MAlthough the UK jobs market continued to be challenging in 2012, there were still some encouraging signs. Vacancies were being released in most disciplines and businesses were still looking to exploit growth opportunities. This, along with a continuing focus on maximising efficiencies and regulatory pressure, were the primary drivers behind employers’ recruitment strategies. Overall, though, general job levels remained relatively low in comparison to those witnessed pre-2008.
Hiring activity occurred across a variety of industry sectors, with retail, telecommunications, technology and AIM-listed natural resources businesses all performing relatively strongly. The London insurance market was also boosted by the announcement of Lloyd’s ‘Vision 2025’ programme, which outlined the firm’s commitment to growing premium incomes in established markets, further internationalisation of its broker and underwriting networks and the setup of a new overseas hub. In addition, we saw some demand from professional/business services, digital, online gaming and publishing firms. Those businesses that were performing the strongest typically had a significant international and/or online presence.
Despite challenging market conditions, employers were still seeking to hire professionals who could identify growth opportunities. Commercially-focused accountants, talented sales professionals and marketing specialists who could offer discernable ROI were all sought-after.
Within the banking sector, most recruitment was prompted by banks focusing on business-critical replacement hires.
There were some exceptions to this and growth hiring was still taking place, primarily in response to regulatory pressure. But uncertainty in Europe led large banks to become more cautious. The investment management jobs market was more positive though, particularly in the first half of 2012 and we continued to see some good opportunities in both operations and finance among firms operating in this sector.
The jobs market outside of London continued to be impacted by big back office functions relocating to the Midlands and the North-West. There are a number of examples across a variety of sectors, including financial services, transport, retail and leisure businesses, with these transitions creating new roles in these regions.
Overall salary levels remain consistent, with few roles paying significantly more than last year. However, we have seen some rises in isolated areas. Increases were typically rare though and only evident in the most in- demand areas, with professionals more likely to receive uplifts when changing job.
Employers are likely to remain conservative in 2013 as they seek further clarity of the global economic climate. Reducing costs and maximising efficiencies will remain a driver behind organisations’ recruitment strategies, with many also keen to hire professionals who can help them to generate revenue and offer strong ROI. The best talent will remain highly sought-after, meaning firms will need to remain flexible on salary and implement efficient hiring processes to be successful in securing the highest-calibre professionals.

Market�OverviewFinance�job�levels�across�the�banking�andfinancial�services�sector�remained�relativelylow�throughout�2012,�although�there�weresome�spikes�in�activity�at�certain�points.�Whilethe�first�half�of�the�year�proved�busier�thanthe�second�half�in�the�contract�jobs�market,permanent�vacancies�spiked�in�quarters�twoand�three�before�trailing�off�towards�year�end.Most�employers�focused�on�business-criticalhiring,�with�the�majority�of�recruitment�a�resultof�firms�looking�to�replace�staff�who�left�or�tosupport�ongoing�regulatory�requirements.
Cost�remained�a�key�focus�and�was�drivingactivity�in�the�market.�Employers�werescrutinising�exactly�how�and�where�theycould�improve�efficiencies�and�were�hiringprofessionals�who�could�support�theseactivities.�Specifically,�we�saw�demand�forfinance�professionals�with�cost�analytics,�costcontrol�and�cost�finance�business�partneringskills.
In�addition,�we�witnessed�a�steady�flow�ofcontract�core�accounting�vacancies�as�firmssought�professionals�to�support�year�endfinancial�reporting,�budgetary�requirementsand�general�ledger�reconciliations�activity.Specifically,�financial�and�managementaccountants�continued�to�be�recruited�withinsmaller�employers.
As�regulatory�requirements�continued�toincrease,�this�drove�some�hiring�in�the�market.Specifically,�firms�were�focusing�on�how�to
interpret�FSA�guidelines�regarding�capital�andliquidity�reporting�and�were�seeking�to�improvetheir�understanding�of�their�risk-weightedassets�and�business�funding�costs.�Changesin�financial�reporting�standards�(specificallyin�terms�of�hedge�accounting�rules�and�howto�account�for�derivatives)�made�reportingand�valuing�complex�structures�and�productareas�an�ongoing�challenge.�As�a�result,accounting�professionals�with�experiencein�both�regulatory�and�technical�accountingdisciplines�continued�to�be�in�demand.
Offshoring,�nearshoring�and�relocationcontinued�to�be�key�themes�in�the�finance�jobsmarket�within�a�number�of�banking�institutions.This�trend�led�to�demand�for�product�andfinancial�control�professionals�to�act�in�a�CFOor�analysis�capacity�on�a�contract�basis.�Theseindividuals�were�typically�required�to�assist�inup-skilling�the�offshore�teams�and�ultimatelyensure�understanding�of�the�key�processesinvolved.�When�hiring�for�these�roles,�firmstypically�looked�for�a�thorough�understandingof�the�reasoning�behind�a�transition�and�theoverall�aims�of�the�business.�Because�of�thisoffshoring�activity,�however,�there�is�noticeablyless�demand�for�newly-qualified�accountantson�a�permanent�basis�in�London�than�therewas�three�years�ago.
By�contrast,�finance�professionals�specialisingin�structured�and�exotic�products�continueto�be�sought-after�because�these�trades�aretoo�complex�to�be�managed�offshore�(i.e.�theyrequire�more�intense�analysis�and�interactionwith�the�front�office).�In�many�cases,�theskill�set�firms�are�seeking�for�these�roles�hasevolved.�For�example,�product�controllers�areincreasingly�required�to�possess�thorough�riskand�regulatory�knowledge.�These�roles�arebecoming�more�complex�as�organisationsseek�finance�professionals�who�can�assume�avariety�of�responsibilities.
The�majority�of�salaries�remained�stable,however,�increases�have�been�evident�in�some
key�areas.�Due�to�tighter�UK�immigrationlaws,�fewer�newly-qualified�accountantschoose�to�relocate�to�the�UK.�As�a�result,there�was�significant�competition�for�the�bestprofessionals�at�this�level,�with�some�receivinga�premium�when�moving�roles.�However,few�professionals�who�moved�jobs�receivedvast�increases�when�doing�so�-�be�it�on�apermanent�or�contract�basis.�Most�instead�areprimarily�seeking�improved�prospects�and/or�achange�of�environment.
Outlook�for�2013After�job�levels�remained�relatively�lowthroughout�2012,�we�anticipate�increaseddemand�in�the�first�half�of�2013�in�some�keyhiring�areas�as�new�budgets�are�signed�off�inthe�new�year.�Offshoring�initiatives�are�likely�tolead�to�continued�demand�for�both�contractand�permanent�staff�in�London�to�supportthis�activity,�with�firms�seeking�candidateswith�a�more�analytical/business-facingprofile.�With�continuing�wage�inflation�in�thesubcontinent,�the�long-term�overall�costbenefits�of�offshoring�is�uncertain.
Regulatory�knowledge�will�also�remain�a�keyskill�set.�In�particular,�pressure�to�comply�withBasel�III�and�COREP�also�means�reportingspecialists�with�this�knowledge�will�continue�tobe�sought-after.�As�firms�seek�to�strengthencontrols�throughout�the�bank,�internal�auditorswill�also�be�hired.
Interestingly,�a�number�of�firms�are�beginningto�specialise�in�certain�markets�and/ordisciplines�rather�than�attempting�to�be‘one-stop�shops’�for�all�types�of�banking.This�has�particularly�been�the�case�in�some�ofthe�mid-sized�US�banks,�with�many�of�theseinstitutions�returning�significant�increases�inrevenue�and�gaining�market�share.�As�a�result,these�firms�are�likely�to�be�particulary�active�inthe�recruitment�market�in�2013.

Our�commerce�division�recruits�across�abroad�range�of�roles,�from�newly-qualified�andtransactional�staff�to�chief�financial�officers,on�both�a�permanent�and�contract�basis.�Weservice�a�range�of�businesses,�from�FTSE�andAIM-listed�companies�to�SMEs.�The�primarysectors�we�specialise�in�include:
• Aerospace�and�defence• Engineering• Healthcare• IT/hi-tech/telecommunications• Leisure�and�hospitality• Manufacturing• Marketing/PR/advertising• Media• Natural�resources/oil�and�gas• Not-for-profit• Professional�and�support�services• Real�estate/property• Retail/FMCG• Security• Utilities
Market�OverviewThe�jobs�market�remained�challenging�in�2012,with�businesses�relatively�conservative�in�theirhiring�approaches�because�of�wider�economicconditions.�However,�vacancies�were�stillbeing�released�as�some�sectors�performedrelatively�strongly,�with�demand�existing�atspecific�levels.
In�particular,�we�saw�a�strong�commitmentto�hire�at�the�junior�part-qualified�level.Specifically,�credit�control�professionalsand�payroll�specialists�were�sought-after�tocover�intense�workloads�in�these�areas.�Afterstripping�back�their�accounts-payable�teams�inrecent�years,�some�businesses�were�trying�torebuild�these�divisions�as�workloads�increased.Finance�and�business�analysts�were�alsosought-after�at�this�level�as�employers�soughtforward-looking�accounting�professionals�toidentify�cost-saving�and�growth�opportunities.
While�there�were�fewer�senior�vacancies,we�saw�some�permanent�recruitment�atthe�middle�management�level�(i.e.�financeprofessionals�with�5�years’�PQE).�In�particular,publishing�businesses�were�proving�theswitch�to�digital�media�could�be�profitableand�were�seeking�finance�professionals�whocould�explore�expansion�opportunities�in�thisarea.�Overall,�however,�most�demand�was�forgroup-focused�roles,�with�employers�primarilyconcentrating�on�the�day-to-day�running�oftheir�businesses.�Media�companies�were�alsoseeking�analysts�on�a�permanent�basis�as�theyattempted�to�identify�business�improvementand�growth�opportunities�that�existed�in�themarket.�However,�some�employers�werebeing�unrealistic�in�the�salary�offers�they�weremaking�for�these�professionals�who�weretypically�aware�of�their�worth.
Accounting�professionals�with�2�-�3�years’PQE�were�most�sought-after�on�a�contractbasis,�with�employers�especially�keen�tosecure�candidates�with�experience�of�theLondon�market,�reporting�expertise�andstatutory�knowledge.�FP&A�specialistswere�also�being�hired�as�employers�soughtindividuals�who�could�support�businessdecisions�based�on�minimising�cost,�drivingefficiencies�and�generating�profitability.
While�we�did�not�see�notable�evidence�ofgrowth�within�larger�employers,�there�weremore�positive�signs�in�the�SME�marketas�smaller�businesses�sought�to�expandtheir�operations.�This�was�particularlythe�case�in�companies�offering�serviceslinked�to�social�media�or�technologicalimprovements�that�either�drive�efficienciesor�offer�a�strong�return�on�investment.�Forroles�in�these�businesses,�employers�weretypically�seeking�professionals�who�were�1-�4�years’�PQE�with�extensive�managementor�financial�accounting�experience,�a�CV�thatdemonstrates�progression�througout�a�careerand�a�strong�educational�background.
In�the�contract�market,�assignment�lengthswere�longer�than�they�had�been�in�the�pastand�were�lasting�up�to�18�months�in�somecases.�Many�businesses�were�hiring�primarilyon�a�fixed-term�contract�and�temp-to-permbasis,�reflecting�the�increased�caution�thatexisted�in�the�market.
Salary�levels�remained�relatively�consistent,with�newly-qualified�ACAs�typically�continuingto�receive�£45�-�48k�a�year�and�daily�ratesof�around�£250.�However,�we�saw�someincreases�at�the�part�and�non-qualified�level,with�businesses�willing�to�be�flexible�for�qualitycandidates,�many�of�whom�were�receivingmultiple�offers�when�applying�for�jobs.�Toillustrate�the�growth�in�this�area,�a�payrollmanager�will�receive�a�basic�salary�of�up�to£75k�in�2013�(compared�to�£70k�in�2012),while�a�payroll�officer�will�earn�up�to�£30k(compared�to�£28k�in�2012).�Professionalswith�specialist�skill�sets,�such�as�systemsaccountants�and�internal�audit�specialists,�arealso�still�commanding�a�premium.
Outlook�for�2013While�the�jobs�market�is�likely�to�remainchallenging,�demand�will�continue�for�financeprofessionals�who�can�drive�efficiencies�andgenerate�profitability.�In�particular,�businesseswill�seek�professionals�who�can�assist�withexploring�expansion�opportunities�in�themarket.�As�a�result,�analysts�are�likely�to�be�indemand.�We�also�anticipate�job�levels�at�thepart-qualified�level�to�remain�relatively�high�asbusinesses�seek�professionals�to�carry�out�keytransactional�tasks.

Our�insurance�division�recruits�permanent,temporary�and�contract�finance,�actuarial,underwriting,�claims�and�broking�specialistsfor�a�variety�of�sectors�within�the�insurancemarket�including�general�insurance,�Lloyd’smarket,�reinsurance,�life�insurance,�brokingand�pensions.�The�division�recruits�across�alllevels�of�seniority�from�entry�to�executive-levelappointments.
Market�OverviewThe�insurance�jobs�market�remained�relativelystrong�in�2012,�primarily�because�the�sectoris�largely�resilient�to�wider�market�conditions.Although�this�has�been�typical�of�the�industryduring�the�downturn,�2012�also�proved�a�farmore�positive�year�for�the�sector�than�2011when�the�volume�of�claims�was�particularlyhigh�due�to�the�number�of�natural�disastersthat�occurred�and,�few�firms�were�focusing�onrecruitment�as�a�result.�In�addition,�increasedinter-company�M&A�activity�within�the�industryled�to�a�rise�in�job�levels�as�firms�looked�tointegrate�their�claims,�underwriting�and�financesystems�and�required�additional�support�to�doso.
The�London�insurance�market�was�alsoboosted�by�a�variety�of�positive�developmentsthroughout�the�year.�In�particular,�theannouncement�of�Lloyd’s�‘Vision�2025’programme�affirmed�the�firm’s�commitmentto�growing�premium�incomes�in�establishedmarkets,�further�internationalisation�of�itsbroker�and�underwriting�networks�and�thesetup�of�a�new�overseas�hub.�For�its�part,�thegovernment�has�pledged�to�keep�regulationfirm�while�also�supporting�the�continuedgrowth�of�insurers�writing�business�in�theUK.�At�the�same�time,�AON�is�to�move�itsheadquarters�to�London�from�Chicago,providing�a�major�boost�for�the�industry.
Although�overall�job�levels�were�high,�thecontract�recruitment�market�was�slightlynegatively�impacted�by�capital�adequacyrequirement�and�the�extension�of�the�Solvency
II�deadline.�As�a�result,�most�demand�forcontractors�was�driven�by�typical�reportingrequirements.�We�saw�more�variety�in�terms�ofthe�types�of�professionals�sought-after�in�thepermanent�jobs�market.�However,�individualswith�specific�insurance�sector�experience�wereconsistently�sought-after.
Among�insurance�firms,�we�continuedto�see�significant�demand�for�Syndicateaccountants�due�to�the�specialist�experiencethese�candidates�possessed,�while�expenseaccountants�were�sought-after�as�firms�soughtto�closely�monitor�their�overall�expenditure�andestablish�potential�efficiencies.�M&A�activityin�the�insurance�sector�has�led�to�demandfor�finance�business�partners�as�employersseek�to�clearly�forecast�plans�for�the�next�twoto�three�years.�Newly-qualified�professionalsfrom�an�insurance�audit�background�and�IFRSand/or�US/UK�GAAP�experience�also�continueto�be�sought-after.
As�firms�placed�a�high�value�on�the�abilityto�accurately�predict�risk�in�the�currentclimate,�demand�for�actuaries�remainedstrong.�Specialist�experience�in�the�propertyand�casualty,�life�insurance�and�reinsurancesectors�was�particularly�valued�for�these�roles.
The�jobs�market�for�underwriters�remainedpositive,�with�demand�especially�strong�forprofessionals�with�3�-�8�years’�experienceand�relevant�industry�knowledge�(in�particular,commercial�property�and�speciality�linesincluding�terrorism�and�political�risk).�Atthe�junior�level,�firms�were�increasinglyfocusing�on�hiring�university-educatedprofessionals�with�strong�mathematics�orbusiness�backgrounds�interested�in�pursuingthe�CII�qualification.�Significantly,�teams�ofunderwriters�with�expertise�in�specific�areascontinued�to�move�en�masse�from�one�insurerto�another.�This�was�especially�prevalent�fordivisions�specialising�in�certain�areas,�such�asagricultural�reinsurance�and�terrorism�risk.
We�saw�little�demand�for�claims�professionalsdue�to�the�lack�of�activity�in�this�areacompared�to�2011.�In�contract,�the�brokingmarket�remained�relatively�stable�and�therecontinued�to�be�notable�demand�in�this�areafor�professionals�with�specialist�skill�sets�(e.g.treaty�reinsurance�placement).
The�majority�of�salaries�remained�relativelyconsistent,�although�we�did�see�slightincreases�at�the�part-qualified�level.Professionals�moving�jobs�were�typicallyreceiving�pay�rises�of�7-12%�when�doing�so.However,�the�majority�of�candidates�wereprimarily�attracted�by�career�progression�andimproved�lifestyle.
Outlook�for�2013In�addition�to�the�encouraging�developmentshighlighted,�clients�are�increasingly�lookingto�place�more�risk�in�the�Lloyd’s�market�andextend�the�lines�of�business�they�underwrite.Because�of�this�and�the�general�positivity�inthe�insurance�industry,�we�expect�job�levels�tosteadily�increase�throughout�2013.�Syndicateaccountants�will�remain�in�particularly�shortsupply�and�high�demand,�while�expenseprofessionals�will�also�be�sought-after�as�firmscontinue�to�scrutinise�costs.

In�the�permanent�jobs�market,�there�was�littledemand�at�the�senior�level�(£75k+).�However,we�saw�a�number�of�firms�recruiting�junioraccountants�(e.g.�accounts�assistants)�as�theysought�to�fill�positions�vacated�by�individualspromoted�internally.�Cost�continued�to�be�akey�focus�for�many�employers�due�to�marketconditions,�which�created�some�demand�forfinance�professionals�skilled�in�this�area�withstrong�business�partnering�experience.

Custody/Security�ServicesWhile�permanent�job�levels�remained�lowwithin�the�custody�and�security�servicessector,�contract�vacancy�levels�wererelatively�high.�In�particular,�contract�fundaccountants�specialising�in�unit�trusts�wereespecially�sought-after.�Where�they�werehiring�permanent�staff,�firms�were�seekingprofessionals�in�forward-looking�roles.Specifically,�we�saw�some�demand�for�FP&Aspecialists�and�management�accountants�asemployers�looked�for�individuals�who�coulddrive�strategy.
Hedge�FundsAs�in�custody/security�services,�hedge�fundsprimarily�focused�on�replacement�hires�andwe�saw�little�growth�in�this�space.�For�thevacancies�that�did�exist,�firms�were�typicallylooking�for�qualified�professionals�with�industryexperience�and�strong�technical�productknowledge.
Private�WealthWhile�permanent�job�levels�within�the�privatewealth�management�sector�remained�relativelylow,�increased�regulatory�pressure�led�todemand�for�contractors.�To�support�ongoingRetail�Distribution�Review�(RDR)�initiativesacross�the�industry�(seeking�to�createincreased�transparency�on�fees�paid,�forexample),�we�saw�notable�demand�for�financeprofessionals�with�strong�modelling�skills.
Private�EquityPrivate�equity�was�the�most�significant�growtharea�in�the�investment�management�financejobs�market�as�these�firms�sought�to�exploitexpansion�opportunities.�As�a�result,�hiringoccurred�on�both�a�contract�and�permanentbasis�as�they�sought�to�further�analysefund�performance.�Specifically,�we�sawdemand�for�general�accounting�and�financialanalysis-focused�roles�at�the�newly-qualified
level,�with�firms�placing�a�significant�emphasison�management�information,�cost�andbusiness�partnership�experience.�Theprivate�equity�market�retains�an�element�ofexclusivity�and�attracts�a�wide�range�of�interestamong�job�seekers.�For�their�part,�employerscontinued�to�focus�on�securing�the�highestcalibre�candidates�available�when�hiring�andplaced�significant�emphasis�on�retaining�theirbest�staff.
Asset�ManagersWe�saw�most�hiring�from�larger�assetmanagers,�with�smaller�firms�far�less�activein�the�recruitment�market.�As�they�sought�toanalyse�processes�and�implement�cost-savingprojects,�finance�business�partners�withcompetent�accounting�skills�and�strong�clientfacing�experience�were�sought-after.
SalariesSalaries�remained�consistent,�with�littlemovement�occurring�in�market�rates.�However,an�exception�to�this�was�for�contract�financeprofessionals�with�modelling�skills�andexperience�of�providing�support�for�RDRinitiatives,�with�these�individuals�securingdaily�rates�of�£450+�a�day.�When�hiring�forpermanent�roles,�buy�side�firms�emphasisedthe�higher�bonus�potential�typically�on�offer�incomparison�to�investment�banks�in�order�tosecure�their�preferred�candidate.
Outlook�for�2013Recruitment�trends�are�expected�to�remainconsistent�during�2013,�with�the�jobs�marketcontinuing�to�be�driven�by�specific�businesspriorities.�In�particular,�custodians�are�likely�tocontinue�to�seek�contractors�specialising�inunit�trusts.�Similarly,�ongoing�RDR�initiatives�inthe�private�wealth�sector�means�that�financeprofessionals�with�experience�in�this�area�andstrong�modelling�skills�will�continue�to�be�indemand�and�attract�a�premium.

Our�compliance�division�focuses�on�placingcompliance�professionals�from�graduatethrough�to�director�level�in�permanent,temporary�and�contract�roles�across�thefinancial�services�sector.
Market�OverviewThe�compliance�jobs�market�was�impactedby�global�market�conditions�in�2012,�withvacancy�levels�lower�than�in�2011.�Both�thepermanent�and�contract�markets�picked�upin�the�second�half�of�the�year,�with�a�focus�onT&C,�regulatory�developments�and�risk�reviewfocused�monitoring.
New�regulations�(e.g.�MiFID�II,�RDR�andDodd-Frank)�and�a�range�of�large-scale�finesimposed�on�the�bigger�banks,�particularlywithin�LIBOR�and�AML,�led�firms�to�continueto�bulk�up�and�bolster�the�impacted�teams.Organisations�therefore�continued�to�recruitin�certain�areas�as�they�sought�to�appeaseexternal�political�pressure�and�raise�standardsinternally.�Where�necessary,�they�also�creatednew�teams�as�they�sought�to�bring�in�expertsto�increase�subject�matter�expertise�withinproblem�areas.
BankingBulge�bracket�investment�banks�were�onlywilling�to�hire�if�the�role�was�proven�to�becritical�to�the�wider�business.�This�extrascrutiny�on�headcount�led�to�an�increase�incounter-offers,�with�a�common�belief�amongline�managers�that�they�were�more�likely�to�getinternal�sign-off�for�a�pay�rise�than�a�new�hire,should�that�employee�leave�the�firm.
Due�to�ongoing�regulatory�pressure,�hiring�wasstill�occurring�throughout�the�year.�In�particular,smaller�firms�with�diverse�product�sets�weremore�successful�and�were�therefore�relativelyactive�in�the�recruitment�market.�As�a�result,employers�were�seeking�product�advisoryprofessionals�with�a�thorough�understandingof�all�product�types.�This�was�reflected�insalary�levels�for�these�candidates,�which
increased�slightly�from�the�previous�year.Specifically,�product�advisory�specialists�werecommanding�salaries�of�at�least�10-15%increase�on�2011�averages.
High-calibre�monitoring�candidates�werealso�sought-after�in�line�with�greater�internaland�FSA�reporting�requirements.�Auditand�surveillance�skills�were�particularly�indemand�for�these�roles.�Within�the�contractjobs�market,�we�saw�increased�demand�forregulatory�development�roles�and�rates�forcandidates�with�this�knowledge�increasedsignificantly.
Investment�ManagementMost�asset�management�firms�focused�onconsolidating�their�compliance�functions(particularly�in�the�hedge�fund�space),�whichled�to�an�increase�in�strong�candidatesseeking�new�jobs.�Institutions�not�focusedon�consolidation�continued�to�hire,�althoughwere�faced�with�similar�headcount�sign-offrestrictions�as�the�investment�banks.�Stronggeneralist�compliance�officers�with�specificasset�management�experience�were�mostsought-after.�As�a�result�of�increasing�demandin�this�area,�professionals�with�2�-�4�years’experience�are�receiving�annual�salaries�ofat�least�£45k�(compared�to�£40k�in�2012).We�also�saw�demand�for�candidates�withFSA�experience,�knowledge�of�regulatorytimetabling�and�guideline�monitoringcandidates�with�strong�IT�and�coding�skills�ona�contract�basis.
Within�the�wealth�management/privatebanking�space,�we�saw�cautious�butcontinuous�growth�in�the�compliance�jobsmarket�as�firms�responded�to�the�RetailDistribution�Review�(RDR).�Generalists�wereparticularly�sought-after�in�these�businesses.While�salaries�remained�at�broadly�similarlevels,�there�have�been�marginal�increases�atthe�mid�to�senior�level.�Indicative�of�this�trend,those�with�4�-�6�years’�experience�will�recieve
salaries�of�£60k�upwards�(compared�to�£55kin�2012).
Anti-Money�Laundering�(AML)Large-scale�global�fines�pushed�AML-focusedhiring�to�the�top�of�the�agenda.�Professionalswith�AML�policy�and�implementationexperience�and�a�strong�training�backgroundwere�the�most�appealing�candidates�forboth�banks�and�asset�managers.�Withinthe�contract�market,�the�focus�remainedon�KYC�roles�and�sanctions-focusedpositions�and�candidates�with�strong�systemsexperience�in�AML�transaction�monitoringwere�commanding�higher�daily�rates.
SalariesThe�best�candidates�continued�to�receivenotable�increases�as�clients�incentivised�themto�move�jobs�in�the�uncertain�climate.�Mostprofessionals�were�receiving�rises�of�around10%�but�candidates�with�strong�advisoryand�regulatory-focused�skills�were�typicallycommanding�a�premium�exceeding�this�level.Contract�rates�increased�in�the�advisory�andregulatory�development�area�and�short-termKYC�remediation�projects�also�received�anincrease�in�pay.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�the�compliance�jobs�market�toremain�relatively�stable�throughout�2013,�withfirms�continuing�to�hire�cautiously.�Recruitmentactivity�will�be�intrinsically�linked�to�marketconditions.�If�these�improve�markedly,�weanticipate�growth�as�firms�seek�to�make�upfor�the�reduced�headcount�caused�by�theslowdown�that�occurred�over�the�past�12�-18�months.�Even�if�the�market�continues�tostagnate,�however,�regulators�will�continue�towrite�and�prosecute�regulatory�infringement-�as�a�result,�employers�will�still�seek�strongcompliance�professionals�throughout�2013.

Market�OverviewWith�continued�uncertainty�within�the�Cityand�increased�levels�of�regulatory�oversight,front�office�job�levels�remained�relatively�staticthroughout�2012.�However,�we�saw�increasedscrutiny�on�middle�office�and�control-focusedroles.�Base�salaries�across�the�market�similarlyremained�consistent,�although�we�saw�slightincreases�for�research�analysts�at�the�juniorend,�particularly�for�individuals�with�emergingmarkets�and�credit�experience.
Across�the�buy�side�we�saw�increaseddemand�for�credit�research�professionals,particularly�European�high�yield.�Thiswas�due�to�firms�taking�advantage�of�anunder-representation�of�institutional
investors�across�the�European�market(compared�to�the�US)�and�an�increase�indistressed�debt�investing�opportunities�asbusinesses�restructure.
While�portfolio�management�opportunitieswere�limited,�we�saw�some�demand�withinfixed�income.�We�also�saw�a�noticeableincrease�in�exchange-traded�funds�portfoliomanagers�due�to�the�popularity�of�these�fundsin�Europe.�When�hiring�these�professionals,firms�demanded�proven�track�records,sector�and�market�specialisation.�However,competition�for�key�talent�remained�intenseand�skills�shortages�continued.
Overall�job�volumes�in�hedge�funds�were�lowerin�2012�compared�to�2011.�Start-up�fundswere�finding�it�harder�to�attract�new�investorsand�fewer�new�front�office�roles�were�thereforereleased.�This�was�particularly�the�case�withinlong/short�equity�funds�due�to�the�increasedompetition�created�by�new�start-ups�in�2011after�the�implementation�of�the�Volker�rule.
However,�hedge�funds�that�were�hiring�weretypically�seeking�portfolio�managers�withproven�track�records�of�performance�orresearch�analysis�with�broad�market/sectorknowledge.
Outlook�for�2013Predicting�the�recruitment�market�for�2013remains�difficult�given�the�constant�challengesfacing�the�City.�Traditional�asset�managersand�hedge�funds�are�now�competing�for�thesame�investment�capital�and�the�integrationof�alternative�strategies�into�the�long-onlybusinesses�could�result�in�increased�hiringactivity�within�the�front�office.�Asset�managersare�now�constantly�looking�to�developproducts�that�provide�improved�marginsso�experienced�investment�strategists�willremain�in�demand.�We�expect�credit�researchanalysts�with�specific�European�distresseddebt�exposure�and�product�managers�withfixed�income�expertise�to�be�sought-after.

Our�London-based�HR�team�recruits�the�fullremit�of�HR�professionals�on�a�permanent,contract�and�interim�basis�across�a�varietyof�commercial�industry�sectors,�includingprofessional�services,�media,�retail,�property,technology,�telecommunications,�naturalresources�and�energy,�pharmaceuticals�andFMCG.
Market�OverviewThe�HR�jobs�market�continued�to�bechallenging�in�2012,�although�demandwas�strong�in�specific�areas.�For�example,vacancy�levels�within�SMEs�were�relativelyhigh�and�employers�in�certain�industry�sectors,specifically�IT,�e-commerce/new�media,�legaland�energy,�continued�to�seek�talented�HRprofessionals.
Reward�remained�a�key�focus�area�forbusinesses,�with�talent�attraction�and�retentionparticularly�crucial�priorities.�In�particular,
employers�were�seeking�to�hire�compensationand�benefits�professionals�who�could�create�acompetitive�and�cost-effective�reward�strategy.
We�saw�notable�demand�for�interim�changemanagers�and�HR�generalists�with�strongemployee�relations�experience�as�employerssought�professionals�who�could�overseerestructuring�programmes.�M&A�activity�inmanagement�consultancy�and�accountancyfirms�also�led�to�some�demand�for�HRgeneralists�with�TUPE�transformationknowledge�and�harmonisation�of�terms�andcontracts.
Some�HR�professionals�were�reluctantto�move�jobs�due�to�market�uncertainty,preferring�the�security�of�their�existingroles.�The�majority�of�salary�levels�remainedconsistent,�although�we�saw�increases�incertain�specialisms�such�as�compensation�andbenefits.�To�illustrate�this�point,�managers
in�this�area�specifically,�compensation�andbenefits�managers�will�recieve�salaries�of�atleast�£60k+�in�2013�(compared�to�circa�£55kin�2012).
Outlook�for�2013The�HR�recruitment�market�is�likely�to�remainchallenging�in�2013.�However,�we�anticipatethat�job�levels�will�increase�in�the�first�fewmonths�of�the�year�as�new�budgets�arereleased.�Given�their�integral�importance�to�thesuccess�of�the�business,�reward�specialists�willcontinue�to�be�in�significant�demand.�Salariesfor�these�professionals�are�likely�to�increase�asemployers�battle�for�the�best�talent�in�this�area.With�this�being�the�case,�organisations�withthe�ability�to�be�flexible�on�salary�and�thosethat�have�the�most�streamlined�recruitmentprocesses�offering�a�positive�candidateexperience�are�likely�to�attract�the�best�talentin�this�market.

Our�IT�division�recruits�permanent,�contractand�interim�professionals�into�financialservices�firms�and�companies�in�commerceand�industry�sectors.�We�recruit�businesstechnologists�from�support�to�CTO�level.All�our�consultants�focus�specifically�on�aspecific�skill�set,�ranging�from�developmentand�infrastructure�to�senior�appointments,within�specific�industry�sectors.
Market�OverviewBanking�&�Financial�ServicesThe�IT�jobs�market�across�the�banking�andfinancial�services�sector�remained�uncertainin�2012,�with�most�firms�hesitant�to�committo�significant�hiring.�There�were�fewer�frontoffice�development�projects�implemented�dueto�lower�trading�volumes,�which�meant�themajority�of�recruitment�was�replacement�hiring.
However,�there�were�pockets�of�recruitmentactivity.�Specifically,�business-critical�riskand�regulatory�projects�remained�keypriorities�for�the�majority�of�firms.�Mostconcentrated�on�building�and�implementingthe�necessary�software�to�support�processchanges�required�by�the�FSA�and�the�Fed.Business�analysts�and�project�managerswere�especially�in�demand,�along�withdevelopers�with�.NET�development�skill�sets.We�also�saw�a�significant�increase�in�demandfor�technologists�with�risk�experience�(inparticular,�market�risk�and�counterparty�riskknowledge).
A�number�of�large�programmes�took�placeacross�the�investment�management�sector�asfirms�sought�to�create�global�data�platformsand�implement�necessary�processes�toensure�compliance�with�FSA�requirementsconcerning�the�Retail�Distribution�Review(RDR).�With�buy�side�firms�struggling�toresource�adequate�support�from�traditionalsoftware�vendors,�many�were�supplementingthese�skill�shortages�with�contractors�-particularly�for�order�management�systemsand�data�implementations.�With�a�number
of�hedge�funds�amalgamating,�some�werehiring�IT�professionals�to�support�this�activity.Data�migration�and�integration�specialistswere�particulary�in�demand.�Across�ourinvestment�banking�portfolio,�we�sawincreased�permanent�recruitment�in�thefixed�income�market.�Most�demand�was�fordevelopers�with�Java,�C++�and�C#�skills.
The�majority�of�firms�were�still�seeking�tostreamline�and�consolidate�their�infrastructure.As�internal�and�external�cloud�environmentsdevelop�further,�we�saw�continuingvirtualisation�of�data�centres.�Because�of�thesedevelopments,�infrastructure�professionalswith�experience�in�Citrix,�VMWare�andExchange�technologies�were�in�demand.
In�the�contract�jobs�market,�some�firms�forcedcandidates�to�take�mandatory�leave�as�acost-cutting�measure.�While�few�implementedrate�cuts�across�the�board,�job�seekers�wererealistic�about�the�strength�of�the�market.Those�who�had�received�higher�rates�in�thepast�were�therefore�willing�to�take�marginalpay�cuts�in�some�cases.
Commerce�&�IndustryIT�vacancy�levels�within�commerce�andindustry�remained�consistently�at�a�relativelyhigh�level,�with�certain�technologicaldevelopments�driving�activity�in�the�jobsmarket.
In�particular,�the�mobile�payments�industry�isa�growth�area.�To�illustrate�this�point,�thereare�likely�to�be�900�million�users�generatingUSD�1�trillion�in�transaction�value�by�2015�bySwift,�the�financial�messaging�specialists.�Mostdemand�created�by�this�development�was�forhigh-level�architecture�professionals,�businessanalysts�and�project�managers.
With�businesses�also�attempting�to�optimisethe�user�experience�of�their�websites,�webdevelopers�were�in�demand.�Professionalswith�knowledge�of�PHP,�HTML5,�CSS�and
ASP.NET�technologies�were�particularlysought-after.�Similary,�Android�and�iOSdevelopers�were�also�in�demand�as�employerssought�to�maximise�their�mobile�internetservice�offerings.�Employers�were�also�seekingdevelopment�skills�in�other�areas.�With�anupdated�SharePoint�product�to�be�released�in2013,�some�were�hiring�specialists�to�assistwith�these�implementations.
However,�there�was�an�overall�reductionin�infrastructure�headcount,�with�firmsredistributing�their�resources�towards�thirdline�support�and�cloud-focused�outsourcingfunctions.�As�cloud�computing�strategiesbecome�more�mature�we�anticipate�increaseddemand�for�specific�web�services�such�asAmazon�Web�Services�(AWS)�and�WindowsAzure.
Some�businesses�were�also�streamliningtheir�e-mail�marketing�offerings�by�rolling�outglobal�systems�with�CRM�capability,�such�asSalesforce.com,�Marketo�and�Eloqua�-�as�aresult,�professionals�with�expertise�in�theseprogrammes�were�being�hired.�In�addition,�thestorage,�processing�and�commercialisationof�data�will�continue�to�be�an�important�focusfor�businesses,�meaning�candidates�with�“BigData”�knowledge�will�be�in�demand.
Outlook�for�2013Overall,�we�remain�optimistic�about�the�ITjobs�market�heading�into�2013.�While�frontoffice�restructuring�is�likely�to�have�an�impacton�IT�departments,�demand�will�continuein�key�areas.�Given�the�importance�of�riskand�regulatory�projects,�professionals�withthese�skills�will�remain�in�significant�demand.Front�office�developers�are�also�likely�tobe�sought-after�as�firms�look�to�maximiseefficiencies�by�implementing�systems�andprocess�improvements.�Additionally,�thegrowth�of�mobile�payments�and�"Big�Data"will�continue�to�drive�a�significant�volume�ofrecruitment.

Our�primary�areas�of�focus�include:
• Construction/manufacturing• Energy�and�natural�resources• Pharmaceuticals/biotechnology• Professional�services• Real�estate/property• Retail/FMCG• Technology/media/telecommunications
Market�OverviewWhile�economic�conditions�remaineduncertain,�the�London�commerce�andindustry�in-house�jobs�market�continued�to�berelatively�stable.�Legal�professionals�becameincreasingly�keen�to�explore�new�opportunitiesin�this�area,�particularly�those�currently�workingin�private�practice.
The�majority�of�demand�continued�to�befor�legal�professionals�with�2�-�5�years’PQE.�For�most�of�these�roles,�businesseswere�seeking�a�wide�range�of�generalcommercial�experience�including�knowledgeof�IT,�intellectual�property,�competition�andcommercial�contracts.�With�an�increase�inpan-European�roles,�multinational�businesseswere�also�looking�for�legal�professionals�withEuropean�language�skills.
The�recent�spotlight�on�privacy�lawencouraged�businesses�to�strengthen�theirknowledge�and�awareness�of�complianceand�data�protection.�As�a�result,�lawyers�withexperience�in�these�areas�were�of�significantinterest�to�recruiting�businesses�-�particularly�inthe�technology�sector.
Where�headcount�restrictions�wereimplemented,�businesses�often�did�not�havethe�expertise�to�carry�out�certain�duties.Rather�than�outsourcing�to�external�counsel,many�were�hiring�contractors�to�carry�out�thisspecialist�work.�We�expect�the�demand�fortemporary�and�fixed�term�contract�lawyers�tocontinue�to�grow�in�the�first�half�of�2013�as�aresult�of�this�trend.
Salaries�remained�relatively�stable,�althoughwe�saw�small�increases�in�some�areas.Indicative�of�these�main�trends,�a�lawyer�with3�years’�PQE�working�in�the�FMCG�sector�cantypically�expect�a�basic�salary�of�at�least�£60kin�2013�(compared�to�£58k�in�2012).�Similarly,a�lawyer�with�2�years’�PQE�working�in�thetechnology�sector�can�expect�a�base�salary�of£52k�and�upwards�in�2013�(compared�to�£50kin�2012).
There�remains�a�clear�distinction�betweenregional�and�central�London�pay.�Salary�levelsare�generally�distinguished�between�threetiers�-�regional,�home�counties�(+�10%)�andcentral�London�(+�15%).�Companies�needto�be�aware�of�this�and�should�ensure�thatsalary�levels�align�with�their�local�competitorswhen�hiring�new�staff.�In�general,�the�marketremained�extremely�competitive�for�the�besttalent�-�we�saw�examples�of�some�businessesoffering�significant�increases�in�salary�and,�insome�cases,�sign-on�bonuses�to�secure�theirpreferred�candidate.
Outlook�for�2013Subdued�economic�growth�across�theUK�means�that�salary�levels�are�unlikelyto�increase�by�signifcantly�more�thaninflation.�However,�there�will�be�some�notableexceptions�to�this�-�notably�in�the�energyand�technology�sectors�and�for�lawyers�withsignificant�data�protection�experience,�whererecruitment�levels�are�likely�to�be�relativelyhigh.

