Chief Operations Officer's letter
In celebrating our 25th year in business, Morgan McKinley has compiled our most comprehensive annual Ireland Salary Guide ever for 2014. To compile this guide our Inward Investment team has gathered internal data from a sample of more than 25,000 professionals placed over the past 12 months. Market information, sentiment and predictions were obtained from a combination of employers and hiring managers across a wide range of sectors and industries within the professional permanent and contract recruitment market. This research combined with the publication of our monthly employment monitor has allowed us to detect current and future skills shortages and to obtain benchmarking analysis for professional job seekers and hiring companies alike. Combining this analysis with the more positive economic and government outlook, including the recent exit from the EU IMF bailout, Morgan McKinley is more optimistic for employment in 2014 than in recent years. We anticipate demand to be strongest for ICT, Life Sciences and Financial Services professionals. In addition, multilingual and sales professionals with pan-European/global experience, and marketing experts with online and digital knowledge, will continue to be sought after.
Ireland - Dublin & the Regions While the overall economic outlook appears more optimistic, it is important to highlight key regional differentials that have emerged in our analysis. There is approximately an 8-15% salary differential between Dublin and the regions for a wide range of job categories and levels with a reported lower than average attrition rate in the regions. Employers in the regions outside of Dublin and Cork tend to have a reduced benefits offering, but a significant number of employees have reported a higher satisfaction level when it comes to work-life balance because of a shorter commute to work. On the other hand, where demand for talent is highest, including software development, data analytics, R&D and engineering, we have detected a much lower salary differential between Dublin and the regions.
Benefits For the first time in an annual salary guide we have provided an average outline of benefits by sector. There are a wide range of benefits offered by employers across sectors varying from basic statutory offerings through to a comprehensive suite. One of the conclusive findings from our research is that companies with a strong employer brand, offering good career opportunities and holistic benefits, are as successful in retaining and sourcing the most in-demand talent as employers who offer above market rate. Employers are now examining their reward structures more closely and we have seen increased activity in benchmarking activities. More organisations are hiring compensation and benefits specialists to retain and source the best professionals for their businesses.
FDI Ireland topped the Forbes list in December 2013 as the best place in the world to do business out of 145 countries surveyed, graded across 11 different factors. Ireland was the fourth biggest recipient of US foreign direct investment last year according to a recent report by the Irish American Chamber of Commerce. There are now more than 1,000 overseas companies in Ireland, employing more than 150,000 professionals, emphasising the importance of FDI to the Irish economy and employment market. The IDA has highlighted Ireland’s talent pool as a key attractor for international businesses to establish operations here. Finally, we would like to thank you for your continued support throughout our 25 years in business. We welcome any feedback or questions on our guide. Please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Inward Investment team for more detailed information if required.

Benefit Type Description
Pension Most schemes are now Defined Contribution. The employer will contribute up to 15% and the employee can match this, and in some cases exceed the contributions. A number of organisations continue to offer "defined benefits" schemes. These schemes often do not require a contribution from the employee.
Healthcare Healthcare packages for senior executives vary. In general, the package will cover medical care for the employee and all dependents. Some packages also include dental care although this is less common.
Bonus Bonus packages vary greatly. For senior operations professionals, the bonus is built on personal and business performance and ranges from 20% to 30%. For senior business development and commercial executives, bonus percentages can be 100% of base with no cap on earnings. Many Fortune 500 organisations present bonus payments by way of RSU (restricted stock units) and share options, which are a far more tax efficient vehicle.
Annual Leave 25 - 30 days
Life Assurance 4 times basic salary
Car Allowance €8,000 - €12,000 range
Other LTIPs (long-term incentive plans) whereby an employee can assume a percentage equity in a business over 3 to 5 years.

Accreate is the Executive Search division of the Morgan McKinley Group and is the only Irish executive search firm with extensive international reach through our global office network. Accreate works with progressive organisations on a retained and exclusive basis to find the best talent for critical and transformational leadership roles at board and head of function level, as well as non-executive directors. The Executive Search industry in Ireland continues to gather momentum as general business growth produces a demand for senior and specialist skill sets, specifically across Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Risk Officer positions. The multinational sector, which had remained strong, has now been joined by large indigenous and SME organisations in providing challenging career options for senior professionals.
From a sector perspective, life sciences, technology and supply chain maintained their strong market presence. The global uplift in financial services was well reflected in Ireland with risk & compliance, private equity and capital raising experience all in strong demand. These traditional career pathways have been joined by aircraft leasing and renewable energy to give volume to the executive employment market. Within life sciences, the medical devices sub-sector is the most buoyant with strong demand at a senior level for R&D and process development executives.

