wereparticularly in demand, withEnglish language proficiencyessential for all roles.With Thailand poised to be oneof ten countries in a single AseanEconomic Community (AEC)(scheduled to be formallyimplemented by early 2015),it is likely to become betterintegrated in the region and enjoya more competitive businessposition. As part of the AEC,Thailand will have access to anintegrated total consumer baseof over 600 million potentialcustomers. As a result, weanticipate significant growth inthe tourism and hospitality sectorsproviding a boost to the Thaieconomy and jobs market. Wealso anticipate continued demandfor HR, IT, sales and marketing,manufacturing and engineeringand supply chain professionalsover the next 12 months.However, skills shortages arelikely to remain a key challengefor businesses in <strong>2013</strong>. Employerswill need to consider how they canattract high-calibre candidatesto help drive productivity andrevenue when hiring. Employersshould also aim to provide trainingprogrammes to upskill theirworkforce and develop a strongtalent pipeline, while alsoimplementing effective talentretention measures.THAILANDThe government invested heavilyin technology, infrastructure andconstruction projects and thesewere key drivers of economicgrowth. As engineering andconstruction companies, inparticular, sought to assist withthese implementations, they hiredproject engineers, mechanicalengineers and project managersin notable volumes. Due to arise in income and consumerspending, we also saw increasedjob opportunities for marketingprofessionals with digital andonline skills, brand and productmanagers and sales specialistswithin the FMCG, retail andhospitality sectors.<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

With inflation continuingto average 7% annually, theeconomy was a key concernin Vietnam in 2012. In responseto the challenges presentedby this issue, the governmentunveiled a new “three pillar”economic programme in early2012 aimed at restructuringpublic investment, state-ownedenterprises and the bankingsector. Both organisationsand professionals remainedcautious about the jobs marketas they observed theseeconomic changes.Professionals working withinthe FMCG, healthcare, industrialand chemicals industries wereparticularly sought-after dueto the global financial crisis andits impact on the banking sector.We saw notable demand foraccounting professionals withACCA or CPA qualifications atall levels. This demand waslargely as a result of the rapidgrowth of organisations inVietnam as these new businessessought to comply with financialregulations. Sales and marketingprofessionals and HR candidateswere also highly sought-afteras companies concentrated onhiring professionals who couldgenerate revenue.In addition, supply chain andengineering professionals werein demand in the first half of theyear, particularly within thetechnical, engineering andmanufacturing sector. Inparticular, companies recruitedproject engineers and production,procurement, inventory andquality managers as they soughtto improve the efficiency oftheir factories. However, we sawdemand decrease in the secondhalf of 2012 as productionnumbers fell.In line with high inflation rates,professionals typically receivedsalary increases of 15-25%when moving jobs as employerscompeted to attract thebest talent.By comparison, job levels wererelatively low within the financialservices, IT and propertyorganisations as theseemployers started to implementheadcount freezes due to theuncertain global economicenvironment. Most of these firmsinstead focused on maintainingand preserving their existingrevenue and customer base.Although economic growth inVietnam remains moderate withforeign direct investment (FDI)falling year-on-year, the countryremains a popular market forforeign investors. The countryattracted nearly US$1.7 billionin FDI in November 2012, up8% from the same period theprevious year. Given thesedevelopments, we expect joblevels to increase in <strong>2013</strong> asthe economy begins to stabilise.VIetnam<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Walters</strong> Global Salary Survey <strong>2013</strong> 2012

Sentiment among employers andjob seekers was relatively positivein 2012, with vacancy levelsactually increasing in manycases. Although global marketuncertainty presented challengesin the banking and financialservices sector, we saw a relativelyhigh volume of opportunitiesin other areas of the market.In particular, job levels in theengineering and natural resourcessector were higher in 2012 than2011 – with positions in the mining,power generation, water andconstruction industries on therise. We saw specific demand forstrong project managers with aproven background of deliveringaccording to strict budgetaryconstraints and tight timescales.The accountancy jobs marketacross commercial businesseswas also relatively positive, witha greater number of vacanciesavailable than at any point duringthe previous two years.Pharmaceutical, IT and FMCGcompanies were particularly activein the market, although SME-sizedbusinesses were especially keento recruit finance professionals.Both permanent and contractHR job levels were relativelyhigh as businesses sought toimplement new systems (e.g.payroll and ERP systems) asthey looked to reduce costs.With both private practice andin-house legal vacancies on therise, most demand in the legalsector was for qualified attorneyswith 3-8 years’ PQE.However, the banking andfinancial services jobs marketremained more challenging. Inparticular, there was relativelylittle hiring within both largeinternational and smaller localinvestment banks, which weretypically focused on businesscriticalmiddle office recruitment.However, there was greaterdemand in other sectors in themarket. For example, job levelswithin retail banking, insuranceand private wealth businesseswere relatively high.While most salary levels remainedstable during the year, strongcompetition for the best talentdrove these up in someinstances. Because of this,most professionals were receivingincreases of around 10-15% whenmoving roles. Overall marketrates also increased in a numberof instances. For example,management accountantswith 3-5 years’ experience mayreceive an annual salary ofR550k upwards (comparedto R500k in 2012) and a taxprofessional who is 2-4 years’PQE R550k upwards (comparedto R500k in 2012). Similarly, anemployee relations manager canexpect a salary of at least R450kin <strong>2013</strong> (compared to R400k in2012), while a recruitmentmanager can expect R550k(compared to R450k in 2012).Despite undoubted challenges,there continues to be a fair degreeof optimism in the South Africanjobs market.