Our�legal�financial�services�division�specialisesin�recruiting�permanent�and�temporary�legalprofessionals�for�a�variety�of�positions�withinfinancial�services�organisations.�Clientsinclude�investment�banks,�retail�banks,�assetmanagers�and�insurance�firms.
Market�OverviewWhile�legal�job�levels�within�the�financialservices�sector�were�relatively�low�in�thefirst�half�of�2012,�we�saw�slight�increasestowards�the�end�of�quarter�three�and�at�thestart�of�quarter�four.�Most�activity�occurredat�the�junior�level,�with�notable�demand�forindividuals�at�the�1�-�4�years’�level.�This�isevidence�of�organisations�putting�greateremphasis�on�training,�mentoring�and�growingtheir�legal�functions.�With�teams�starting�tobecome�slightly�bottom-heavy�as�a�result,�webegan�to�see�greater�demand�at�the�mid-levelat�the�end�of�2012.
As�transaction�and�project�levels�rose,�generalbanking�lawyers�were�in�demand.�For�theseroles,�individuals�with�trade�finance�andsecuritisation�experience�were�particularlysought-after.�In�addition,�specialist�derivatives,
funds�and�structured�products�lawyerswere�also�in�demand�due�to�banks'�tradingstrategies�focusing�on�these�areas.�Wealso�saw�significant�demand�for�companysecretaries�due�to�increased�scrutiny�onfinancial�services�firms�and�a�strong�desireamong�these�institutions�to�be�viewedtransparently.�Most�vacancies�were�atassistant�and�deputy�level,�with�professionalswho�were�ICSA-qualified�and�with�strongcommunication�skills�particularly�sought-after.
The�contract�jobs�market�continued�tobe�driven�by�major�projects�implementedin�response�to�regulatory�pressure.�Inparticular,�we�saw�significant�demand�fordocumentation�negotiators�to�work�onwide-ranging�OTC�clearing�initiatives.�Withfirms�also�implementing�projects�to�ensureadherence�with�FATCA�requirements,�somewere�recruiting�legal�professionals�withexperience�in�this�area.
With�US-based�private�equity�houses�andhedge�funds�looking�to�invest�in�the�UKmarket,�we�saw�growth�in�these�firms�as�theysought�to�build�their�in-house�teams.�Legal
professionals�specialising�in�distressed�debtwere�particularly�in�demand,�with�a�numberof�these�organisations�looking�to�bring�in�theirfirst�GC�or�Chief�Counsel.
While�the�majority�of�permanent�salariesremained�relatively�stable,�contract�ratesincreased�slightly�-�especially�where�projectswere�particularly�business�critical.�As�a�resultof�these�trends,�contractors�recruited�to�workon�OTC�clearing�implementations�will�recieve�adaily�rate�of�£600�in�2013�(compared�to�£550per�day�in�2012).
Outlook�for�2013The�jobs�market�remains�challenging�with�fewfirms�having�recruited�extensively�in�2012.However,�most�legal�teams�are�overworkedand�we�therefore�anticipate�a�notable�increasein�recruitment�when�hiring�managers�receivenew�budgets.�We�expect�firms�to�continue�tohire�for�the�long-term,�with�junior�lawyers�atthe�1�-�4�years'�PQE�level�most�in�demand.OTC�clearing�projects�will�drive�a�significantvolume�of�contract�recruitment�and�demandfor�trading�documentation�negotiators�isexpected�to�remain�high.

Our�private�practice�division�specialises�inrecruiting�temporary,�contract�and�permanentlegal�professionals�from�paralegals�to�partnersfor�leading�UK,�US,�City,�international�andWest�End�firms.
Market�OverviewWhile�we�saw�a�marginal�increase�in�privatepractice�recruitment�levels�in�2012,�themarket�reflected�overall�market�conditions.As�a�result,�specific�legal�disciplines�weremore�in�demand�than�others.�In�particular,we�saw�a�significant�increase�in�demand�forlitigation�lawyers,�primarily�due�to�events�suchas�the�LIBOR�scandal�and�world-famousRussian�and�Kazakhstan�High�Court�andarbitration�cases.�Specifically,�we�saw�growthin�investment�treaty�arbitration�roles�in�Londonas�increasing�numbers�of�firms�looked�totake�market�share�in�this�highly�lucrative�area.When�hiring�litigation�specialists,�firms�werebecoming�more�open�to�considering�US�andforeign-qualified�lawyers�as�they�concentratedon�securing�the�best�talent.
With�risk�and�compliance�remaining�a�keypriority�across�the�market,�we�saw�a�highvolume�of�legal�vacancies�in�this�area�fromanalyst�to�manager�level.�While�this�has�been
the�case�in�Magic�Circle�and�large�City�firmsfor�some�time,�smaller�and�mid-sized�firmsalso�sought�to�hire�in�this�area.�With�theseinstitutions�required�to�hire�COLPs�and/orCOFAs,�many�recruited�individuals�to�providesupport�in�running�the�compliance�function.Because�of�this�activity,�candidates�wereincreasingly�recognising�risk�and�complianceas�a�discipline�offering�excellent�careerprospects.
Demand�was�also�varied�at�the�paralegal�level.Continuing�documentation�review�projectsacross�a�range�of�practice�areas�such�aslitigation,�arbitration,�EU�competition,�bankingand�finance�meant�these�professionalswere�being�hired�en�masse�on�a�temporarybasis�in�the�majority�of�cases.�Litigation�andarbitration�experience�was�also�sought-afterfor�permanent�paralegal�roles,�particularly�byUS�firms.�We�also�saw�continued�demandin�transactional�focused-areas,�such�ascorporate�M&A,�project�finance�and�generalbanking,�as�more�firms�sought�to�utiliseparalegals�in�a�junior�fee-earning�capacity.
Salaries�marginally�increased�in�some�areas.Indicative�of�this�trend,�a�lawyer�with�3�years’PQE�working�for�a�New�York-based�firm�can
expect�a�basic�salary�of�at�least�£115k�in2013�(compared�to�£109k�in�2012).�In�otherfirms,�there�has�been�a�marginal�re-banding�oflock-step�arrangements�and�this�has�causedsalaries�to�fall�slightly.�We�expect�this�toresult�in�a�greater�number�of�merit-based�paystructures�being�implemented.
Outlook�for�2013Some�major�developments�are�likely�to�impactthe�jobs�market.�Firstly,�we�are�seeing�multiplemergers�of�large�City�institutions�with�globalfirms�to�create�‘supersize’�organisations.This�has�already�led�to�significant�movementat�Partner�level�and�we�expect�this�trendto�continue.�Secondly,�with�the�SolicitorsRegulations�Authority�authorising�alternativebusiness�structures,�private�equity�firms�maycontinue�to�invest�in�law�firms.�While�thewider�implications�of�this�are�unknown�atpresent,�it�has�the�potential�to�transform�themarket�by�stimulating�competition,�offeringincreased�consumer�choice�ultimately�leadingto�greater�job�opportunity.�With�increasedEuropean�regulatory�requirements�andcontinued�litigation�activity�(caused�by�eventssuch�as�LIBOR),�we�anticipate�demand�forprofessionals�specialising�in�these�areas.

• Financial�services• FMCG• Leisure�and�travel• Media�and�entertainment• Professional�and�business�services• Retail• Technology�and�telecommunications
We�recruit�a�variety�of�marketers�on�both�apermanent�and�contract�basis,�ranging�fromgeneralists�to�brand�and�product�managers,communications�specialists,�market�researchprofessionals�and�digital�marketers.
Market�OverviewConsumer�MarketingAlthough�demand�for�consumer�marketersfluctuated�in�2012,�businesses�werecontinuing�to�recruit�in�a�number�of�specificareas.
With�employers�focused�on�maximisingtheir�marketing�activity�as�they�sought�todeepen�relationships�with�their�customers,generalist�digital�marketers�were�sought-afteras�businesses�looked�to�improve�their�overallonline�offerings.�For�these�roles,�companiessought�individuals�who�could�bring�a�variety�ofstrategic�elements�together,�including�socialmedia,�SEO�and�PPC,�to�ensure�a�singlemessage�was�being�portrayed�to�the�market.
As�businesses�concentrated�on�attractingnew�customers�in�a�highly�competitiveenvironment,�innovation�marketers�whocould�develop�new�product�lines�were�alsoparticularly�sought-after.
Business�MarketingThe�professional�services�market�remainedconsistent�in�2012,�with�vacancy�levelscontinuing�to�be�relatively�high.�While�wedon’t�expect�marketing�teams�to�grow�in�thisspace�for�the�foreseeable�future,�replacement
hiring�was�occurring�at�most�employers.As�a�result,�we�saw�consistent�demand�forbusiness�development-focused�marketingprofessionals�who�were�commercial�in�outlookand�understood�how�to�work�effectively�inpartnership�and�matrix�environments.�Strongcandidates�in�this�area�with�relevant�industryexperience�were�consistently�receiving�salaryincreases�of�20%�when�moving�jobs.
While�job�levels�within�business�services�alsoremained�relatively�high,�candidates�continuedto�be�less�attracted�to�these�companies.Typically,�organisations�from�this�backgroundhad�smaller�marketing�teams�and�thereforesought�more�varied�experience�(i.e.�a�mixtureof�hands-on�and�strategic�skills)�and�were�lesslikely�to�require�specific�industry�knowledge.
Because�they�could�offer�cost-saving�solutionsto�their�clients,�new�technology�businesseswere�growing�and�this�led�some�to�expandtheir�marketing�teams.�The�majority�ofvacancies�in�this�area�were�product�led,with�employers�particularly�keen�to�hireindividuals�who�understood�the�technicalnature�of�the�service�they�offer.�An�ability�towork�with�internal�sales�teams�was�also�animportant�quality�for�many�employers,�aswas�demonstrable�experience�of�convertingmarketing�activity�into�profit.�Salaries�on�offertended�to�be�higher�in�this�sector,�with�mostfirms�also�continuing�to�pay�bonuses.
Financial�ServicesThe�jobs�market�remained�challengingwithin�financial�services,�with�the�majorityof�recruitment�taking�place�in�the�assetmanagement,�retail�banking�and�insurance(particularly�reinsurance)�sectors.�Acrossthe�entire�industry,�there�was�a�focus�onhiring�marketers�who�could�add�value�to�thebusiness.
In�particular,�we�are�saw�continuing�demandfor�investment�and�RFP�writers�as�firmssought�individuals�who�could�generate�new
business.�For�similar�reasons,�product�andacquisition�marketers�were�sought-after�asemployers�looked�to�gain�customers�from�theircompetitors.
Digital�marketers�were�also�in�demand.�Forthese�roles,�social�media�experience�wasbecoming�increasingly�important�-�particularlywithin�the�retail�banking�sector�as�thesebusinesses�sought�improved�engagement�withtheir�customers.�At�the�same�time,�investmentbanks�sought�communications�professionalswith�social�media�expertise�as�platforms�suchas�Twitter�become�an�integral�part�of�their�PRstrategies.
Although�salaries�remained�relativelyconsistent,�bonus�levels�fell.�This�trend�causedan�increase�in�the�number�of�professionalsconsidering�less�pressurised�roles�outside�ofthe�financial�services�that�offered�improvedwork-life�balance.
Outlook�for�2013We�do�not�anticipate�any�drastic�shifts�inmarket�conditions�and�expect�a�continuationof�existing�trends.�As�a�result,�replacementhiring�is�likely�to�continue�across�theboard,�with�growth�in�isolated�areas�(i.e.new�technology�firms).�Marketers�withdemonstrable�experience�of�generating�ROIwho�come�from�a�commercial�background(i.e.�who�are�numerate�and�possess�agood�business�understanding)�will�remainin�demand.�Within�consumer�marketing,innovation�marketers�will�continue�to�be�hiredas�businesses�seek�to�create�new�productand�service�offerings.�With�many�professionalshaving�stayed�in�their�existing�jobs�for�asustained�period,�we�expect�a�notable�volumeto�continue�to�seek�new�opportunities.

Our�banking�operations�division�specialisesin�placing�candidates�from�entry�to�head�ofdepartment�level�for�temporary,�fixed�termcontract�and�permanent�positions.�Our�clientportfolio�offers�a�diverse�opportunity�forcandidates�to�move�into�investment�banks,brokerage�firms,�commodity�institutions,spread�betting�firms�and�exchanges.
Market�OverviewOverall�job�levels�spiked�in�quarters�two�andfour�2012,�with�fewer�vacancies�becomingavailable�in�quarters�one�and�three.�Thisincrease�in�quarter�four�was�particularlyevident�in�the�contract�market,�which�is�apositive�sign�for�2013.�The�bulge-bracketbanks�were�more�active�hirers�than�boutiquefirms,�with�both�typically�focused�onbusiness-critical�and�replacement�recruitment.
However,�we�saw�some�growth�hiring�tosupport�regulatory-focused�projects�dueto�increased�pressure�from�the�FSA/FED.In�particular,�FATCA,�client�money�andDodd-Frank/EMIR�were�the�key�industryinitiatives.�As�firms�sought�to�streamline�theiroperations�and�maximise�efficiencies,�businesstransformation�initiatives�were�also�a�key�factordriving�additional�headcount.
Internal�mobility�became�more�common�dueto�near�and�off-shoring�initiatives,�which�saw�adecrease�in�permanent�vacancies�in�London.This,�however,�led�to�an�increase�in�contractjob�levels�as�firms�sought�to�cover�a�spikein�workload�caused�by�trading�volumes�andregulatory�change.�The�majority�of�these�roleswere�on�three-month�contracts,�althoughmany�of�these�were�often�subsequentlyextended�to�up�to�12�months.
Key�Hiring�AreasWe�saw�notable�demand�in�specific�areas,�inwhich�there�have�been�some�significant�skillsshortages.�These�included:
• Business�analysts�and�project�managersacross�asset�classes�at�AVP�and�VP�level
• Top�calibre�derivative�middle�office�(salesand�trade�support)�candidates�at�analystand�AVP�level
• Operational�risk�and�control�specialists�atAVP�and�director�level
• Regulatory�projects�specialists• OTC�clearing�(projects,�prime�brokerage
and�collateral�specific)�at�AVP�and�VP�level• Commodity�operations�(physical�and
financial)�across�all�functions�and�productsat�analyst�and�AVP�level
• Asset�servicing�specialists�(particularly�ona�contract�basis)
• Drafting�professionals�(particularly�on�acontract�basis)
• Client�money�specialists• Graduates�who�have�completed�an
internship�in�a�bank�and�up�to�one�year'sexperience�on�a�contract�basis�(due�toreduced�graduate�intake�from�traditionalrecruitment�schemes)
Hiring�in�a�number�of�these�areas�continuedto�be�driven�by�the�increased�need�fortransparency�in�order�to�reduce�risk�inresponse�to�regulatory�change.
Candidate�SupplyDespite�receiving�unsatisfactory�compensationreviews,�many�banking�operationsprofessionals�remained�reluctant�to�seek�newopportunities�due�to�the�overall�instabilityof�the�market.�However,�candidates�whotypically�would�have�waited�until�year�endbegan�looking�for�new�jobs�in�the�secondhalf�of�2012�as�their�bonus�expectations�for2013�began�to�fall.�Professionals�who�wereseeking�new�roles�were�primarily�motivated�bycareer�progression�and�bringing�themselvesup�to�market�rate.�Due�to�the�temporarymarket�being�comparatively�more�active,�somepermanent�candidates�considered�longer-termcontract�roles�as�they�sought�to�improve�theirpay�and�diversify�their�experience.
Salaries�&�RatesWhile�contract�rates�fell�at�the�end�of�2011,they�remained�consistent�throughout�2012.Similarly,�permanent�salaries�also�remainedstable�although�there�were�some�exceptionsto�this.�Increased�regulatory�pressure�andskills�shortages�led�to�large�increases�in�basicsalary�in�specific�areas,�such�as�regulatoryprojects,�client�money,�OTC�client�clearing,project�management�and�risk�and�control.
Some�candidates�who�moved�jobs�alsomanaged�to�secure�increases�of�up�to�25%on�their�basic�salaries.�However,�this�hasnot�been�caused�by�a�significant�change�inmarket�rates.�Instead,�it�has�primarily�beenthe�result�of�individuals�being�underpaid�dueto�a�sustained�period�of�salary�freezes�at�theirexisting�employers.
Outlook�for�2013As�market�uncertainty�continues,�we�expectjob�levels�to�remain�consistent�in�2013�as�firmsfocus�on�business-critical�and�replacementhires.�However,�banks�will�still�be�committedto�up-skilling�their�workforces�and�continue�toimplement�regulatory-focused�initiatives,�whichwill�be�the�main�driver�of�recruitment�in�2013.In�particular,�continued�focus�on�CCP�andlooming�EMIR�and�Dodd-Frank�deadlines�arelikely�to�create�clearing�projects,�collateral�andclient�services�roles.�We�are�also�likely�to�seecontinued�demand�for�contractors�to�coverworkloads�as�firms�remain�hesitant�to�committo�permanent�hires.

Our�investment�management�operationsdivision�works�with�a�number�of�specialistclients�and�candidates�within�the�investmentsector.�These�clients�include�hedge�funds,traditional�fund�managers,�wealth�managers,custodians,�securities�services�and�third-partyadministrators.�We�specialise�in�operations,middle�office,�client�clearing�and�operationalproject�roles�for�temporary,�fixed�term�contractand�permanent�hires.
Market�OverviewJob�levels�were�relatively�high�in�the�first�halfof�2012�before�falling�in�the�second�half�ofthe�year.�This�reduction�in�hiring�activity�couldbe�attributed�to�fewer�fund�launches�takingplace�in�2012�and�the�overall�performance�ofindexed�linked�funds.
As�firms�have�become�more�cautious�in�theirhiring�approaches,�recruitment�processeslengthened�-�particularly�for�contract�roles.Where�this�was�the�case,�employers�wereoften�missing�out�on�the�best�talent�to�thebanking�sector.
Fund�ManagementThe�fund�management�space�was�relativelystable,�with�larger�firms�more�active�in�therecruitment�market.�Most�demand�continuedto�be�at�the�mid-level,�with�firms�typicallyfocusing�on�hiring�graduates�with�2�-�4years’�experience.�Project�managers�weresought-after�on�a�permanent�basis�due�tosystems�implementations�as�firms�sought�toreduce�costs.�In�addition,�we�saw�demandfor�client�reporting,�transfer�agency�andoversight,�fund�accounting�and�corporateaction�professionals.�There�was�also�continuedgrowth�in�the�exchange-traded�fund�(EFT)space,�with�UCITS�fund�structure�knowledgeespecially�sought-after.
Performance�analysis�specialists�were�also�indemand�within�the�fund�management�sector,with�rates�increasing�for�professionals�withniche�skill�sets�(e.g.�candidates�with�fixed
income�and�multi-asset�knowledge�and�2�-7�years’�operations�experience)�due�to�talentshortages.�However,�one�exception�to�thiswas�equities�performance,�where�relatively�littlehiring�occurred�due�to�ongoing�outsourcingand�offshoring�in�this�area.
Hedge�FundWith�fewer�funds�launching�in�2012,�hedgefund�operations�job�levels�fell�in�2012.The�majority�of�hiring�that�took�placewas�predominantly�on�a�permanent�ortemp-to-perm�basis.�In�particular,�projectspecialists�were�in�demand�as�firms�soughtto�streamline�processes�and�make�efficiencyimprovements,�while�unfunctionalisedoperations�professionals�specialised�in�creditand�alternative�funds�were�also�sought-after.
Custody�&�Security�ServicesJob�levels�within�custodians�remainedsteady,�with�most�recruitment�in�this�areacontinuing�to�occur�on�a�contract�basis,�dueto�offshoring�initiatives�to�low�cost�locations.Specifically,�transfer�agency�and�transitionsprofessionals�were�in�demand,�with�clientservices�experience�and�previous�exposure�tooff-shoring�a�particulary�sought-after�skill�set.
Private�Wealth�ManagementDue�to�the�majority�of�private�wealth�firmsputting�a�strong�focus�on�hiring�in�2011,recruitment�levels�subsequently�fell.�This�trendwas�also�partly�caused�by�a�greater�numberof�mergers�occurring�in�the�market,�whichled�employers�to�re-deploy�staff�internally.Most�vacancies�that�became�available�weretypically�support-focused,�with�firms�hiringinvestment�advisory�support�professionals�andboth�KYC�and�FSA�remediation�specialists�tosupport�projects�in�these�areas.�We�saw�anincrease�in�demand�for�senior�contractors�dueto�uncertainty�surrounding�future�off-shoringinitiatives.
Candidate�Supply�&�DemandAcross�the�buy�side,�permanent�professionalswere�being�well�looked�after�by�theirexisting�employers�and�were�not�activelyseeking�new�jobs.�This�created�talentshortages�in�some�specific�areas,�such�asshareholder�services/supply�managementand�performance�analysis.�Among�those�thatwere�looking�to�move�roles,�candidates�weretypically�motivated�by�a�more�diverse�role�andimproved�work-life�balance.
Salary�&�RatesThe�majority�of�salaries�and�rates�remainedconsistent,�with�job�seekers�motivated�byfactors�other�than�pay.�However,�contractrates�for�more�functionalised�back�office�rolesfell�in�a�number�of�cases�due�to�increasedoutsourcing�in�the�market.
Outlook�for�2013While�existing�market�conditions�are�expectedto�cause�recruitment�levels�to�remain�relativelylow,�there�are�still�likely�to�be�some�notablegrowth�areas.�In�particular,�performanceanalysts�will�remain�in�demand.�Regulatorypressures�are�also�likely�to�have�a�greaterimpact�on�the�investment�community�in�2013,which�will�cause�project�managers,�businessanalysts�and�oversight�specialists�with�relatedexperience�to�be�increasingly�sought-after.

Our�risk�and�quantitative�division�specialisesin�identifying�and�placing�credit,�market�andoperational�risk�specialists�and�quantitativeanalysts�from�graduate�to�director�level�withinfinancial�services�organisations.�We�recruitprofessionals�on�a�permanent,�temporary�andcontract�basis.
Market�OverviewContinued�regulation�and�public�scrutinyhas�led�to�increased�pressure�on�financialinstitutions.�As�a�result,�risk�managementrecruitment�job�levels�remained�relatively�highthroughout�2012�and�were�on�the�increasegoing�into�2013.�Impending�deadlines�forBasel�III�and�further�pressure�on�capitalmanagement�led�banks�to�focus�on�hiringcandidates�with�specific�regulatory�experience.
Given�the�complexity�of�the�regulations�andapproaching�deadlines,�banks�were�not�ableto�rely�solely�on�existing�internal�talent�andinstead�had�to�hire�externally�in�order�to�coverfundamental�requirements.�Where�headcountrestrictions�were�in�place,�particularly�withinsmaller�banks�and�asset�managers,�firms�werehiring�contractors�to�ensure�projects�remainedin�line�with�determined�regulatory�timeframes.
Most�banks�further�integrated�their�riskmanagement�teams,�with�market�and�creditrisk�functions�working�almost�simultaneously.The�need�for�closer�communication�on�issuessuch�as�portfolio�or�counterparty�risk�wasdriving�banks�to�hire�candidates�with�anunderstanding�of�both�traded�derivativeproducts�and�credit�risk�calculation.
Market�RiskDespite�ongoing�market�uncertainty,�wesaw�a�steady�requirement�for�market�riskprofessionals�on�both�a�permanent�andcontract�basis.�Some�banks�continued�tointegrate�new�VaR�models�or�risk�platforms,which�led�to�opportunities�for�businessanalysts�or�project�managers�with�marketrisk�experience.�Although�there�were�limited
growth�hires,�banks�were�looking�to�replacemarket�risk�managers�who�had�moved�on�tothe�front�office,�particularly�within�the�equities,credit�and�rates�space.
The�majority�of�temporary�roles�were�in�theproduction�space,�although�individuals�withmarket�risk�experience�either�from�a�linefunction�or�project�environment�remainedsought-after.�Because�of�strong�demand,we�saw�talent�shortages�in�the�contract�jobsmarket,�with�firms�paying�a�premium�forindividuals�with�strong�product�knowledge�andreporting�skills.
Operational�RiskOperational�risk�was�one�of�the�busiest�areasof�recruitment�in�2012.�Headline�events�ledfirms�to�set�up�specific�trade�control�teamsto�monitor�and�control�business�activities.In�particular,�we�saw�a�rise�in�demand�foranalysts,�with�operational�risk�and�controlsexperience�in�demand�on�a�contract�basis.These�roles�typically�required�candidates�withstrong�operations�understanding,�risk�andcontrol�self�assessment�skills,�governanceknowledge�and�strong�systems�experience.
Credit�RiskCredit�risk�recruitment�was�one�of�the�quietestareas�of�recruitment�for�the�first�three�quartersof�2012.�However,�this�was�in�contrast�to�thecontract�jobs�market�where�Basel�III-drivenhiring�was�up�during�the�first�six�months�dueto�ongoing�projects�in�this�area.
We�saw�a�noticeable�increase�in�job�levelsgoing�into�2013,�particularly�in�counterpartycredit�risk,�Basel�III�projects�and�creditanalysis.�With�the�continued�slowdownin�global�lending,�some�responsibilities�oflarge�credit�analysis�responsibilities�weremoving�offshore.�Where�they�were�hiring,banks�were�recruiting�candidates�with�datamanipulation�skills�or�reporting�experience�tosatisfy�regulators’�demands�for�informationboth�in�the�UK�and�globally.�We�also�saw�a
number�of�junior�reporting-focused�credit�riskvacancies.
Quantitative�AnalysisDemand�for�quantitative�candidates�fell�asfirms�concentrated�on�filling�these�vacanciesinternally,�with�some�seeking�to�promote�frontoffice�professionals�and�structurers�internally.With�most�banks�trading�less�exotic�products,there�was�reduced�need�for�quantitativeprofessionals�to�build�and�validate�newmodels.�However,�mis-sold�product�projectscreated�some�demand�for�contractors�withpricing�and�structuring�skills.
The�Recruitment�ProcessThroughout�the�risk�jobs�market,�recruitmentprocesses�remain�lengthy.�This�was�generallythe�result�of�employers�seeking�candidateswho�‘ticked�every�box’.�As�ever,�firms�ableto�progress�the�hiring�process�quickly�andefficiently�continued�to�secure�the�best�talentin�the�market.
OutlookWith�recruitment�levels�unusually�high�atthe�end�of�2012,�the�outlook�for�2013�ispromising.�As�regulatory�deadlines�loomand�banks�focus�on�restructuring�theirteams,�firms�will�continue�to�seek�skilledprofessionals.�Technical�candidates�withstrong�risk�management�experience�arelikely�to�be�the�most�sought-after.�From�acandidate’s�perspective,�however,�the�best�riskmanagers�continue�to�be�those�who�are�ableto�broaden�their�skill�sets�quickly�to�matchtheir�employer’s�needs.

Our�sales�recruitment�division�specialises�inplacing�mid�to�senior-level�sales�professionalsinto�a�wide�range�of�organisations�frommultinationals�to�SMEs�throughout�theUK.�We�recruit�within�the�key�markets�oftelecommunications,�technology,�businessservices�and�media.
Market�OverviewThroughout�2012,�market�conditions�remainedchallenging.�Across�the�majority�of�sectors,sales�job�levels�remained�at�a�steady�level�withgenuine�growth�occuring�in�a�number�of�areas.
In�particular,�growth�was�evident�in�both�thetechnology�and�businesses�services�sector-�primarily�because�both�provide�customerswith�products�and�services�that�reduce�costsand�increase�productivity.�Within�technologysales,�job�levels�were�consistently�higher�withincompanies�who�provided�solutions�assisting�instreamlining�technical�infrastructure.
There�was�also�significant�growth�in�demandfor�sales�professionals�within�the�mobiletechnology�space�due�to�ongoing�app�andpayment�services�developments.
In�the�business�services�market,�notabledemand�for�sales�professionals�who�hada�direct�impact�on�business�performanceand�productivity�ensured�that�vacancy�levelsremained�high.�Areas�such�as�businessinformation,�training�and�outsourcing�wereparticularly�buoyant.
While�the�media�sales�jobs�market�remainedrelatively�stable,�we�saw�a�significant�increasein�sales�jobs�within�businesses�offeringonline�and�social�media�services.�However,there�was�comparatively�less�demand�frommore�traditional�media�companies.�Acrosstechnology�and�business�services,�candidateswith�new�business�and�exceptional�accountmanagement�skills�were�in�specific�demand.
This�led�to�a�skills�shortage�in�this�area,�whichcaused�salaries�to�rise�as�employers�soughtto�both�retain�and�attract�these�types�of�salesprofessionals.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�the�first�six�months�of�2013�toremain�challenging,�with�a�slow�but�continuedgrowth�in�the�number�of�vacancies�across�thesales�jobs�market.�We�anticipate�continueddemand�for�professionals�in�the�technologysector,�particularly�for�businesses�offeringonline,�social�media�and�mobile�technologyservices.�Professionals�with�a�track�record�ofgenerating�new�business�will�remain�highlysought-after�across�all�market�sectors,�withemployers�willing�to�offer�compensationpackages�outside�of�their�standard�paystructures�to�secure�the�best�talent.

• Administrative�assistants• Bilingual�secretaries• Data�entry�clerks• Equity�research�assistants• Executive�assistants• Facilities�assistants• IBD�secretaries• Legal�secretaries• Personal�assistants• Project�administrators/coordinators• Receptionists• Senior�secretaries• Team�secretaries• Trading�floor�assistants
The�division�recruits�for�a�variety�oforganisations.�The�financial�services�teamplaces�secretarial�and�support�staff�intoinvestment�banking,�insurance�and�a�widerange�of�small�to�medium-sized�financialservices�firms.�The�commerce�and�industryteam�services�a�wide�spectrum�of�businesses,from�FTSE�250�and�blue-chip�organisations�toSMEs.
Market�OverviewAlthough�the�secretarial�and�support�jobsmarket�remained�challenging�in�2012,�hiringstill�occurred�in�certain�areas.�In�particular,experienced�team�secretaries�and�personalassistants�continued�to�be�hired,�while�someSME-sized�commercial�employers�wererecruiting�support�staff�as�their�businessesgrew.
Following�an�increase�in�job�levels�withinthe�banking�and�financial�services�sector�inquarter�one,�vacancy�levels�remained�low.Firms�were�hesitant�to�commit�to�long-termnew�hires�given�market�conditions�and,�wherethey�recruited,�were�more�demanding�fromon�the�skill�set�and�experience�they�required
each�applicant.�For�example,�clients�continuedto�request�European�language-speakingcandidates�when�hiring�contractors,�withGerman,�French�and�Italian�particularly�indemand.�Despite�this�main�trend,�there�wasa�notable�increase�in�support�job�levels�withinIBD�and�risk�and�compliance�divisions.
In�terms�of�the�types�of�roles�being�recruited,firms�were�consistently�seeking�trading�floorsecretaries�on�a�temporary�basis.�In�addition,mid-level�team�secretaries�and�personalassistants�(in�the�£16�-�18�per�hour�rate�range)with�three�to�five�years’�experience�were�insignificant�demand�for�contract�roles.
Team�secretaries�in�the�£30�-�38k�salarybracket�were�also�in�demand�on�a�permanentbasis.�However,�candidates�at�this�level�werehesitant�to�move�roles�and�could�only�betempted�to�do�so�if�offered�a�notable�increasein�salary.
Job�levels�also�remained�low�across�themajority�of�commerce�and�industry�sectors.However,�SMEs�across�a�variety�of�sectors,including�property,�technology,�retail�and�legal,were�notably�active�in�the�recruitment�market.While�the�majority�of�this�recruitment�was�on�areplacement�basis,�we�saw�some�new�hires�inthe�legal�sector.
Overall�trends�within�commerce�and�industryvaried�across�the�contract�and�permanent�jobmarkets.�The�majority�of�temporary�demandwas�for�either�team�secretaries�(with�3�-�5years’�experience),�personal�assistants�(with�5-�10�years’�experience)�and,�to�cover�holidays,receptionists.�By�contrast,�graduates�with�2-�3�years’�work�experience�were�the�mostsought-after�for�permanent�vacancies�asbusinesses�sought�to�develop�and�train�theseindividuals.�Whether�hiring�on�a�contractor�permanent�basis,�firms�typically�soughtcandidates�with�strong�MS�Office�skills�and,�insome�cases,�European�language�skills.
The�candidate�market�was�particularly�activeat�the�senior�level�with�executive�assistants�toCEO�and�COOs�expressing�an�interest�in�newopportunities.�While�there�was�some�demandfor�these�professionals�on�a�temporary�basis,there�were�few�permanent�vacancies�in�thisarea.
The�majority�of�both�temporary�and�permanentsalaries�remained�consistent�during�2012�and,as�a�result,�we�do�not�expect�these�to�changefurther�during�2013.�Despite�employers�tryingto�force�pay�down,�most�have�realised�thatthey�need�to�take�into�account�candidatesalary�expectations�and�market�rates�in�orderto�secure�the�best�talent.�However,�junior�endroles�were�a�slight�exception�to�this�trendto�illustrate�this�point,�administrators�andreceptionists�working�in�the�financial�servicessector�will�typically�recieve�salaries�of�£18kand�upwards�in�2013�(compared�to�£20k�andupwards�in�2012).
Outlook�for�2013While�the�jobs�market�will�remain�challengingin�2013,�businesses�will�continue�to�hirein�similar�areas�to�2012.�Consequently,we�expect�demand�within�commerce�andindustry�for�experienced�team�secretaries�andpersonal�assistants�on�a�temporary�basis�tocontinue,�while�more�junior�candidates�will�besought-after�for�permanent�roles.
With�redundancies�anticipated�in�the�bankingand�financial�services�sector,�we�expectorganisations�to�transfer�individuals�internallyto�ensure�these�vacancies�are�efficientlycovered.�This�could�subsequently�creategreater�demand�at�the�junior�level�(£25�-�35k)as�firms�seek�a�cost�effective�way�to�coverworkloads.�Outside�of�this�trend,�trading�floorsecretaries�will�remain�sought-after�while�firmsare�likely�to�continue�to�strengthen�their�risk,compliance�and�IBD�divisions.

Our�taxation�recruitment�division�specialises�inpermanent,�contract�and�interim�recruitmentacross�financial�services�and�commerce�andindustry�sectors.�We�cover�the�full�range�of�taxdisciplines,�from�corporate�tax�through�to�VAT,transfer�pricing�and�global�mobility�for�a�varietyof�roles,�from�tax�accountants�right�through�toheads�of�tax.
Market�OverviewDuring�2012,�tax�recruitment�levels�peakedin�quarters�two�and�three�before�trailing�offtowards�the�end�of�the�year.�Due�to�ongoingregulatory�pressure,�the�financial�servicessector�(specifically�large�investment�banks�andasset�managers)�remained�the�driving�force�inthe�recruitment�market.�However,�we�noticed�acontinuing�appetite�among�SMEs�to�bring�taxin-house�for�the�first�time�within�the�commerceand�industry�sectors,�with�growing�regulatory
pressure�and�continued�reputational�riskconcerns�were�the�main�drivers�behindthis�trend.�While�permanent�recruitmentlevels�remained�low�in�FTSE�100�corporatebusinesses,�these�companies�had�consistentrequirements�for�temporary�contractors.
Ongoing�developments�in�transactionaltax�regulations�had�an�impact�on�thehiring�market.�We�saw�notable�demand�forindividuals�to�sit�in�consultancy�roles�andapply�their�transaction�tax�knowledge�tooffices�around�the�world.�FATCA�expertisealso�continued�to�be�sought-after�due�toongoing�projects�in�this�area.�When�seniorindividuals�vacated�their�roles,�firms�were�notnecessarily�replacing�on�a�like-for-like�basis.Instead,�they�often�used�the�budget�to�hirejunior�professionals�as�they�opted�to�bridgereporting�lines�and�bolster�exisiting�teams.
As�a�result,�most�jobs�coming�to�market�wereat�the�newly-qualified�to�2 - 3�years’�PQE�level.
The�majority�of�market�rate�salaries�remainconsistent�with�last�year.�However,�overallsalary�levels�remain�extremely�difficult�tobenchmark�because�organisations�of�similarsizes�working�in�the�same�sectors�are�payingdifferent�salaries�for�identical�roles.�Forexample,�we�saw�two�competing�FMCGbusinesses�pay�a�£5k�differential�on�basesalary�for�a�newly-qualified�tax�accountant.
Outlook�for�2013Tax�job�levels�are�likely�to�remain�consistent�in2013.�There�does�however�remain�an�appetiteto�hire�in-house�tax�staff,�with�developing�andvaried�legislation�in�the�UK,�such�as�FTT�andFATCA�in�the�financial�services�sector,�willcontinue�to�drive�recruitment�activity.

Market�OverviewOverall�treasury�job�levels�have�droppedover�the�course�of�2012.�Due�to�uncertaintyacross�the�economy,�treasury�professionalsremained�hesitant�to�move�and�this�causedthe�market�to�stagnate.�However,�recruitmentstill�occurred�in�some�areas,�although�thiswas�generally�dictated�by�the�performance�ofindividual�companies�rather�than�being�sectordriven.�We�saw�notable�demand�at�the�middlemanagement�level�(i.e.�the�£50 - 70k�salarybracket).�The�main�reason�for�this�was�that
many�businesses�were�focused�on�hiring�juniorprofessionals�in�the�first�half�of�2012,�whichcaused�teams�to�become�bottom-heavy.�Asa�result,�they�subsequently�concentrated�onrecruiting�individuals�to�fill�this�experience�gap.
Senior�treasury�professionals�were�also�indemand�as�some�businesses�sought�to�buildtheir�treasury�departments�from�scratch.�Forthese�roles,�employers�typically�looked�tohire�candidates�with�start-up�and/or�provenprocess�improvement�experience.�This�desireto�improve�systems�and�processes�alsoled�to�greater�demand�for�contract�projectsprofessionals�specialising�in�these�areas.�Themajority�of�salaries�either�remained�constant�ordropped�slightly�over�the�course�of�year.�Thiswas�primarily�the�result�of�reduced�job�levelscausing�significant�competition�for�vacancies
at�all�levels.�Due�to�the�risk�averse�nature�ofthe�market,�businesses�preferred�to�hire�ona�contract�or�temp-to-perm�basis�in�somecases.�When�they�were�recruiting,�employersincreasingly�attempted�to�hire�for�roles�withan�excessively�wide�remit�with�too�manyresponsibilities.�This�led�to�decreased�interestin�the�position�thereby�creating�a�smallerpotential�talent�pool�for�employers�to�choosefrom.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�more�treasury�professionals�toexplore�new�opportunities�having�sat�tightin�their�existing�roles�for�a�sustained�period.Most�demand�is�likely�to�continue�for�middlemanagers�as�firms�look�to�build�their�treasuryteams�with�experience�at�this�level.