The Food & Agricultural sector continues to develop rapidly as global demand increases; it is especially competitive in the senior business development area as companies grapple for global market share. The general shortage of senior talent was evident within the executive search candidate pool during 2013. This required the sourcing of senior level professional talent with the relevant skills and expertise internationally. We are optimistic about opportunities for C-Level executives across a number of sectors in 2014.

Accounting & Finance
2013 was a positive year for Accounting & Finance professionals, both qualified and part-qualified. While Ireland continues to benefit from a significant level of foreign direct investment each year, almost 50% of all new investment is from existing multinationals which continue to grow their presence here. In addition, the IDA reported an 18% rise in first-time investors to Ireland. These growing multinationals (MNCs) and start-ups are providing exciting accounting roles for both newly qualified and experienced ACAs, ACCAs and CIMAs.
Sectors experiencing steady growth throughout 2013 include Software, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare and FMCG and this is expected to continue in 2014. 2013 saw signs of growth in the indigenous SME sector and the companies performing best are typically export driven. There is also encouraging movement in the Construction and Property sectors.

With multinationals remaining the most active in the Accounting & Finance market, skill sets such as multilingual fluency and experience with ERP systems remain in high demand. IT continues to converge with finance and technical systems expertise is continually sought and valued particularly in the manipulation of big data. Big Four-trained accountants remain well positioned to build careers in these organisations and are continually in demand. Ireland is well positioned to benefit from the move to Global Business Service models given its reputation as a location of choice for Shared Services Centres in recent years. Accounting & Finance professionals are taking advantage of the renewed growth in the economy and actively planning their career progression. Salaries remained relatively consistent, with a slight increase in the second half of 2013. Increases have varied within sectors and across companies but 2014 should see a slight improvement across all levels. Senior management professionals have been more in demand in 2013 than in previous years although the supply of professionals still exceeds the demand. The year has also seen an increased focus on IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as SMEs are moving towards international standards.
Contracts Regardless of market retraction in recent years, the contract market within Commerce & Industry has remained solid across all sectors from the part-qualified to the fully qualified levels. The sectors with the highest number of contract requirements in 2013 were Pharmaceuticals, IT and FMCG - trends which we anticipate will continue into 2014. Contracts are also being extended for longer durations than we have seen in previous years, in some cases up to 12 or 24 months. Many of these contracts offer retention bonuses of circa 10% of the annual salary, in order to secure niche talent for the full duration of the contract. There has been an increase in the number of contract workers being offered permanency in the latter part of 2013. We expect this trend to continue as organisations become more confident in Ireland’s economic stability, thus allowing them to make more long-term commitments.

Typical range of benefits for Funds, Insurance, Banking and Financial Services professionals:
During 2013 most hiring in the sector related to the management of banking arrears. This trend is set to continue as the demand for QFA professionals has not abated. While high volume hiring has tapered off somewhat, banks still have a requirement for suitably qualified debt restructuring professionals as the mortgage arrears crisis in Ireland is still critical, with a Central Bank report showing that the level of mortgage arrears in Ireland has almost quadrupled since 2009 and totalled €18.6 billion at the end of June 2013. The increased demand for the banks to outsource their various debt / loan books to third-party loan servicing firms has led to an increase in the demand for professionals with insolvency and debt restructuring experience both within Commercial Banking and Mortgages.
Green shoots in the Banking sector have been evidenced by the increase in demand for professionals with experience in commercial lending, deposit retention and sales, and also new product development within retail banking. Some other positions that experienced an increase in demand from employers across Banking included, Auditors, Compliance Officers, Quantitative Analysts, Project Managers, and Customer Service Officers. There has also been a marked increase in recruiting for Corporate Banking executives due to succession planning and promotions rather than any increase in business.

