Hobby sponsorship and pet insurance are just some of the unusual benefits employers are using to attract an increasing shortage of quality candidates in London.
Maine-Tuckerís 2007 Salary Survey is available from today, and is compiled from records of 2006 vacancies, and discussions with a cross section of our clients.
Last year saw considerable growth in recruitment activity, with opportunities in the finance and business sectors increasing by 10% in the first quarter. Average salaries across all sectors ranged from 15,000 for administrators through to 50,000 for top executive support roles.
With the recent updates to the Age Discrimination and Diversity laws, there has been a notable trend in people remaining in employment for a longer period of time. Benefits are becoming more important to employees, and increasingly varied in scope.
ìIn 2006 on the permanent side we have seen a strong move towards salary packages being benefits led, in contrast to the past where it was mainly financialî. Maine-Tuckerís Managing Director Meeta Sahni explains.
ìOverall, by taking the salaries of our permanent and temporary staff, the office support sector in London has shown robust growth. This has resulted in a more urgent demand for quality support staff.î