Within�liquidity�reporting,�recruitmentlevels�were�relatively�high�as�firms�soughtto�implement�systems�and�processimprovements.�In�particular,�Basel�IIIimplementations�caused�workloads�to�rise.�Forthese�projects,�firms�looked�to�recruit�on�botha�contract�and�permanent�basis.
Liquidity�risk�management�specialistsremained�sought-after,�predominantly�in�theretail�banking�sector,�although�there�werepockets�of�demand�in�the�investment�banks.FSA�requirements�led�banks�to�develop�amore�robust�framework�to�measure�andmonitor�liquidity�adequacy.�With�the�majorityof�these�frameworks�in�place,�banks�werelooking�to�hire�professionals�who�could�takeownership�of�the�continual�development�of�theILAA�in�2012.
The�largest�job�volumes�were�evident�in�theasset�liability�management�(ALM)�and�fundstransfer�pricing�(FTP)�space.�Knowledge�ofspecific�risk�systems�was�sought-after�forthese�jobs,�with�QRM�particularly�in�demand.With�funds�transfer�pricing�a�developingmethodology,�particularly�in�the�larger�retailbanks,�many�of�these�institutions�were�stillseeking�skills�in�this�area.�However,�thetalent�pool�for�ALM�and�FTP�experienceremained�shallow,�which�led�firms�to�insteadconsider�a�broader�skill�set,�including�riskand�quantitative�modelling,�front�office�andconsidering�candidates�from�overseas.
Although�some�recruitment�occurred�as�aresult�of�restructuring,�we�saw�relatively�littlecapital�management-focused�vacancies(which�typically�comprise�the�overallresponsibility�of�balance�sheet�optimisation,consumption�and�legal�entity�management).
With�firms�placing�significant�scrutiny�on�cost,salaries�remained�consistent�throughout�theyear.
Outlook�for�2013While�it�is�unlikely�that�we�will�see�vast�growthin�the�size�of�treasury�teams,�it�will�remain�akey�focus�area�for�financial�services�institutions-�particularly�while�systems�and�data�projectsremain�incomplete�and�regulatory�pressurecontinues.�We�anticipate�that�the�largestdemand�will�continue�to�exist�in�the�ALM�andFTP�space,�with�a�continual�need�for�externalliquidity�reporting�and�risk�managementskills.�Due�to�the�lack�of�activity�at�the�seniorend�of�the�treasury�finance�market,�weexpect�any�activity�to�be�the�result�of�naturalturnover,�apart�from�where�organisations�areimplementing�targeted�growth�plans.

• Audit/compliance/risk�specialist• Chief�accountant• Commercial�accountant• Finance�business�partner• Finance�director• Financial�controller• Financial/management�accountant• Tax/treasury�accountant
Market�OverviewWe�saw�a�steady�increase�in�recruitmentactivity�in�the�North�West�over�the�courseof�2012.�The�majority�of�demand�was�atthe�newly�and�recently-qualified�level�asbusinesses�continued�to�invest�in�new�staffwho�could�grow�and�develop�within�theorganisation.�However,�companies�wereadopting�a�more�cautious�approach�at�thesenior�end�of�the�market�with�employeesextremely�selective�about�hiring�at�this�level.
Hiring�managers�were�often�extremelyselective�when�recruiting�finance�professionalsand�typically�sought�industry�experience�anda�track�record�of�working�within�a�similarsized�organisation.�This�caused�significantcompetition�for�the�best�talent,�which�inturn�led�to�an�increase�in�counter-offersupon�resignation�as�organisations�focusedon�maintaining�stability�and�rewarding�theirbest�people.�Specifically,�we�saw�financialincentives,�additional�career�developmentopportunities�and�work�responsibilities�offeredto�the�top�performing�finance�professionalswhen�they�received�a�job�offer.
With�finance�more�readily�available�frombanks,�recruitment�levels�increased�withinthe�SME�market�in�2012.�Many�of�these
businesses�revisited�expansion�plans�they�hadpreviously�put�on�hold.�Others�also�began�tohire�into�positions�made�redundant�during�therecession.�As�a�result,�we�expect�there�to�bea�high�volume�of�roles�available�for�candidateswith�all-round�accounting�skills�who�enjoy�thechallenge�presented�by�working�for�a�smallerbusiness�throughout�2013.
Outlook�for�2013Over�the�next�12�months�we�expect�continuedbut�slow�growth�across�the�commercialsector�as�market�confidence�begins�to�slowlyreturn.�SMEs�are�likely�to�be�particularlyactive�hirers.�In�addition,�a�number�ofLondon-centric�businesses�are�in�the�processof,�or�considering,�moving�many�back,�middleand�front�office�functions�to�the�North�West,with�Manchester�a�popular�destination.�Thisis�likely�to�create�significant�demand�forhigh-calibre�finance�professionals.
Interim�ManagementOur�interim�management�division�focuses�onproviding�interim�solutions�within�commerceand�industry,�particularly�within�periods�oftransition�and�change�management.�Werecruit�for�the�full�spectrum�of�roles�whichcover�any�transformation�agenda�including:
• Interim�finance�directors• Interim�financial�controllers• Interim�programme�directors• Interim�project�managers
Market�OverviewOverall,�the�interim�management�marketremained�stable�with�job�volumes�continuingat�a�consistent�level.�However,�we�did�see�aslight�increase�in�demand�from�manufacturingbusinesses�as�these�companies�werereluctant�to�hire�permanent�headcount�andinstead�sought�an�interim�solution.�With�retailcompanies�especially�sensitive�to�weekly�andeven�daily�changes�to�market�conditions,�thereremained�a�need�for�analysts�to�identify�trendsand�cost�savings.
An�increase�in�regulatory�programmesresulted�in�businesses�implementing�changeinitiatives�that�required�interim�specialists.�Asan�example,�the�financial�services�industry�wasimpacted�by�Solvency�II�and�CRDIV�legislation,which�created�a�demand�for�project�managersand�specialists�in�this�field.�Cost�reductionprogrammes�across�various�industries�ledto�increased�demand�for�change�managersand�outsourcing�specialists.�With�systemsupgrades�(e.g.�Oracle�and�SAP)�also�on�therise,�the�market�experienced�a�shortage�ofsystems�accountants�with�specific�enterpriseresource�planning�(ERP)�exposure.
Due�to�the�increased�volume�of�programmesbeing�implemented�in�the�North,�projectmanagers�were�able�to�command�a�premium-�particularly�those�with�regulatory�experience.With�businesses�typically�having�to�meet�tightdeadline�requirements,�project�managerswere�sometimes�able�to�able�to�commandrate�increases�of�up�to�25%.�However,�overallinterim�rates�for�finance�professionals�fell�by�upto�10%�due�to�increased�job�seeker�numbers.
Outlook�for�2013With�an�increase�in�migration�and�outsourcingprogrammes�anticipated�and�the�likelycontinuation�of�regulatory�programmes�in2013,�the�interim�jobs�market�will�remainrelatively�strong.�Because�of�these�mainmarket�trends,�we�anticipate�a�reductionin�core�finance�interim�positions�and�acontinued�surge�in�project-focused�roles.Given�the�overall�economic�climate,�weexpect�companies�to�remain�reluctantto�add�permanent�headcount,�creatingfurther�demand�for�interims�as�they�lookto�cover�existing�workloads.�With�interimmanagement�quickly�becoming�a�careerchoice�for�professionals�looking�to�broadentheir�skill�sets�and�ultimately�take�advantageof�an�often�volatile�but�also�interesting�andrewarding�marketplace,�there�are�some�strongcandidates�available.

Market�OverviewThe�banking�and�financial�services�recruitmentmarket�in�the�North�was�significantly�impactedby�business�migrations.�Firms�that�previouslyconsidered�the�idea�of�moving�parts�of�theiroperations�to�the�region�were�committing�andformally�relocating�divisions.�Specifically,�wesaw�a�number�of�businesses�move�back�andmiddle�office�functions�from�the�South�Eastand�London�to�the�region.�These�moves�weredriven�by�the�cost�saving�benefits�on�offer�butalso�a�recognition�of�the�strong�talent�poolavailable�in�the�North.
While�the�increased�number�of�migrationsled�to�a�temporary�rise�in�job�levels,�it�alsocreated�a�larger�financial�services�communityin�the�region�and�growth�across�the�market.�Inparticular,�this�trend�led�to�significant�demandfor�banking�professionals�with�two�years’experience�and�a�background�of�managing�ateam.
The�negative�sentiment�around�the�globalfinancial�services�market�initially�resulted�incautiousness�from�local�organisations�to�hire.As�new�budgets�were�released�and�there�werenew�entrants�to�the�local�financial�servicesmarket,�however,�we�witnessed�increased�joblevels.
In�addition,�professionals�from�a�compliancebackground�continued�to�be�highlysought-after�due�to�extensive�FSA�reforms,increased�regulatory�pressure�and�potentialrestructures.�Treasury�risk�professionalswere�also�in�demand�as�firms�assessed

As�the�number�of�vacancies�increased,�wesaw�a�higher�number�of�quality�candidatesbecome�available.�The�positive�sentimentfiltered�down�through�the�market�and�weincreasingly�saw�top-tier�financial�servicesprofessionals’�move�to�the�region�to�securenew�jobs.�While�the�majority�of�salariesremained�fairly�stable�during�the�year,�somerisk�and�compliance�professionals�were�able�tosecure�uplifts�of�between�5-10%�when�movingroles�due�to�the�emphasis�firms�placed�onthese�skill�sets.
Outlook�for�2013The�region’s�banking�and�financial�servicesmarket�is�in�a�relatively�strong�position,�withnew�entrants�to�the�area�having�a�significantimpact�and�sentiment�in�the�North�is�nowmore�positive�than�we�witnessed�12�monthsago.
We�have�seen�a�lot�of�investment�in�the�regionand�the�creation�of�operational�centres�ofexcellence�in�the�North.�These�are�significantinvestments�and�demonstrate�a�long-termcommitment�to�the�region�with�a�positiveoutlook�both�next�year�and�long-term.

Market�OverviewGeneral�transactional�finance�job�levelsremained�consistent�in�2012�and�demandincreased�in�some�key�areas.�In�particular,we�saw�an�increase�in�the�number�ofpart-qualified�vacancies�(CIMA,�ACA)�availableafter�employers�promoted�professionalsinternally�in�these�positions.�We�also�witnesseda�high�volume�of�purchase�ledger�roles�-�thiswas�a�positive�sign�for�the�wider�market,�as�anincrease�in�these�types�of�positions�typicallyindicates�that�businesses�were�investing�inproducts�and�services.
Shared�services�implementations�were�alsoa�key�driver�of�recruitment.�Specifically,restructures�and�expansions�of�backoffice�functions�led�to�volume�hiring�withinbusinesses�with�these�models�in�place.These�transformations�created�demandacross�a�variety�of�roles�ranging�from�junioraccount�and�accounts�payable/receivableto�more�supervisor�and�management�leveltransactional�roles.
Given�broader�market�conditions,�businesseswere�keen�to�manage�their�debtors�and�cashflow.�This�created�demand�for�experiencedcredit�controllers.�In�particular,�we�sawa�number�of�supervisor-level�vacanciesbecome�available�as�businesses�soughtprofessionals�to�manage�more�junior�staff�andtake�responsibility�for�payment�collection.
As�they�were�primarily�motivated�by�bothan�increase�in�salary�and�improved�careerprogression�when�seeking�new�opportunities,professionals�found�positions�offeringlong-term�career�opportunities�particularlyappealing.�After�falling�below�market�ratetowards�the�end�of�2011,�employers�weremore�willing�to�be�flexible�regarding�salariesand�benefits�packages.�This�led�overall�pay�torise�back�to�expected�levels.
There�was�also�an�increase�in�permanentpositions�rather�then�fixed�term�contracts�asbusinesses�committed�to�headcount.�Despitethe�increase�in�job�volumes,�there�was�stillnervousness�from�some�candidates�to�moveand�leave�a�secure�position�in�the�currentclimate.
Outlook�for�2013As�a�result�of�this�trend,�we�anticipate�arise�in�transactional�finance�job�levels�andincreased�candidate�confidence.�We�expectthe�shared�service�centres�to�continue�to�driverecruitment�as�more�businesses�move�backoffice�finance�functions�to�the�region.
Secretarial�&�SupportThe�Robert�Walters�secretarial�and�supportdivision�recruits�for�temporary,�contract�andpermanent�vacancies�across�the�North.�Ourteam�focuses�on�a�wide�range�of�positionsranging�from�personal�assistants�to�data�entryclerks.�We�recruit�for�a�variety�of�organisations,from�large�multinational�businesses�to�smallstart-ups.
Market�OverviewThe�secretarial�and�support�jobs�market�wasconsistent�during�2012,�with�opportunitiescontinuing�to�become�available�for�qualitycandidates.�In�particular,�we�saw�demand�forteam�secretaries�and�personal�assistants�withstrong�Microsoft�Office�skills.�With�the�marketremaining�challenging,�most�recruitment�was
on�a�replacement�basis�rather�than�growthfocused.
With�most�businesses�reluctant�to�committo�permanent�headcount,�the�majority�ofbusinesses�preferred�to�hire�on�a�temporarybasis.�However,�many�professionals�hired�onthis�type�of�arrangement�were�subsequentlyoffered�a�permanent�position.
Although�employers�occasionally�attemptedto�offer�salaries�below�the�market�rate,both�permanent�and�contract�pay�ratesremained�consistent�over�the�past�year.Despite�professionals�being�nervous�aboutmoving�jobs�due�to�market�conditions,positions�that�offered�career�progressionand/or�strong�remuneration�packages�weretypically�attracting�strong�candidates.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�job�flow�to�be�at�a�similar�levelto�2012�and�businesses�will�continue�to�hiresupport�staff�throughout�the�year.�We�are�likelyto�see�more�businesses�commit�to�permanenthires�as�the�market�conditions�improve,however,�most�recruitment�will�continue�to�bereplacement�rather�than�growth-focused.

Market�OverviewThe�IT�sales�jobs�market�remained�resilientdue�to�strong�business�performance�acrossthe�sector.�Organisations�in�this�spacewere�focused�on�winning�market�share�andrequired�high-quality�sales�staff�to�supportthis�objective.�Sales�professionals�specialisingin�cloud�computing�and�virtualisation�wereparticularly�in�demand,�as�were�those�froma�business�intelligence�and�analytics�salesbackground.�Sales�professionals�specialisingin�security�and�data�security�were�alsosought-after�as�regulatory�pressure�onbusinesses�created�opportunities�in�theseareas.
The�best�professionals�were�being�well�lookedafter�by�their�existing�employers�and�werenot�actively�looking�for�new�jobs.�As�a�result,organisations�needed�to�offer�a�competitivecommission�structure�and�role�with�fewadministration�duties�to�attract�the�top�talent.
An�exception�to�this�was�in�business�services,where�sales�professionals�were�attracted�tothe�opportunity�on�offer,�a�strong�brand�and/orcareer�development�potential.�As�a�result,�weoften�saw�candidates�move�from�one�role�toanother�without�securing�a�significant�increasein�basic�pay.�In�some�cases,�the�bonuselement�of�the�packages�on�offer�were�madeup�of�‘softer’�factors�(such�as�individual�KPIsrather�than�revenue�generated)�and�relatedto�company�performance.�This�often�made�itmore�difficult�to�attract�the�best�candidates,
who�were�typically�more�sales-driven.
The�majority�of�salaries�remained�consistentwith�2011�levels.�However,�IT�salesprofessionals�with�a�proven�track�recordof�generating�new�business�were�able�tocommand�salary�increases.

Market�OverviewDuring�the�first�half�of�the�year,�the�majorityof�hiring�continued�to�be�replacement�ratherthan�growth-focused�as�wider�economicuncertainty�led�to�a�general�nervousnessacross�the�market.�Overall�headcount�levelstherefore�remained�steady.�In�the�secondhalf�of�the�year,�the�market�tightened�andteams�were�often�having�to�make�do�withtheir�existing�numbers�with�only�niche�andbusiness-critical�roles�being�hired.
As�a�result,�risk,�compliance�and�corporategovernance�specialists�were�in�high�demandas�banks�looked�to�bolster�these�areasdue�to�previous�failures�in�their�controlfunctions.�To�illustrate�this�point,�several�banksreleased�results�that�had�been�significantlyimpacted�by�fines�from�mis-selling�PTAinsurance�policies.�The�introduction�of�newregulations�also�created�further�demandfor�compliance�professionals.�The�largerbanks�continued�to�recruit�senior�level�interimprofessionals�to�deliver�change�programmesas�they�underwent�transitional�periods.Within�operations,�recruitment�was�relativelyrestrained.�Vacancies�that�were�available�oftenextremely�niche�in�nature�and�required�skillsets�that�are�rare�(i.e.�specialist�tax�reportingpositions).
Recruitment�processes�slowed�as�businesseswere�required�to�justify�any�additionalheadcount.�This�led�to�increased�caution�in�the
market�and�fewer�professionals�were�activelyseeking�new�job�opportunities�as�mostvalued�the�stability�of�their�existing�roles.Individuals�who�were�open�to�considering�newopportunities�were�mainly�driven�by�careerprogression�and�we�saw�many�relocate�fromLondon�to�the�region.

The�Midlands�human�resources�recruitmentteam�is�based�in�central�Birmingham�andrecruits�for�HR�generalist�and�specialist�rolesacross�the�Midlands,�Northamptonshire�andOxfordshire.�We�recruit�across�all�marketsectors�within�large�corporate�organisations,well�known�household�names�and�local�SMEs,for�both�interim�and�permanent�roles.
Market�OverviewHR�recruitment�remained�relatively�consistentin�the�Midlands�with�a�steady�flow�of�jobsavailable�throughout�the�year.�HR�generalistswere�most�in�demand�as�employers�continuedto�seek�HR�professionals�who�could�addthe�most�value�and�work�across�a�varietyof�disciplines.�In�particular,�a�number�ofbusinesses�hired�HR�business�partners�asthey�looked�for�candidates�able�to�completestandard�business-as-usual�responsibilitieswho�could�add�value�strategically.
The�jobs�market�remained�competitive�and�wecontinued�to�receive�a�relatively�high�volume�ofapplications�for�each�vacancy.
As�a�result,�candidates�needed�to�be�realisticwhen�seeking�new�roles�both�in�terms�of�thesalaries�they�sought�and�the�length�of�therecruitment�process�(which�often�involvedmultiple�stages).
Although�businesses�primarily�focused�onrecruiting�HR�generalists,�we�also�saw�somedemand�for�HR�specialists.�In�particular,�wesaw�an�increase�in�learning�and�developmentand�compensation�and�benefits�vacanciesas�employers�focused�on�retaining�their�bestperformers.
Despite�a�relatively�high�number�ofprofessionals�seeking�new�opportunities,�thereremained�a�shortage�of�high�quality�candidatesand�the�very�best�HR�professionals�weredifficult�to�identify�and�attract.�As�a�result,�thestrongest�candidates�who�typically�securedmultiple�offers�and�were�usually�able�to�secure

Outlook�for�2013We�expect�the�local�HR�recruitment�marketto�follow�a�similar�pattern�to�existing�markettrends�throughout�2013.�Specifically,�weexpect�job�levels�to�remain�steady�during�theyear�meaning�most�hiring�is�likely�to�be�ona�replacement�basis.�With�ongoing�marketactivity,�HR�professionals�with�specific�nicheskills�such�as�reward�or�global�mobility�willremain�in�significant�demand�and�in�somecases,�receive�a�premium.

Our�Midlands�IT�division�recruits�IT�andtechnical�business�professionals�on�both�apermanent�and�interim/contract�basis�at�alllevels�of�seniority�into�the�financial�servicesand�commerce�and�industry�sectors.
Market�OverviewThe�IT�recruitment�market�remained�relativelystable�in�2012,�although�we�saw�an�increasein�job�levels�in�the�second�half�of�the�yearas�businesses�committed�to�IT�projects�thatwere�business�critical�and�needed�to�bedelivered.�Recruitment�continued�to�be�drivenby�a�variety�of�factors,�ranging�from�businesscritical�implementations�to�employers�movinginto�new�markets,�business�restructures�andeven,�in�some�cases,�growth.
However,�strong�IT�professionals�were�typicallyin�short�supply�across�the�region�-�thiswas�particularly�the�case�in�areas�such�asdevelopment�and�infrastructure.�Businessesgenerally�sought�candidates�with�a�high�levelof�technical�expertise,�along�with�exposureto�specific�technologies.�Few�candidateswith�these�skills�were�proactively�looking�for�anew�job,�meaning�a�headhunt�approach�wastypically�required.
In�addition,�intense�competition�for�talentmeant�the�most�in�demand�professionalstypically�had�more�than�one�opportunity�toconsider.�Because�of�this,�businesses�neededto�offer�high�rates�plus�enticing�benefitspackages�(e.g.�pension,�holiday,�bonus�andhealthcare)�and,�ideally,�job�security�in�order�tosecure�the�best�candidates.�In�addition,�manywere�also�attracted�to�projects�that�enabledthem�to�make�an�impact�on�the�business.
JAVA�and�.Net�developers�were�especially�indemand�due�to�specific�projects�in�this�area.With�a�lack�of�professionals�with�these�skills�inthe�Midlands,�employers�were�willing�to�pay�apremium�for�these�candidates.�Individuals�witharound�4�or�more�years’�experience�were�ableto�demand�London�pay,�while�senior�JAVA
developers�could�command�an�annual�salaryof�£60k.�Where�they�had�difficulty�recruitingsufficiently�skilled�local�talent,�businessesinstead�sought�to�attract�London-baseddevelopers�willing�to�relocate.
There�was�also�an�increased�numberof�business�intelligence�(BI)�and�SAASopportunities�as�businesses�soughtprofessionals�who�were�able�to�analyse�dataand�models�and�identify�trends.�This�wasparticularly�evident�within�the�financial�servicesand�banking�sector,�where�data�and�analyticsexperts�were�especially�sought-after.�Withongoing�change�programmes�occurringacross�the�sector,�IT�specialists�capable�ofimplementing�these�programmes�were�also�indemand.
After�remaining�in�their�existing�roles�andreceiving�little�in�the�way�of�a�salary�increasefor�a�sustained�period�in�many�cases,�most�jobseekers�were�actively�seeking�pay�rises.�Whilesome�professionals�with�in�demand�skill�sets(e.g.�Java�developers)�were�receiving�uplifts,the�majority�were�not�and�expectations�toreceive�a�pay�rise�were�not�always�realistic.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�the�significant�momentum�witnessed�atthe�end�of�2012,�we�remain�optimistic�aboutthe�IT�jobs�market�in�2013.�In�particular,�weexpect�the�contract�market�to�become�morebuoyant�in�2013�as�new�year�budgets�arereleased�and�projects�start�to�be�implemented.Elsewhere,�we�anticipate�continued�demandfor�IT�professionals�with�development,infrastructure�and�business�intelligenceexperience.

Market�OverviewBoth�permanent�and�temporary/interimrecruitment�markets�improved�in�2012,with�job�volumes�higher�than�in�2011.�Mostdemand�was�primarily�driven�by�businessesrecognising�the�need�to�become�morecompetitive.�Employers�were�typically�underresourced�as�a�result�of�previous�cutbackswhich�were�further�compounded�by�anincrease�in�business�activity.
We�saw�particularly�high�demand�foraccountants�at�the�£40�-�50k�salary�level.This�trend�was�primarily�being�driven�byreplacement�hiring�as�accountants�at�this�levelsought�new�challenges�having�remained�intheir�existing�jobs�for�a�sustained�period.
Employers�were�typically�seeking�financeprofessionals�with�commercial�skills�andbusiness�partnering�experience.�We�also�sawdemand�for�strong�technical�accountantsalthough�these�skills�remained�in�short�supplyin�the�current�market.
Hiring�also�occurred�at�the�mid-to-senior�level,with�notable�movement�of�financial�controllersin�the�£50�-�70k�salary�range�creating�demandfrom�employers�-�this�was�especially�the�casein�SME�businesses.�There�were�fewer�financedirector�vacancies�by�comparison�and�therewas�significant�competition�for�jobs�at�thislevel.
We�saw�a�significant�number�of�businessrestructures�over�the�year,�which�led�to�hiringof�contractors.�The�demand�for�contract�staffoccurred�at�all�levels�as�employers�looked�toeither�cover�business-as-usual�(BAU)�activity

IRELA

The Irish recruitment market improved in 2012, with an increase in job levels within both financial services and commercial organisations. As candidate confidence also improved, professionals became more willing to consider new job opportunities thus creating greater movement in the market.
Financial services organisations hired in greater volumes than previous years, particularly in the specialist areas of audit, risk and compliance in preparation for Solvency II implementation. In the second half of the year, credit risk, arrears management and fund accounting specialists were most sought-after as banks continued to expand these functions and manage their distressed mortgage books.
There was increased recruitment activity within multinational commercial organisations, with a particular rise in demand for finance, supply chain and marketing professionals. Although the majority of recruitment was at a senior level where niche skills were mandatory (e.g. Six Sigma, digital marketing, revenue accounting), we also saw an increase in junior positions as many organisations sought to create depth within their teams due to an upturn in business.
As a result of an increased desire among employers to hire, competition for the best talent intensified. Consequently, staff retention became a key priority and counter offers were commonplace. While recruitment processes remained relatively long, they quickened during the second half of the year indicating an increased urgency to secure the right candidates.
Temporary and contract recruitment levels continued to increase across all sectors throughout the year. Longer-term contracts of 2-3 years were popular options for clients looking to circumvent headcount restrictions. Shorter term temporary staff were also in high demand as organisations sought to fill skills gaps resulting from increased workloads.
In 2013, we expect the primary focus to be on sourcing high-calibre staff with specialist skill sets and a proven track record within their industry. We expect the contract recruitment market to be particularly active, with the existing preference for longer term contracts of up to three years to continue as a result of ongoing headcount restrictions. Within commerce and industry, we expect to see the continuation of a somewhat cautious but generally positive approach to permanent hiring during 2013.
We expect salaries to generally remain unchanged; however, professionals with proven sector or technical expertise are likely to receive salary increases of 5-10% when moving to similar positions in competing organisations. For temporary and fixed-term assignments, we anticipate that completion bonuses will become increasingly common as employers seek to retain contractors for the duration of the assignment. Professionals with niche skills within IT, audit and compliance will continue to demand a premium as clients compete for limited candidate resources in these areas.

Candidates�generally�received�salaryincreases�of�up�to�5%�when�moving�roles,although�we�saw�increases�of�10-15%�forindividuals�in�skills-short�areas�such�ascollections/arrears�management�and�fundssupervisory/management.�Despite,�theseincreases�in�pay,�career�progression�andjob�stability�were�of�greater�importance�tocandidates�moving�positions.

Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�accounting�and�financerecruitment�to�remain�steady�during�2013with�continuing�candidate�confidence�inthe�market�as�a�result.�Professionals�areexpected�to�remain�selective�about�packagesoffered�by�prospective�employers�with�careerprogression,�stability�and�work-life�balancetaking�priority�over�financial�gain.�Counteroffers�will�also�become�more�commonplace�in2013�as�organisations�attempt�to�retain�theirtop�talent.

Hiring�activity�remained�strong�withinaccounting�firms,�with�a�marginal�increasein�audit�requirements�compared�to�2011.Recruitment�activity�was�steady�in�thespecialist�advisory,�finance�transformationand�CFO�services�areas�as�well�as�corporatefinance�and�transaction�services,�where�thelarger�firms�sought�mid�to�senior�level�qualifiedfinance�professionals�with�specialist�SSCtransformation�experience�or�M&A�exposure.

We�saw�little�improvement�in�permanentopportunities�for�tax�professionals�withinindustry�as�clients�preferred�to�hire�contractorsin�this�area.�This�preference�allowed�clientsto�strengthen�their�teams�while�circumventingpermanent�headcount�restrictions.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�to�see�the�continuation�of�asomewhat�cautious,�but�generally�positiveapproach�to�permanent�hiring�during�2013and�a�wide�variety�of�finance�roles�to�bereleased.�However,�we�do�not�anticipate�astrong�increase�in�permanent�demand�for�tax
professionals�within�industry�as�employersfocus�on�contract�hires�in�this�area.�We�expectto�see�most�recruitment�activity�within�FMCGand�pharmaceutical�organisations�due�to�therelative�strength�of�these�sectors.
Sales�&�MarketingMarket�OverviewThe�demand�for�sales�and�marketingprofessionals�increased�across�both�industryand�financial�services,�most�notably�withinFMCG,�telecommunications,�retail,�lifeinsurance�and�retail�banking�organisations.There�was�an�increase�in�salaries�for�indemand�specialist�skill�sets,�particularlyfor�marketing�and�communications,�branddevelopment,�strategic�marketing,�consumerinnovation,�transformation�projects�and�seniorbusiness�development�professionals.�Wealso�experienced�increased�demand�forprofessionals�with�more�than�one�Europeanlanguage.

Outlook�for�2013Salaries�are�expected�to�steadily�increaseacross�sales�and�marketing�roles.�Weanticipate�that�demand�will�remain�strong�forprofessionals�with�more�than�one�Europeanlanguage�as�organisations�seek�to�penetratenew�and�existing�markets.�A�premium�will�bepaid�to�these�individuals�for�their�services.
Supply�Chain�&�ProcurementMarket�OverviewSupply�chain�and�procurement�job�levelsincreased�substantially�during�2012.�FMCG,food�manufacturing,�telecoms�and�pharmaremained�the�most�buoyant�sectors�in�termsof�recruitment�activity�overall�in�2012.�Themajority�of�demand�was�from�MNCs�andPLCs�embarking�on�global�transformation
programmes.�As�a�result,�supply�chain�andprocurement�professionals�with�large-scaletransformation�or�change�managementprojects�experience�were�most�sought-after.

Salaries�became�a�key�issue�in�thenegotiation�process�during�2012�as�candidateexpectations�rose.�In�many�cases�theseprofessionals�had�not�received�an�increasesince�2009�and�were�not�prepared�to�movewithout�recieving�a�significant�salary�rise.Depending�on�the�urgency�of�the�assignmentand�the�specialist�skills�sets�required,employers�were�prepared�to�be�flexible�in�thisrespect.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�demand�for�supply�chainand�procurement�professionals�among�smallercompanies�will�increase�during�2013�as�theseemployers�realise�the�cost�savings�theseprofessionals�can�offer.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013
BELG
IUM
The Belgium jobs market proved relatively resilient to the uncertain global economic environment, with employers in the country recruiting for both permanent and interim vacancies throughout 2012. Despite this, we did not see any significant changes in salary levels and recruitment processes lengthened from September onwards.
Organisations in the banking and financial services sectors were particularly cautious in 2012 with some of these companies downsizing their workforces. However, job levels were relatively high in the insurance sector and shortages were evident for certain professionals, including actuaries and solvency specialists.
Outside of financial services, there was also demand for financial controllers and treasury professionals at the 5-10 years’ experience level – especially from multinationals in manufacturing, technology and service industries during the first half of the year. For the majority of finance roles in Belgium, trilingual professionals were sought-after.
Although employers continued to hire contractors and temporary staff, demand for these professionals declined in 2012 with official statistics from Federgon (the federation of employment partners in Belgium) showing temporary job levels were down almost 7% on 2011. Despite this overriding trend, student temporary workers became increasingly in demand following the easing of legal restrictions concerning their employability. These candidates proved an attractive proposition for cost-conscious businesses seeking extra resource.
While the jobs market remains difficult to predict for 2013, many organisations will continue to operate with lean resources and we anticipate that the majority of hiring will be on a replacement basis.

EAs in 2009 and 2011, the French jobs market was characterised by economic instability in 2012. Few individuals received significant pay increases and the variable part of remuneration remained low, impacting optimism in the market and increasing the general feeling of insecurity.
However, these challenging conditions generated significant demand in key areas. Specifically, we saw demand for CEOs, compliance officers, actuaries, IT specialists and R&D engineers during 2012. Despite candidates becoming more reluctant to change jobs, some professionals received salary increments of up to 20% when moving roles, especially within in-demand areas such as corporate finance, tax and legal and insurance.
As most professionals accepted that market conditions were challenging and significant salary increases were therefore rare, many instead focused on other factors when moving jobs. In particular, job seekers became increasingly interested in training and career development opportunities and an appealing and ethical workplace environment.
As market conditions improve, we expect to see a small resurgence in hiring activity from the second half of 2013 onwards with slight increases in salary as a result.

Investment�BankingMarket�OverviewThe�banking�and�financial�services�jobs�marketwas�severely�impacted�by�the�economic�andregulatory�environment�in�2012.�Becauseof�this,�many�firms�implemented�headcountfreezes�and�adopted�a�‘wait-and-see’approach�to�their�recruitment�strategy.
Where�they�did�hire,�banks�focused�onrecruiting�senior�professionals�who�could�addvalue�immediately.�For�example,�intensifyingregulatory�pressure�led�to�increased�demandfor�experienced�cross-functional�riskprofessionals.�For�all�roles,�employers�soughtcandidates�with�strong�technical�skills.
Although�fixed�remuneration�levels�remainedstable�throughout�the�year,�bonus�levelsdropped�significantly�and�overall�payouts�werelower�than�in�2011.
Outlook�for�2013Despite�the�financial�services�market�lookingbleak�heading�into�2013,�we�anticipatepockets�of�recruitment�throughout�the�year.Specifically,�corporate�banking�and�debt�fundsprofessionals�will�remain�in�demand.�However,firms�are�likely�to�primarily�concentrate�onreconsolidating�rather�than�building�theirteams.
Retail�BankingMarket�OverviewRetail�banking�job�levels�fell�in�the�secondhalf�of�2012�as�the�liquidity�crisis�led�theseinstitutions�to�become�more�cautious�in�theirrecruitment�approaches.�This�caution�is�alsoshared�by�candidates,�who�are�more�reluctantto�accept�new�opportunities�and�thereforemore�difficult�to�recruit.
Where�they�were�hiring,�employers�focusedon�recruiting�risk�specialists�or�professionalswho�could�generate�revenue.�While�salaryrises�were�rare,�professionals�in�these�areas�ofexpertise�typically�secured�increases�of�around15%�when�moving�jobs.
Outlook�for�2013In�addition�to�tough�trading�conditions,�banksremain�cautious�due�to�increased�taxationrates�(i.e.�both�payroll�and�employee�savingstaxes),�which�will�be�introduced�imminentlyand�Basel�III�rules�which�are�due�to�come�intoforce�in�January�2013.�However,�the�ageingwork�population�is�likely�to�lead�to�a�relativelyhigh�volume�of�retirements�so�we�expect�firmsto�continue�recruiting.

With Germany experiencing relatively strong economic conditions, job levels remained high in 2012 as both large corporate businesses and SMEs continued to hire. This led to notable salary increases, particularly within finance, HR, IT, marketing and sales, as employers offered attractive salary packages and significant career development opportunities in order to secure the best talent.
The banking sector was the only exception to this, with firms negatively impacted by continuing economic uncertainty in the Eurozone. As a result, banks were cautious about hiring and professionals were reluctant to change roles.
However, recruitment levels were relatively high in other areas. Specifically, the development of new technologies (e.g. mobile and cloud computing) led to demand for sales and marketing professionals in the online and digital space, while HR professionals were increasingly sought-after as organisations looked to optimise their HR processes. As IT departments increasingly became regarded as key drivers of business innovation, IT specialists were also sought-after. Organisations also continued to invest in their finance functions and hired accounting professionals with international experience and language skills to support this growth.
While we expect salary levels will remain consistent moving into 2013, there are likely to be some isolated exceptions, for example, we expect IT professionals and online sales and marketing specialists to receive salary increases as companies continue to invest in new technologies and their online sales channels.
Overall job levels are likely to remain stable as international companies continue to invest in the German market. In particular, demand will continue for experts and senior professionals within IT, sales, finance, risk and compliance. Foreign professionals will also seek new opportunities in Germany, attracted by its relative economic stability in comparison to the rest of Europe.

While the recruitment market in Luxembourg remained stable throughout the majority of 2012, we saw an element of caution among employers in quarter four. For their part, professionals were also reluctant to change roles despite unemployment levels in Luxembourg being amongst the lowest in Europe. The majority of hiring that did occur was the result of employers recruiting on a replacement basis rather than creating new jobs.
Overall, salaries remained stable. However, we saw modest increases for legal, tax and compliance professionals due to the introduction of new legislation and regulation. We expect these trends to continue in 2013, when we anticipate trilingual candidates and legal and tax specialists will be able to command salary increases of around 5% when moving jobs due to the high demand and short supply.
While most candidates sought salary increases when changing roles, the majority considered long-term career prospects a key factor in the decision making process. We expect this trend to continue in 2013.

Within�the�funds�industry�we�saw�increasedhiring�activity�across�the�board�includingwithin�fiduciary,�management�companies,consultancies�and�family�offices.�Financialaccountants,�compliance�officers�and�riskmanagers�were�all�in�high�demand.�Forthese�roles,�organisations�sought�trilingualprofessionals�with�fluency�in�English,�Frenchand�German.�With�these�candidates�inshort�supply,�individuals�with�in�demand�skillsets�could�command�salary�increases�of5-8%.�Finance�professionals�with�specifictax�knowledge�were�also�in�demand�withinconsultancies�and�the�larger�banks.
More�consolidation�within�the�real�estate�andprivate�equity�sectors�and�low�equity�tradinglevels�resulted�in�little�staff�turnover�stable.Most�recruitment�was�predominantly�forreplacement�positions�rather�than�new�hires,with�a�strong�track�record�in�the�business�a

German�candidates,�particularly�accountantsand�chief�financial�officers,�and�salesprofessionals�experienced�in�internationaltechnical�sales,�were�highly�sought-after.Salary�levels�were�often�below�candidateexpectations�as�clients�had�the�pick�of�themarket�and�local�candidates�competedagainst�their�European�counterparts�for�roles.
Human�ResourcesWe�saw�relatively�low�HR�job�levels�in�2012as�many�organisations�kept�their�teams�lean,which�resulted�in�increased�workloads�forexisting�employees�and�additional�pressureon�internal�HR�departments.�However,�wedid�see�limited�demand�for�recruitmentprofessionals�(both�internal�and�external)and�payroll�specialists.�Payroll�departmentsin�particular�were�understaffed�and�somecompanies�looked�to�grow�there�functions�in2012.

SDue to ongoing market instability across the Eurozone, the Dutch recruitment market remained static in 2012 and overall job levels continued to be relatively low. Salaries levels also remained consistent from the previous year.
This overall trend was evident across most job disciplines. While the recruitment market for permanent finance professionals in 2012 remained stable, demand fell for interim finance specialists as worsening economic conditions caused projects that did not immediately contribute to the bottom line to be cancelled or postponed. Similarly, employers were also less keen to hire specialised short-term temporary candidates as budgets tightened.
In keeping with these main trends, we saw little demand for highly skilled banking and financial services professionals as employers in this sector were forced to reduce headcount and/or projects were shelved.
With job levels relatively low, candidates became more reluctant to seek new opportunities. As a result, employers often found it difficult to source professionals with sought-after skills. As few job openings offered genuine career progression, candidates instead focused on longer-term development, with many opting to make horizontal job moves in order to broaden their experience for the future.
With the market remaining challenging, future trends are difficult to predict. If the Dutch economy begins to recover, the recruitment market will clearly improve as both employers and professionals become more confident. If this improvement materialises, interim finance professionals with experience in Hyperion, Cognos and SAP BPC will be the first in demand as employers seek to improve their management information reports. As companies tended to hire fewer junior level finance staff in 2012, we would also anticipate an increased demand for these candidates in 2013.