Contract Contract opportunities in Ireland within Financial Services remained strong throughout 2013 with continued demand forecast in 2014 as global economic conditions improve. Over the past five years the "contractor" resource has become an integral part of the talent acquisition strategy for hiring managers and business leaders due to permanent headcount restrictions, ongoing project requirements and the need for maternity / sickness cover.
A trend that was very prevalent during 2013 and which has become more common practice for organizations is the appointment of new employees for a defined contractual period before committing to permanency. Many financial services institutions have adopted this approach as part of their ongoing hiring strategy. In 2014 we would expect demand to remain high for skilled talent, particularly Project Managers, Accounting and Funds professionals. We also expect to see strong demand for contractors to meet compliance project requirements within the leading banks.

Top 3 most in-demand positions:
1. Fund Accountant
2. Transfer Agency / Investor Services
Professional
3. Project Manager / Business Analyst
Ireland is increasingly seen as a centre of excellence and a shining light in the global Funds industry. Currently 43% of global hedge funds and 60% of EU hedge funds are under administration in Ireland. Almost all of the world’s major fund service providers have a presence in Ireland, combining local excellence with global reach. The Government’s commitment to the competitiveness and ongoing development of the funds industry reflects its importance as a growth sector. Ireland is becoming the fastest growing UCITS domicile and as a result of this continued growth, demand for talented professionals increased in 2013 and this positive trend and upswing in opportunities is set to continue in 2014. The demand for Fund Operation professionals and specifically Fund Accountants and Transfer Agents remained high for both permanent and contract requirements in 2013. This demand is set to grow in 2014 with operational opportunities across hedge, UCITS and private equity funds. Indicative of the changing and ever-evolving nature of the industry is the increase in hiring of both Project Managers and Business Analysts. These professionals are hired for a myriad of projects including client on-boarding, process off-shoring and system implement-ation and to cater for changes incurred by the introduction of new regulatory requirements such as AIFMD. The regulatory changes have also led to an increase in the demand for Compliance and Trustee professionals to provide oversight and advice to business partners.
Product Development Managers are also in demand in this sector as companies try to capitalise on increased regulatory requirements by offering clients additional services to add value to their business and that of their clients. Despite the high cost of compliance, regulatory changes such as AIFMD will help consolidate and grow Ireland’s position in the Funds industry in 2014. Outsourcing and off-shoring increased in 2013, with a large number of fund administrators continuing to move manual functions such as reconciliations and trade processing to offshore locations. Dublin is gradually transitioning as it becomes more focused as a centre for oversight and client services. The pool of well-educated Funds professionals in Ireland is strong. As demand increases and more individuals look to progress their career, competition for the best roles will increase significantly. The improved climate of optimism has been marginally reflected in salary increases and improved benefits and this is set to continue within the Funds industry in 2014.

While the Insurance sector has remained quite steady in its hiring trends throughout 2013, there have been slight changes in the specific skill sets in demand. As a result of the introduction of the minimum competency code by the Central Bank in 2011, which revised the educational requirements placed on those in advisory roles in the insurance and financial services industry, employers now expect insurance professionals to have obtained relevant qualifications such as the QFA, CIP and ACII. For the first time in a number of years there has been a marked increase in the hiring of Life & Pensions Administrators. This reflects the positive returns achieved by Irish pension funds which have grown by 16.6% in 2013. We have seen an increased trend in brokers hiring specialist professionals who can offer financial advise and wealth management expertise. Within General Insurance, there has been an increased demand for Claims professionals with motor liability and health insurance experience, particularly those with the CIP qualification. There is no reason why this should diminish in 2014 with insurance companies gearing up to deal with an influx of claims due to weather-related incidents across Ireland in recent quarters. Commercial Underwriters with strong technical skills and broker development experience have also been in demand as insurers look to enhance relationships with their broker network.
Project Managers are in high demand in this sector as companies are looking to improve processes/systems and procedures across their business to improve employee productivity. Salaries have remained broadly in line with previous years with some employers offering salary increases in line with inflation; however, there has not been large-scale increases in salaries across the sector.