With�more�than�20�years’�experience�in�theDutch�market,�our�accounting�&�financedivision�has�established�a�strong�reputationfor�placing�high-calibre�finance�professionalsfrom�our�offices�in�Amsterdam,�Eindhovenand�Rotterdam�in�a�variety�of�commerce�andindustry�businesses.�We�specialise�in�therecruitment�of�candidates�with�a�professionalqualification�and/or�academic�degree�andmore�than�one�year's�relevant�experience�atall�levels�in�financial�management,�financialand/or�business�control,�risk�management,audit�and/or�accounting.
Market�OverviewAmsterdamThe�recruitment�market�for�financeprofessionals�stable�in�2012,�with�job�levelsremained�similar�to�2011.�Due�to�economicuncertainty�across�Europe,�the�majority�ofrecruitment�was�replacement-hiring�rather�thannewly-created�positions.�The�one�exception�tothis�was�within�financial�shared�service�centresdue�to�growth�in�these�functions.
The�main�motivation�for�candidates�movingjobs�was�the�relatively�long�period�theyhad�remained�in�their�existing�positions.As�in�2011,�professionals�were�generallyoffered�horizontal�rather�than�vertical�moves.Organisations�continued�to�be�extremelycost-conscious�and�hesitant�to�meetcandidate�requirements�while,�at�the�sametime,�not�being�prepared�to�compromiseon�the�skills�they�were�seeking.�Whenrecruiting�finance�staff,�companies�preferredprofessionals�with�specific�sector�experience.A�streamlined�recruitment�process�provedhighly�beneficial�to�successfully�recruiting�thebest�individuals.
‘Big�4’�candidates�remained�in�demandthroughout�2012.�The�number�of�thesecandidates�willing�to�move�jobs�grew�duringthe�year.�The�deterioration�of�work-lifebalance�within�accounting�firms�was�themain�reason�behind�this�desire.�However,
the�salary�packages�offered�in�practice�weregenerally�higher,�which�further�complicatedthe�recruitment�process�from�both�thecandidate�and�employer�perspective.�Also,organisations�sought�to�recruit�‘Big�4’professionals�in�internal�audit,�financial�controland/or�(corporate)�reporting�and�consolidationpositions.�However,�these�candidates�typicallypreferred�business�control/analysis�andfinance�management�positions.�This�paradoxcomplicates�the�recruitment�process�for�‘Big4’�candidates.
EindhovenThe�Eindhoven�region�remained�the�thirdlargest�economic�area�of�the�Netherlands,�withinvestment�into�research�and�developmentand�innovation�within�the�high�tech�Industriescontinuing.�Within�the�majority�of�othersectors,�however,�we�saw�reduced�hiringactivity,�profit�and�turnover.�In�keeping�withthis�trend,�employers’�became�less�optimisticfrom�quarter�two�onwards.�Some�even�maderedundancies�and/or�outsourced�sharedservice�roles�to�lower�cost�countries.
Due�to�the�increased�value�they�could�add,mid�career�financial�professionals�(i.e.�thosewith�3�-�7�years’�experience)�were�able�tosecure�salary�increases�when�moving�roles.However,�more�senior�candidates�sometimeswere�required�to�take�a�pay�cut�in�orderto�secure�positions�due�to�a�shortage�ofvacancies.
RotterdamAs�one�of�the�largest�ports�in�the�world,Rotterdam�has�been�a�hub�of�internationaltrade�and�commerce�for�centuries�with�itsunique�access�to�continental�Europe�via�theMaas�River.�Although�the�region�was�impactedby�the�global�financial�crisis�at�the�start�of2012,�we�saw�slow�economic�growth�duringthe�remainder�of�the�year.�This�was�reflectedin�cargo�volumes�throughput�the�Port�ofRotterdam�increasing�by�1.7%�during�the�firstnine�months�of�2012.
Consequently,�we�saw�relatively�high�financejob�levels�in�the�manufacturing�and�productionand�chemical�sectors.�While�employmentprospects�within�services�businessesremained�relatively�positive,�however,�overallrecruitment�volumes�fell�modestly.�Similarly,�thenumber�of�accounting�professionals�employedin�the�public�sector�continued�to�decrease.However,�salary�levels�-�excluding�bonuses�-remained�stable.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�the�accountancy�andfinance�jobs�market�will�remain�consistentin�2012�and�the�market�will�continue�to�beimpacted�by�economic�uncertainty�across�theEurozone.�Should�governments�in�the�regionbe�able�to�create�more�trust�in�the�first�halfof�2013,�we�could�see�increased�recruitmentactivity�towards�the�end�of�the�year.
As�companies�tended�to�hire�fewer�juniorfinance�staff�in�2012,�we�anticipate�an�increasein�demand�for�professionals�at�this�level�in2013.
In�the�South�East�region,�recruiting�candidateswith�three�to�seven�years’�experience�isincreasingly�difficult,�a�trend�we�expect�tocontinue�into�2013�and�beyond�as�theseprofessionals�remain�in�demand.
With�little�activity�occurring�at�the�senior�levelin�2012,�we�expect�this�to�remain�the�case�in2013.�Due�to�challenging�market�conditions,salary�levels�are�expected�to�remain�stable.For�similar�reasons,�we�expect�employers�tofocus�on�hiring�staff�on�a�temporary�ratherthan�permanent�basis.

Market�OverviewThe�global�financial�crisis�and�the�uncertainEuropean�economic�situation�meant�job�levelsremained�relatively�low�as�almost�all�financialservices�organisations�were�forced�to�reduceheadcount.�Large�projects�were�postponedor�stopped,�which�led�to�a�further�decreasein�the�number�of�interim�vacancies.�However,hiring�continued�in�some�areas.�Where�thiswas�the�case,�employers�often�found�recruitingprofessionals�with�the�skills�required�difficultdue�to�most�candidates�remaining�hesitant�tochange�jobs.
Finance�&�AccountingDespite�economic�uncertainty,�we�saw�amodest�increase�in�demand�for�qualifiedaccountants�with�financial�services�experience.However,�specific�skills�and�qualificationsremained�critical�key�criteria�for�employerswhen�hiring.�For�example,�‘Big�4’candidateswith�experience�in�financial�services�audit,strong�IFRS�knowledge�and�exposure�tocapital�adequacy�or�liquidity�projects�weresought-after.�These�candidates�were�indemand�for�financial�accounting,�internalaudit�and�or�risk/control�positions.�Qualifiedaccountants�with�solid�structured�finance�andcapital�markets�experience�were�scarce�inthe�market�and�could�therefore�secure�rolesquickly.
Risk�&�ComplianceRisk�and�compliance�vacancy�levels�were�highdue�to�an�intense�regulatory�environment.Within�the�compliance�jobs�market,�seniorspecialists�in�the�field�of�KYC,�CDD,�AML�and

Front�OfficeFor�front�office�roles,�firms�were�seekingrisk�and�relationship�management�ratherthan�sales�experience�-�as�was�typically�thecase.�This�was�primarily�because�banks�werereluctant�to�provide�mortgages�and�financesmall�and�medium-sized�enterprises�due�tochanges�in�economic�capital�regulations.�Mostsought�candidates�with�a�minimum�of�3�years'experience�in�a�client-facing�role.
Salaries�&�BonusesThroughout�the�first�half�of�the�year,�wewitnessed�a�slight�decrease�in�salary�andinterim�rate�levels�due�to�an�oversupply�ofavailable�candidates�in�the�market.�As�somefinancial�institutions�introduced�new�bonusschemes,�this�led�to�lower�bonus�payments�tostaff.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�the�market�uncertainty�created�by�thenew�Dutch�government,�economic�instabilityand�the�financial�crisis�in�the�Eurozone,we�expect�the�first�half�of�2013�to�remainchallenging�with�further�headcount�reductionstaking�place�across�the�financial�servicessector.
However,�demand�will�continue�in�isolatedareas.�For�example,�constant�scrutiny�fromDutch�regulators�is�likely�to�lead�to�increaseddemand�for�risk�management,�audit�and�frontoffice�staff.�For�similar�reasons,�we�expecthighly�specialist�compliance�experts�will�besought-after�in�retail�banking�while�demand�forfinancial�and�business�controllers�is�expectedto�remain�stable.

Market�OverviewWe�saw�a�significant�slowdown�in�the�interimfinance�jobs�market�in�the�last�quarter�of�2011and�first�quarter�of�2012�due�to�increasedinsecurities�caused�by�the�Eurozone�financialcrisis.�During�this�period,�projects�that�did�notimmediately�influence�the�bottom�line�werecancelled�or�postponed,�which�resulted�infewer�vacancies�in�this�area.

Market�OverviewHR�job�levels�rose�slightly�within�commercialbusinesses�and�financial�services�in�2012�asmore�of�these�employers�invested�in�their�HRfunctions.�HR�generalists�and�HR�businesspartners�were�most�sought-after,�althoughthere�was�also�a�noticeable�increase�indemand�for�HR�specialists,�reflecting�changingpriorities�among�commercial�businesses.Companies�recruited�a�greater�number�oflearning�and�development�professionals�andcompensation�and�benefits�specialists.�Theseindividuals�were�sought-after�as�companies
reviewed�their�reward�structures�and�looked�toretain�their�top�talent.�Salary�levels�remainedcomparable�to�2012.
Although�higher�volumes�of�senior�HRprofessionals�were�looking�for�newopportunities,�many�candidates�still�favouredthe�stability�of�their�existing�roles�and�werenot�actively�looking�to�move.�As�a�result,employers�generally�needed�to�be�flexible�inthe�salaries�they�offered�to�attract�the�besttalent.

Our�information�technology�division�recruitsIT�professionals�on�both�a�permanent�andtemporary�basis�in�the�Netherlands.�We�focus(but�not�limit)�our�attention�to�recruiting�forfive�key�vacancies:�I(C)T�managers,�projectmanagers,�business�consultants,�businessanalysts�and�information�managers.
Market�OverviewThroughout�2012,�demand�for�IT�specialistswas�relatively�high,�with�overall�job�levelsincreasing�compared�to�2011.�This�wasthe�case�in�the�majority�of�our�focus�areas,although�hiring�of�generic�IT�managers�was�anexception�to�this�trend.�In�this�area,�we�sawan�increased�supply�of�high-quality�candidateswho�were�unable�to�find�the�job�that�suitedtheir�theoretical�and�practical�background.
However,�information�manager�and�analystvacancies�grew�significantly�in�comparison�to2011.�Due�to�employers�increasingly�seekingto�use�ERP�systems,�professionals�with�this
knowledge�and�experience�were�stillfavoured�by�recruiting�businesses�over�thosecandidates�who�were�not�from�this�specificbackground.
Due�to�the�global�financial�crisis,�we�saw�anincrease�in�the�number�of�IT�professionalsseeking�new�jobs.�As�a�result,�salary�growthwas�relatively�limited,�with�interim�rates�falling.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�I(C)T�managers,�project�managers,business�consultants,�business�analysts�andinformation�managers�to�be�in�demand�in2013.�IT�candidates�with�a�proven�track�record(i.e.�strong�communication�and�managerialexperience�and�results-driven�attitude)�will�beespecially�sought-after�as�employers�look�totheir�IT�functions�to�offer�result-driven�businesssupport.
Permanent�salary�levels�will�remain�similar�in2012.�The�only�exception�to�this�is�where�an
individual�can�demonstrate�the�positive�impactthey�will�have�on�the�bottom�line.�Interim�ratesare�also�likely�to�remain�consistent�in�2013.

Our�legal�division�is�one�of�the�marketleaders�in�the�recruitment�of�professionalswith�a�recognised�law�degree�and�relevantexperience�within�commerce�and�industry,financial�services�and�law�firms.�We�offer�bothpermanent�and�temporary�solutions�across�theNetherlands.
Market�Overviewprivate�practice�recruitment�levels�remainedstable�in�the�first�half�of�2012�and�increasedslightly�throughout�the�second�half�of�the�year.However,�we�saw�fluctuating�demand�forin-house�legal�professionals�throughout�theyear.
In-houseWhile�job�levels�in�commerce�andindustry�varied�throughout�2012,�wesaw�notable�demand�in�some�specificareas.�In�particular,�businesses�within�thetechnology,�construction,�energy,�FMCG�andtelecommunication�sector�were�the�mostactive�recruiters.
Legal�counsels�with�three�to�six�years’post-qualified�experience�were�most�indemand�and�these�professionals�receivedcompetitive�salary�offers.�Language�abilitiesand�cross-jurisdictional�experience�were�oftenhighly�valued.�As�the�roles�they�were�recruitingfor�typically�had�a�wide�remit,�employers
sought�commercially-aware�legal�counselswho�could�add�value�to�the�business.
While�impacted�by�market�conditions,recruitment�activity�within�the�financial�servicessector�increased�slowly�during�the�secondhalf�of�2012.�Lawyers�with�capital�markets,restructuring/refinancing�and�LMA�knowledgewere�in�highest�demand�within�businesses�inthis�space.
Interestingly,�there�was�an�increase�in“sole�counsel”�roles�among�businesseslooking�to�reduce�the�costs�associatedwith�outsourcing�their�legal�work.�For�thesepositions,�employers�sought�senior�profileswith�a�broad�(international)�contract�lawbackground.Most�lawyers�who�looked�to�move�from�aprivate�practice�to�in-house�role�were�notprimarily�motivated�by�an�increase�in�salary.Instead,�many�sought�the�opportunity�togain�exposure�to�a�more�commercial�rolewhere�their�work�had�a�direct�impact�on�theorganisation.
Private�PracticeThe�private�practice�recruitment�marketimproved�during�2012�despite�challengingmarket�conditions,�with�particular�demand�forjunior�associates�with�4-6�years’�PQE.�As�in2011,�medium-sized�and�niche�law�firms
recruited�most�consistently�as�they�sought�tomanage�increased�workloads.�Notably,�wesaw�demand�within�these�institutions�at�thepartner�level.
Recruitment�activity�encompassed�a�broadrange�of�practice�areas.�While�demandacross�corporate�M&A�fell,�we�saw�increasedhiring�within�finance�and�restructuring,�EUcompetition�and�litigation.
Outlook�for�2013In-houseWhile�the�market�remains�unpredictable,we�expect�it�to�improve�slightly�in�2013with�a�progressive�increase�in�recruitmentdemand�for�mid-to-senior�level�commercialand�regulatory�lawyers�as�a�result�of�increasedlegislation.�Uncertain�economic�conditionsmay�also�cause�contract�job�levels�to�increase.Base�salary�levels�are�likely�to�remain�stable�in2013.
Private�PracticeWe�expect�continued�hiring�despitechallenging�market�conditions.�In�particular,�weexpect�demand�for�(corporate)�litigation�andrestructuring�lawyers�to�continue,�while�nicheand�medium-sized�law�firms�will�continue�tohire�partners�with�portable�business�networks.However,�we�expect�salary�levels�to�remainstable.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013
SPAIn
Spain's unemployment rate jumped to a record high of 25% in the third quarter of 2012. This figure had been increasing since the second quarter of 2007, when it stood at 8%. With the economy in a double-dip recession, we expect unemployment levels to continue rising into the first half of 2013.
Despite these obvious challenges, there were pockets of recruitment activity with some sectors performing better than others. For example, we saw high demand within IT firms for senior sales professionals, experienced project managers and mobility experts, with cloud and mobile technology the two key drivers for growth.
As organisations looked to international markets to generate revenue, they sought analysis, corporate development, strategy and project finance professionals. Financial controllers and financial planning and analysis professionals were also in demand as companies looked for individuals who could help them manage costs.
The engineering sector was also relatively active as Spanish companies won infrastructure and energy related projects in South America and the EMEA region. Project managers were sought-after among these businesses to work on an expatriate basis onsite.
The 2013 state draft budget, unveiled in 2012, included new consolidation measures and a structural reforms programme. As a result, we are quietly optimistic regarding the jobs market and expect recruitment activity levels to increase moderately in the second half of 2013 as these reforms come into effect.

dAlthough economic fundamentals (i.e. inflation and interest rates, budget deficit and consumer confidence) remained relatively strong in Switzerland in 2012, recruitment volumes fell throughout the year as global market conditions worsened.
Financial institutions, a key sector of the Swiss economy, were particularly under pressure. However, this was a consequence of increasing regulatory pressure rather than the Eurozone financial crisis. As international regulations put pressure on firms to increase transparency, assets under management and margins decreased, which led to redundancies in some organisations and an overall decrease in recruitment levels.
Most recruitment that occurred in the financial services sector took place in specific niche areas – for example, risk and compliance professionals were in demand due to the aforementioned regulatory squeeze. However, insurance companies proved more resilient to the crisis than banks and were relatively active in the recruitment market – particularly in the first half of the year. Within the commercial sector, we saw steady demand for talent in some niche areas such as energy and medical devices businesses. We saw specific demand within these employers for local GAAP and transfer pricing expertise, along with other Swiss-specific treasury and tax knowledge.
Most recruitment took place within Swiss companies, which primarily sought candidates with local experience. However, these professionals were in short supply as the majority of individuals who sought new opportunities were international candidates. By contrast, demand decreased within international companies headquartered in Switzerland, which instead sought to fill vacancies by promoting or transferring staff from other offices.
While overall salary levels generally remained stable, we saw slight increases in some isolated areas. As an example, heads of treasury with 5 years’ experience earned up to CHF200k during the year, compared to CHF200k in 2011.
The recruitment market remains difficult to predict and we do not expect to see significant salary increases over the next 12 months. However, we are confident that strong economic conditions in Switzerland and high productivity levels will lead to job levels increasing subject to the rest of Europe continuing to recover from the economic crisis.

Our�banking�and�financial�services�division�inZürich�recruits�professionals�into�permanentand�interim�roles�in�investment�banking,private�banking,�asset�management�andinsurance�companies�across�Switzerland.
Market�OverviewThroughout�2012,�banking�recruitmentvolumes�remained�relatively�low,�particularlywithin�investment�and�support�functions.
The�private�banking�sector�underwentstructural�changes�following�strong�pressurefrom�international�and�local�regulators.The�acquisition�cost�of�a�private�client�roseand�margins�tightened�due�to�poor�marketperformance�and�strong�client�aversion�torisks.�As�a�result,�a�number�of�companiesmade�redundancies�as�some�corporatefunctions�were�outsourced�internationallyto�save�costs.�This�impacted�negatively�onthe�recruitment�market�as�professionalsfaced�an�uncertain�future.�Private�bankerswere�reluctant�to�change�employers,�whichled�to�a�lack�of�top�talent�available�in�themarket.�Where�they�did�move,�it�was�toindependent�organisations�without�the�productand�compliance�constraints�in�place�at�themain�market�players.
However,�as�the�key�regulatory�projects(FATCA,�MiFID,�Rubik�tax�agreementsand�Basel�lll)�put�pressure�on�banks�to�becompliant,�we�saw�demand�for�compliance,risk�and�audit�professionals,�with�salariesremaining�strong�in�these�areas�as�a�result.
Within�the�corporate�and�investment�bankingsector,�we�saw�steady�hiring�during�the�year.strong�credit�conditions�enabled�companiesto�invest�in�Switzerland,�which�createdopportunities�in�this�sector�for�professionals.For�these�roles,�firms�primarily�sought�localcandidates.
Demand�for�front�office�sales�professionalsremained�consistent�throughout�the�yearin�private�banking,�asset�management�andcapital�markets�(mainly�brokerage).�Althoughthe�establishment�of�several�new�companiescreated�employment�opportunities,�themarket�became�very�competitive�and�bonusesdecreased�as�a�result.
Within�the�insurance�and�reinsurance�sector,demand�remained�strong�for�experts�withspecific�skills.�Underwriters,�actuaries,�riskmanagers�and�finance�professionals�fromALM�backgrounds�were�in�particular�demand.A�combination�of�salaries�that�were�40%higher�than�neighbouring�countries�and�theestablishment�of�new�reinsurance�companiesattracted�international�candidates�to�Zürich.
Outlook�for�2013Within�private�banking,�we�expect�joblevels�to�remain�relatively�low�due�to�marketuncertainty.�There�will�still�be�opportunitiesas�some�banks�focus�on�key�and�emergingmarkets�(Russia/CIS,�Latam,�Middle�Eastand�North�Africa),�but�salaries�are�unlikely�torise�significantly.�Compliance,�risk�and�privatebankers�will�be�in�particular�demand.
Independent�asset�manager�platforms,trusts�and�family�offices�should�also�createopportunities�for�banking�professionals.Within�the�insurance�sector,�headcount�atmany�firms�is�generally�made�up�of�a�highproportion�of�overseas�professionals.�As�aresult,�recruitment�volumes�are�likely�to�remainstrong�in�2013�with�replacement�hiring�a�keyfocus.

After two years of significant recruitment activity, the hiring decrease we predicted at the end of 2011 materialised during 2012 as multinational companies operating in Brazil, along with local Brazilian organisations, were impacted by global economic conditions.
In keeping with this trend, economic figures fell below expectations – GDP growth decreased to 1% at the end of 2012 after an initial prediction of 4.5% (this followed a similar pattern to 2011, when GDP grew 3.8% after an initial 7% estimate). However, the unemployment rate (5.3% in October 2012) remained consistent and below the overall average of the past decade (of just below 10%).
Decreasing vacancy levels impacted overall job seeker confidence. While the salary on offer remained a key motivation for professionals looking to move roles, they were increasingly attracted to positions offering long-term career prospects (i.e. promises of career development and training) and overall job security.
Although salaries for management-level professionals remained among the highest in the world, the depreciation of the value of the real in 2012 in comparison to the main currencies (e.g. US dollar, euro) had an impact on the earning potential of these individuals. This, combined with the reality of recent economic conditions, meant that some candidates were willing to accept comparatively lower salaries to secure more attractive roles.
However, we are confident that the jobs market will improve in 2013. After being extremely cost conscious for a sustained period, employers will need to staff their teams as consumer confidence grows, the oil and gas sector strengthens and the volume of major infrastructure projects increase in advance of the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013
USA
In the US, Robert Walters has offices in New York City and San Francisco. While the New York office concentrates mostly on banking and financial services (among other disciplines), San Francisco works almost exclusively within the technology industry.
New YorkThroughout 2012, trends in the jobs market followed broadly similar patterns to 2011. Although the unemployment rate improved slightly, we did not see a notable increase in hiring initiatives or job levels in any disciplines. Firms were very selective, but willing to hire quality candidates who launched aggressive job searches and could prove value with cost-cutting or operational improvement ideas.
Compensation levels remained consistent with 2011 as businesses were still gaining confidence as the US transitions through a time of economic uncertainty. Some companies showed initial interest in hiring only to change their minds and stall later in the process. While the US did see an overall increase in the total number of roles released over 2011, job levels in 2012 were not as high as many economists and hiring managers predicted. This is partly due to the fact that many companies who lost employees in 2012 sought to replace only around half of the staff that left.
In 2013, macro events will continue to shape the labour market. The extent of the economic impact is still unknown due to lingering economic issues. We expect to see slow and steady growth in hiring as these large scale problems are progressively addressed.
San FranciscoIn contrast to the broader US economy, the San Francisco Bay Area (a global technology hub) recovered strongly from the recession. This trend continued in 2012 when job levels within the tech space increased significantly. As a result, competition for talent was at its fiercest since the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s, with employers going to great lengths to attract and retain top employees. Significant salary increases, large sign-on bonuses, sizeable equity stakes and various other perks, such as free meals and shuttle services, were the norm in 2012. Large companies and start-ups with venture capital funding were particularly aggressive in their pursuit of high-calibre candidates.
In particular, product management professionals with advanced computer science and math degrees were in high demand within the mobile app space. In the cloud/SaaS space, marketing professionals with user acquisition experience and top sales performers were highly sought-after.
In 2013, we expect job levels to remain high and competition for the best candidates to become even more intense. As a result, compensation levels (including bonuses, equity stakes and additional perks) are likely to rise in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Market�OverviewWe�saw�irregular�hiring�patterns�acrossthe�risk�management�and�quantitative�jobsmarket�in�2012�as�the�Eurozone�crisiscontinued�to�affect�the�US�banking�industry.Banking�regulation�reform,�as�well�as�the2012�US�presidential�elections,�added�to�thisuncertainty�across�the�financial�markets�andmany�firms�laid�off�staff�during�the�year.
With�the�potential�restrictiveness�ofDodd-Frank�remaining�unclear,�manybulge�bracket�firms�were�cautious�in�theirrisk�management�and�quantitative�hiringapproaches.�Firms�also�looked�to�fill�manyroles�with�internal�candidates�wheneverpossible.
However,�growth�was�evident�in�the�derivativesclearing�space�as�new�regulations�led�firms�tomigrate�their�trading�processes�in�this�area�tonew�exchanges.�This�caused�many�banks�andclearing�firms�to�add�headcount�in�all�areas�ofrisk�management�and�quantitative�functions.
We�also�witnessed�some�growth�in�the�theretail�banking�sector,�where�we�saw�demandfor�quantitative�risk�and�model�validationprofessionals�as�employers�sought�to�keep�upwith�new�model�regulations.

LIAThe Australian economy proved relatively robust in early 2012 and headline figures remained comparatively healthy in contrast to many other countries. However, a combination of the slowdown of the mining and resources sector, the Chinese economic deceleration and the affects of global economic uncertainty eroded business confidence.
The well-publicised slowdown of the resources sector led the government to review its own revenue forecasts, which affected momentum and sentiment in the wider economy. Concerns over the costs of major mining and resources activities led many organisations to re-evaluate local investments, leading to projects and hiring being put on hold. This trend was particularly exaggerated in Queensland as the new State government implemented cost and investment cutting measures.
These tough trading conditions led to limited growth in the financial services and property sectors, both traditionally major employers, resulting in reduced hiring activity. Recruitment processes also lengthened, especially at senior levels as organisations became more cautious and therefore took longer to sign-off new roles and approve increased headcount.
The Australian market will continue to be influenced by international trading conditions in 2013. However, there are indications of recovery in the resources sector as projects put on hold in 2012 are restarted. This is likely to have a positive effect on the wider economy, leading to increased confidence in all areas. Despite difficult trading conditions in 2012, even slight increases in momentum should lead to increased recruitment in 2013.

Our�Brisbane�accounting�&�commerce�andindustry�division�consists�of�experiencedconsultants�who�focus�on�the�permanentand�contract�recruitment�needs�of�clientsand�candidates.�Our�client�base�rangesfrom�international�and�ASX-listed�companiesthrough�to�SMEs�in�a�range�of�industrieswithin�the�Queensland�market.�We�providea�thorough�and�consultative�service�to�bothour�clients�and�candidates,�from�juniortransactional�roles�right�up�to�the�seniorfinancial�management�level.
Market�OverviewThe�inconsistent�hiring�patterns�that�werepresent�in�the�accounting�and�financecommercial�market�in�2011�continuedthroughout�2012�and�the�change�in�stategovernment�had�a�significant�impact�on�thecommercial�market.�The�new�government’sfocus�on�a�‘four�pillar�economy’�of�tourism,agriculture,�resources�and�constructioncontributed�to�recruitment�activity�in�theseareas,�with�further�investment�expected�during2013.�However,�fluctuating�resource�pricesin�the�first�half�of�2012�led�to�a�number�ofkey�projects�being�put�on�hold�throughoutQueensland.
Permanent�recruitment�was�busier�in�2012than�was�originally�anticipated�at�the�start�ofthe�year�as�organisations�that�had�restructuredover�the�past�few�years�began�to�rebuild�atthe�transactional�and�newly-qualified�level.Despite�this�activity,�permanent�recruitmentwas�still�quiet�for�senior�finance�executives�inthe�first�half�of�the�year�before�improving�inquarter�three�as�market�confidence�increased.Generally,�hiring�at�the�senior�end�was�as�aresult�of�replacement�rather�than�growth.
Contract�recruitment�in�2012�was�relativelystable.�In�the�first�half�of�the�year,�businessanalysts�and�project�accountants�werein�demand�as�companies�continued�toanalyse�their�profitability�and�ensured�currentprojects�were�as�cost�effective�as�possible.
Organisations�that�were�going�throughstructural�changes�were�able�to�secure�somehigh�quality�candidates�at�reduced�ratesin�2012.�This�was�largely�due�to�the�senioraccountants�on�the�market�accepting�contractroles�at�lower�pay�rates�to�keep�themselves�inthe�workforce.
Recruitment�activity�varied�from�industry�toindustry.�Most�of�the�hiring�activity�in�2012�wasin�mining�and�resources,�utilities,�engineering,construction,�retail,�FMCG�and�SMEs.�Thiswas�largely�due�to�steady�investment�in�theheavy�industries�sector�and�the�continuedresilience�of�some�recession�proof�industries.Salaries�remained�stable�across�most�levelsof�accounting,�due�to�continued�impacts�fromthe�global�market�and�pressure�on�costs.Increases�to�the�candidate�pool�saw�greatercompetition�for�jobs�and�some�reductionin�salaries,�mainly�at�the�senior�accountingexecutive�level.�This�was�largely�the�resultof�the�previously�mentioned�corporaterestructures,�the�impact�of�the�change�ingovernment�and�fluctuating�resource�prices.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�a�positive�shift�in�2013,�asthe�position�of�most�organisations�andindustries�continues�to�improve�on�the�backof�a�strengthening�market.�If�the�Queenslandgovernment�focuses�on�outsourcing�someservices,�this�should�drive�an�increase�inproductivity�and�hiring�across�a�numberof�industries.�We�also�expect�traditional‘recession�proof’�industries�such�as�healthand�aged�care,�FMCG,�utilities,�educationand�services�to�continue�to�hire�accountingprofessionals.
We�expect�salary�levels�for�transactionaland�newly-qualified�accountants�to�rise,�asthe�demand�for�top�junior�talent�continues.Executive�level�candidates�seeking�salariesof�$150k+�will�again�encounter�very�strongcompetition,�as�those�looking�for�work�atthis�level�become�more�flexible�in�what�they
apply�for.�Those�with�solid�industry�specificexperience�will�have�the�advantage�in�themarket,�as�employers�have�a�greater�choice�ingetting�exactly�what�they�want.

Market�OverviewThe�shift�in�political�power�from�the�Labourto�the�Liberal�National�Party�as�a�result�of�theMarch�election�began�a�period�of�significantreform.�A�focus�on�restoring�the�state’sfiscal�balance�and�a�commitment�to�reducegovernment�spending�had�a�direct�impacton�recruitment�within�state�government�andgovernment-owned�corporations�(GOCs).State�departments�were�restructured�and�thetraditional�number�of�contractors�employed�bythe�public�sector�significantly�reduced.�Savingstargets�spread�to�permanent�employees,�withthousands�offered�redundancy�packages�ina�bid�to�reduce�overall�employment�spend.GOCs�were�also�given�headcount�percentagereduction�targets.
In�contrast,�we�saw�an�increase�in�hiring�withinnot�for�profits�during�2012,�which�was�drivenby�significant�staff�movement�in�this�space.Staffing�numbers�within�local�governmentsalso�remained�steady,�a�factor�directlyreflective�of�the�lack�of�demand�or�competitionfor�staff�from�state�government�and�GOCs,�asthese�organisations�have�previously�recruitednew�hires�from�this�market.
Changes�to�funding�models�for�universitiesaffected�hiring�patterns�throughout�the�latterhalf�of�the�year.�Whilst�these�shifts�didn’tlead�to�a�decline�in�job�levels,�they�redirected
the�focus�from�permanent�to�fixed�term�andcontract�headcount,�providing�organisationswith�greater�flexibility.
However,�we�saw�a�fall�in�overall�hiringdemand�within�the�public�sector�towardsthe�end�of�2012.�This�resulted�in�a�declinein�remuneration�expectations,�particularly�atthe�support�and�transactional�level.�Only�themost�highly�skilled�professionals�were�securingroles�and,�when�managers�were�hiring,there�was�an�increased�focus�on�appointingmulti-skilled�candidates�who�could�be�utilisedmore�effectively�across�finance�units.
Outlook�for�2013Lean�structures�across�state�governmentand�GOCs,�combined�with�limitations�onincreasing�permanent�headcount�beforefinancial�year�end,�will�result�in�increaseddemand�for�contract�professionals�in�the�firsthalf�of�the�year.�These�roles�will�have�a�veryclear�remit�with�employers�having�specificexpectations�regarding�timeframes�and�returnon�investment.
University�enrolment�numbers�are�expectedto�have�a�direct�impact�on�the�market.�Afteradopting�conservative�hiring�approachesbefore�new�funding�structures�were�finalised,the�most�sought-after�institutions�will�hiresignificantly�at�the�beginning�of�the�year�toensure�demands�are�met.�However,�not�forprofits�are�expected�to�rationalise�their�hiringapproach�and�seek�to�bed�in�new�structuresafter�recruiting�in�2012.�Local�governmentbodies�are�expected�to�again�hold�firm�withthe�majority�of�recruitment�being�replacementrather�than�new�headcount.
There�is�major�speculation�that�stategovernment�institutions�will�re-hire�in�thesecond�half�in�2013.�However,�we�expect�asignificant�shift�in�recruitment�strategy�as�theseemployers�seek�finance�professionals�with�amore�commercial�outlook.
In�order�to�secure�the�best�available�talent,speedy�hiring�processes�will�be�critical�in2013.�Strong�candidates�will�continue�tobe�available�but�employers�that�managethe�process�efficiently�will�ensure�they�gainindividuals�with�the�most�in�demand�skill�setsand�the�greatest�value�for�money.

Our�engineering�&�construction�divisionrecruits�all�areas�of�personnel�in�the�design,EPCM,�contract�and�consulting�industries,from�project�and�construction�managersto�site�engineers�and�foremen.�Withinthe�construction�market�we�mainly�covercommercial�and�civil�engineering,�dealing�withall�non-blue�collar�roles.�In�the�engineeringspace�we�predominantly�work�with�consultingengineering�firms,�recruiting�roles�fromengineering�managers�to�design�drafters�inmulti-disciplined�areas�such�as�electrical,mechanical,�rail,�environmental�and�civil.
Market�OverviewThere�were�two�distinct�trends�in�theengineering�and�construction�market�during2012.�For�the�first�six�months�demand�steadilyincreased�for�staff,�particularly�in�areas�suchas�major�infrastructure,�marine�and�rail-relatedprojects.�This�activity�was�primarily�driven�bythe�resources�sector,�oil�and�gas,�as�well�asmining�where�projects�in�North�Queenslandwere�still�in�full�progress.
The�commercial�and�residential�construction
sectors�remained�steady�throughout�the�year.There�were�slight�decreases�in�salaries�in�thesebusinesses�due�to�low�tender�proposal�levelsand�few�significant�new�projects�in�the�market.
In�the�second�half�of�the�year,�we�saw�themarket�take�a�dramatic�change�due�to�a�newQueensland�government�coming�to�power.This�led�to�a�reduction�in�new�projects�beingreleased�which�had�a�negative�impact�on�jobvolumes�in�the�infrastructure�industry.
Demand�was�greatest�in�the�oil�and�gassector�due�to�a�number�of�initiatives�in�thesebusinesses�in�the�construction�phase�oftheir�lifecycle.�This�investment�led�to�a�rapidincrease�in�demand�for�construction�workerswith�oil�and�gas�backgrounds.
We�also�noted�that�salaries�in�specific�areasincreased�as�organisations�became�moreflexible�during�the�recruitment�process�as�theysought�to�attract�the�best�talent.�For�example,salaries�for�principal�design�engineers�are�now$180k�(compared�to�$155k�in�2012),�whileproject�managers�are�now�being�paid�$180k
(compared�to�$160k�previously).�Theseincreases�were�intended�to�create�acompetitive�gap�in�the�market�and�draw�innew�talent�from�competing�organisations.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�to�see�greater�demand�for�skilledworkers�within�the�oil�and�gas�sector�in2013�as�projects�in�their�construction�phasecontinue�to�progress.�We�also�anticipatean�increased�demand�for�staff�in�the�railindustry�with�specific�projects,�such�asthe�Moreton�Bay�rail�link,�also�entering�theconstruction�phase�in�late�2013.�The�CrossRiver�Rail�improvement�is�expected�to�goahead�(subject�to�government�funding)�andthis�will�further�stimulate�the�need�for�a�varietyof�multi-disciplined�engineers�(i.e.�individualswith�civil,�geotechnical�and�rail�experience).Due�to�the�shortage�of�candidates�in�thesemarket�sectors,�we�anticipate�that�salaries�forcandidates�with�this�specialist�knowledge�willincrease.

Our�human�resources�&�safety�divisionspecialises�in�permanent�and�contractrecruitment�across�all�levels�of�humanresources�and�health�and�safety,�coveringgeneralist�and�specialist�roles.�We�recruitacross�a�range�of�local�SMEs,�globalcorporations�and�the�public�sector.�We�havealso�launched�a�flexible�resourcing�solution�inthe�OHS�market.�This�will�ensure�organisationsare�able�to�have�full�control�over�budgetswhen�outsourcing�set�pieces�of�work.�It�willbe�of�particular�interest�to�clients�who�havea�number�of�occupational�health�and�safetyaudits�to�manage�throughout�the�year.
Market�OverviewWhile�recruitment�levels�were�high�in�the�HRsector�in�the�first�half�of�2012�they�fell�in�thesecond�half�of�the�year�due�to�uncertaintyin�the�Queensland�economy�which�causeda�number�of�major�projects�to�be�placed�onhold.
However,�there�was�still�significant�activitywithin�certain�sectors�of�the�market�during�thisperiod.�OH&S�managers�were�in�high�demandas�organisations�continued�to�implementharmonised�OH&S�legislation.�HR�coordinatorsand�advisors�were�also�highly�sought-after�asbusinesses�looked�to�ensure�the�application�ofvalue-adding�HR�strategies�across�all�aspectsof�the�business.
Due�to�ongoing�economic�uncertainty�in�thesecond�half�of�the�year,�a�number�of�largerorganisations�began�to�make�slight�headcountreductions.�However,�growth�within�SMEscontinued.�This�market�shift�allowed�thesesmaller�businesses�to�attract�top�talent�thatmight�previously�not�have�been�available�tothem�due�to�the�salary�expectations�of�thesecandidates�falling.�This�market�trend�is�set�tocontinue�until�the�market�has�stabilised�andthe�larger�organisations�seek�to�upsize�theirteams�again.
While�the�permanent�job�market�wasnegatively�affected�in�the�second�half�ofthe�year,�the�HR�and�OH&S�contractingmarket�improved�significantly�in�quarter�three.Companies�sought�to�recruit�candidates�onshort-term�contracts�for�specific�projectsensuring�coverage�and�business�continuity.Although�there�were�limited�opportunitieswithin�the�public�sector�due�to�stategovernment�headcount�reductions,�this�alsoled�to�an�uplift�in�demand�for�HR�contractors.
Outlook�for�2013As�organisations�seek�to�retain�their�besttalent,�the�HR�function�will�remain�integral�tothe�success�of�businesses.�As�a�result,�weexpect�recruitment�levels�to�increase�in�quarterone.�They�are�then�likely�to�remain�consistentin�quarter�two�before�increasing�steadily�fromquarter�three�as�market�confidence�returns.
Salary�levels�are�expected�to�remain�mostlyunchanged,�although�organisations�are�likelyto�be�prepared�to�pay�a�premium�to�attract�thebest�talent.�We�also�expect�job�levels�in�thecontract�market�to�increase�throughout�2013as�organisations�that�are�unwilling�to�recruiton�a�permanent�basis�look�to�cover�workloadsduring�busy�periods.

Market�OverviewJob�levels�across�the�technology�sector�werebuoyant�in�the�first�half�of�2012�but�fell�in�thesecond�half�of�the�year�as�consolidation�ofprojects�and�a�change�of�government�led�tofewer�opportunities�becoming�available.
The�change�of�state�government�led�to�asignificant�shift�in�how�it�approached�themanagement�of�costs,�which�affected�boththe�project�and�operating�environments.�Thegovernment�reassessed�projects�across�allindustries�as�an�unprecedented�amount�ofthese�were�either�cancelled�or�put�on�hold.�Asa�result,�we�saw�a�reduction�in�the�contractorand�temporary�workforce�population�as�thegovernment�sought�to�recover�costs.�Withthe�security�of�government�roles�impactedby�this�development,�long-term�governmentcontractors�were�instead�looking�interstate�fornew�job�opportunities.
Recruitment�activity�within�the�private�sectorremained�stable�throughout�the�first�half�of�theyear.�This�was�driven�by�demand�for�specialistcontractors�across�a�large�number�of�ongoingIT�projects�in�oil�and�gas,�banking�and�finance,insurance�and�aviation.�Outsourcing�alsoincreased�in�the�private�sector�due�to�publiclylisted�companies�looking�to�reduce�costs�andpartner�on�projects�as�they�sought�to�sharerisks�and�operational�headcount.
Outlook�for�2013Although�the�jobs�market�in�the�secondhalf�of�2012�proved�challenging,�weexpect�2013�to�be�a�year�of�change�andopportunity.�With�several�years�of�underinvestment�in�technology�due�to�economic�andenvironmental�volatility,�the�government�shouldprioritise�key�technology�investments�whichwill�lead�to�greater�hiring�activity.�Organisationsacross�all�sectors�will�also�have�to�improvebusiness�processes�by�utilising�the�latesttechnology�and�this�will�lead�to�an�increase�injob�opportunities�for�IT�professionals.