Tax Overall the employment market for Tax professionals in Ireland has improved throughout 2013, particularly in the latter part of the year. There is a growing demand within practice (primarily Big Four and Top 10 firms) and in-house (across all industry sectors) for qualified Tax professionals with compliance and international tax experience. Over recent months companies have been under increasing pressure to demonstrate full compliance with the letter and the spirit of tax regulations and this has had a significant impact on the tax recruitment market. There is more focus on day-to-day activity as opposed to tax planning, which means there has been a rise in demand for professionals at more junior levels.
As organisations set out to demonstrate that they are fully compliant across the board, we are also likely to see a growing demand for professionals with knowledge of tax technologies, i.e. software that sits on top of accounting systems to ensure compliance, identify savings and make the overall tax function as efficient as possible. With globalisation and increasing international job mobility, there is growing demand for qualified international tax and transfer pricing professionals with knowledge of the regulations in more than one jurisdiction.

A consequence of the recent media attention in corporate taxation is that companies are less aggressive in their tax planning, resulting in a slow-down in demand for senior level professionals. The contract market has been reasonably strong mainly driven by budget restrictions on permanent headcount. Historically, tax professionals would have only been employed on a permanent basis. However an emerging trend witnessed throughout the year has been the increase in the number of contracting roles being offered by many of the multinational groups. The need for compliance at particular times of the year and the flexibility of an additional contracting resource is driving this demand. An additional trend witnessed in 2013 has been the emergence of newly created positions within the Top 20 and medium-sized practices for managers in Corporate Tax. This is the result of practices identifying the potential value add of having a corporate tax offering in addition to the traditional service lines such as audit, accounts preparation, income tax or payroll services. Salaries and benefits in Tax have remained steady in recent years, however we anticipate an increase in salaries in 2014 as demand for professionals with the necessary experience exceeds the supply. !Practice 2013 saw an increase in hiring across Professional Accountancy firms. Big 4 and Top 10 firms increased headcount with Assurance continuing to be the main area for new hires. There is a particular shortage of suitably qualified job seekers at manager level and above for these roles. This has lead to experienced professionals receiving multiple offers. Graduate level hiring has increased to match and in some cases exceed pre-recession levels. We would expect this trend to continue into 2014. !Following the large cuts in graduate recruitment in 2009 and 2010, coupled with people choosing to travel upon completion of training contracts, there has been a noticeable decrease in the current availability of newly qualified accountants. !!
Consulting roles in Risk Advisory, Finance Transformation and IT have also shown growth throughout 2013 with many employers in the multi-national and large PLC space looking to re-position themselves for growth and improve upon existing processes and efficiencies. The small to medium-sized practice market, which bore the brunt of the difficulties over the past few years, has started to show some moderate but encouraging signs of growth. New jobs are being created with firms position-ing themselves for expansion. An emerging trend is for smaller firms to offer a more consultative approach to their clients. This is driven by the demand by owner manager businesses for real time commercial information and analysis. Latest statistics published by insolvencyjournal.ie show corporate insolvencies down by 20% between January to November 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 and receiverships were down 12% year-on-year. The demand for Corporate Recovery and Restructuring Specialists has evolved with many of these professionals now working to support and restructure businesses. Our prediction for 2014 is for a continued moderate increase in hiring amongst Professional Accountancy firms. Legal 2013 was a positive year for legal professionals. Solicitors with at least 2yrs pqe experience in personal & commercial litigation, banking and finance, corporate, IP and property were in demand. The increase in demand for commercial property solicitors particularly in Dublin looks set to continue in 2014. Legal advisors, legal counsel and corporate lawyers were in demand within banking, insurance and funds. While professional with experience in advising on insolvency, restructuring, compliance, regulatory requirements, litigation & banking law also saw increased opportunities coming to the market. This demand is likely to be ongoing during 2014. Solicitors with a strong background in drafting, reviewing & negotiating contracts will remain in demand in 2014 in the technology section as business activity increased substantially both domestically and globally.

The main clusters of employers hiring IT professionals, particularly for Web and Mobile Development teams, are primarily in the Dublin and Cork regions. Ireland has continued to thrive throughout 2013 as a global destination of choice for software development. There has been significant increase in demand for Javascript developers, particularly with popular frameworks such as Knockout, Backbone, Angular and Ember. JavaScript is being embraced as its own fully functional language and it is expected that a true JavaScript developer will be amongst the most sought after candidate in the IT market for 2014.
We have seen a marked increase in companies investing in responsively designed web applications. Technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3 can offer a similarly impressive user experience, when compared to the often more expensive options of native or hybrid web applications. Native development is also particularly popular, with many companies growing impressive development teams across technologies such as iOS, Android and Windows Mobile.