Our�legal�division�focuses�on�recruitingtemporary,�contract�and�permanent�roleswithin�private�practice,�government�andcommerce�and�industry.�We�recruit�at�all�levelsof�seniority,�from�paralegals�to�corporatecounsels,�junior�lawyers�to�partners�andgeneral�counsel/head�of�legal.�Our�clientbase�includes�top-tier,�mid-tier�and�boutiquelaw�firms,�government�authorities�andcorporations,�blue-chip�companies�and�othercommercial�leaders.
Market�OverviewVolumes�of�legal�job�levels�were�relatively�highin�Brisbane�at�the�start�of�2012.�Both�privatepractice�firms�and�corporate�businesses�werekeen�to�hire�legal�professionals�at�all�levelsto�support�ongoing�client�demand,�whichwas�driven�primarily�by�the�resources�andinfrastructure�sectors.�We�even�saw�someincreases�in�salary�levels,�specifically�forcandidates�with�direct�industry�experiencein�the�mining�and�liquefied�natural�gas�(LNG)sectors�due�to�acute�shortages�of�talent�in�thisarea.
In�private�practice,�global�mergers�andalignments�continued.�In�some�cases,�thisled�candidates�to�explore�other�opportunitiesdue�to�concerns�regarding�advancementopportunities�in�the�new�structures.
Differences�in�remuneration�between�largeand�small�private�practice�firms�grew�widerthroughout�the�year�as�the�bigger�firmsattempted�to�hire�the�best�lawyers.�Forexample,�a�senior�associate�in�a�top-tier�firmcould�earn�as�much�as�a�special�counsel�orjunior�partner�in�a�mid�to�boutique�level�firm.
In-house�recruitment�trends�reflected�themovements�in�the�economy.�The�main�sectorsdriving�the�market�-�mining,�resources,transport�and�oil�and�gas�-�all�grew�theirlegal�teams,�whilst�other�sectors�such�asretail,�tourism�and�property�only�recruitedreplacement�roles.
As�the�year�progressed,�changes�in�generaleconomic�conditions�and�market�confidencein�Queensland�had�a�notable�effect�onhiring�activity.�By�the�end�of�September,the�market�had�slowed�considerably�andmany�private�practice�firms�implementedheadcount�freezes.�The�effects�of�the�stategovernment�headcount�reductions,�globalmarket�conditions�and�the�drop�in�commodityprices�all�combined�to�create�uncertainty�in�themarket.
Outlook�for�2013Market�conditions�at�the�end�of�2012�weremuch�less�buoyant�than�at�the�start�of�theyear,�but�we�expect�that�the�market�willrebound�by�mid�2013.�The�ongoing�growth�inthe�LNG�market,�along�with�the�progress�of�anumber�of�large�mining�projects,�will�providemuch-needed�momentum.�Remunerationlevels�are�expected�to�remain�consistent�in2013�as�candidates�focused�on�securingroles�that�offered�job�stability�and�careerprogression.
International�alignments�in�the�private�practicesector�are�set�to�continue�as�European�firmsregard�Australia�as�the�perfect�gateway�intoAsia.�In�the�commercial�sector,�we�anticipatethat�mining�and�oil�and�gas�will�continue�tobe�the�most�active�industries,�with�the�serviceindustries�such�as�engineering,�procurement,construction�and�management�(EPCM)�andengineering�firms�refocusing�on�growth.

Market�OverviewAfter�a�growth�and�high�production-focused2011�(particularly�across�coal),�activitydropped�in�2012�as�the�price�of�bulkcommodities�fell.�Across�coal�and�iron�ore,a�large�number�of�projects�in�study�phasewere�put�on�hold�or�delayed�and�operatingmines�focused�more�on�cost�and�return�oninvestment.
Recruitment�and�remuneration�levels�wereaffected�by�these�changes,�especiallytowards�the�end�of�2012�when�manymining�and�service�companies�were�makingredundancies�of�‘non�core’�staff.�However,the�industry�remained�skill�short�in�manyareas.�In�particular,�we�saw�a�shortageof�technical�services�at�site�candidates,longwall�professionals�and�experienced�andskilled�mining�managers�seeking�new�roles.Professionals�with�a�proven�track�record�ofrunning�mines�and�getting�optimum�value�formoney�remained�in�demand�and�receivedincreases�in�remuneration�in�2012.�Similarly,professionals�with�coal�seam�gas�(CSG)industry�experience�remained�in�short�supply,with�employers�willing�to�pay�a�premium�forthese�candidates.
Despite�challenging�market�conditions,�anumber�of�major�projects�(including�CavalRidge,�Daunia,�and�Grosvenor�programmes)continued�into�the�construction�phase.�CSG
businesses�also�continued�to�develop�theirassets�at�high�speed.
Outlook�for�2013While�it�is�difficult�to�predict�with�confidencehow�commodity�prices�will�develop,�we�expectthem�to�begin�to�climb�in�2013.�Consequently,we�anticipate�a�modest�increase�in�demandfor�a�broad�range�of�experienced�mining�andresources�professionals.
Given�mining�companies�are�seeking�to�getthe�best�value�for�their�assets,�demand�forhighly�skilled�mining�professionals�will�remainstrong�and�organisations�will�attempt�toretain�their�top�talent.�These�professionalswill�continue�to�be�well�paid,�be�in�shortsupply�and�difficult�to�entice�from�their�currentemployers.�Skilled�professionals�in�the�CSGindustry�will�also�remain�in�demand�as�projectsin�this�area�continue�to�be�developed�andconstructed.�This�will�be�particularly�evidentin�upstream�projects�and�begin�to�flowdownstream.

The�Brisbane�procurement,�supply�chain�&logistics�division�was�established�in�2012.�Itspecialises�in�recruiting�procurement,�categoryand�contract�managers�and�advisors�acrossmarket�sectors�as�diverse�as�mining,�miningservices,�energy,�food,�manufacturing�and�thepublic�sector.�The�team�also�offers�a�broadrange�of�recruitment�services�within�in-housemodels,�3rd�party�warehousing�and�logistics(3PL),�project�freight�and�transactional�freightforwarding�covering�all�white�collar�roleswithin�the�supply�chain�and�freight�forwardingsectors.
Market�OverviewRecruitment�levels�in�the�first�half�of�2012remained�consistent�with�those�seen�in�2011,with�oil�and�gas�businesses�completing�themajority�of�recruitment�and�offering�the�largestsalary�increases�due�to�increased�investmentin�the�sector.
In�the�second�half�of�the�year,�the�gapbetween�the�salaries�on�offer�in�the�expandingcoal�seam�gas�(CSG)�market�and�otherindustries�increased�due�to�greater�investmentand�the�roll�out�of�project�work�across�thesector.�In�contrast,�salaries�in�the�large�mininghouses�fell�because�of�a�global�reduction�incommodity�prices.
Procurement�recruitment�volumes�andsalaries�within�traditional�industries�such�asmanufacturing,�food�and�beverage�and�theSME�sector�remained�constant�throughout�theyear�as�these�sectors�were�less�affected�bythe�economy.
2012�proved�to�be�a�year�of�little�changewithin�both�the�traditional�supply�chain�andtransactional�freight�market,�with�manybusinesses�maintaining�headcount�and�salarylevels.�In�direct�contrast,�we�saw�considerableincreases�in�recruitment�activity�and�salarylevels�in�the�project�freight�market�due�to�thecontinued�growth�of�the�energy�and�CSGsectors�in�Queensland.�For�example,�project
freight�operators�received�salary�increasesfrom�$60�-�100k�in�2011�to�$60�-�120k�in2012.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�an�increased�number�of�candidatesavailable�in�the�market�we�foresee�a�short-termdecrease�in�contractor�rates�in�quarter�oneof�2013.�However,�salaries�for�professionalswith�specialist�skill�sets�within�the�consistentlygrowing�CSG�market�will�remain�unaffected.We�expect�that�most�recruitment�activitywill�occur�in�the�project,�freight�and�logisticsmarkets�in�2013�as�traditional�transactionalorganisations�attempt�to�enter�the�lucrativeproject�market.

Our�sales,�marketing�&�communicationsdivision�specialises�in�the�recruitment�ofpermanent,�contract�and�temporary�staff�atall�levels�across�a�diverse�range�of�marketsectors,�including�banking�and�financialservices,�professional�services,�infrastructure,construction,�energy�and�utilities,�miningand�resources,�ICT,�FMCG�and�government.Assignments�vary�from�graduate�to�seniorexecutive�management�level.
Market�OverviewIn�the�first�half�of�2012�hiring�of�sales,marketing�and�communications�professionalsin�Brisbane�remained�reserved.�The�majorityof�organisations�were�cautious�to�increaserecruitment�due�to�the�uncertainty�of�the�stategovernment�elections�that�occurred�in�March.Subsequently,�the�elections�led�to�a�change�ofgovernment�and�organisations�were�hesitantto�hire�in�any�great�volume,�instead�puttingrecruitment�plans�on�hold�in�anticipation�ofnew�financial�year�recruitment�budgets.
Despite�widespread�reductions�in�recruitmentactivity�there�were�pockets�of�hiring.In�particular,�there�was�high�demandfor�digital�marketing�professionals�inearly�2012.�Candidates�skilled�in�searchengine�optimisation�and�search�enginemarketing�were�most�highly�sought-after,as�organisations�sought�to�improveproductivity�and�profitability�through�digitaluptake.�Sales�executives�and�businessdevelopment�managers�were�also�in�demand,as�organisations�took�a�proactive�approach�tosecuring�new�business.
By�mid-2012�there�was�a�high�numberof�available�community�and�stakeholderrelations�professionals,�as�well�as�mediaand�government�relations�specialists�in�themarket,�as�a�number�of�mining�projects�werecancelled�and�government�redundancieswere�implemented.�During�this�period,�supplyof�top�talent�started�to�outweigh�demand.Senior�managers,�such�as�sales�managers
and�marketing/communication�managers,were�also�easily�accessible�as�organisationswere�seeking�professionals�who�could�executestrategy�rather�than�development.
In�the�second�half�of�2012�job�vacanciesdecreased.�In�the�IT&T�sector�manyorganisations�who�relied�on�governmentfunding�started�to�introduce�redundancies�asa�result�of�grants�being�cut.�The�FMCG�marketwas�another�industry�that�felt�the�effects�ofthe�poor�market�conditions�and�this�led�toa�number�of�internal�restructures.�Despitethe�uncertain�market,�business�developmentmanagers�were�still�in�reasonable�demand�asorganisations�continued�to�focus�on�improvingtheir�bottom�line.
Salaries�remained�stable�in�2012,�due�to�theincrease�of�available�candidates�in�the�market.However,�digital�marketers�and�businessdevelopment�managers�could�demand�apremium�because�of�a�shortage�of�high-calibrecandidates�in�the�market.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�demand�for�sales,�marketingand�communications�professionals�will�remainat�the�same�level�as�2012�in�quarter�one�of2013.�However,�we�do�expect�hiring�activitywill�increase�in�quarter�two,�as�large�miningand�oil�and�gas�projects�become�active�again.
We�also�expect�salary�levels�to�remainstable�throughout�2013,�as�the�amount�ofavailable�candidates�will�continue�to�outweighdemand.�A�major�focus�will�be�the�availabilityof�candidates�with�experience�in�the�digitalmarketing�space,�as�digital�strategy�continuesto�be�a�major�focus�for�potential�growth.

Our�secretarial�&�business�support�divisionplaces�high-quality�support�professionalsacross�all�role�disciplines.�Our�industryspecialist�consultants�offer�temporary,�contractand�permanent�recruitment�solutions�across�abroad�range�of�industry�sectors�and�developpartnerships�with�our�clients�to�source�roles�atall�levels.
Market�OverviewThe�traditional�slow�start�to�the�year�wasabsent�and�in�the�first�six�months�of�2012there�was�consistent�job�flow�and�activity.There�was�strong�demand�for�contractors�andpermanent�support�candidates,�indicating�thatthe�market�was�on�an�incline.
From�August�we�witnessed�a�sharp�decline�in
activity,�driven�by�the�impact�of�stategovernment�cutbacks�and�the�implementationof�new�tax�regimes�primarily�affecting�theresources�sector.�As�a�result,�recruitmentactivity�in�the�public�sector�slowed.�Thesupport�market�was�flooded�with�candidatesfrom�both�public�and�private�sectors�andsimultaneously�job�levels�decreased.
The�SME�market�continued�to�hire�throughoutthe�year,�especially�those�supplying�tothe�large�projects�that�have�continued�inQueensland�(including�the�Australia�PacificLiquefied�Natural�Gas�Project�and�theNational�Broadband�Network).�Talented�andexperienced�receptionists,�customer�servicerepresentatives,�document�controllers�andproject�administrators�were�all�in�demand�-
as�organisations�recognised�these�roles�wereessential,�even�in�a�downturn.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�only�the�standard�CPI�salaryincrease�for�support�roles�in�2013.�Due�to�thelarge�numbers�of�available�support�candidates,we�anticipate�professionals�will�competeon�salary�to�stay�in�the�market,�rather�thanprice�themselves�out.�Many�large�mining�andassociated�organisations�reduced�headcountin�2012�so�we�expect�the�need�for�contractorsto�increase�to�meet�workloads�and�projectrequirements.�We�also�expect�the�privatesector�to�start�hiring�again�in�2013,�especiallythe�engineering,�procurement,�constructionand�management�(EPCM)�companies,�mininghouses�and�associated�suppliers.

Our�banking�&�financial�services�divisionspecialises�in�the�recruitment�of�professionalsacross�operations,�risk�and�compliance,finance�and�accounting�and�credit�andrelationship�banking,�at�all�levels�of�seniorityproviding�temporary,�contract�and�permanentservices.�We�recruit�for�global�investmentbanks,�national�and�international�insuranceorganisations,�industry�and�corporatesuperannuation�funds,�wealth�managementorganisations,�fund�managers�and�major�retailbanks.
Market�OverviewPermanent�and�temporary�recruitment�levelsin�the�banking�and�financial�services�industrywere�low�at�the�start�of�2012,�before�steadilyincreasing�through�quarter�two,�peaking�inquarter�three�and�levelling�off�in�quarter�four.
The�slow�start�to�the�year�was�the�resultof�volatile�economic�conditions�due�touncertainty�in�the�global�markets.�This,combined�with�the�introduction�of�regulatorychanges�such�as�increased�capitalrequirements,�meant�costs�continued�to�be�akey�driver.�As�a�result,�restructures,�off-shoringprogrammes�and�redundancies�were�keytrends�throughout�the�year.
Increased�recruitment�activity�in�quarter�twowas�a�result�of�organisations�becoming�morecomfortable�about�the�economic�situationand�exhausting�all�internal�talent�pools,�whichforced�them�to�look�to�the�external�market�tosource�desired�skills�and�qualifications.
Even�during�the�busier�periods,�the�majorityof�recruitment�lacked�the�consistency�ofprevious�years.�This�resulted�in�peaks�andtroughs�from�month�to�month�in�risk�andcompliance,�operations�and�accounting�andfinance.�However,�we�saw�high�job�levelswithin�revenue�generating�business�units�-such�as�front�line�retail�and�business�banking-�as�the�'Big�4'�banks�sought�to�make�themost�of�their�existing�customer�base.�This�led
to�increased�demand�for�financial�planners,branch�managers�and�business�bankers.
The�wealth�management�and�investmentindustries�within�global�banks�did�not�hireconsistently,�as�these�firms�were�more�directlyimpacted�by�international�events�than�thedomestic�banks.�Continued�M&A�activity�inthis�space�resulted�in�an�increase�in�temporaryand�contract�hiring�in�projects�and�BAUcapacities,�as�existing�staff�were�secondedonto�projects�internally�as�subject�matterexperts.
Organisations�in�the�superannuationindustry�recruited�more�consistently�in2012,�particularly�within�the�self-managedsuperannuation�funds�(SMSF)�function.Interest�in�self-managed�superannuationaccounts�grew�and�more�retail�consumerstook�control�of�their�investment�strategies�inthis�area.�As�a�result,�demand�for�niche�SMSFskills�sets�surged.
Despite�the�market�volatility,�organisationswere�able�to�hire�some�very�good�candidates.A�key�driver�for�this�was�that�salaries,�for�themost�part,�remained�unchanged�throughoutthe�year�due�to�the�emphasis�on�cost�control.
Outlook�for�2013The�same�factors�that�influenced�therecruitment�market�in�2012�are�expectedto�continue�to�have�an�impact�in�2013.�Thismeans�financial�services�institutions�willcontinue�to�be�cost-driven�and�focus�onhiring�business�analysts�who�can�identify�costsavings.
Larger�organisations�will�continue�tolook�for�seasoned�business�projectmanagers�and�business�analysts�to�helpdrive�organisational�change,�systemsimprovements/implementations�and�newproduct�launches.

Our�commerce�&�industry�division�providesblue-chip�corporates,�SMEs,�not�for�profitand�public�sector�organisations�with�specialistaccounting�and�finance�recruitment�solutions.Our�permanent,�contract�and�temporaryteams�recruit�qualified�professionals�withprior�commercial�or�chartered�accountingexperience,�as�well�as�part-qualified�graduatesand�clerical�accounting�staff.
Market�OverviewOrganisations�in�commerce�and�industry�tooka�cautious�approach�to�hiring�throughout2012,�with�the�majority�of�vacancies�beingreplacement�rather�than�headcount�growth.However,�there�were�exceptions,�withthe�online,�digital�and�energy�industriesoutperforming�the�rest�of�the�market.
Due�to�a�drop�in�market�confidence,�therewas�a�clear�change�in�recruitment�activityaround�the�mid-year�point,�with�demandfor�permanent�hires�falling.�This�was�partlycountered�by�an�increase�in�temporary�andfixed�term�vacancies.�We�also�saw�the�usualincrease�in�demand�around�financial�year�endfor�temporary�financial�accounting�staff.�Therewas�a�decrease�in�short-term�opportunitiesarising�as�a�result�of�projects�or�re-structurescompared�to�2011�as�fewer�large-scaleorganisational�restructures�were�occurring�inthe�market.
Global�market�conditions�continued�to�createuncertainty,�which�led�recruitment�processesto�become�more�prolonged.�In�particular,�wesaw�a�greater�number�of�roles�coming�on�tothe�market�and�then�being�withdrawn�thanusual.�Additionally,�as�a�result�of�a�perceived'buyer's�market'�companies�became�morestringent�in�the�skills�and�experience�theysought,�which�only�served�to�further�lengthenthe�process.
As�organisations�tightened�financial�controlsand�processes,�employers�placed�moreemphasis�on�hiring�candidates�with�financial
accounting�and�controls�managementexpertise�rather�than�professionals�frommanagement�accounting�and�morecommercially-oriented�backgrounds.Companies�also�sought�a�combination�ofboth�chartered�and�industry�experience�inmid�to�senior�level�candidates,�primarily�atthe�expense�of�traditional�'first�movers'�fromchartered�firms.
At�the�junior�end�of�the�market,�there�was�afocus�on�recruiting�part-qualified�accountingprofessionals�-�rather�than�transactionalaccounts�payable/receivable�staff�-�asemployers�placed�a�greater�emphasis�onworkforce�planning�and�longer-term�careermanagement.�By�supporting�ongoingprofessional�development,�organisationssought�to�increase�employee�engagementlevels.
While�we�saw�less�interest�in�payroll�vacanciesthan�other�finance�roles�due�to�the�perceivedlack�of�career�development�potential�they�offer,employers�sought�high-calibre�professionalsin�this�area.�Within�the�energy�industry,commercial�and�pricing�analysts�were�themost�in�demand�skill�sets�as�companieslooked�to�bolster�their�analytical�capabilityduring�uncertain�times,�while�dealing�withvarious�regulatory�changes�and�shifts�inmarket�dynamics.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�to�see�job�levels�increase�in�the�firstquarter�of�2013,�given�the�volumes�of�rolesplaced�on�hold�towards�the�end�of�2012�andare�optimistic�for�the�rest�of�the�year.�We�alsoanticipate�a�continued�focus�on�temporaryand�fixed�term�hiring�as�organisations�remainhesitant�to�add�permanent�headcount.
The�senior�end�of�the�market�will�continueto�be�challenging�for�candidates,�with�asignificant�over-supply�leading�to�highlycompetitive�processes�for�any�mid�tosenior�level�managerial�positions.�Relevant
industry�experience�is�likely�to�be�the�point�ofdifferentiation�where�this�is�the�case.�As�with2012,�companies�with�the�most�streamlinedrecruitment�processes�will�continue�to�securethe�best�available�talent.

The�Melbourne�human�resources�divisionrecruits�specialist�and�generalist�HRprofessionals�across�all�areas,�includingremuneration�and�benefits,�learning�andorganisational�development,�changemanagement,�WHS�and�recruitment,�and�at�alllevels�-�from�junior�transactional�roles�throughto�strategic�leaders,�on�both�a�temporary�andpermanent�basis.
Market�OverviewThe�most�in-demand�HR�professionals�in�2012were�those�who�were�immediately�available.With�a�large�number�of�projects�underway,organisations�relied�heavily�on�temporary�HRprofessionals�to�cover�existing�workloads.Market�uncertainty�also�led�to�an�increase�incontract�hiring�as�employers�sought�to�keeppermanent�headcount�as�low�as�possible.
At�the�end�of�quarter�two,�there�was�anincreased�need�for�remuneration�and�benefitsspecialists�to�help�during�the�salary�reviewperiod.�Regulatory�changes�regardingexecutive�remuneration�also�caused�increasedrecruitment�activity�in�this�area.
With�many�organisations�undergoingsignificant�change�(such�as�systemsimplementation,�cultural�change�programs,restructures�and�mergers),�change�managerswere�also�highly�sought-after.�Due�tobudgetary�pressures,�many�organisationsattempted�to�hire�these�professionals�on�fixedterm�contracts�with�an�annualised�salary.However,�the�strongest�candidates�were�onlyopen�to�roles�on�a�day-rate�arrangement.
Safety�became�an�area�of�focus�for�manycompanies,�with�skilled�workplace�health�andsafety�professionals�highly�sought-after�at�arange�of�levels.�However,�many�corporateorganisations�found�sourcing�candidates�withthe�desired�cultural�fit�challenging�as�manyworkplace�health�and�safety�professionalscame�from�blue-collar�backgrounds.
When�hiring�HR�generalists,�organisationssought�individuals�who�were�commercial�andcould�influence�and�negotiate�effectively�withtheir�client�group.�As�a�result,�professionalswith�strong�communication�skills�oftenrecieved�multiple�job�offers.
Salaries�generally�remained�unchanged�acrossthe�HR�market.�Due�to�economic�uncertainty,many�professionals�were�willing�to�moveroles�for�little�or�no�increase�in�remuneration.Organisations�were�also�unwilling�to�offersignificant�uplifts�for�similar�reasons.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�employers�to�continue�to�becautious�in�2013.�If�the�economic�outlookremains�uncertain,�we�would�expect�to�seecontinued�temporary�and�fixed�term�contracthiring�as�employers�remain�risk�averse.�Somelarge�transformational�programs�of�work�aretentatively�scheduled�to�begin�in�the�first�halfof�the�year.�If�these�are�approved,�we�wouldexpect�to�see�an�increase�in�demand�forchange�managers�in�early�2013.

Our�IT�division�in�Melbourne�is�split�into�threedistinct�teams�working�across�the�commerce&�industry,�banking�and�financial�servicesand�IT&T�sectors.�As�well�as�having�specificindustry�knowledge,�our�consultants�alsospecialise�in�technical�verticals�covering�digitalmedia,�IT�and�project�management,�projectservices,�IT�architecture,�infrastructure,�testingand�development.
Market�OverviewBanking�&�Financial�ServicesRecruitment�activity�was�low�in�the�bankingand�financial�services�industry�throughout2012�as�firms�implemented�cost�reductionmeasures,�including�outsourcing,�off-shoringand�the�postponement�of�non-business�criticalprojects.�In�contrast,�the�superannuation,wealth�management�and�insurance�sectorsrecruited�steadily�throughout�2012�to�supportthe�roll-out�of�a�number�of�large-scaletransformation�and�integration�projects.
Professionals�with�extensive�investmentbanking,�process�re-engineering,transformation�and�change�experience�werehighly�sought-after.�This�was�driven�by�slowgrowth�and�reduced�revenue�in�banking,particularly�in�institutional�divisions,�whichcreated�the�need�to�reduce�costs�and�maintainprofits.
Commerce�&�IndustryDemand�for�IT�resources�in�commerce�andindustry�varied.�We�saw�consistent�demandin�the�utilities�sector,�primarily�energy,�fuelledby�major�projects�focused�on�transformation,systems�upgrades�and�compliance,�includingthe�rollout�of�smart�metering�technology.Digital�media�and�online�organisations�alsorecruited�consistently�throughout�the�yearas�organisations�looked�to�engage�with�theircustomers�on�new�mobile�platforms�andimproved�e-commerce�sites.�This�led�todemand�for�UX/UI�experts,�digital�producersand�front-end�developers.
IT&THiring�trends�in�the�IT&T�sector�were�mixed.We�saw�strong�demand�and�investment�inareas�such�as�cloud�computing,�networkengineering�and�virtualisation�as�a�numberof�organisations�moved�to�utilise�morecost-effective�cloud�computing�technologies.However,�due�to�the�lack�of�major�projects�inthe�large�telecommunications�organisations,recruitment�levels�in�the�second�half�of�2012were�relatively�low.
The�state�government�funded�NationalBroadband�Network�(NBN)�project�createdsome�job�opportunities,�both�directly�for�NBNas�well�as�the�major�carriers.�Specifically,professionals�with�Agile,�mobile�applicationsdevelopment�design,�cloud,�networkengineering�and�virtualisation�experience�weresought-after.
Towards�the�end�of�2012,�hiring�levels�fell.�Thiswas�due�to�both�global�and�local�economicuncertainty.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�recruitment�to�remain�subduedin�the�first�quarter�of�2013,�apart�from�withinsectors�that�performed�well�at�the�end�of2012�-�primarily�e-commerce,�digital�media,insurance,�superannuation�and�parts�of�thetelecommunications�industry.�However,�weexpect�that�the�majority�of�organisations�willcontinue�to�streamline�processes,�restructureand�transform�as�they�seek�to�operate�moreefficiently.
IT�recruitment�levels�throughout�the�remainderof�the�year�will�depend�on�the�stability�andperformance�of�the�economy.�If�confidenceincreases�-�as�we�expect�it�to�-�we�anticipategrowth�across�the�IT�market�and�a�return�toa�candidate�short�market�due�to�a�lack�ofspecialist�skills�in�the�local�Australian�market.

Market�OverviewSalesAfter�job�levels�were�high�during�2010�and2011,�recruitment�activity�was�relatively�mutedin�2012.�The�majority�of�hiring�that�did�takeplace�was�focused�on�replacement�rather�thanheadcount�growth.
However,�the�IT�market�was�an�exceptionto�this�trend.�Among�businesses�in�thisspace,�we�saw�increased�demand�for�salesprofessionals�with�experience�in�cloudsolutions,�managed�services�and�hostingservices.�These�increases�were�due�to�theneed�for�sales�professionals�who�couldbuild�value�around�products�and�sell�overlayservices.�The�retail�and�FMCG�sectors�wereless�buoyant�due�to�a�reduction�in�consumerspending,�increased�manufacturing�costs�andthe�impact�of�the�margin�battle�between�thedominant�Australian�grocery�chains.
Recruitment�levels�in�the�financial�services,banking�and�media�sectors�remained�modest.However,�there�were�increased�job�levelswithin�the�local�industrial�sector,�specificallyfor�business�development�managers,�asorganisations�sought�to�drive�revenue�growthacross�new�customers.
Across�the�sales�jobs�market,�we�saw�mostdemand�for�business�development�managerswith�experience�in�selling�solutions�at�'C'�levelinto�corporate�clients�due�to�the�high�marginsbusinesses�make�on�these�sales.
MarketingMarketing�recruitment�levels�fluctuatedthroughout�2012�with�demand�especiallylow�either�side�of�the�new�financial�year.However,�there�were�still�pockets�of�hiringactivity�throughout�the�rest�of�the�year.
Experienced�product�managers�were�highlysought-after�across�financial�services,telecommunications�and�utilities,�asorganisations�sought�to�increase�market�sharein�very�competitive�sectors.�There�was�alsogreater�focus�on�the�need�for�consumer-driveninsights�professionals�to�drive�strategicdirection.�This�led�to�increased�hiring�ofmarketing�professionals�into�newly-createdteams/roles�focusing�on�customer�insights,market�segmentation�and�data�analyticsto�support�the�marketing�strategy�andimprove�the�overall�customer�experience.Commercially-astute�brand�managers�werealso�highly�sought-after�across�the�FMCGsector,�as�organisations�looked�to�driveprofitability�across�their�product�portfolios.
Outlook�for�20132013�is�expected�to�follow�a�similar�patternto�2012,�with�pockets�of�increased�hiringacross�certain�industry�sectors�for�only�veryspecific�roles.�The�ICT�market�should�continueto�grow,�with�hiring�of�sales�candidates�in�thismarket�expected�to�remain�high.�Customerexperience�will�continue�to�be�a�major�focuspoint�for�many�organisations�as�they�aimto�gain�a�competitive�advantage�over�theircompetitors.�This�should�lead�to�continueddemand�for�strategic�and�insight-drivenmarketing�professionals.

Our�secretarial�&�business�support�divisionrecruits�high-calibre�administration�andsupport�staff�across�a�wide�range�of�industrieson�a�temporary,�fixed�term�and�permanentbasis.�The�team�manages�a�variety�ofrequirements�from�one-day�leave�cover�topermanent�roles�including,�but�not�limitedto,�reception,�team�and�sales�support,legal�secretaries,�office�managers,�personalassistants�and�customer�service�professionals.
Market�OverviewWe�saw�fluctuating�job�levels�throughout�2012as�each�quarter�witnessed�varied�demand.Temporary�recruitment�was�more�buoyantthroughout,�as�organisations�were�cautiousabout�adding�permanent�headcount�as�volatileeconomic�conditions�continued.
The�first�half�of�the�year�was�driven�bytemporary�hires�as�both�employers�andcandidates�remained�cautious.�Largerorganisations,�such�as�the�'Big�4'�banks,prominent�energy�companies�and�leadingFMCG�brands�hired�temporary�professionalsfor�projects,�maternity�leave�covers�andsecondments.�SMEs�were�more�driven�tohire�on�a�temp-to-perm�basis�providing�thebusiness�met�targets�as�they�sought�to�reducethe�risk�of�over�hiring.
From�quarter�two�onwards,�the�number�ofpermanent�vacancies�increased�dramatically,initially�led�by�the�global�investment�banks,legal�firms,�FMCGs�and�then�closely�followedby�SMEs.�The�energy�and�property�industrieswere�also�active�due�to�aggressive�growthmandates�and�increased�competition.Experienced�personal�assistants�and�executiveassistants�with�board-level�exposure�were�inhighest�demand�due�to�candidate�movementsat�this�level.
As�a�result�of�this�renewed�confidence,candidates�became�more�open�to�considermoving�roles.�The�key�drivers�for�job�seekerswere�industry�type,�career�progression
and�culture.�However,�job�seekers�werekeen�to�consider�multiple�options�as�theysought�to�identify�the�ideal�next�step�for�theircareer.�Significant�competition�for�the�bestprofessionals�also�meant�counter-offers�wereprevalent�in�the�market.�Organisations�offeredexpanded�job�responsibilities,�and�evencompletely�new�roles,�to�retain�talent.
In�the�second�half�of�the�year,�we�sawcontinued�temporary�hiring�due�to�reportingseason�and�holiday�cover.�This�coincidedwith�a�marked�slowdown�in�demand�forpermanent�staff�as�mid-year�results�werebeing�analysed�and�new�hires’�performancewas�being�assessed.�This�led�to�longerrecruitment�processes�that,�in�some�cases,were�put�on�hold.�While�companies�typicallyre-visited�these�hires�later�in�the�year,�theyoften�altered�the�structure�and�level�to�fit�inwith�new�forecasts.
Skilled�customer�service�operators�werein�short�supply�due�to�the�short�tenureof�professionals�in�this�industry�and�littlewillingness�to�compromise�on�salary�offerings.There�was�consistent�demand�for�thesecandidates�from�new�and�renewable�energy,telecommunications�and�financial�servicesbusiness�due�to�increased�investment�andprojects�in�this�area.�Experienced�legalexecutive�and�personal�assistants�were�alsochallenging�to�source�for�private�practicelegal�firms�as�candidates�typically�preferred�towork�in-house�as�they�saw�it�as�a�more�stableenvironment.
Outlook�for�2013The�outlook�for�2013�is�relatively�optimistic.Recruitment�processes�will�remain�robust�buttimeframes�and�decision-making�will�need�tobe�more�streamlined�in�order�to�reduce�thefrequency�of�counter-offers.�Salaries�are�likelyto�increase�in�most�industries,�but�increasesare�likely�to�be�marginal.

Our�commercial�accounting�&�finance�divisionspecialises�in�the�provision�of�permanentand�contract�staff�across�a�broad�rangeof�industries�including�mining,�oil�and�gas,engineering,�property,�utilities,�financialservices�and�education.�We�recruit�at�all�levelswithin�finance,�from�part-qualified�includingaccounts�payables�and�receivables,�to�seniormanagement�roles.
Market�OverviewWe�witnessed�a�steady�period�of�growth�inthe�first�half�of�the�year,�especially�in�the�hiringof�contract�staff,�with�a�notable�spike�fromFebruary�through�to�May.�This�was�primarilydriven�by�increased�activity�in�the�mining�andoil�and�gas�industries,�including�increasedproject�work�from�locally-based�organisationsas�well�as�new�entrants�to�the�market�fromoverseas�and�interstate.
There�was�an�increase�in�large-scale�projectrecruitment�from�oil�and�gas,�as�well�asengineering,�procurement�and�constructionmanagement�(EPCM)�organisations�thatwon�projects�at�the�end�of�2011.�This�led�tocandidate�shortages�in�specialist�‘value-add’roles�such�as�modelling�analysts,�part�andfully�qualified�accountants,�managementaccountants�and�commercial�analysts�withresources�sector�experience.
Organisations�placed�a�premium�on�industryexperience,�which�led�to�a�lack�of�availablecandidates�with�relevant�experience�in�themarketplace.�Those�with�experience�outsideof�the�resources�sector�were�readily�available,with�the�industry�divide�noticeable�at�mostlevels.
The�introduction�of�the�Minerals�ResourceRent�tax�and�the�Carbon�tax�meant�seniorlevel�tax�professionals�were�highly�sought-afterthroughout�quarter�two.�The�demand�wasstrongest�among�the�bigger�players�in�themining�sector,�as�they�looked�to�bolster�their
internal�tax�functions�to�mitigate�any�potentialrisk�caused�by�the�new�tax�laws.
As�we�approached�the�end�of�the�financialyear�we�experienced�a�slowdown�in�thehiring�of�mainstream�accounting�and�financeprofessionals,�as�most�hiring�managerswere�focused�on�statutory�reporting�andcompliance.�This�slowdown�was�compoundedby�some�organisations�adopting�a�cautiousapproach�to�expansion�and�hiring,�with�otherorganisations�going�one�step�further�andimplementing�hiring�freezes�in�responseto�continued�economic�uncertainty�in�theEurozone.
In�the�latter�half�of�the�year,�hiring�sloweddown�in�what�is�traditionally�a�busy�period.The�fall�in�demand�and�price�of�somecommodities�affected�hiring�at�all�levels,especially�in�iron�ore�producers�and�miningand�engineering�service�providers.�As�a�resultwe�saw�redundancies�across�a�number�ofsignificant�iron�ore�producers�and�relatedservices�businesses.�This�caused�an�influx�ofexperienced�finance�professionals�to�enter�thejob�market,�particularly�at�the�qualified�level.
Oil�and�gas�continued�to�increase�hiringas�major�projects�progressed,�however,subsequent�increased�demand�forprofessionals�with�specific�upstream�ordownstream�accounting�experience�created�ashortage�in�this�growing�area.
Salaries�remained�fairly�constant�in�2012across�all�skill�sets,�with�job�stability�andcareer�progression�the�major�motivators�forprofessionals�seeking�new�opportunities.A�competitive�market�continued�to�favourorganisations,�ensuring�salaries�weren’tpushed�up�above�typical�market�rates.
Outlook�for�2013Going�into�2013,�the�most�important�factor�willbe�how�iron�ore�recovers�from�poor
commodity�prices.�With�Europe�and�theUSA�still�mired�in�long-term�financial�issues,Australia�will�look�again�to�China�as�its�mostimportant�business�partner.�If�China�increasesits�demand�for�Western�Australia’s�resources,we�should�see�a�reasonably�quick�recovery�inthe�mining�and�EPCM�sectors.
The�oil�and�gas�industry�should�continue�togain�momentum,�as�a�number�of�multi-billiondollar�projects�progress.�We�expect�to�seean�increase�in�requirements�for�candidateswith�JV�accounting�and�commercial�analysisexperience�from�the�oil�and�gas�industry,�asmultinationals�from�Europe,�Asia�and�NorthAmerica�continue�to�increase�their�localpresence.
Salaries�are�not�expected�to�change�in�mostareas�in�2013,�as�the�balance�between�supplyand�demand�for�experienced�accountingprofessionals�will�take�sometime�to�even�outfollowing�a�slower�than�expected�end�to�2012.

Our�Perth�information�technology�divisionrecruits�on�a�contract�and�permanent�basisacross�a�range�of�skill�sets�and�industrysectors.�It�is�split�into�two�specialiseddivisions:�ICT�infrastructure�and�applications,incorporating�IT�sales.�These�two�teamsrecruit�professionals�at�all�levels,�from�juniorcandidates�with�a�minimum�of�two�years'commercial�experience�through�to�seniorexecutives�for�resources,�financial�services�andconsultancy�companies.
Market�OverviewDue�to�strong�recruitment�levels�in�late�2011,expectations�at�the�start�of�2012�were�high.However,�the�jobs�market�throughout�theyear�proved�mixed.�The�resource�sector�andassociated�expansion�projects�within�the�majoriron�ore�space�drove�demand�for�IT�skills�butrecruitment�levels�within�financial�servicesand�other�sectors�were�relatively�low�due�toongoing�economic�uncertainty.
In�the�first�half�of�the�year,�increased�projectwork�in�the�resources�and�supportingindustries�-�such�as�mine�set-ups,�systemimplementations,�and�network�upgrades�-led�to�notable�demand�in�the�resources�andsupporting�industries.�Particular�skills,�such�asSAP,�Tibco�and�SharePoint,�were�sought-afterby�these�businesses,�while�there�wasgreater�need�for�network�engineers,�systemadministrators�and�business�intelligenceexperts.�Business�analysts�were�also�in�highdemand�to�kick�start�feasibility�studies�forprojects.
However,�job�levels�fell�in�the�second�half�of2012�as�budgets�were�assessed,�projectsscrutinised�and�headcount�reviewed.Instability�in�the�mining�sector�and�uncertaintyregarding�commodity�prices�created�furthercomplications�in�the�market.�Volumes�ofrecruitment�were�further�reduced�by�thedelay�of�design�phase�projects.�In�contrastsome�sectors�remained�on�track�with�majorprojects�and�continued�to�hire�including
telecommunications,�manufacturing,�educationand�state�government.
With�a�number�of�organisations�seekingcandidates�with�similar�skill�sets,�the�numberof�counter-offers�rose.�Despite�this�trend,recruitment�processes�lengthened�asorganisations�remained�cautious�about�hiring.
Salaries�generally�remained�unchanged,as�budget�cuts�meant�professionals�werewilling�to�take�less�remuneration.�Instead�ofsalary�increases�professionals�sought�careerprogression,�better�work-life�balance�and�jobflexibility.
Outlook�for�2013Although�initial�market�conditions�will�remainsimilar�to�2012,�we�expect�IT�job�levels�toincrease�throughout�2013.�However,�thisoptimism�is�dependent�on�overseas�demandfor�natural�resources,�the�price�of�commoditiesand�financial�stability�in�the�Eurozone.�IT�spendis�also�expected�to�increase�across�the�oiland�gas�sector�and�subsequent�supportingindustries�as�network�implementation�projectsand�major�system�development�projectscommence.
Professionals�with�in�demand�skills�(includingbusiness�analysts,�network�engineers,security�specialists,�developers�and�systemsadministrators)�are�likely�to�command�apremium.�However,�we�anticipate�salaryincreases�are�only�likely�to�be�in�line�withinflation�due�to�challenging�trading�conditions.