Opportunities for senior managers and Programme Managers within Financial Services and semi-state organisations increased in demand in the last year which looks set to continue in 2014. Open Source test tools and the functionality of Selenium Webdriver specifically have led to a wide increase in demand for QA Engineers with scripting in both Java and C# among other common languages. Regionally there has been a strong demand for java developers, systems administrators and project managers. The emergence of ‘big data’ has seen a significant increase in demand for roles such as Reports Developers and Data Analysts. We are seeing a trend of Irish IT professionals who have been working abroad returning to Ireland, as the Irish ICT sector continues to improve. The positive outlook looks set to continue in 2014.
The supply of skilled Web and Mobile Developers in Ireland is increasing steadily. This is due to a number of factors including: •! Passionate software developers embracing new web
and mobile technologies
•! Increased Government investment in ICT programmes and third-level courses for current and future in-demand skills
•! A steady immigration of international IT professionals locating to Ireland to avail of the ever-growing opportunities
Overall, Ireland boasts an exceptional global talent pool across high-demand skill sets such as iOS (Xcode and Objective-C), Android, Windows Phone,HTML5, PhoneGap, Titanium, Javascript, Python, Ruby and PHP.
IT functions are increasingly looking for blended skill sets with a mixture of development and support in high demand. This dual skill set is enabling IT production teams to deliver a product more efficiently and effectively.

Engineering remains a flagship sector for job growth with the Government recently publishing plans for 20,000 additional jobs in the Manufacturing sector by 2016. Engineering had a positive year in 2013 with strong recruitment trends witnessed among both indigenous and multinational clusters across a number of manufacturing and R&D-focused sectors including Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Food & Beverage and ICT. Key in-demand positions predicted for 2014 include Quality (QA/QC) and Product Design (NPD/NPI), Mechanical Engineers, Validation Engineers, Quality Engineers, Supplier Quality Engineers and Chemical Process Engineers.
Lean Continuous Improvement Engineers and Automation Engineers will be in demand as companies expand their manufacturing capabilities, developing and adopting new technologies in order to enhance sustainability and productivity. The increased need for these skills, however, is likely to exceed supply therefore professionals with expertise and training in this area will be in high demand. This will inevitably drive up salary expectations.

Supply Chain
During 2013 the market saw an improvement in the demand for Supply Chain professionals, with the final quarter seeing an increased demand for professionals with strong inventory management experience, particularly those with a background in lean methodologies such as JIT, Six Sigma and Kanban. Employers will continue to capitalise on the use of data analytics in order to monitor and improve supply chain modelling and to manage/enhance supplier-to-customer ratio efficiency.
The demand in FMCG, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device industries will result in ongoing development of new production lines and product ranges coming to market. This will ensure a continued demand for Production Supervisors/Managers, Buyers, Planners, Purchasing Managers and Supply Chain Analysts. The demand for professional job seekers with experience of working in a virtual or SSC environment continues to rise. This will be a much sought-after skill set into 2014, as supply chain globalisation continues apace.

With the announcement of an €8 billion government investment in Scientific Research & Development (R&D) it is expected that there will be increased demand for professionals in areas such as Process Development, R&D Chemists, Regulatory Affairs specialists and Development Chemists. Statistics indicate that by 2015 50% of all Pharma-ceutical sector functions will be focused on biotech-nology. This will be reflected in a corresponding demand for Biochemists, Microbiology Analysts and Analytical Chemists. This funding will also generate increased university and industry collaboration on R&D projects, with the potential to create more entry-level positions for science graduates.
The demand for Quality, Compliance & Regulatory Affairs Specialists is growing both in Dublin and regionally due to a strong focus on R&D activities within Pharmaceutical and Medical Device companies. The transition of Quality Control professionals into Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs is expected to continue in 2014 due to an increased focus on virtual operations in Biotechnology.