Our�mining,�engineering�&�safety�teamspecialises�in�recruiting�permanent,�contractand�fly-in�fly-out�(FIFO)�professionalsinto�mining,�engineering�consultancies,construction�and�health�and�safety�inWestern�Australia.�The�team�also�undertakesassignments�in�South�Australia�and�theNorthern�Territory�and�specialises�in�sourcinglocal�as�well�as�international�candidates�forour�clients,�either�in�metropolitan�areas�or�onremote�sites.
Market�OverviewAt�the�start�of�2012,�we�saw�a�general�risein�vacancy�levels�as�commodity�priceswere�strong.�However,�the�mining�sectorin�Western�Australia�underwent�a�dramaticshift�in�quarter�two.�Commodity�pricesdropped�significantly,�demand�from�Chinaslowed�and�market�sentiment�went�frompositive�to�a�state�of�trepidation.�Largeiron�ore�expansion�projects�were�deferredand�the�fiscal�viability�of�projects�with�highoperating�and�production�costs�were�calledinto�question.�Large�infrastructure�projectsstruggled�to�find�investors�which�ultimatelyhad�a�negative�effect�on�the�capital-intensivemagnetite�projects�in�the�feasibility�stage.This�led�to�decreased�demand�for�a�numberof�key�roles,�including�metallurgists,�projectgeologists�and�underground�shift�managers.
With�capital�expenditure�already�committedto�a�number�of�large�resources�constructionprojects,�the�civil�and�mining�contractorscontinued�to�pick�up�pace�and�recruitedconsistently�throughout�all�quarters.�Due�tothe�high�capital�required�to�buy�and�maintainmining�equipment,�miners�moved�from�anowner-operator�model�to�an�owner-contractormodel.�As�a�result�of�this�downturn�inexpansion,�EPCM�organisations�alsoexperienced�retrenchments�specifically�withintheir�rail,�mining�and�port-focused�divisions.
We�saw�fewer�job�openings�in�quarter�four,predominantly�due�to�weaker�commodity
prices�and�poor�global�conditions.�Thereremained�a�demand�for�qualified�professionalswith�mining�experience�across�all�disciplines,key�roles�within�corporate�or�project�structuresor�statutory�roles.�Some�examples�of�thesewere�project�managers,�planners�and�seniormining�engineers.
Recruitment�across�occupational,�health,safety�and�environment�remained�consistentthroughout�the�year.�As�a�statutoryrequirement�for�any�construction�or�operationssite,�job�levels�within�the�sector�continued�tobe�stable�across�all�four�quarters.
In�the�first�half�of�2012�salaries�increasedacross�the�majority�of�disciplines�and�fields.This�is�in�line�with�previous�trends�in�a�marketbacked�by�strong�commodity�prices.�Inthe�second�half�of�2012,�salaries�flattenedout�and�even�decreased�in�some�cases,�asredundancy�levels�increased.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�an�increase�in�hiring�activity�inmining�in�the�second�half�of�2013.�However,this�rise�is�dependent�on�the�price�ofresources,�positive�market�sentiment�andapproved�funding�for�expansion�projects.
Although�mining�companies�will�seekoperational�efficiency�and�to�cut�coststhroughout�2013,�demand�for�skills�shouldmirror�the�steady�level�seen�in�the�first�half�of2012�as�the�market�recovers.�Demand�forgeologists,�process�engineers,�metallurgistsand�civil�engineers�should�increase�due�to�therestart�and�expansion�of�mining�operations.However,�we�expect�salary�levels�to�remainstable�due�to�a�relatively�high�volume�of�skilledprofessionals�seeking�new�opportunities.
After�some�engineering�companies�madea�lot�of�redundancies�in�2012,�we�believethey�will�seek�to�hire�professionals�with�theseskills�once�major�projects�are�given�the�greenlight�to�proceed.�As�a�result,�we�anticipate
increased�demand�for�prefeasibility,�feasibility,design,�project�generation�and�explorationprofessionals.

Our�oil�&�gas�division�recruits�technicalprofessionals�on�a�contract�or�permanentbasis�into�multinational�operators�andengineering�firms.
Market�OverviewWe�saw�a�steady�increase�in�oil�and�gasrecruitment�in�Western�Australia�in�2012.�Finalinvestment�decisions�were�granted�on�severalmajor�liquefied�natural�gas�projects,�leadingto�a�high�demand�for�operator,�engineering,procurement,�construction,�management�andcommissioning�professionals.
Throughout�2012,�we�saw�increased�demandfor�contract�personnel�as�organisations�were
investing�in�shorter�term�projects�and�werewary�of�costs.�From�a�permanent�perspective,we�saw�many�organisations�transitioning�theircontract�employees�to�permanent�positionsas�they�sought�to�secure�proven�professionalson�long-term-roles�as�opposed�to�on�aproject-specific�basis.
We�also�noticed�a�significant�increase�incontract�day�rates,�with�Western�Australiabecoming�one�of�the�most�lucrative�locationsin�the�industry.�Taking�into�account�theceasing�of�the�Living�Away�From�Allowance,Australian-based�oil�and�gas�professionalswere�commanding�a�rate�approximately�15%higher�than�2011�rates.
Outlook�for�2013As�several�key�projects�enter�constructionphase,�the�oil�and�gas�jobs�market�is�expectedto�remain�strong.�If�recent�forecasts�areaccurate,�then�Western�Australia�will�haveapproximately�12,000�new�roles�across�theprojects�space.�This,�coupled�with�a�dramaticincrease�in�exploration�and�production�activity,means�a�major�skills�shortage�could�beon�the�horizon.�The�demand�for�qualified,experienced�local�hires�will�most�likely�beoffset�by�the�arrival�of�skilled�internationalprofessionals�and�the�reinvestment�of�largerorganisations�into�education�and�training�ofyoung�Australian�engineers.

Market�OverviewHiring�across�the�procurement�and�logisticsmarket�was�dominated�by�the�resourcessector�in�the�first�half�of�2012�as�organisationscontinued�to�appoint�candidates�willing�towork�on�a�fly-in�fly-out�(FIFO)�basis.�A�fall�in�theprice�of�commodities�late�in�quarter�two�ledto�many�businesses�cautiously�reviewing�theirhiring�policies�for�the�new�financial�year.�As�aconsequence,�there�were�a�large�number�ofredundancies�in�quarter�three.�This�resultedin�a�short-term�oversupply�of�procurementand�contract�managers�and,�in�some�cases,salaries�re-aligning�back�to�levels�not�seensince�the�global�financial�crisis�in�2009.
However,�there�were�some�pockets�of�hiringactivity�in�the�second�half�of�the�year.�Inparticular,�we�saw�an�ongoing�need�forexperienced�supply�chain�professionalswithin�the�oil�and�gas�sector�to�support�theconstruction�phase�of�large�liquefied�naturalgas�projects.�Given�the�size�of�WesternAustralia�and�the�need�to�support�theresources�businesses,�there�was�a�consistentdemand�for�candidates�with�transportationexperience�at�most�levels.
As�some�candidates�in�FIFO�roles�sought�toreturn�to�Perth�full-time�for�family�reasons,�wesaw�an�increase�in�international�candidatesbeing�considered�for�site-based�roles.
Outlook�for�2013The�outlook�for�hiring�of�procurement,�supplychain�and�logistics�professionals�into�themining�sector�will�be�largely�depend�on�thedemand�and�price�of�iron�ore.
However,�the�large�amount�of�local�projectsin�the�oil�and�gas�sector�will�continue�to�drivean�ongoing�need�for�talented�commercial�andlogistics�candidates.
As�mining�projects�develop�and�relativecosts�continue�to�rise,�there�will�be�a�need�torenegotiate�existing�contracts�in�this�space.This�is�likely�to�lead�to�demand�for�seniorprocurement�and�contracts�professionalsto�tighten�costs�and�ensure�no�disruptionto�the�supply�chain�of�goods�and�services.There�will�also�be�demand�for�candidates�withrail�and�infrastructure�services�experienceas�mining�organisations�move�to�increaseproduction�in�anticipation�of�improved�tradingconditions�in�the�second�half�of�2013.�We�alsoanticipate�that�the�large�number�of�plannedand�existing�civil�works�in�Perth�will�causestaff�with�civil�contract�administration�andcommercial�management�skill�sets�to�becomemore�sought-after.

Market�OverviewHuman�resources�and�secretarial�supportjob�levels�increased�in�the�first�half�of�2012.This�was�driven�by�an�overall�rise�in�vacanciesin�industries�such�as�mining,�oil�and�gasand�support�services�(mining�services�andengineering).�However,�demand�for�executiveand�non-executive�support�staff�fell�in�thethird�quarter�due�to�a�reduction�in�recruitmentactivity�in�the�wider�Perth�market.
As�major�iron�ore�expansion�projects�were
deferred,�there�was�an�overall�decline�indemand�for�support�and�in-house�recruitmentprofessionals.�This�also�resulted�in�small�tomedium�mining�companies�reviewing�costsand�reducing�hiring�activity.�As�a�consequencethere�was�an�over-supply�of�job�seekersin�the�market�as�organisations�sought�toutilise�or�redeploy�existing�staff�to�cope�withdelays�in�projects�or�joint�ventures�with�keystakeholders,�rather�than�making�new�hires.
By�contrast,�we�saw�a�significant�increasein�recruitment�activity�within�the�utility�andgovernment�industries,�particularly�withincustomer�service�and�call�centre�roles�tobolster�customer�service�levels�and�assist�therelocation�of�call�centres�from�overseas.�Thisled�to�a�growth�in�the�number�of�professionalsfrom�the�telecommunications�and�retailindustries�moving�into�the�government�andutilities�sector�due�to�the�improved�work-lifebalance�on�offer.
Even�though�the�major�resource�companieswere�still�prepared�to�pay�a�premium�forhigh-calibre�professionals,�we�noticed�amarked�slump�in�recruitment�activity�across�allsecretarial�support,�in-house�recruitment�andhuman�resources�roles�within�the�engineeringsector�in�the�second�half�of�the�year.�Thereason�for�this�slowdown�in�job�creation�wasa�pause�in�the�announcement�of�future�largeiron�ore,�nickel�and�gold�mining�projects�inthe�Mid-West�and�North�West�of�WesternAustralia.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�secretarial�support�and�generalistHR�recruitment�levels�to�remain�consistent�inthe�first�half�of�2013.�However,�recruitmentactivity�is�likely�to�increase�in�the�second�halfof�the�year�as�major�iron�ore�projects�havea�postive�impact�on�the�engineering�andconstruction�industries.

The�first�half�of�the�year�was�relatively�slowfrom�a�recruitment�perspective,�with�themajority�of�structural�changes�to�teamsoccurring�in�the�first�quarter.�As�a�result,�mostvacancies�-�particularly�in�the�major�Australianbanks�-�were�filled�by�staff�being�redeployedinternally.�By�the�second�half�of�the�year,recruitment�volumes�increased.�While�therewere�still�fewer�new�positions�being�created,organisations�went�straight�to�market�to�findthe�skills�they�required�for�any�replacementopportunities�that�arose.
Changes�to�legislation�(Fair�and�AccurateCredit�Transactions�Act,�Future�of�FinancialAdvice�and�Stronger�Super)�in�quarterthree�increased�the�amount�of�recruitmentactivity�within�the�project�space,�with�bothwealth�management�and�superannuationprofessionals�in�demand.
Employers�consistently�sought�accountingprofessionals�who�could�add�value�during
2012�rather�than�pure�process�specialists.There�were�also�opportunities�for�specialistprofessionals�with�experience�in�productcontrol,�insurance�and�wealth�managementdue�to�widespread�growth�in�these�sectors.Despite�new�roles�being�released�in�thesecond�half�of�the�year,�candidates�continuedto�seek�roles�in�the�commercial�sector�dueto�concerns�about�the�stability�and�generaluncertainty�surrounding�the�financial�markets.
Salary�levels�generally�remained�consistentin�2012�and�even�fell�in�some�cases�due�tosignificant�competition�among�candidates.
Outlook�for�2013We�remain�cautiously�optimistic�for�2013.Increased�job�levels�in�the�second�half�of�2012and�a�growth�in�project�activity�due�to�currentand�impending�legislative�changes�shouldresult�in�a�higher�demand�for�accountingprofessionals�in�2013.�As�most�major�roundsof�headcount�reductions�have�already�takenplace,�there�should�also�be�a�significantdecrease�in�the�number�of�roles�beingrelocated�offshore.
There�are�a�significant�number�of�professionalsat�all�levels�who�have�been�in�their�current�rolefor�a�sustained�period�but�have�been�unableto�move�due�to�market�conditions.�As�soonas�the�market�improves,�these�candidatesare�likely�to�seek�new�opportunities�which�willcause�further�movement�in�the�market�andincreased�job�levels.

Our�banking�operations�division�specialisesin�placing�candidates�at�all�levels�acrossback�and�middle�office�functions�within�thebanking�and�financial�services�sector�for�avariety�of�organisations,�including�leadinginternational�and�domestic�retail�banks,investment�banks,�mortgage�providers,�fundmanagers,�custodians,�insurers�and�wealthmanagers.
Market�OverviewThe�banking�operations�recruitment�marketwas�slightly�busier�in�2012�compared�to�2011.Whilst�recruitment�in�quarter�one�remainedslow,�it�gained�momentum�over�quartertwo�and�three�before�tapering�off�in�quarterfour.�This�cycle�of�recruitment�is�traditional,however,�the�reasons�differ�slightly.�In�previousyears�there�was�a�surge�in�quarter�two�andquarter�three�due�to�end�of�financial�year.�Thisyear�the�activity�was�the�result�of�elongatedapproval�processes�and�also�the�ongoingclarification�of�legislative�changes,�such�as�theStronger�Super�and�Future�of�Financial�Advicereforms.
While�poor�market�conditions�impactedrecruitment�within�international�institutions,�ithad�a�less�severe�effect�on�domestic�banksdue�to�their�lack�of�exposure�to�internationalmarkets.�Two�market�segments�-�namelymortgages�and�wealth�management�-�werethe�main�drivers�behind�the�majority�ofrecruitment�activity.
While�recruitment�levels�within�the�mortgagessector�are�typically�steady�due�to�the�natureof�the�industry,�we�saw�notable�growth�in�thisarea�in�2012.�This�was�primarily�because�ofcontinued�demand�and�increased�refinancingdue�to�the�abolishment�of�exit�fees�in�2011which�led�to�these�products�becoming�moreimportant�to�banks.
The�increase�in�recruitment�across�the�wealthsector�was�primarily�driven�by�the�domesticbanks'�superannuation�products.�Firms
continued�to�focus�on�this�key�source�ofrevenue�due�to�its�relative�resilience�to�marketconditions.�As�a�result,�we�saw�domesticbanks�positioning�themselves�aggressivelyto�differentiate�themselves�in�the�market.The�most�in�demand�candidates�varied�as�aresult�of�these�trends.�However,�strong�clientservices�and�processing-focused�candidatesfor�both�mortgages�and�superannuation�werehighly�sought-after.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�the�banking�operations�recruitmentmarket�to�remain�similar�to�2012.�While�therewill�be�the�inevitable�drop�in�activity�overquarter�one�as�hiring�managers�take�annualleave,�recruitment�will�likely�increase�in�quartertwo�and�three�as�headcount�are�approved.Retail�banks�will�hire�in�the�highest�volumes,with�demand�remaining�for�professionals�withknowledge�of�mortgages�and�superannuationbut�also�more�generic�deposit�and�lendingproducts�as�firms�continue�to�seek�tostrengthen�balance�sheets.�The�potentialintroduction�of�a�fifth�retail�bank�in�thedomestic�market�could�also�generate�a�spikein�recruitment�activity.

Our�Sydney�commerce�&�industry�divisionrecruits�accounting�professionals�at�all�levelsinto�a�broad�range�of�industries.�Our�clientsrange�in�size�from�large�multinationals�throughto�SMEs�across�New�South�Wales.�We�recruitfor�roles�ranging�from�junior�transactionalpositions�and�part-qualified�accountantsto�senior�management�roles�and�boardlevel�appointments.�Alongside�traditionalfinance�roles,�we�also�recruit�for�corporatedevelopment,�strategy,�planning,�pricing�andmanagement�consulting�positions.
Market�OverviewOverall,�2012�was�a�mixed�year�for�accountingrecruitment.�While�there�were�periods�ofconfidence�due�to�the�relative�strength�of�thelocal�economy,�firms�took�a�cautious�approachto�hiring�in�the�face�of�macro-economicchallenges.
As�in�previous�years,�product-driven�industriessuch�as�FMCG�and�pharmaceuticals�hired�inthe�greatest�volumes�due�to�high�consumerdemand.�While�organisations�tied�to�themining�industry�also�had�a�strong�year,demand�dropped�in�quarter�four�once�budgetsfor�2013�were�set�and�the�slowdown�of�theresources�boom�became�more�apparent.
There�was�a�shortage�of�quality�candidates,particularly�at�the�newly-qualified�level�in2012.�This�was�due�to�organisations�beingin�a�stronger�position�to�retain�and�promotequality�staff.�In�contrast,�there�was�an�increasein�the�number�of�available�candidates�at�thesenior�level�as�companies�became�far�morecautious�and�implemented�streamlined�seniormanagement�structures.�This�caused�financemanager�and�controller�positions�to�becomehighly�competitive.�As�a�result,�senior�financeprofessionals�lowered�their�salary�expectationsin�some�cases�as�they�sought�to�competewith�up-and-coming�finance�managers.�Therewere�also�increases�witnessed�in�contractrates�at�the�senior�end�of�the�market,�as�a
number�of�finance�transformations�occured�inthe�Australian�marketplace.
Management�accountants�and�commercialanalysts�were�in�high�demand,�particularlyin�the�temporary/contract�market,�asorganisations�sought�to�optimise�costs�andgenerate�revenue.�At�the�transactional�level,payroll�officers�were�in�high�demand.�Thiswas�due�to�more�organisations�turning�toshared�services�functions�and�placing�ahigher�emphasis�on�specific�systems/softwareexperience.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�to�see�market�conditions�remainsimilar�in�2013.�Finance�candidates�with�atrack�record�of�process�improvement�andvalue�add�will�be�in�highest�demand�and�arelikely�to�receive�significant�increases�in�salarieswhen�moving�roles.
Due�to�increased�competition�for�talent,�bothemployers�and�employees�will�need�to�beflexible�in�order�to�secure�the�role/candidatethey�are�looking�for.�Organisations�will�needto�continue�to�improve�benefits�packages�toattract�new�talent.�Professionals�will�need�tobe�open�to�temporary-to-permanent�and�fixedterm�contract�opportunities�as�organisationsremain�cautious�about�hiring�large�numbers�ofpermanent�staff.

were�a�focus�for�employers�hiring�thesecandidates,�they�placed�more�value�on�theability�to�build�relationships�with�both�internaland�external�stakeholders�and�gain�theirbuy-in�for�new�strategies.�As�a�result,�theysought�professionals�with�both�strategic�andoperational�ability�for�these�roles.
We�saw�some�demand�for�strong�internalrecruiters�in�the�second�half�of�the�year�asemployers�sought�to�reduce�costs.�Changemanagers,�project�managers�and�seniororganisational�development�managerswere�also�consistently�in�demand,�withorganisations�working�on�various�projects.
Establishing�a�strong�employer�brand�wasat�the�forefront�of�some�organisations’�talentstrategies.�As�a�result,�talent�attractionspecialists�were�in�high�demand.�However,there�were�only�a�few�suitably-skilledcandidates�seeking�new�jobs.�As�thisbecomes�more�of�a�priority�for�employers,�weexpect�it�to�be�a�key�growth�area�in�2013.
Across�all�HR�disciplines,�there�were�littlechanges�to�salaries�as�companies�focusedon�costs.�Professionals�consistently�soughtorganisations�with�strong�career�progressionopportunities,�a�respected�HR�leadership�teamand�flexibility�in�the�work�place.

Our�Sydney�IT�banking�&�financial�servicesdivision�recruits�IT�specialists�in�all�technicalverticals�throughout�the�financial�services,insurance�and�investment�and�retail�bankingindustries.�Specifically,�we�focus�on�recruitingprofessionals�with�relevant�industry�anddomain�experience�within�the�following�areas:PMO�(project�managers,�project�coordinatorsand�business�analysts),�development(Java,�.NET,�C++),�architecture,�testing,infrastructure,�ERP/CRM�and�BI/DW.
Market�OverviewIn�2012,�we�saw�an�increase�in�fixed�term�andshort-term�contract�positions�as�uncertainmarket�conditions�caused�a�reduction�inpermanent�job�levels.�This�was�demonstratedby�a�reduction�of�fixed�headcount�in�thelocal�operations�of�the�overseas�investmentbanks,�with�reluctance�to�invest�fuelled�bythe�European�sovereign�debt�crisis�and�thecontinued�strength�of�the�Australian�dollar.
As�many�banking�and�finance�organisationsfocused�on�lowering�costs,�we�saw�a�markedincrease�in�the�number�of�top-tier�candidatesmoving�from�the�European�and�Americaninvestment�banks�to�the�institutional�armsof�the�local�retailers.�Redundancies�andrestructures�at�the�senior�level�were�common,with�companies�focusing�on�more�handson�roles,�meaning�mid-level�managementvacancies�were�the�most�competitive�and�leastavailable.
In�the�insurance�sector,�general�insurancecompanies�cut�contractor�numbers�at�thebeginning�of�the�year�following�the�naturaldisasters�in�2010/2011.�Hiring�levels�slowlybegan�to�increase�in�the�second�half�of2012�as�a�result�of�major�transformationprogrammes,�the�finalisation�of�restructuresand�legislative�changes.�This�resulted�indemand�for�professionals�with�Guidewire,HUON�and�workers�compensation�experience.
The�life�insurance,�superannuation�and�wealthmanagement�sectors�were�more�stable�thantheir�general�insurance�counterparts,�withthe�Future�of�Financial�Advice�(FOFA)�reformsresulting�in�increased�demand�for�businessanalysts�and�project�managers�to�work�onthese�legislative�changes.
Outsourcing�and�off-shoring�in�areas�such�assupport�and�lower�level�development�was�akey�trend�of�2012�across�banking,�financialservices�and�insurance,�with�major�globalpartners�embedding�themselves�both�on�andoffshore.�While�many�large�financial�institutionswere�winding�down�their�onsite�infrastructure,several�large�projects�in�other�organisationsresulted�in�plans�to�roll�out�more�infrastructureand�increase�headcount�in�the�Sydney�market.
Recruitment�processes�lengthened�in�2012as�companies�were�hesitant�to�recruit�due�tomarket�conditions.�When�they�were�committedto�a�hire,�firms�were�forced�to�seek�headcountapproval�from�other�offices�globally.�Becauseof�this,�firms�often�lost�out�on�their�first-choicecandidate�during�the�recruitment�process.
Outlook�for�2013While�economic�and�political�uncertainty�in�theEuropean�and�American�markets�makes�theoutlook�for�2013�difficult�to�predict,�we�expectrecruitment�levels�and�trends�to�largely�remainconsistent.
Due�to�regulatory�reforms�across�banking�andfinancial�services,�such�as�FOFA,�the�Fair�andAccurate�Credit�Transactions�Act,�Dodd-Frankand�Basel�III,�we�envisage�a�continuedrequirement�for�business�analysts�and�projectmanagers�with�specialist�experience�inthese�areas.�Developers�with�trading�systemexperience�are�also�likely�to�be�in�demand�dueto�ongoing�high�profile�transformation�projects,as�well�as�consultants�with�online�and�mobileexpertise�as�banks�and�financial�institutionsmove�their�services�in�this�direction�as�theyseek�to�gain�customers.

Our�Sydney�IT�commerce�&�industry�divisionrecruits�IT�specialists�across�all�industrytypes�excluding�the�banking,�finance�andinsurance�industries.�Each�consultant�focuseson�a�specific�technical�vertical�including:support,�development,�testing,�digital�media,networking,�system�administration,�databases,architecture,�business�analysis,�projectmanagement,�business�intelligence�andERP/CRM.
Market�OverviewDemand�for�IT�professionals�in�quarters�oneand�two�of�2012�remained�steady�due�touncertain�market�conditions�caused�by�thefallout�of�the�global�financial�crisis�and�theslowdown�of�the�Chinese�economy.�Thesefactors�had�an�adverse�affect�on�confidence�inthe�Sydney�market,�with�many�projects�beingput�on�hold�and�hiring�budgets�frozen.
Following�the�new�financial�year,�we�saw�aslight�increase�in�recruitment�during�quarterthree�as�companies�released�projects.�Thiscontinued�in�quarter�four�as�organisationslooked�to�hire�staff�to�implement�cost-cuttingexercises�through�automation/streamliningof�processes,�as�well�as�the�utilisation�ofnew�technologies�such�as�cloud,�VMware,KVM�and�DevOps.�Despite�this�interest�incloud�technologies,�we�saw�multi-milliondollar�investments�by�numerous�companiesin�Sydney-based�data�centres�to�cater�fortheir�client’s�desire�to�manage�data�locally,regardless�of�cost.
As�cost-cutting�was�a�consistent�themeduring�2012,�we�saw�an�increasednumber�of�organisations�opting�tooutsource�or�offshore�support�or�low�leveldevelopment/infrastructure�roles�in�order�tosave�money�and�focus�more�on�core�areas�oftheir�business.
Large�scale�restructures�and�redundancieswere�relatively�common�throughout�the�year,further�contributing�to�the�uncertainty�in�the
marketplace.�This�downsizing,�coupled�withan�increasing�number�of�candidates�movingout�of�the�banking�and�finance�industry,meant�there�were�sharp�influxes�of�availablecandidates�in�the�market.�This�createdabnormal�pockets�of�supply�and�demandin�the�commerce�and�industry�sector�anddrove�down�rates�and�salaries,�particularly�forbusiness�analysts�and�project�managers.
In�areas�where�the�supply�of�candidatesoutstripped�demand,�many�IT�professionalsconsidered�working�interstate�or�abroad.Specifically,�the�delivery�of�some�very�highprofile�projects�within�the�government�anddefence�sectors�meant�a�number�of�ITprofessionals�considered�roles�in�the�AustralianCapital�Territory.
Organisations�that�did�make�new�hires�in2013�often�looked�for�professionals�withbusiness-facing�skills�who�could�influencechange,�in�particular,�professionals�withknowledge�of�cloud,�VMWare,�DevOps,e-commerce,�m-commerce,�digital�media,Agile,�Oracle�Fusion,�OBIEE,�Voice�andSecurity,�Data�Centre,�iOS,�Android,�HTML5,UI/UX�and�open�source�tools�such�asSelenium�and�Spring�Integration�were�allsought.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�hiring�trends�to�remain�broadlyconsistent�in�2013,�with�any�changesdependent�on�the�economic�climate�locallyand�overseas.
However,�demand�for�candidates�with�nicheskills�who�are�business-facing�will�continueregardless�of�how�the�market�develops.�Skillsin�demand�are�expected�to�remain�similar,with�a�particular�focus�on�cloud,�mobileapplications�and�e-commerce�as�businessperformance�becomes�more�and�moredependent�on�the�Internet.

Our�legal�division�focuses�on�recruitingtemporary,�contract�and�permanent�roleswithin�private�practice,�government�andcommerce�and�industry.�Drawing�uponthe�resources�of�our�local�and�globaloffice�network,�we�recruit�at�all�levels,�fromparalegals�to�contract�managers,�juniorlawyers�to�partners�and�general�counsel/headof�legal.�Our�client�base�includes�top-tier,mid-tier�and�boutique�law�firms,�governmentauthorities�and�corporations,�as�well�asblue-chip�companies�and�other�commercialleaders.
Market�OverviewAfter�a�fairly�buoyant�start�to�the�year,�legal�joblevels�fell�and�remained�at�relatively�low�levelsthroughout�the�second�half�of�2012.�With�theeconomy�still�faltering,�the�majority�of�hiringwas�focused�on�replacing�staff�rather�thanheadcount�growth.
In�keeping�with�the�previous�year’s�trends,lawyers�with�3-6�years'�experience�were�mostsought-after�due�to�a�gap�in�the�market�at�thislevel.�This�shortage�of�professionals�can�beattributed�in�part�to�natural�attrition,�as�wellas�the�trend�within�in-house�to�poach�lawyersat�this�level�from�law�firms,�as�they�representexperienced�yet�affordable�hires.
Organisations�sought�lawyers�with�previousin-house�or�secondment�experience�toensure�their�transition�from�practice�wasas�seamless�as�possible.�Due�to�businessgrowth�and�investment�at�a�national�levelin�energy�and�resources,�mining�andconstruction/engineering,�infrastructure�andtechnology�sectors,�businesses�in�thesespaces�were�most�active�in�the�recruitmentmarket.�Lawyers�with�environment�andplanning,�property,�construction�(front�andback-end),�insurance,�restructuring�andinsolvency�experience�were�particularly�indemand,�although�there�was�a�noticeable�lackof�professionals�with�this�experience�in�thelocal�market.
Throughout�the�year,�private�practice�lawyerswere�keen�to�make�the�transition�in-housedue�to�the�improved�work-life�balance�theseroles�offered�and�the�opportunity�to�workfor�a�single�client.�However,�the�in-housejobs�market�was�relatively�restrained�as�mostteams�sought�to�cover�more�work�with�lessresource.�As�a�result,�businesses�subsequentlyneeded�to�outsource�work�hence�recruitmentlevels�were�higher�in�private�practice�thanin-house.�Across�private�practice,�roles�thatoffered�interesting�work,�coupled�with�work-lifebalance,�were�most�sought-after.
A�stand-out�trend�in�2012�was�the�influx�of�UKand�US�firms�entering�the�Australian�market,both�through�mergers�and�also�hiring�teams�ofpartners�from�other�practices.�As�Europe�stillsuffers�the�effects�of�the�global�financial�crisis,these�firms�were�attracted�to�the�more�stableAustralian�economy.�This�resulted�in�Australianfirms�being�able�to�offer�global�opportunities�tostaff.
Salaries�remained�fairly�steady�throughout�theyear�due�to�continued�scrutiny�on�cost.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�hiring�activity�to�increasemarginally�in�the�first�half�of�the�year�as�marketconfidence�returns.�Despite�widespreadcautiousness,�we�anticipate�competition�forthe�best�lawyers�will�remain�intense�as�firmsand�organisations�compete�for�in�demandcandidates.
Due�to�a�continued�tightening�of�budgets,salaries�are�unlikely�to�move�substantially�withonly�job�movers�expected�to�receive�significantincreases.�We�expect�to�continue�seeinglawyers�move�from�top-tier�to�mid-tier�firmsas�they�seek�to�secure�an�improved�work-lifebalance.

Our�procurement,�supply�chain�&�logisticsdivision�recruits�white�collar�procurement,supply�chain�and�logistics�professionals�forboth�permanent�and�interim�opportunities.
Market�OverviewProcurementAs�market�uncertainty�continued�andorganisations�looked�to�reduce�costs,�therewas�a�steady�flow�of�opportunities�in�theprocurement�market�throughout�2012.
The�bulk�of�recruitment�activity�was�at�thecategory�management�level�as�organisationssought�deeper�analysis�of�all�their�spendingactivities.�This�led�to�roles�becoming�morespecific�in�nature�and�category�expertisein�areas�such�as�marketing,�capex�andcommodities�becoming�increasingly�important.
As�organisations�attempted�to�increase�theiraddressable�spend,�strong�procurementanalysts�who�could�liaise�with�stakeholderswere�highly�desirable.�At�the�senior�end�ofthe�market�there�were�fewer�opportunitiesavailable�due�to�off-shoring,�a�lack�ofcandidate�movement�and�most�roles�beingreplacement�rather�than�growth�hires.�Thismade�it�difficult�to�forecast�where�opportunitieswould�arise.
Supply�ChainSupply�chain�recruitment�covering�planning,inventory�management,�purchasing�andcustomer�service,�was�buoyant�throughoutthe�year.�This�was�particularly�evident�at�thejunior�level,�where�the�S&OP�process�becamethe�core�focus,�leading�to�further�investmentin�advanced�planning�processes�and�ensuringinventory�holdings�were�kept�at�the�mostefficient�level.
LogisticsLogistics�job�levels�remained�high�throughout2012.�This�was�due�to�natural�attrition�inthe�market�and�companies�increasinglyoutsourcing�their�logistics�to�third�parties.�Most
junior�logistics�candidates�moved�for�minimalsalary�increases,�instead�focusing�more�onbeing�able�to�work�on�a�major�account�or�awell-branded�business�that�would�providethem�with�better�experience�and�careerprogression.
Outlook�for�2013ProcurementWe�expect�category�management�joblevels�to�remain�high�in�2013.�As�a�result,salaries�will�rise�for�specialists�in�this�area�asemployers�compete�for�the�best�talent.�Wealso�expect�senior�level�vacancies�to�rise�asthese�professionals�look�for�a�new�challenge.Outside�of�these�niche�areas,�however,�overalljob�seeker�numbers�will�exceed�vacancyvolumes�causing�significant�competition�forroles�and�little�opportunity�for�salary�increases.
Supply�ChainAs�manufacturing�functions�will�largely�remainoffshore,�recruitment�activity�will�continue�tobe�driven�by�the�S&OP�process.�CapableS&OP�professionals�are�currently�in�shortsupply,�meaning�employers�will�have�to�offersalary�package�increases�to�secure�strongercandidates�who�are�unlikely�to�be�activelysearching�for�new�jobs.
LogisticsWe�expect�recruitment�in�the�logistics�sectorto�remain�buoyant�throughout�2013.�Mostprofessionals�will�be�attracted�by�innovativecompanies�looking�to�implement�new�systemsor�processes�offering�them�the�opportunityto�improve�their�skill�set.�Salaries�levels�areexpected�to�remain�consistent�as�the�marketremains�relatively�‘candidate�rich’,�with�anyincreases�dependent�on�specific�project�orsystems�experience.

The�Robert�Walters�specialist�banking�teamrecruits�risk,�compliance�and�internal�auditprofessionals.�The�division�has�an�extensivetrack�record�of�search�and�contingencyrecruitment,�from�entry�to�head�of�departmentlevel.�We�recruit�professionals�acrosscompliance,�fraud,�anti-money�laundering,investigations,�enforcement,�forensics,internal�audit,�operational�credit,�market�risk,quantitative�analysis�and�financial�planning�andadvice.
Market�OverviewWe�saw�a�steady�increase�in�the�volume�ofspecialist�risk�and�compliance�recruitment�as2012�progressed.�In�quarter�one,�employersgenerally�took�a�cautious�approach�to�hiring,with�international�organisations�particularlyinactive�in�the�recruitment�market�as�theinternational�economy�remained�unstable.
However,�we�saw�an�increase�in�job�levelsthroughout�quarter�two�and�this�demandremained�strong�throughout�the�remainder�ofthe�year.�Regulatory�reform�and�a�focus�onstrengthening�risk�management�frameworkswere�the�two�main�trends�that�drove�thisactivity.
Within�the�regulatory�space,�subjectmatter�experts�with�prior�regulatory�reformimplementation�and�affecting�changeexperience�were�in�high�demand�followingsignificant�changes�in�this�area.�Theintroduction�of�Basel�III�(which�affectedthe�amount�of�regulatory�capital�banksare�required�to�hold)�meant�that�specialistcompliance,�risk�management�and�projectmanagers�were�also�highly�sought-after.This�was�also�the�case�within�the�wealthmanagement�space.�Increased�focus�on�theStronger�Super�and�FOFA�reforms�meantthat�risk�management�and�complianceprofessionals�with�prior�experience�insuperannuation,�financial�planning�and�advicewere�in�exceptionally�high�demand.
Job�levels�were�particularly�high�withindomestic�banks�as�these�institutionscontinued�to�focus�on�strengthening�andimproving�their�‘three�lines�of�defence’�model.As�a�result,�we�saw�strong�demand�forinternal�audit�and�operational�risk�specialists.Individuals�who�were�already�in�traditionalaudit�roles�were�also�given�the�opportunityto�move�into�second�line�risk�roles,�meaninggaps�within�audit�teams�had�to�be�filledexternally.�Most�new�hires�in�these�instancescame�directly�from�professional�servicesorganisations.
Movement�in�the�market�ensured�wecontinued�to�see�demand�in�the�investmentand�corporate�banking�compliance�space.However,�the�majority�of�recruitment�was�asa�result�of�key�compliance�individuals�movingorganisations.�We�saw�very�few�new�rolesbeing�created�as�firms�sought�to�‘do�more�withless’.
New�entrants�into�the�market�and�establishedglobal�corporate�banks�looked�to�strengthentheir�domestic�project�finance�capabilities.As�a�result,�professionals�with�previousproject�finance�experience�(particularly�in�theutilities�and�resources�sector)�were�very�highlysought-after.�This�was�particularly�the�casewithin�Chinese�banks�that�were�looking�togrow�into�the�Australian�market�and�utilisethe�strength�of�their�balance�sheet�in�helpingunderwrite�deals�(domestic�banks�do�not�havethe�capital�capabilities�for�this�at�this�stage).
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�recruitment�levels,�particularlywithin�the�specialist�areas�mentioned,�toremain�strong�and�high�quality�candidates�toremain�in�demand.�There�will�be�a�continuedfocus�on�the�areas�of�regulatory�landscapeand�the�strength�of�risk�managementframeworks.�As�a�result�specialist�complianceand�risk�management�professionals�withexperience�in�these�areas�will�remain�indemand.

Our�sales,�marketing�and�communicationsdivision�recruits�professionals�across�a�rangeof�industries,�including�FMCG�and�liquor,pharmaceuticals,�publishing�and�media,�IT&T,medical�devices�and�professional�services.�Ourexpertise�covers�all�sales�roles,�from�businessdevelopment�and�account/relationshipmanagers�to�sales�directors,�along�with�thefull�range�of�marketing�and�communicationspositions,�from�internal�communicationsspecialists�and�marketing�coordinators�tomarketing�directors.
Market�OverviewSales�and�marketing�job�levels�fluctuatedthroughout�2012.�While�we�saw�relatively�littlerecruitment�activity�in�quarter�one�following�theChristmas�and�New�Year,�period�hiring�levelsincreased�in�quarters�two�and�three�as�newfinancial�year�budgets�were�released.
In�the�IT&T�sector,�we�saw�increased�demandfor�enterprise�level�business�developmentmanagers�with�strong�knowledge�of�newtechnologies�who�keep�pace�with�a�very�fastchanging�industry.
However,�there�was�a�fall�in�the�number�ofaccount�manager�roles�available�due�to�alack�of�movement�in�this�space.�There�wasalso�less�desire�by�organisations�to�replacethese�roles�when�they�became�vacant,�withorganisations�typically�splitting�key�accountsbetween�existing�staff�rather�than�making�newhires�to�cover�these�extra�workloads.�Therewas�also�a�decrease�in�sales�and�marketingdirector-level�opportunities�as�organisationsfocused�on�selling�cloud-based�solutionsto�SMEs.�As�a�result,�sales�and�marketingprofessionals�with�experience�of�selling�intothis�space�were�in�demand.
Within�the�FMCG�industry,�increasedcompetition�in�the�marketplace,�as�well�asa�focus�on�promoting�new�products�andconcepts�meant�marketing�communicationsand�innovation�managers�were�in�high
demand.�Sales�departments�focused�onrecruiting�shopper�insights�professionals�andcategory�development�managers�as�theysought�to�improve�engagement�with�retailers.
When�recruiting�national�accountmanagers,�firms�typically�focused�on�hiringprofessionals�with�experience�of�working�withcategory-focused�information�and�data�asranging�credibility�became�an�increasinglyimportant�for�retailers.
With�significant�pressure�on�cost,�salarylevels�remained�stable�in�2012.�Organisationscontinued�to�employ�lengthy�interviewprocesses�to�ensure�the�commerciality�of�theirnew�hires.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�increased�activity�at�the�end�of�2012,we�expect�recruitment�levels�to�remainrelatively�high�in�the�New�Year.�The�emphasison�cloud�computing�is�set�to�continue,meaning�professionals�with�specific�experiencein�this�area�are�likely�to�remain�in�demand.
As�businesses�increasingly�focus�oncommercial�viability�and�gaining�a�competitiveedge�in�their�sales�and�marketing�strategies,professionals�with�category�management�andinsights�experience�will�be�in�high�demand.

Market�OverviewWhile�recruitment�activity�remained�relativelyrestrained�throughout�2012,�we�saw�a�slightincrease�in�job�levels�in�the�second�half�of�theyear�across�all�sectors�as�confidence�slowlyreturned�to�the�market.
The�uncertainty�in�Europe�and�the�financialmarkets�had�an�impact�locally,�with�someorganisations�adopting�a�cautious�approach�tohiring.�This�typically�led�to�employers�focusingmore�on�replacement�hiring�than�the�creationof�new�roles.�As�a�result�of�this�focus�on�cost,some�organisations�streamlined�positions�bycombining�duties/roles�to�make�more�efficientuse�of�their�existing�resources�and�personnel.
We�saw�more�confidence�among�Australiancompanies,�many�of�which�had�the�ability�tomake�hiring�decisions�locally.�By�contrast,international�firms�were�typically�subject�torestrictions�imposed�by�overseas�head�offices.This�was�especially�the�case�in�the�bankingsector,�where�the�Australian�retail�banks�hiredconsistently�whilst�the�international�banksstruggled�to�get�sign-off�for�new�employees.
However,�there�were�still�some�industriesthat�were�active�in�the�recruitment�market.The�FMCG�(particularly�drinks�and�beverageorganisations),�legal�firms,�IT&T�and�transportand�logistics�sectors�all�consistently�madenew�support�hires.�Although�not�immune�fromeconomic�conditions,�these�sectors�were�ableto�benefit�from�a�more�consistent�Australianmarket,�make�local�hiring�decisions�and�exploitgrowth�areas�where�applicable.
Throughout�the�year,�employers�soughtprofessionals�with�specialist�rather�thangeneralist�skill�sets.�For�example,�we
saw�increased�demand�for�legal�secretariesand�junior�administration�staff�to�support�newpartner�hires�in�some�local�and�internationallaw�firms.
Salaries�remained�static�across�the�boarddue�to�strict�budgetary�constraints.�Manyprofessionals�were�willing�to�be�flexible,�oftenmoving�for�the�same�salary�as�their�previousrole.�Instead,�candidates�sought�opportunitiesoffering�an�appealing�work�culture�and�thepotential�to�develop�their�skills�and�careers.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�the�secretarial�and�businesssupport�recruitment�market�will�remainconsistent�in�early�2013.�We�expect�continueduncertainty�in�some�markets,�particularlyinvestment�banking�and�construction,although�overall�market�sentiment�indicatesthat�organisations�will�continue�to�hire.�Asprofessionals�are�likely�to�continue�to�beflexible�on�salary,�we�do�not�expect�any�majorincreases�in�this�year.

After a relatively strong year in 2011, the Chinese economy did not remain immune to the effects of prolonged global economic uncertainty and hiring levels varied considerably by sector throughout 2012.
Banking and financial services firms were most affected by global market conditions. While these employers were keen to increase profitability and hire sales professionals, they were also required to minimise costs and, in some cases, were subject to headcount freezes.
Despite the uncertainty, affluence and disposable income levels continued to increase across China leading to growth within the retail, luxury and FMCG industries. Although many of these organisations were scaling back expansion plans, there were still a number of international brands expanding to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, resulting in particular demand for sales, HR, training, business development and leasing professionals. In addition, technology companies also grew steadily due to an influx of foreign investment into China, and demand increased as a result for IT professionals with cross- regional experience, programmers and business analysts who could support expanding businesses.
However, most recruitment activity throughout 2012 was largely replacement-focused as employers concentrated on reducing costs. As companies sought to ensure that they hired only the best candidates, we also saw an increasing tendency to implement psychometric testing during the recruitment process.
With the economic environment challenging, salary increments for professionals who moved jobs were generally lower than previous years. Specifically, candidates typically received increases of 15-20% when changing roles in 2012 (compared to 15-30% in 2011). However, strong performers received as much as a 40% increase in some cases.
As international organisations focused on localising their Chinese businesses, demand for Westernised talent reduced throughout the year. Instead, candidates from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia were preferred for their Mandarin language skills and ability to adapt to the local culture.
As the economy showed signs of recovery at the end of 2012 with improving manufacturing activity, multinational conglomerates are likely to continue to invest in China moving into 2013. While we expect this to lead to new positions being released, organisations will remain cost-conscious and as a result will seek local candidates – along with professionals from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan – to fill positions vacated by expats.
With organisations continuing to seek high-calibre candidates, attracting and retaining the best talent will be a key challenge. Although most job seekers were previously primarily motivated by salary increments, career development is becoming increasingly important. As China’s projected GDP exceeds 8% and increased consumer inflation is also anticipated, salary levels are likely to grow in 2013. As a result, we expect candidates to receive increments of between 15-25% when moving jobs.

Our�sales�and�marketing�divisionrecruits�permanent�positions�for�allmajor�business-to-consumer�andbusiness-to-business�industry�sectors,including�FMCG,�cosmetics,�retail,�luxury,automotive,�machinery,�electronics,�energyand�IT.�It�specialises�in�mid�to�senior-levelroles,�such�as�account�managers,�businessdevelopment�managers,�product�managers,marketing�directors,�regional�sales�managers,sales�directors�and�sales�GM/VPs.
Market�OverviewConsumerAlthough�most�businesses�in�China�wereaffected�by�the�economic�slowdown,�theconsumer�sales�and�marketing�sector�provedrelatively�resilient�to�market�conditions.Recruitment�levels�remained�high�within�theFMCG,�retail�and�luxury�industries,�with�anumber�of�international�brands�expanding�to‘Tier�2’�cities�in�North�China.
A�significant�number�of�professionals�withbrand�management�experience�movedto�Shanghai�due�to�the�improved�careerprospects�on�offer,�which�caused�the�talentpool�to�shrink�in�Beijing.�As�a�result,�brandmanagers�were�in�particularly�high�demandand�short�supply.�As�businesses�expandedrapidly,�there�was�also�demand�for�businessdevelopment�professionals,�store�managers,brand�managers�and�training�managers.
Candidates�were�optimistic�about�theirjob�prospects�in�the�growing�FMCG�andretail�industries.�Many�were�open�to�newopportunities�and�improved�remuneration.Store�managers�were�particularly�open�tomoving�jobs,�with�most�typically�doing�soeach�year.�Training,�business�developmentand�marketing�professionals,�however,�placedmore�value�on�job�stability.
Overall,�salary�levels�remained�relatively�stablethroughout�2012.�However,�those�changingjobs�received�increments�of�up�to�20-30%
while�some�brand�managers�were�also�able�tocommand�a�premium.�Professionals�workingwithin�the�FMCG,�retail�and�luxury�sectors�whostayed�in�their�existing�roles�typically�receivedsalary�increases�of�around�20%.
IndustrialIndustrial�sales�and�marketing�job�levels�variedby�sector.�For�example,�the�IT�sector�remainedfairly�active�throughout�the�year,�while�demandwithin�the�machinery,�automotive�and�oiland�gas�sectors�was�comparable�with�therelatively�high�levels�seen�in�2011.�However,hiring�activity�decreased�slightly�within�thetelecommunications�sector.
Although�most�recruitment�was�on�areplacement�basis,�we�saw�creation�of�newheadcount�within�two�new�sectors�-�namelyhealthcare�and�life�sciences�due�to�thegovernment’s�initiatives�on�improving�andstrengthening�the�quality�standards�in�theseindustries.�In�addition,�we�also�observeddemand�for�professionals�with�cloud-relatedsales�experience�as�IT�shared�service�centresfocused�on�positioning�themselves�as�totalsolutions�providers.�Employers�generallypreferred�local�bilingual�talent�when�hiringfor�sales-related�and�marketing�roles�due�tothe�strong�local�network�and�understandingof�local�markets�that�these�professionalspossessed.
Industrial�sales�and�marketing�candidateswere�particularly�optimistic�due�to�therelatively�positive�outlook�of�this�market.However,�professionals�working�withinthe�telecommunications�and�automotivesectors�remained�cautious.�They�typicallyexpected�salary�increments�of�20-25%�whenmoving�roles�but�some�were�seen�willing�tocompromise�for�less�if�presented�with�bettercareer�opportunities.�In�contrast,�senior�levelprofessionals�were�less�motivated�by�salaryincrements,�with�many�prefering�to�switch�tocompanies�with�better�products�and�whichprovided�bigger�job�scope.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�the�market�will�recoverslightly�and�firms�within�the�IT�andrailway/infrastructure�sectors�are�likely�tohire�consistently.�Some�sectors,�such�ashealthcare�and�life�science,�will�continue�togrow�and�organisations�in�this�space�will�lookto�hire�more�sales�professionals�to�meet�theirneeds�for�a�larger�workforce.
Talent�retention�will�be�a�key�challenge�foremployers,�particularly�within�the�consumerluxury�sector.�A�number�of�multinationalcompanies�are�expected�to�expand�theirbusinesses�in�China�and�this�will�further�leadto�stiffer�competition�for�top�candidates.�As�aresult,�we�expect�professionals�moving�rolesin�this�area�to�receive�salary�increases�of�upto�30%�as�organisations�fight�to�secure�thehighest-calibre�professionals.

Market�OverviewAccounting�&�FinanceWe�saw�significant�hiring�activity�duringthe�first�half�of�2012,�particularly�within�theautomotive,�FMCG,�chemical,�pharmaceutical,medical�devices,�mechanical,�machinery�andequipment�industries.�Some�multinationalcompanies�implemented�growth�strategies,which�led�to�the�creation�of�new�headcount.With�Nanjing�being�one�of�the�coremanufacturing�centres�in�China,�companiessought�experienced�professionals�for�controlroles�such�as�financial�controllers,�internalaudit�managers�and�costing�managers�to�helpcut�costs.
As�the�global�economic�slowdown�began�toaffect�China�in�the�second�half�of�the�year,we�witnessed�high�turnover�rates.�This�wasparticularly�the�case�within�the�automotiveand�FMCG�industries�as�companies�increasedworkloads�without�increasing�compensation.This�caused�many�employees�to�seekimproved�job�opportunities�and�most�expectedsalary�increments�of�15-30%�when�movingroles.�Professionals�generally�receivedincrements�of�25-30%�for�managerial�rolesand�15-20%�for�supervisor�roles.
Human�ResourcesRecruitment�levels�remained�relatively�highin�the�first�half�of�2012,�particularly�within�theautomotive,�chemical�and�FMCG�industries.We�saw�a�surge�in�new�projects�beingimplemented�in�Nanjing�by�a�number�ofmultinational�businesses,�leading�to�anincrease�in�demand�for�talent�across�the�HR
division.�Nevertheless,�HR�professionals�werekeen�to�transfer�to�headquarters�in�Shanghaiand�other�cities�to�progress�their�careers.�Asa�result,�talent�shortages�were�increasinglyevident�in�the�HR�jobs�market�in�Nanjing.
Broader�global�economic�uncertainty�impactedmany�organisations�from�quarter�threeonwards,�with�most�hiring�occurring�on�areplacement�basis�in�this�period.�When�hiring,employers�became�increasingly�cautious,with�many�opting�for�internal�transfers�forreplacements�to�minimise�time�needed�fortraining.
Although�candidates�were�optimistic�abouttheir�job�prospects,�they�were�conscious�of�theconservative�hiring�activity�towards�the�end�ofthe�year�and�remained�cautious�when�lookingfor�new�opportunities.�They�typically�expectedincrements�of�20%�when�switching�jobs,�whilemarket�rates�rose�by�5-12%�year-on-year.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�recruitment�levels�will�increasein�2013�due�to�increased�investment�in�theautomotive�industry�from�foreign�investors.Professionals�with�financial�controllingexperience�are�likely�to�continue�to�be�indemand�across�all�industries,�although�hiringwithin�the�FMCG�sector�is�likely�to�primarily�beon�a�replacement�basis.

Market�OverviewOperations�&�EngineeringHiring�levels�remained�relatively�high�in�2012,with�a�number�of�new�headcount�createdduring�the�year.�Organisations�that�moved�toNanjing�over�the�last�two�years�continued�toexpand�and�recruit�new�talent.�In�particular,many�organisations�relocated�their�researchand�development�(R&D)�centres�to�Nanjing�toreduce�costs�and�the�potential�to�branch�outto�other�tier�2�cities�such�as�Zhenjiang�andWuhu.
After�focusing�on�hiring�locally-basedprofessionals�in�recent�years,�we�sawa�growing�desire�to�recruit�internationalcandidates�or�individuals�with�overseasexperience�to�certain�senior�roles�in�2012�asmore�multinational�companies�establishedcentres�in�Nanjing.�As�Nanjing�continuedto�develop�as�a�manufacturing�centre,�wealso�saw�some�demand�for�design�engineersand�publication�engineers�at�a�junior�level,as�businesses�sought�to�localise�productsfor�the�Chinese�market.�Overall,�candidateswere�conservative�when�looking�for�newopportunities.�Most�professionals�remainedcautious�about�moving�jobs�and�were�onlywilling�to�move�to�employers�offering�productswith�high�career�development�opportunities.As�in�2011,�candidates�moving�jobs�typicallyreceived�salary�increases�of�15-30%�whendoing�so.
Supply�Chain�&�QualityAs�broader�global�economic�uncertaintyimpacted�companies'�hiring�appetites,�joblevels�fell�in�the�supply�chain�and�quality

Despite�these�trends,�we�observed�consistentgrowth�within�the�chemical,�mechanicaland�automotive�sectors.�As�these�industriesform�the�pillars�of�Nanjing's�economy,�thegovernment�implemented�active�measures�toencourage�their�growth.�Companies�continuedto�recruit�supply�quality�engineers,�buyers�andquality�managers�to�ensure�localised�productqualities�were�consistent�with�standards�set�bythe�US�and�Europe.
With�the�global�financial�crisis�affecting�hiringsentiments,�candidates�were�reluctant�to�movejobs.�Most�professionals�expected�a�salaryincrease�of�15-20%�when�changing�rolesand�up�to�20-30%�if�it�required�relocation.Professionals�generally�received�increments�inthe�region�of�20-25%.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�to�see�more�manufacturingplants�setting�up�in�Nanjing�in�2013�asfirms�look�to�take�advantage�of�the�lowermanufacturing�costs�in�the�region.�This�willlead�to�subsequent�demand�for�mechanical,automotive,�R&D,�project,�electrical,environmental�health�and�safety�and�chemicalengineers.

Our�financial�services�recruitment�divisionin�China�specialises�in�the�recruitment�ofexperienced�front,�middle�and�back�officeprofessionals�for�established�financial�servicescompanies,�including�investment�andcommercial�banks,�private�equity�and�venturecapital�firms,�fund�management�and�securitieshouses.
Market�OverviewFront�OfficeWe�saw�reduced�front�office�recruitmentactivity�within�the�private�banking�sectorthroughout�2012.�Many�foreign�institutionshalted�their�expansion�plans�and�implementedheadcount�freezes�as�a�result�of�broadereconomic�uncertainty�in�Europe�and�the�US.However,�as�some�banks�continued�to�expandin�Asia,�we�saw�continued�hiring�at�the�seniorlevel�as�associate�directors�and�regional�headsfor�corporate�banking�were�hired�in�these�newoffices.
Within�the�retail�banking�sector,�job�levelsremained�high�throughout�the�year.�Due�toa�large�number�of�regional�banks�expandingtheir�branches�to�Tier�2�and�Tier�3�cities,there�was�increased�demand�for�front�officeprofessionals�who�could�help�generaterevenue�(e.g.�relationship�managers).�As�firmsfocused�on�growing�their�businesses�locally,local�candidates�with�excellent�communicationand�Mandarin�skills�were�preferred�by�hiringorganisations.
Shortages�in�local�talent�remained�a�keychallenge�and�led�to�strong�competition�for�thebest�candidates,�driving�salary�expectationsupwards.�However,�professionals�were�notonly�motivated�by�improved�salary�packagesbut�also�considered�the�stability�of�the�bank'sperformance�and�its�links�to�the�Europeanmarket�in�an�uncertain�business�climate.
Middle�&�Back�OfficeThroughout�the�year,�middle�and�back�officehiring�levels�remained�consistent�with�last�year
with�the�majority�of�hiring�on�a�replacementbasis�as�banks�became�more�cost�conscious.Many�foreign�banks�implemented�headcountfreezes�in�this�area�of�their�operations�dueto�the�instability�of�the�European�and�USeconomies.
In�the�second�half�of�the�year,�internationalfinancial�institutions�bolstered�their�controlfunctions�in�response�to�several�overseasbanking�scandals.�Senior�professionals�withrisk,�compliance,�credit�risk�approval�andanti-money�laundering�(AML)�expertise�werehighly�sought-after.�Mandarin�skills�becameincreasingly�important�as�banks�entered�newmarkets�beyond�main�financial�centres�suchas�Shanghai�and�Beijing.�Candidates�whocould�develop�strong�client�relationships�withlocal�clientele�and�possessed�both�overseasand�local�experience�were�particularlysought-after�and�generally�received�averagesalary�increments�of�10-20%�when�movingjobs.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�investment�firms�raising�capitalsfrom�investor�to�perform�M&A,�we�foreseecontinued�demand�for�private�equity�talent�atall�levels.�There�is�also�likely�to�be�continuedhiring�within�risk,�compliance,�AML�andinternal�audit�functions�in�response�to�theforthcoming�introduction�of�the�Basel�IIIregulations�to�China�in�January�2013.
Financial�institutions�recruiting�for�BaselIII-related�roles�are�likely�to�seek�Chineseprofessionals�with�previous�overseasexperience,�local�exposure�and�a�soundunderstanding�of�Chinese�regulations.However,�candidates�will�consider�the�financialstability�of�the�bank�before�considering�a�newrole.�As�Chinese�financial�institutions�continueto�increase�their�presence�within�the�localmarket,�we�expect�to�see�continued�demandfor�local�candidates�with�Mandarin�skills.However,�foreign�institutions�are�likely�to�seekprofessionals�with�bilingual�language�abilities.

Our�information�technology�division�specialisesin�the�permanent�recruitment�of�mid�tosenior-level�IT�professionals.�We�recruitfor�major�multinational,�local�and�regionalorganisations�across�the�following�sectors:�ITbanking�(financial�services�and�insurance),�ITvendor�(IT�and�consulting)�and�IT�commerce(FMCG,�luxury�and�retail,�semiconductor,electronics,�manufacturing,�logistics,petrochemicals,�pharmaceuticals�andtelecommunications).
Market�OverviewFirms�within�the�IT�industry�benefited�from�alarge�influx�of�foreign�investment�into�China�in2012�as�business�expansion�plans�were�put�inplace�and�many�organisations�improved�theirIT�support�infrastructure.�A�rise�in�recruitmentactivity�followed,�with�specific�demand�for�ITprofessionals�with�cross-regional�experience,programmers�and�business�analysts�whocould�support�expanding�businesses.However,�most�coding�and�programming�roleswere�gradually�transferred�to�second�and�thirdtier�cities�such�as�Chengdu,�Xi’an�and�Wuxi�tocut�costs,�which�led�to�decreased�demand�forthese�professionals.
Companies�within�the�commercial�sectorssought�professionals�with�strong�businessacumen�who�could�help�drive�large-scaleimprovements.�While�proficiency�in�Mandarinwas�not�essential�for�most�roles,�Chineselanguage�skills�remained�a�must�forsenior-level�managerial�positions�to�ensurethey�could�communicate�effectively�with�therest�of�the�business.
Candidates�were�generally�optimistic�aboutjob�prospects�and�keen�to�seek�new�roles.Most�were�motivated�by�better�remuneration,improved�career�development�opportunitiesand�the�company�stability.�Becausehigh-quality�professionals�remained�in�strongdemand�and�short�supply,�candidates�typicallyreceived�salary�increases�of�at�least�10%�whenmoving�jobs,�which�was�evident�in�a�number
of�roles.�For�example,�in�2011�an�IT�consultantwould�receive�between�RMB500�-�800k�but�in2012�they�received�RMB550�-�850k.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�increased�hiring�levels�in2013�as�businesses�continue�to�implementexpansion�plans�and�require�IT�systems�tosupport�this�growth.�In�particular,�we�expecthigh�recruitment�activity�within�the�growingconsumer�and�banking�industries,�withparticular�demand�at�the�middle�and�seniorlevels.�Candidates�will�be�expected�to�possesscommercial�awareness�and�those�with�goodcommunication�skills�will�remain�the�mostin�demand.�In�addition,�professionals�withSAP�and�Oracle�IT�systems�experience�andbilingual�proficiency�in�English�and�Mandarinwill�be�particularly�sought-after�as�companieslook�to�optimise�their�business�processes�atminimal�cost.
Salary�levels�are�likely�to�increase�in�line�withmarket�growth�and,�with�intense�competitioncontinuing�for�the�best�talent,�most�mid-levelIT�professionals�are�likely�to�expect�andreceive�increases�of�20%�when�moving�jobs.This�is�especially�the�case�for�roles�such�as�ITconsultants,�IT�auditors�and�SAP�managerswhich�we�foresee�will�have�a�25%�increase�insalary�levels.

IndustrialWe�saw�a�slowdown�in�the�industrial�salessector�in�2012�due�to�a�fall�in�domesticexports�and�reduced�production�needs.As�a�result,�hiring�activity�decreased�withinthe�mechanical�and�electronics�industries.However,�we�witnessed�consistent�demandthroughout�the�year�for�senior�level�roles�suchas�sales�directors�and�marketing�directorsas�organisations�sought�to�strengthentheir�commercial�and�aftermarket�businessstrategies.�Organisations�typically�soughtexperienced�candidates�with�businessacumen,�a�strong�local�network�and�excellentcommunication�skills�to�fill�these�positions.As�companies�continued�to�localise�theirresources,�they�increasingly�preferred�to�recruitlocal�professionals,�making�it�more�difficult�foroverseas�candidates�to�secure�positions.
With�the�economic�uncertainty,�professionalsgenerally�remained�cautious�about�movingjobs�and�typically�waited�to�be�headhuntedbefore�considering�a�move.�Candidates�whodid�move�jobs�during�2012�typically�receivedsalary�increments�of�20-30%�when�doing�so.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�companies�within�theFMCG�and�cosmetics�sectors�are�likelyto�continue�hiring,�due�to�an�increase�indomestic�consumer�spending.�As�a�result,there�is�expected�to�be�an�increase�in�demandfor�junior,�middle�and�senior�level�productmarketing�roles�and�sales�training�roles.�Inparticular,�the�wine�and�spirits�industry�is�likelyto�recruit�actively�for�roles�in�sales,�channelmarketing�and�brand�marketing.�The�foodand�beverages�industry�is�also�expected�tothrive,�leading�to�demand�for�junior�and�middlelevel�brand�marketing�roles.�These�trends�areexpected�as�these�industries�are�developinga�pathway�in�China�and�there�is�still�space�forthem�to�grow.
Hiring�levels�within�the�pharmaceutical�sectorare�likely�to�remain�consistent�as�research
and�development�functions�continue�to�growsteadily.�As�organisations�continue�to�expandinto�Tier�3�and�Tier�4�cities,�there�will�beincreased�demand�for�sales�representatives.Candidates�with�an�MBA�degree,�productanalysis�and�cross-cultural�communicationskills�will�be�particularly�sought-after�forthese�roles�throughout�the�year.�Cost�andstrategy�will�remain�the�biggest�challenges�forpharmaceutical�organisations,�particularly�inthe�R&D�sector�where�there�will�be�a�notabledemand�for�senior�level�professionals�withbusiness�acumen.�Salary�increments�willremain�on�a�par�with�2012,�with�candidatesreceiving�increases�of�20-30%�when�changingjobs.
Within�professional�services�we�expecthiring�levels�to�be�slightly�static�during�thefirst�half�of�2013�as�foreign�companies�halttheir�expansion�plans�and�foreign�investorsbecome�more�cautious�about�the�economy.However,�we�foresee�that�recruitment�levelswill�improve�in�the�second�half�of�the�year�asorganisations�create�new�opportunities.�Inparticular,�new�roles�are�likely�in�the�consumerservices�sector�as�the�Chinese�economyfocuses�more�on�domestic�consumption�thanits�export�industry.�Experienced�candidateswith�market�insights�and�business�acumenwill�be�particularly�sought-after�throughout�theyear�and,�due�to�demand�in�this�area,�are�likelyto�receive�salary�increments�in�the�region�of10-30%�when�moving�jobs.
We�foresee�that�the�retail�and�luxury�sectorswill�continue�to�grow�and�stabilise�next�year.Store�management,�sales�operations,�retailanalysis�and�strategy�level�improvementprofessionals�will�be�in�especially�highdemand.�Salary�increases�for�job�movers�inthis�space�are�likely�to�remain�consistent,meaning�professionals�who�change�rolesshould�receive�increases�in�the�region�of15-20%.

Market�OverviewThe�automotive�and�third�party�logisticsindustries�hired�actively�throughout�the�year�asmore�organisations�began�to�outsource�theirsupply�chain�and�logistics�operations�as�theysought�to�reduce�costs.�As�a�result,�there�wasparticular�demand�for�mid�to�senior-level

However,�firms�within�the�engineering�andmachinery�sectors�were�hired�in�lowervolumes.�While�some�of�these�employerswere�keen�to�recruit,�they�found�it�extremelychallenging�to�hire�highly-skilled�professionalsat�the�relatively�low�salary�levels�they�werelooking�to�pay.�This�skill�shortage�led�togeneral�salary�increases�of�15-20%�across�theindustry.

Market�OverviewAccounting�and�finance�job�levels�were�lowerin�2012�than�2011.�While�recruitment�activityremained�relatively�high�during�the�first�half�ofthe�year,�it�decreased�significantly�from�quarterthree�onwards�as�organisations�implementedheadcount�freezes�due�to�global�economicuncertainty�and�a�tightening�of�budgets.

Our�engineering�team�in�Suzhou�focuses�onthe�placement�of�engineering�professionalsin�mid�to�senior-level�roles�across�a�variety�ofcommercial�sectors,�including�automotive,building�and�construction,�chemical,�electrical,energy,�industrial,�manufacturing,�marine,�oiland�gas�and�healthcare/pharmaceutical.
Market�OverviewRecruitment�levels�were�high�during�thefirst�half�of�the�year,�especially�within�theautomotive�and�engineering�sectors�due�togrowth�in�these�areas.�This�was�primarily�theresult�of�a�growing�Chinese�economy�and�aninflux�in�foreign�investment�initiatives.�However,hiring�levels�decreased�during�the�second�halfof�the�year�due�to�the�impact�of�the�globaleconomic�slowdown.
We�witnessed�a�significant�demand�for�seniorengineering�professionals�within�the�researchand�development�(R&D)�sector�throughoutthe�year.�With�many�roles�available�withinthis�area,�candidates�were�increasingly�opento�considering�moves�and�typically�lookedto�secure�salary�increments�of�10%�forsenior-level�roles,�7%�for�mid-level�roles�andan�average�of�5%�for�internal�transfers.�Whileorganisations�were�willing�to�pay�for�the�bestcandidates,�they�were�sometimes�restricted�bythe�need�to�keep�costs�low.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�hiring�levels�will�remain�moderatelyhigh�as�businesses�continue�to�implementaggressive�expansion�plans�as�they�seek�toincrease�their�market�share�in�China.
In�particular,�demand�for�research�anddevelopment�professionals�is�expected�tobe�particularly�high.�Automotive�and�energybusinesses�are�likely�to�be�the�most�activerecruiters,�with�many�of�these�employersseeking�senior�level�engineers.
As�organisations�attempt�to�expand�theirglobal�reach,�they�are�likely�to�requirecandidates�with�proficiency�in�English�andstrong�business�acumen.�Nevertheless,�due�tocost-cutting�across�the�industry,�professionalsare�likely�to�receive�modest�salary�incrementsof�7-10%�when�changing�jobs,�and�5%�ifmoving�internally.

Although�we�saw�a�similar�slowdown�ingrowth�in�the�automotive�industry,�continuedinvestment�by�the�Chinese�government�meantrecruitment�continued�in�this�area.�Therefore,senior�marketing�professionals�and�businessdevelopment�managers�were�sought-after�tohelp�organisations�strengthen�and�expandtheir�businesses.
Employers�were�more�stringent�in�their�hiringcriteria�and�typically�sought�candidateswith�strong�management�skills.�As�thehiring�process�lengthened�due�to�the�needfor�approval�from�global�headquarters,professionals�became�less�keen�to�move�roles.Most�professionals�expected�an�incrementof�20%�when�moving�jobs�but�candidateswith�in-demand�skill�sets�such�as�peoplemanagement�and�communication�skills�couldcommand�increases�of�as�much�as�40%.

Market�OverviewSupply�ChainWe�witnessed�a�significant�decrease�in�hiringactivity�during�the�first�half�of�the�year�as�globaleconomic�instability�led�many�supply�chainmanufacturers�to�implement�cost-cuttingmeasures.�However,�job�levels�increased�in�thesecond�half�of�the�year,�particularly�for�firmswithin�the�automotive�industry�as�companiescontinued�to�invest�both�locally�and�acrossthe�region.�Salary�increases�reflected�theconservative�hiring�market�and�remained�in�theregion�of�10-15%.

Although economic growth remained conservative in Hong Kong in 2012, numerous IT, infrastructure and construction projects were implemented during the year, which led to a number of job opportunities being created in the process. In particular, systems and application support professionals, project managers, programmers and system architects were hired.
The financial services sector was impacted by challenging global market conditions and job levels remained relatively low throughout the year. However, there were some encouraging signs in the front office space, where banks sought corporate bankers in trade finance and supply chain, private bankers and sales professionals in the consumer banking and insurance sectors. Retail and tourism-related companies were also impacted by difficult market conditions and a short-term decrease in consumer confidence.
As the local property market stabilises and China’s growth rate remains high, we expect an improvement in Hong Kong’s service-driven sectors during 2013. However, as global economic uncertainty continues, recruitment levels are likely to be relatively low at the start of the year before increasing in quarters three and four. Cost will continue to be a key priority for employers, with existing staff taking on more responsibility as firms seek to keep their operational costs lean. We expect this will impact on companies’ hiring processes, with stringent approval processes put in place and candidates expected to possess the majority of the skill sets required for each role.
Attracting and retaining talent is likely to be a key challenge for employers in 2013. When looking for new opportunities, job seekers will seek stability, a clear career path and a company with projected growth. For their part, employers are likely to offer job rotation opportunities as they seek to keep their best employees.
With profit margins falling in a number of organisations as poor economic performance continues in the US and Europe, we anticipate a marked decrease in annual bonus payouts within the Hong Kong market. However, salary levels are likely to remain consistent for 2013.

Our�dedicated�accounting�&�finance�divisionspecialises�in�placing�candidates�intopermanent�roles�in�the�commercial�sectors�atall�levels�of�seniority.�Recruitment�functionsinclude�accountancy,�tax,�treasury,�financialplanning�and�analysis,�audit,�credit�control�andcompliance.�The�roles�we�recruit�for�includeCFOs,�finance�directors,�financial�controllers,finance�managers,�FP&A�directors/managers,tax�directors/managers�and�internal�auditdirectors/managers.
Market�OverviewWe�saw�relatively�moderate�recruitment�activityin�2012;�employers�were�reluctant�to�hire�andemployees�were�cautious�about�moving.�Thismarket�sentiment�was�a�result�of�broaderglobal�economic�volatility�in�the�Europeanand�US�markets�which�subsequently�affectedChina,�one�of�Hong�Kong’s�major�tradepartners.
However�firms�in�the�growing�retail�sectorcontinued�to�recruit�professionals.�Job�levelswere�also�high�in�the�education�servicessector,�which�sought�talented�employees�tomeet�the�growing�demand�for�internationalschooling.�This�is�a�fast-expanding�area�ofthe�market�due�to�an�increasingly�affluentpopulation.
The�expansion�of�business�processoutsourcing�(BPO)�companies�meantthere�was�an�increase�in�demand�for�keyprofessionals�working�in�this�area.�Companieswere�keen�to�cut�costs�by�outsourcing�backoffices�functions,�such�as�accounting,�ITand�marketing,�to�external�vendors.�Financemanagers,�financial�planning�and�analysismanagers,�tax�and�audit�managers�were�all�indemand�as�a�result.
We�saw�most�demand�at�the�managementlevel,�with�candidates�with�at�least�8years’�experience,�including�two�years�in�amanagement�role�most�sought-after.�Highturnover�level�at�the�mid�to�senior�level�led�to
replacement�hiring�in�this�space,�generatingjob�opportunities�for�professionals�in�theprocess.
Finance�functions�were�increasingly�playingmore�of�a�business�partnering�role.�Specifically,finance�employees�were�expected�to�interactwith�business�managers�as�well�as�producingstandard�reports.�Professionals�were�thereforeexpected�to�have�good�communication�andpresentation�skills.�Employers�were�keen�tohire�finance�professionals�with�commercialand�business�acumen,�who�were�able�tointerpret�finance�jargon�and�be�more�involvedin�business�strategies�and�initiatives.
There�was�a�growing�level�of�interest�frominternational�professionals�to�relocate�to�HongKong�due�to�its�relative�stability�compared�tothe�troubled�Eurozone�and�US�economies.This�was�especially�prevalent�within�thefinance�area.
As�organisations�focused�their�expansionstrategies�in�Asia,�particularly�China,candidates�who�could�speak�Cantonese�orMandarin�had�the�edge.�Professionals�withAsian�experience�were�sought-after�due�totheir�understanding�of�the�local�businessculture�and�in-depth�market�knowledge.
Employees�who�stayed�on�in�their�jobsgenerally�recieved�salary�increments�of�
a�pay�rise�than�incur�the�additional�cost�ofrecruiting.�Professionals�were�cautious�aboutmaking�a�move�and�considered�a�variety�offactors.�Specifically,�they�sought�improvedcareer�prospects,�job�scope�and�seniority.However,�those�who�moved�jobs�typicallyreceived�increments�of�15-18%.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�the�firms�within�the�growing�retail,education�services�and�business�processoutsourcing�sectors�to�expand�and�thereforecontinue�recruiting�accounting�and�financeprofessionals.�Many�multinationals�have�alsoredirected�their�funds�from�the�unpredictableeconomies�in�Europe�and�US�into�the�Asianmarket,�which�is�likely�to�lead�to�a�greaternumber�of�job�opportunities�among�thereemployers.�As�a�result�businesses�will�need�tofocus�on�talent�retention�schemes�to�keep�keyemployees.
Generally,�we�expect�salary�levels�to�remainunchanged�across�all�sectors.�However�due�tothe�shortage�of�candidates�with�both�financemanagement�and�business�partnering�skillsin�the�market,�we�predict�modest�salaryincrements�at�managerial�and�director�levels.
Candidates�are�likely�to�receive�increments�of15-20%�when�they�move�to�a�new�role.�Thekey�challenge�for�most�organisations�will�stillbe�retaining�existing�talent�and�transformingthem�from�a�traditional�finance�and�accountingprofessional�to�more�of�a�business�partner.

Our�financial�services�division�recruitsexperienced�professionals�for�middle�and�backoffice�positions�across�investment�banking,fund�management�and�insurance.
Market�OverviewFinanceDue�to�the�uncertainity�and�risk-aversenessof�the�market�of�2012,�corporate�governancewas�a�key�issue�for�financial�institutions.Risk�and�internal�audit�divisions�increasedheadcount�and�expanded�their�remits.Companies�sought�professionals�in�theseareas�who�were�familiar�with�regulatoryrequirements�and�up-to-date�with�anychanges.�They�were�required�to�ensure�thewhole�front-to-back�process�was�run�in�acontrolled�manner.
Most�of�the�hiring�was�at�middle�managementto�senior�levels.�Apart�from�technical�skills,candidates�needed�to�be�aware�of�the�latestmarket�trends�and�regulatory�changes�dueto�be�implemented�in�the�next�one�or�twoyears.�There�were�more�openings�in�thesecond�half�of�the�year,�which�we�believe�willcontinue�into�2013�and�even�2014.�Across�theboard,�companies�offered�candidates�salaryincrements�of�approximately�10%�to�enticethem�to�move.
GovernanceEmployers�looked�for�candidates�withregulatory�knowledge�and�changemanagement�skills.�Companies�were�keen�tohire�people�who�could�communicate�with�andchallenge�senior�management�and�front�officepersonnel.�This�was�primarily�because�thecorporate�governance�roles�that�were�beingrecruited�for�required�employees�to�control�theregulatory�risks�surrounding�the�execution�ofbusiness�plans�and�strategies.�On�average,corporate�governance�candidates�received�a20%�salary�increment�when�moving�jobs.
Contract�MarketAs�challenging�economic�conditions�ledhiring�managers�to�find�securing�permanentheadcount�increasingly�difficult,�we�sawan�increase�in�interim�and�temporary�hiringthroughout�2012.�There�were�also�initiativesto�move�banking�and�finance�operations�fromHong�Kong�to�cost-saving�offshore�locations,which�further�reduced�permanent�job�levels.
On�the�operations�side,�there�was�a�continuingdemand�for�equity�derivatives�middle�officeprofessionals,�whilst�anti-money�launderingand�know-your-customer�standards�(KYC)candidates�were�being�recruited�in�highnumbers.�With�new�banking�regulationsbeing�implemented,�extra�governance�andcompliance�professionals�were�needed.
However,�the�majority�of�candidates�had�tolower�their�salary�expectations�as�financialservices�firms�sought�to�maintain�or�lowertheir�labour�costs.�In�spite�of�this,�top-tiercontract�candidates�with�a�reputation�forhigh�performance�were�able�to�gain�salaryincreases�of�30%�when�moving,�in�somecases.
Outlook�for�2013In�2013,�we�predict�there�will�be�a�steadydemand�for�corporate�governanceprofessionals,�as�well�as�change�managementand�regulatory�positions.�With�new�bankingregulations�in�the�pipeline�and�systems�andtechnology�projects�to�be�implemented�tosupport�these�changes,�change�managersor�business�analysts�will�be�needed�toensure�all�goes�smoothly.�Many�of�thesecandidates�will�be�highly�qualified�Six�Sigmaprofessionals�with�a�thorough�understandingof�the�front-to-back�office�banking�businessflow�and�processes.
We�expect�that�employers�who�seek�to�attractthe�top�talent�will�offer�salary�increases�ofaround�10%�in�2013.