Sales & Marketing
The Marketing landscape has evolved significantly in recent years with new roles emerging in line with technology developments and changing consumer habits. The demand for Digital Marketing professionals will be the most sought-after skill set within Marketing in 2014. Digital Marketing roles are becoming more specialised and niche. For example, new positions include ‘growth hackers’ - professionals who are very commercially focused, typically in a B2B digital environment such as applications companies.
The trend towards greater focus on mobile and geo-location will drive up demand for job seekers with these skills. Big data will be a significant growth area and we anticipate a high demand for professionals with relevant experience in 2014. Content is key to Marketing in both B2C and B2B and this is creating continuous demand for content creators with experience in writing coupled with the technical skills necessary to create videos, flash, graphics and infographics.
Throughout 2013 we saw an increase in demand for roles such as Inside Sales, Inside Sales with Languages, Field Sales, Sales Manager and Business Development Sales in Cork and across the regions within the Software, FMCG & SME sectors. Furthermore, there has been steady demand for Marketing Managers, Online Marketing Managers, Public Relations and Communications professionals. There will be a continued need for strong Business Development professionals with pan-European sales experience due to the significant number of multinationals who have set up or are currently setting up their EMEA sales hubs in Ireland.

The demand for certain HR categories during 2013 looks set to continue into 2014. Key areas which have experienced and continue to experience growth include Talent Acquisition, Compensation & Benefits, HR Analytics and Organisational Effectiveness. Employers are seeking HR professionals at all levels with specific industry experience and strong knowledge of their specialist sector. Multinational companies and PLCs continue to build their in-house recruitment capabilities. Trends indicate a growing preference to offer these positions as contract roles, as opposed to permanent positions, as companies execute high-volume recruitment drives.
Compensation and Benefits professionals will continue to see their skill set in demand as companies are evaluating and restructuring their reward structure to attract and retain the best talent. Demand currently exceeds supply of these professionals, driving a consequent upward pressure on salaries. Over the past few years the demand for HR professionals outside the main urban locations has been negligible. However, in recent months this trend has begun to reverse. This is as a result of modest growth from some SMEs, increased demand from the Agricultural sector in addition to growth in the Medical Device/Life Sciences and service sectors.

Human Resources cont’d…
There is a continued differential in salary levels between MNCs and domestic SMEs, particularly in regional locations. Smaller companies are struggling to compete with salary levels and benefit packages offered by larger MNCs. As a result, some employers are choosing to recruit senior HR professionals on a part-time basis as a cost effective way to bring talent on board. Key specialisms that are forecast to become more critical in the coming months include Organisational Effectiveness and Change Management. Professionals with experience in these areas are in short supply. However there has been a move by HR professionals to up-skill in this area as they recognise the skill sets which are most in demand from employers.
There has been noticeable growth in the number of contract opportunities available for HR professionals. One positive trend has been the strong tendency for companies to extend contracts beyond the anticipated term or convert the contract to a permanent position. There has also been an increase in the duration of contracts up to 24-36 months. Graduate output in this area remains strong. However the majority of graduates are required to further specialise at Masters or Diploma level in order to gain the relevant HR qualifications desired by employers.

Office Support
The increase in demand for Office Support Team Administrators/Secretaries primarily within the Financial Services and Professional Services sectors that we saw in 2013 looks likely to continue in 2014. These roles offer increased career progression opportunities for professional job seekers. A similar uplift in demand for senior-level Executive Assistants also looks set to continue with salaries for these roles highest within the multinational sector. With more positive economic conditions emerging there is likely to be an increased demand in 2014 for Order Management administrative specialists, most significantly in the FMCG sector. These positions are commanding higher salaries than standard Customer Services positions with relevant experience required. The strong demand for these candidates will proved a retention challenge for some employers.
During 2013 there was a reduction in the demand for specialist Receptionists with many employers incorporating additional duties into this traditional role such as corporate administration, PA or office management duties. We would expect this trend to continue across both permanent and temporary hiring for these roles. Contracting in office support remained bouyant during 2013 with many employers utilising this resource to cover sick leave, maternity leave and additional work load demands. One trend which emerged was the demand for “temps” to fill very short term assignments for example one day to one week. This type of demand has not seen in several years. This trend is likely to continue into 2014 as renewed confidence returns to the market.