Our�human�resources�&�business�supportspecialist�division�recruits�for�both�permanentand�contract�placements�across�majorsectors�within�the�commerce�and�industry�andfinancial�services�sectors.�We�recruit�a�rangeof�professionals,�including�compensationand�benefits�specialists,�talent�managementspecialists,�HR�generalists,�recruitmentspecialists,�training�and�developmentprofessionals,�administration�managers,�officemanagers,�personal�assistants�and�teamadministrators.
Market�OverviewHuman�ResourcesJob�levels�remained�high�despite�overallmarket�uncertainty.�Overall,�there�were�morevacancies�than�candidates�and�a�lack�ofprofessionals�available�with�a�proven�trackrecord�in�areas�such�as�compensation�andbenefits,�talent�management�and�businesspartnering.
However,�there�was�high�demand�acrossmost�industries�for�compensation�and�benefitsspecialists.�These�professionals�were�beinghired�to�design�competitive�compensationstructures�as�part�of�talent�retention�plans.HR�business�partners�were�also�sought-afteras�firms�needed�individuals�who�were�able�toadd�value�to�their�businesses,�help�increaseproductivity,�generate�revenue�and�retainkey�talent.�As�banks�grew�their�retail�bankingsectors,�more�human�resources�professionalswere�required�in�this�space�to�support�theirexpansion.
Hiring�activity�was�relatively�high�within�thecommercial�sectors.�In�particular,�we�sawmore�demand�in�the�telecommunications,chemicals,�hi-tech�and�retail�luxury�sectors.�Amajority�of�hires�were�for�replacements,�andemployers�expected�candidates�to�start�theirnew�job�with�minimal�training.�Professionalswith�experience�in�these�industries�weretherefore�sought-after.
Many�multinationals�commercial�organisationsembarked�on�large-scale�HR�transformationprojects,�shifting�to�a�shared�services�model.This�led�to�demand�for�business�partners�toensure�the�smooth�execution�of�projects.
With�highly�sought-after�candidates�receivingmultiple�job�offers,�companies�offeredsalary�increments�to�retain�key�employees.Professionals�changing�jobs�typicallyexpected,�and�received�salary�rises�of20-25%.
Business�SupportRecruitment�activity�in�2012�remained�steadyin�comparison�to�2011.�Following�a�similartrend,�more�people�moved�jobs�towards�theend�of�quarter�one�after�bonuses�were�paidout.�However,�there�was�a�steady�stream�ofreplacement�hiring�throughout�the�year.�Anotable�trend�was�an�influx�of�smaller�hedgefunds�and�foreign�law�firms.�These�businessestypically�sought�office�managers�who�couldtake�on�additional�responsibility�and�assist�withthe�setting�up�of�their�offices.
Organisations�in�the�commercial�sectorsrecruited�in�higher�numbers�than�in�2011with�an�increased�demand�from�law�firms.Retail�luxury,�information�technology�andtelecommunications�businesses,�as�wellas�professional�services�and�media�firmsrecruited�in�large�numbers�as�well.�Thesecompanies�hired�executive�secretaries,personal�assistants�and�receptionists.�Anincreasing�number�of�firms�sought�legalsecretaries�with�audio�typing�skills�and�fluencyin�Mandarin.
Skills�in�demand�included�fluency�in�English,Cantonese�and�Mandarin,�as�well�as�advancedMicrosoft�Office�skills,�calendar�managementand�the�ability�to�manage�complex�travelarrangements.�Employers�were�increasinglydemanding�about�the�personality�of�thecandidate�they�were�considering�recruiting.
Specifically,�they�sought�individuals�who�wouldfit�in�with�the�organisation.
Candidates�were�cautious�about�movingroles�as�many�were�concerned�about�leavingexisting�relatioships�with�their�supervisors.They�were�less�likely�to�move�within�financialservices�firms�because�of�general�economicuncertainty.�Professionals�who�were�seekingnew�roles�motivated�by�a�higher�salary�andthe�seniority�of�the�line�manager�they�wouldbe�working�for.�Business�support�staff�whomade�career�moves�typically�received�a�salaryincrease�of�10-15%.
Outlook�for�2013While�employers�are�likely�to�remain�relativelyreluctant�to�recruit�and�keen�to�keep�budgetslean,�there�will�be�pockets�of�hiring�in�certainareas.�These�will�include�smaller�hedge�fundsor�asset�management�firms�that�considersetting�up�offices�in�Hong�Kong,�especially�ifthe�Eurozone�crisis�continues.�This�will�leadto�demand�for�office�managers�with�set�upexperience.
We�expect�that�HR�business�partners,�talentmanagement�and�compensation�and�benefitsspecialists�will�be�sought-after.�Companies�willbe�keen�to�retain�key�talent�within�a�marketwhere�the�volume�of�vacancies�outstrips�thenumber�of�job�seekers.�Professionals�withthese�niche�skill�sets�are�likely�to�receive�salaryincrements�of�20-25%�when�moving�jobs.
Whilst�recruitment�levels�in�the�commercialsectors�for�business�support�employees�willnot�be�high,�there�should�be�a�steady�streamof�roles�available.�Candidates�changing�jobsare�likely�to�receive�increments�of�10-15%.Overall,�salary�levels�will�remain�stable�or�risemarginally�in�line�with�inflation.

Our�specialist�information�technology�divisionplaces�permanent�and�contract�professionalsfor�both�the�commercial�and�financial�servicessectors.�We�recruit�for�a�comprehensive�rangeof�positions�covering�operations,�projects,engineering,�analysis�and�security.
Market�OverviewFinancial�ServicesRecruitment�levels�were�fairly�low�within�thefinancial�services�sector,�with�employers�onlyhiring�for�critical�positions�to�keep�systemsand�platforms�running.�This�was�driven�byreplacement�hiring�rather�than�new�headcount.
Hiring�activity�was�highest�in�quarter�two�asemployers�became�more�confident�whenthe�market�stabilised�after�Chinese�NewYear�and�banks�released�new�headcountbudgets.�However,�recruitment�levels�dippedtowards�year�end�as�professionals�becamemore�cautious�about�moving,�especially�withbonuses�due�to�be�paid�at�the�start�of�2013.
Business�analysts�and�application�supportand�tactical�developers�at�the�senior�analystto�junior�VP�level�were�in�demand.�Theseroles�typically�required�close�proximity�tothe�business�operations,�therefore�makingthem�difficult�to�offshore.�Professionalswere�expected�to�possess�strong�equitiesknowledge�and�market�access�experience�tofacilitate�faster�order�management�systemsin�the�front�office.�While�candidates�expectedincreases�of�at�least�15%�when�changing�jobs,they�were�more�likely�to�receive�increments�of10%.�This�led�to�challenges�for�employers�inattracting�top�hires.
Commerce�&�IndustryWe�saw�notable�job�levels�in�the�pre-salesdivisions�of�companies.�Firms�in�thetelecommunications,�retail�and�IT�consultancysectors,�as�well�as�vendors�and�systemsintegrators,�hired�actively�as�many�movedtheir�headquarters�to�Hong�Kong�to�helpthem�expand�in�Asia�Pacific�or�China.
Employers�sought�professionals�withexperience�in�data�network,�cloud,�unifiedcommunications/contact�centre�(UC/CC),security,�storage�and�data�centres.
With�retail�businesses�expanding�andperforming�well�in�Hong�Kong,�companieshad�a�larger�budget�for�hiring,�which�waschannelled�towards�upgrading�their�ITsystems.�Therefore�business�analysts�andproject�managers�skilled�in�POS�and�ERPsystems�were�sought-after.�Candidates�wereaware�of�the�talent-driven�Hong�Kong�marketfor�IT�professionals�and�expected�salaryincreases�of�at�least�20-25%�when�movingjobs.
Contract�MarketThere�was�an�increased�reliance�onIT�contractors,�specifically�for�projectmanagement�and�business�analysis�specialistroles.�While�historically�contractor�positionswere�typically�reserved�for�junior�support�ordeveloper�roles,�companies�were�open�tosenior�contract�hires�with�niche�technologyskills�or�industry�knowledge�for�certain�ITprojects.
The�demand�for�more�sophisticated�businessintelligence�capability�led�luxury�retailcompanies�to�hire�candidates�with�skillsin�Cognos,�Hyperion�and�other�businessreporting�tools.�With�consumer�behaviourshowing�a�significant�shift�towards�onlineshopping,�e-commerce�professionals�weresought-after�by�both�retail�firms�and�retailbanks.
Outlook�for�2013Firms�in�the�financial�services�sector�arelikely�to�invest�in�infrastructure�technology,�asrationalisation�in�this�area�has�minimal�impacton�the�day-to-day�operations�of�their�business,but�can�deliver�significant�reductions�inoperating�costs.�This�means�that�professionalslooking�for�roles�in�this�area�will�be�expected�totake�on�more�job�responsibilities.
Business�analysts,�analyst�programmers�andapplication�support�specialists�are�likely�to�bein�demand�as�employees�seek�individuals,to�bridge�the�communication�gap�with�thebusiness�and�their�peers�in�infrastructureteams.�Infrastructure�specialists�will�also�besought-after,�as�employers�seek�innovativecost-saving�solutions.
Job�seekers�are�always�attracted�by�theprospect�of�career�development,�whilestability�is�also�likely�to�be�important�in�2013.Employers�will�need�to�invest�in�their�staff�tocreate�a�talent�pipeline,�upgrade�their�skillsand�keep�them�engaged�with�new�projectsand�initiatives.
We�predict�candidates�will�seek�incrementsof�20-25%�when�changing�roles.�Although,employers�are�more�likely�to�offer�rises�ofaround�10-15%.�For�candidates�staying�withintheir�existing�positions,�a�year-on-year�pay�riseof�5%�is�a�realistic�figure.
Demand�for�contractors�is�likely�to�continue,particulary�within�aviation.�This�is�due�toairlines�currently�upgrading�their�technologyand�infrastructure.�As�a�result,�projectmanagers,�business�analysts,�datawarehousing�and�business�intelligencewill�be�in�demand�next�year.�As�the�globaleconomic�outlook�remains�uncertain,�financialservices�sectors�(e.g.�retail�banking)�willalso�seek�candidates�as�they�favour�a�moreflexible�headcount�and�seek�to�reduce�theircommitment�to�full-time�staff.

Our�legal�&�compliance�division�in�Hong�Kongspecialises�in�the�permanent�and�contractplacement�of�qualified�law�professionalsand�compliance-skilled�individuals�acrossinternational�firms,�financial�institutions�andmultinational�corporations.
Market�OverviewIn-House�Financial�ServicesHiring�levels�were�relatively�low�within�financialservices�firms.�Employers�recruited�mainlyfor�business-critical�positions,�such�as�fundslawyers�and�private�wealth�complianceprofessionals�within�debt�capital�markets,derivatives�and�general�banking.�However,there�were�higher�levels�of�recruitment�activityon�the�buy�side,�in�areas�such�as�assetmanagement,�private�wealth�and�private�equityorganisations.
There�was�high�demand�for�private�equitylawyers,�both�upstream�and�downstream,�aswell�as�for�general�funds�lawyers.�Derivativesknowledge�was�highly�sought-after,�especiallywithin�equities�as�this�is�the�key�focus�intrading�businesses.�Organisations�in�theinsurance�sector�continued�to�hire,�particularlycorporate/commercial�lawyers�with�regulatoryexperience�to�ensure�compliance�with�existingpolicies.�Professionals�moving�jobs�typicallyreceived�salary�increments�of�10-15%�whileindividuals�who�stayed�in�their�exisitng�typicallyrecieved�raises�of�5-10%.
In-House�Commerce�&�IndustryAfter�a�cautious�first�half�of�2012,�recruitmentactivity�increased�during�the�second�halfof�the�year�in�sectors�such�as�healthcare,luxury�retail,�hospitality,�property�andentertainment.�Employers�were�keen�to�recruitcorporate/commercial�lawyers�with�at�least3�-�5�years’�PQE�and�fluent�in�English�andMandarin,�as�well�as�previous�work�experiencein�China.�This�was�especially�noticeable�inthe�retail,�fashion�and�property�developmentsectors,�which�had�significant�expansion�planstargeting�China�in�early�2013.
There�was�notable�demand�for�employmentlawyers�within�HR�teams.�While�these�rolestraditionally�sat�within�legal�teams,�employerssought�in-house�lawyers�for�their�HR�teamsdue�to�increasing�employment�regulations.Candidates�who�continued�in�their�existingroles�received�a�5-10%�salary�increment�whilethose�moving�jobs�typically�received�increasesof�10-15%.
Private�PracticeJob�levels�were�relatively�low�in�the�first�half�ofthe�year�due�to�the�economic�slowdown.�Inthe�second�half,�law�firms�became�increasinglycautious.�While�firms�would�often�interviewnumerous�candidates,�they�would�only�appointan�individual�who�met�all�their�hiring�criteria.However,�firms�still�recruited�for�key�practiceareas,�such�as�corporate�finance,�mergers�andacquisitions�(M&A)�and�commercial�litigationmaintaining�a�strong�focus�on�mid�to�seniorlevel�hires.
Firms�were�keen�to�recruit�senior�associatesor�partners�with�a�strong�book�of�business.Professionals�who�stayed�in�their�exisitngjobs�typically�recieved�increases�of�5-10%,while�those�moving�positions�received10-15%.�However,�professionals�moving�frominternational�law�firms�to�US�law�firms�couldrecieve�rises�of�up�to�20-25%.
ComplianceThere�was�an�increase�in�demand�forcompliance�professionals�in�the�second�half�of2012,�with�high�levels�of�new�and�replacementhires�in�the�majority�of�Asian�banks�andinsurance�firms.�Professionals�specialisingin�general�compliance,�private�wealthmanagement�and�anti-money�laundering(AML)�were�highly�sought-after.�Most�banksstruggled�to�hire�suitable�candidates�in�theequity�space,�as�there�was�a�shortage�of�talentequipped�with�these�niche�skills�sets.
Investment�banks�expanded�their�internaland�external�fraud�investigation�units�as�they
faced�stricter�regulations�and�we�saw�notabledemand�in�this�area.�Candidates�who�movedjobs�typically�recieved�salary�incrementsof�20%�when�doing�so.�By�comparison,professionals�who�remained�in�their�exisitngroles�typically�recieved�pay�rises�of�5-10%during�2013.
Outlook�for�2013In�general,�recruitment�activity�is�likely�toremain�fairly�consistent�with�2012.�As�a�result,we�expect�hiring�levels�will�remain�relatively�lowfor�in-house�legal�professionals�specialising�infinancial�services,�as�this�sector�continues�tobe�affected�by�the�broader�global�economicuncertainty.
There�is�likely�to�be�an�increase�in�hiring�incorporate�finance/M&A,�commercial�litigation,shipping�and�employment�law�as�theseareas�continue�to�grow�and�expand.�Wealso�predict�strong�job�levels�on�the�buyside,�within�private�equity�and�hedge�funds.Many�financial�institutions�will�bolster�theirwealth�management�divisions�by�recruitingexperienced�wealth�management/privateclient�lawyers�due�to�the�increased�numberof�high�net-worth�investors,�especially�fromChina.�With�an�increasing�volume�of�regulationgoverning�the�financial�services�industry,demand�for�skilled�compliance�officers�willremain�high.
The�luxury�retail�and�pharmaceuticalsectors�are�likely�to�seek�intellectualproperty�(IP)�specialists,�brand�protection,anti-counterfeiting�and�contract�managers.New�US�and�international�law�firms�arecontinuing�to�set�up�offices�in�Hong�Kong,and�they�are�likely�to�target�key�hires�at�thepartner�level.�They�will�be�looking�for�seniorprofessionals�who�can�bring�with�them�astrong�book�of�business�to�develop�theirpractices�as�well�as�facilitate�team�moves.Generally,�we�expect�salary�levels�will�remainunchanged�compared�to�2012.

Our�supply�chain,�logistics�&�procurementdivision�specialises�in�placing�professionalsacross�a�variety�of�disciplines�includingbusiness�development,�sales�and�accountmanagement,�demand�and�supply�planning,logistics,�sourcing�and�procurement,�andquality�assurance.�We�recruit�for�multinationalcorporations�and�other�dynamic�companiesacross�corporate�services,�real�estate,�thirdparty�logistics�and�financial�services.
Market�OverviewLogistics�&�Supply�ChainRecruitment�levels�were�relatively�highthroughout�2012�with�a�notable�rise�in�bothnew�and�replacement�positions.�Sourcingand�merchandising�professionals�werehighly�sought-after�as�companies�focusedon�growing�their�market�share�in�China.Merchandising�managers�and�garmenttechnicians�were�recruited�for�entry�and�middlemanagement�level�roles,�while�companies�alsorecruited�professionals�for�head�of�sourcingand�logistics�to�lead�teams.
In�a�candidate-short�market,�employers�wereopen�to�considering�professionals�from�otherparts�of�Asia�who�were�able�to�take�on�aregional�portfolio.�Candidates�who�movedjobs�generally�asked�for�a�20%�salary�rise.However,�most�typically�recieved�10-15%when�doing�so.�By�comparison,�professionalswho�stayed�in�their�existing�roles�receivedincreases�of�below�10%.
Sourcing�&�MerchandisingIn�the�first�half�of�the�year,�most�recruitmentwas�for�replacement�hires,�before�job�levelsrose�during�the�second�half�of�the�year.Growth�in�the�retail�sector�in�China�drovedemand�for�sourcing�and�merchandisingprofessionals.�This�increase�in�demand�wasalso�the�result�of�a�desire�by�retail�companiesto�base�their�sourcing�headquarters�in�HongKong�so�they�could�be�closer�to�their�productbases�in�China,�Vietnam�and�Bangladesh.
Garment�technical�managers�were�recruited�inlarge�numbers,�as�were�senior�level�sourcingand�merchandising�professionals.�Companieswere�particularly�keen�to�hire�senior�sourcingcandidates�with�in-house�US�or�Europeanmarket�exposure,�as�these�are�sizeabletrading�markets�for�Hong�Kong.�Generalmerchandising�managers�and�directors�werealso�in�demand�to�help�plan�and�executebusiness�advancement�strategies.�Manycandidates�received�an�increment�of�15%when�changing�jobs,�with�the�who�were�mostin�demand�skill�sets�could�potentially�receive18-20%.
ProcurementHiring�levels�remained�steady�throughout�theyear.�This�was�due�to�several�organisationsin�the�financial�services�sector�expandingtheir�operations�in�Hong�Kong,�which�ledto�an�increase�in�demand�for�procurementprofessionals�at�the�managerial�to�AVP�level.These�candidates�were�sought-after�asbusinesses�centralised�their�procurementprocess,�tightened�their�vendor�list�and�soughtto�improve�efficiency.
The�highest�job�levels�were�in�organisations�inthe�technology,�telecommunications,�humanresources�and�travel�sectors.�Professionalsmoving�jobs�in�these�sectors�received�salaryincreases�of�up�to�20%�when�doing�so.
Outlook�for�2013As�China’s�consumer�spend�continues�to�rise,and�as�an�increasing�number�of�Europeanbrands�look�to�expand�in�Asia,�more�sourcingbases�are�likely�to�be�established�in�HongKong.�This�will�mean�there�will�be�continueddemand�for�professionals�to�form�teams�atthese�headquarters.�With�some�high�fashionbrands�preparing�to�launch�luxury�sportswearlines,�job�seekers�with�sportswear�sourcingexperience�will�therefore�be�particularlysought-after.
Logistics�and�supply�chain�professionals�arelikely�to�consider�offers�very�carefully�beforemoving�companies.�Company�reputation,as�well�as�the�salary�on�offer,�are�likelyto�be�the�largest�influencing�factors.�Weexpect�that�companies�will�continue�torecruit�merchandising,�sourcing�and�logisticsmanagers�due�to�the�business-critical�natureof�these�positions.
Firms�within�the�procurement�sector�arepreparing�to�drive�growth�across�Asia�byalso�using�Hong�Kong�as�a�central�base,which�will�create�a�greater�number�of�jobopportunities.�While�the�banking�and�financialservices�sector�is�likely�to�hire�only�in�modestvolumes,�recruitment�levels�could�potentiallyincrease�later�in�the�year.�Organisations�in�thefinancial�services�sector�are�likely�to�be�opento�candidates�from�a�variety�of�sectors.
We�expect�salary�levels�to�increase�by�5-10%for�staff�staying�with�their�exisitng�employers,with�businesses�replying�more�on�trainingand�internal�transfer�opportunities,�to�retaintalent.�Professionals�moving�jobs�are�likelyto�continue�to�receive�increases�of�10-15%when�doing�so.

Market�OverviewJob�levels�in�the�first�half�of�2012�were�lowerthan�originally�anticipated;�this�was�due�to�thecontinued�market�uncertainty�globally�and�aslowdown�of�the�Chinese�economy.�However,hiring�levels�increased�in�the�second�half�ofthe�year�as�large�construction�projects�wererolled�out�across�the�corporate�market�inChina.�In�the�tail�end�of�the�last�quarter,�manyfirms�adopted�a�more�cautious�recruitmentapproach�to�hiring�as�they�tightened�theirbudgets�and�looked�to�reduce�headcount.
Throughout�2012,�we�saw�most�demandat�the�mid�to�senior�level,�with�technicalproject�management,�architecture,property�development,�leasing�and�retailoperations�expertise�particularly�sought-after.Specifically,�organisations�sought�projectmanagers/directors,�architects�and�leasingmanagers�to�work�on�new�projects�in�China’sTier�2�and�Tier�3�cities.�However,�mostcandidates�were�not�keen�to�relocate�to�theseremote�provinces.
Professionals�who�were�willing�to�travelfrequently�were�preferred�by�hiring�businesses,especially�for�regional�roles�based�in�China.Candidates�with�strong�language�skills�werealso�highly�sought-after.�Professionals�withregional�managerial�experience�typicallyexpected�salary�increments�of�around10-20%,�which�was�on�par�with�2011.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�strong�projected�growth�in�theChinese�market,�we�anticipate�increasedrecruitment�activity�in�2013.�Project�managers,architectural�designers,�surveyors�andconstruction�engineers�are�likely�to�bemost�sought-after�across�the�property�andconstruction�sector.�Many�believe�that�theseroles�will�see�more�activity�in�the�early�part�of2013�as�there�will�be�a�high�supply�of�qualifiedcandidates�in�the�following�Chinese�New�Year.
Salary�increases�will�depend�on�seniority,with�senior�candidates�typically�expectingrises�of�15-25%�when�moving�jobscompared�to�10-15%�at�the�more�juniorlevel.�These�increments�will�be�offered�bycompanies�looking�to�attract�the�top�talent.By�comparison,�professionals�remainingin�their�existing�roles�are�likely�to�receive�ayear-on-year�increase�of�around�5-10%.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013
Ind
on
ESIAIndonesia has a population of approximately 275 million people and an economy that is growing at 6% annually. The government has been able to stem inflation with specially designed policies, creating an environment for further economic growth. Additionally, with a growing middle class possessing higher disposable incomes, Indonesia has become one of the largest and rapidly growing emerging markets in the world.
This burgeoning middle class were a significant driving force behind increasing domestic consumption, which led to further growth within the FMCG, healthcare and medical services sectors. As a result, there was a rise in sales and marketing job opportunities to meet the increasing demand from this demographic.
The country also remains an attractive destination for businesses as it continues to internationalise and evolve. Its ability to remain resilient amid an uncertain global economic climate made it a prime location for foreign investment, which in turn further fuelled domestic industry growth.
The jobs market remained candidate-short in certain areas, such as banking and financial services, as well as human resources. This could potentially threaten companies’ future growth plans as they compete for a finite pool of professionals.
2013 is likely to be an interesting year full of challenges and opportunities for the Indonesia recruitment market. Companies across various industries are looking to expand and grow their business and talented professionals are therefore likely to be in demand across all sectors, causing a further squeeze on the number of qualified and experienced professionals. With such intense competition for the best candidates, employers will need to focus on their talent retention strategies and/or offer more competitive packages to ensure they keep their key employees.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013

nDue to continued economic uncertainty both domestically and abroad, employers in Japan generally focused on reducing costs in 2012. Many firms consolidated business functions by moving transactional accounting and operations positions offshore to more cost- effective locations, streamlining procedures or increasing the use of vendors and professional contractors. In particular, some companies increased their use of technology vendors and contract professionals on a per-project basis, while others brought legal functions in-house.
However, this consolidation and restructuring created some demand for more strategically-focused positions. For example, companies sought bilingual financial planning and analysis professionals due to their ability to forecast conditions and help firms better manage future costs. Supply chain and procurement professionals were also required to take on planning responsibilities (in addition to their typical purchasing duties) as employers sought to reduce costs through improved inventory management.
During 2012, we saw an increase in the number of Japanese firms expanding abroad due to the relatively high value of the yen and slower domestic consumption. This created an increase in new opportunities for local professionals to work overseas and develop regional responsibilities. Within the manufacturing sector, Tokyo and Kansai-based companies moved some of their facilities abroad or employed vendor firms as they sought to reduce costs. As a result, we saw increased demand for professionals who could coordinate production overseas and integrate vendors into their businesses. This trend was also evident in the online and commercial sectors, where firms sought jobseekers with experience in leading foreign-based teams for development projects.
While market-rate salary averages remained stable in most job disciplines, professionals expected modest increases when moving roles because of the continued demand for experienced, bilingual professionals. However, many candidates remained reluctant to move because of uncertain market conditions.
We expect both hiring and salary levels to remain consistent in 2013 as employers seek to control costs by consolidating their business functions. However, professionals with strategic skill sets will continue to be sought-after. As firms seek candidates capable of facilitating their cost-reduction efforts, bilingual professionals with experience managing overseas facilities, back-office teams or vendors will be in the highest demand.

The�Robert�Walters�financial�servicesaccounting�&�audit�team�specialises�inrecruiting�exceptional�accounting�and�audittalent�on�both�a�permanent�and�contractbasis.�We�recruit�for�banking,�securities,real�estate,�asset�management,�insurance,consumer�finance�and�private�equity�firms.
Market�OverviewThroughout�2012,�banks�and�securities�firmsprimarily�focused�on�hiring�internal�auditorsand�product�controllers�as�employers�soughtto�improve�their�internal�control�policies�inresponse�to�increased�scrutiny�from�Japanesefinancial�regulatory�bodies.
However,�there�was�an�ever-increasingpressure�from�head�office�to�limit�headcountacross�most�functions�and�banks�remainedfocused�on�cost-cutting�rather�thanexpansion.�As�a�result,�the�majority�of�hireswere�replacement�rather�than�growth�focused.New�hiring�within�banking�and�securities�firmsslowed�as�accounting�functions�continuedto�be�offshored.�Offshoring�meant�thatfirms�moved�transactional�functions�tomore�cost-effective�locations�in�Asia�andretained�positions�in�Japan�that�required�clientinteractions.
Insurance�firms�were�the�most�active�recruitersin�the�financial�services�sector,�primarilydue�to�the�high�number�of�acquisitions�thatoccurred�over�the�last�18�months.�As�theseemployers�continued�to�restructure,�realignand�amalgamate�a�variety�of�business�units,this�resulted�in�steady�demand�for�audit,financial�accounting,�Sarbanes-Oxley�(SOX)and�actuarial�specialists.�As�a�significantvolume�of�these�changes�involved�moreinteraction�with�head�offices,�bilingual�skillswere�necessary�for�the�majority�of�thesepositions.
While�recruitment�in�the�real�estate�industryhas�remained�relatively�quiet�over�the�lastcouple�of�years,�we�saw�an�increase�in�foreign
investment�into�this�area�of�the�Japanesemarket�towards�the�end�of�2012.�This�led�toa�slight�increase�in�demand�for�finance�andspecial�purpose�company�(SPC)�accountants.
To�reduce�overall�staffing�costs,�localprofessionals�were�hired�to�replace�costlierexpatriate�workers.�Firms�also�soughtjunior�and�mid-level�candidates�with�lowersalary�expectations�when�replacing�seniorprofessionals�through�attrition.�These�trendsresulted�in�more�active�candidates�withfinancial�sector�experience,�particularly�at�thesenior�level.
Salaries�generally�remained�consistent�as�awhole�with�job�seekers�primarily�motivatedby�stability�and�career�progression.�In�somecases,�we�also�saw�candidates�preparedto�accept�a�reduced�salary�in�exchange�forimproved�work-life�balance.
ContractProfessionals�became�more�open�tocontracting�during�2012�due�to�the�lackof�permanent�opportunities.�Financialfirms�recruited�contract�professionals�toadd�headcount�flexibility�as�restructuringand�off-shoring�continued�for�permanentaccounting�and�audit�functions.�Some�foreignnationals�sought�contract�opportunities�asa�way�to�remain�in�Tokyo�and�stay�withinthe�financial�industry.�In�addition�to�ensuringcontinued�employment,�these�temporarypositions�often�offered�candidates�theopportunity�to�gain�experience�in�otherindustries.
Overall,�contract�job�levels�remained�moderatedue�to�a�notable�volume�of�project-basedwork�as�firms�responded�to�changes�infinancial�regulations.�Rates�largely�remainconsistent,�however,�we�continued�to�see�apremium�being�paid�for�the�limited�number�ofbilingual�control�staff�with�experience�in�profitand�loss�calculation�for�financial�products.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�banking�and�securities�firmswill�remain�relatively�cautious�in�their�hiringapproaches�going�into�2013�due�to�continueduncertainty�in�the�European�and�US�markets.However,�we�expect�a�continual�demand�foraudit�and�internal�control�professionals�dueto�the�ongoing�scrutiny�these�businesses�arefacing�from�Japanese�regulatory�bodies.�As�aresult,�professionals�with�strong�experience�inthese�areas�will�be�highly�sought-after.
As�domestic�firms�seek�to�expand�overseas,we�expect�greater�demand�for�bilingual,internationally�experienced�accountants.However,�there�remains�a�shortage�of�theseprofessionals�in�the�market.�As�a�result,employers�will�need�to�offer�above-marketcompensation�to�attract�these�candidates.

Many�Japanese�firms�were�increasinglyseeking�their�finance�staff�to�act�as�businesspartners,�a�tendency�more�common�inWestern-styled�companies.�As�a�result,businesses�focused�on�recruiting�financeprofessionals�with�strong�interpersonalcommunication�skills�able�to�work�closely�withfront�office�sales�and�marketing�teams.�Thispreference�for�business�partners�was�mostprevalent�in�rapidly�growing�industries�suchas�the�pharmaceutical�and�medical�devices.We�also�saw�some�demand�from�firms�utilisingany�type�of�online�marketing,�which�soughtbusiness�analysts�to�track�the�effectiveness�ofcampaigns.
After�a�sustained�period�of�limited�activity,�wesaw�significant�demand�for�tax�specialists,rimarily�driven�by�an�increase�in�the�numberand�complexity�of�tax�laws.
Some�consumer�businesses�recruitedtrilingual�finance�professionals,�which
was�a�recent�trend�that�developed�in�themarket.�These�candidates�were�typicallybased�in�Japan�and�required�to�workclosely�with�Chinese�businesses�and�otheroverseas�offices.�However,�companies�wereincreasingly�prepared�to�consider�Chinesecandidates�for�these�vacancies�due�to�a�lackof�sufficiently-skilled�Japanese�professionalswith�Mandarin�ability.�In�general,�the�poolof�candidates�in�this�area�proved�extremelylimited�and�we�expect�this�to�remain�achallenge�for�companies�in�2013.
Manufacturers�sought�cost�accountants�at�alllevels�with�direct�sector�experience.�However,few�candidates�now�possess�these�skills�dueto�many�manufacturing�sites�being�shiftedoverseas.�Many�professionals�were�alsounwilling�to�move�to�manufacturing�facilitiesas�these�were�generally�located�outside�of�themain�cities�in�Japan,�which�further�limited�thenumber�of�potential�candidates.
The�volume�of�job-seekers�increasedslightly�as�ongoing�restructuring�withinlarge�accounting�firms�led�more�financeprofessionals�to�seek�new�roles.�Thegradual�decline�in�transactional�accountingopportunities�has�led�younger�candidatesto�seek�FP&A�experience.�As�a�result,�weanticipate�an�increase�in�job�seekers�withthese�skills.

Market�OverviewOperationsAs�financial�firms�concentrated�on�cost-cuttingand�restructuring�in�2012,�the�majority�of�hiringwas�replacement�rather�than�growth-focused.With�headcount�limited�in�most�institutionsand�firms�seeking�to�maximise�the�resourcesthey�had�available,�we�saw�a�number�lookingto�up-skill�their�teams�by�replacing�poorperformers�with�new�hires.
In�line�with�these�challenging�marketconditions,�firms�continued�consolidatingtheir�operations�functions�throughout�theyear�limiting�recruitment�demand.�We�saw�acontinued�focus�on�offshoring�and�a�numberof�institutions�relocated�middle�office,�tradesupport�and�settlement�positions�to�morecost-effective�locations,�such�as�Hong�Kongand�Singapore,�by�quarters�three�and�four.
Companies�also�continued�to�automate�thesefunctions�by�improving�the�efficiency�of�labourintensive�processes�with�software.�This�trendreduced�the�staffing�resources�required�forsupport�processes�and�slowed�recruitmentdemand�for�these�functions.

The�majority�of�operations�salaries�remainedconsistent.�However,�some�job�seekerswith�in�demand�experience�such�as�in�risk,received�increases�of�up�to�10%�when�movingjobs.�While�remuneration�remained�a�keyconsideration,�candidates�were�primarilyattracted�to�job�and�company�stability.�Forexample,�firms�that�had�seemingly�completedtheir�offshoring�activity�were�more�appealing�tojob�seekers�for�this�reason.
ContractDue�to�the�limited�number�of�permanentvacancies�available�as�operations�functionswere�moved�offshore,�job-seekers�becamemore�interested�in�contract�roles.�Withcontinued�pressure�on�costs,�however,contract�hiring�volumes�generally�remainedstatic.�Where�there�was�demand,�firmsfocused�on�hiring�bilingual�professionals�withstrong�experience�in�cash�or�derivatives�forfixed�income�products�to�assist�with�typicalday-to-day�operational�needs.
Outlook�for�2013Most�financial�companies�are�expectedto�have�completed�the�majority�of�theiroff-shoring�of�operation-related�positions�bythe�end�of�2012.�However,�firms�are�likelyto�continue�to�adopt�a�cautious�approachto�hiring�as�no�dramatic�improvementin�the�global�finance�environment�isanticipated�for�the�New�Year.�Accordingly,we�expect�the�majority�of�recruitment�tobe�replacement-focused�hiring.�Bilingualcandidates�with�3�-�5�years’�operationsexperience�will�remain�in�demand�as�acontinuing�emphasis�on�cost-cutting�will�limitthe�number�of�senior�hires.
Instead�of�salary�increases,�job�seekers�will�bemore�attracted�by�stability�and�future�careerprogression.�Given�market�conditions,�we
expect�minimal�increases�in�market�rates�forboth�permanent�and�contract�positions.

Our�HR,�general�affairs�and�administrationteam�provides�permanent�and�contract�staffingsolutions�from�entry�to�director-level�positionsfor�both�Japanese�and�foreign�multinationalcompanies.�We�cover�a�variety�of�roles�fromteam�leaders,�generalists�and�businesspartners�to�compensation�and�benefits,recruitment,�payroll,�executive�secretaries�andsupport�professionals.
Human�ResourcesMarket�OverviewBusinesses�steadily�hired�HR�professionalsinvolved�with�day-to-day�operations�in�2012to�support�business�growth.�However,multinational�organisations�continued�theirfocus�on�hiring�experienced�HR�businesspartners�to�integrate�their�Japan�offices�intolarge-scale�global�structures.�Expandingpharmaceutical,�online�and�manufacturingcompanies�sought�senior�HR�businesspartners�to�integrate�staff�hierarchy�structures,consolidate�benefits�systems�and�suggestareas�to�reduce�costs.
Firms�also�increasingly�outsourced�payrollfunctions�in�2012�to�reduce�costs.�Businessessought�C&B�professionals�and�payrollspecialists�to�assist�with�this�activity�as�theyfocused�on�improving�internal�processes�andintegrating�vendor�services�into�the�business.
With�employers�scrutinising�costs,�general�HRsalary�levels�remained�stable.�However,�juniorHR�professionals�typically�received�increasesof�5-10%�when�moving�jobs.
ContractDemand�for�HR�contractors�remained�strongthroughout�2012,�particularly�in�the�online,retail�and�IT�sectors.�While�companies�typicallysought�professionals�with�strategic�HRexperience,�skills�shortages�led�many�toinstead�focus�their�recruitment�on�immediateday-to-day�HR�requirements.�As�a�result,many�firms�waited�in�order�to�secure�thestrongest�candidate�available.
Due�to�growth�in�the�IT�sector,�most�contractordemand�was�for�newly-created�positions�suchas�recruiters�and�HR�specialists.�However,many�employers�hired�contractors�to�coverworkloads�on�a�temporary�basis.�Contractorstypically�preferred�temporary-to-permanentopportunities�as�they�sought�longer-termemployment.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�businesses�will�continueoutsourcing�their�payroll�and�social�insurancefunctions�to�vendor�companies�to�reducecosts.�This�is�likely�to�increase�demand�forHR�professionals�with�project�managementexperience�and�a�background�of�integratingvendor�services�into�a�company.
As�employers�continue�to�restructure�andglobalise�their�internal�processes,�firms�willincreasingly�hire�for�roles�with�cross-regionalresponsibilities�and�bilinguals�who�canliaise�with�regional�head�offices.�IntegratingJapanese�hubs�into�a�multinational�network�islikely�to�more�closely�align�local�salary�bracketswith�global�standards.�With�the�yen�remainingstrong,�salaries�may�fall�as�a�result�of�thisrestructuring.
General�Affairs�&�AdministrationMarket�OverviewRecruitment�demand�for�administrativeand�support�positions�was�quiet�in�2012.Companies�restructured�their�teams�andsought�to�save�costs�by�replacing�experiencedprofessionals�with�more�junior�staff.�As�aresult,�the�number�of�mature�job�seekersincreased�in�2012.
This�focus�on�cost�also�led�executive�andteam�secretary�job�levels�to�fall�as�manyemployers�restricted�secretarial�support�forsenior�executives.�At�multinational�companies,secretaries�were�usually�required�to�supportforeign�executives�and�performed�notonly�typical�administrative�duties�but�alsotranslation�and�interpreting�tasks.�However,
the�market�remained�short�of�candidates�withmulti-language�speaking�abilities�and�IT�skills.
Due�to�relatively�limited�budget�foradministrative�hiring,�salaries�remainedconsistent�with�2012.�Most�job�seekersfocused�on�stability�when�considering�newopportunities,�however,�professionals�whochanged�jobs�received�increases�of�up�to�5%.
ContractWe�saw�a�slight�increase�in�contract�job�levelsas�businesses�became�more�hesitant�tocommit�to�permanent�headcount�and�favouredthe�flexibility�offered�by�contractors.�A�lack�ofsuitably-qualified�bilingual�candidates�seekingroles�also�led�to�an�increase�in�the�volume�ofcontractors�being�offered�permanent�positionswhen�headcount�became�available.
The�2011�Information�Security�Act�continuedto�require�finance�companies�to�recruit�directcontract�workers�rather�than�short-termtemporary�staff�-�primarily�to�ensure�privateinformation�was�handled�appropriately.�As�aresult,�we�saw�an�increase�in�the�volume�offixed�term�placements.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�job�levels�to�remain�consistentin�2013�and�multi-lingual�professionals�tobe�in�demand.�English�language�ability�willbe�sought-after�as�Japanese�firms�continueto�globalise�their�operations�and�overseasreporting�lines�become�more�common.
Trilingual�executive�secretaries�with�fluencyin�Mandarin�will�also�be�extremely�in�demandas�business�with�China�increases.�Asrestructuring�activity�continues,�the�volumeof�support�professionals�actively�seeking�newjobs�is�likely�to�remain�high.

Our�IT�finance�team�places�IT�professionalsinto�permanent�and�temporary�positions�withinthe�financial�services�sector,�in�institutionsincluding�investment�banking,�brokerage,asset�management,�wealth�management,�realestate,�insurance,�retail�banking,�corporatebanking�and�financial�system�vendor�firms.
Market�OverviewOverall�IT�job�levels�within�the�financialservices�sector�remained�relatively�low,though�recruitment�did�occur�in�some�areas.In�particular,�IT�professionals�were�hired�tosupport�banks�in�their�efforts�to�comply�withnew�regulatory�standards.
Investment�banks�recruited�more�activelythan�other�finance�sectors�and�created�newopenings�for�bilingual�IT�auditors,�IT�riskmanagers�and�IT�governance�professionalsat�vice-president�level�or�above.�Firmssought�bilingual�IT�professionals�who�couldinteract�with�Japanese�regulatory�authoritiesand�colleagues�overseas.�However,�theseprofessionals�were�in�short�supply�in�themarket.�Accordingly,�in�demand�functions,such�as�technology�audit�professionals,�wereespecially�sought-after�and�typically�receivedsalary�increases�of�10-15%�when�moving�jobs.
Outside�of�regulatory-focused�positions,�mostrecruitment�within�the�investment�bankingsector�was�typically�on�a�replacement�basis-�as�a�result,�we�saw�demand�for�applicationsupport�engineers,�front�office�developers�andbusiness�analysts.�These�IT�professionals�thatmoved�into�new�companies�typically�receiveduplifts�up�to�5%.�Conversely,�salaries�for�UNIXand�database�administrators�decreased,sometimes�as�much�as�25%,�because�oflimited�demand�and�a�gradual�downgradingfor�these�positions�when�they�becameavailable�to�reduce�costs.
A�number�of�investment�banks�sought�tooffshore�and�outsource�some�technologypositions�to�Singapore�and�Hong�Kong
as�a�cost-reduction�measure.�As�a�result,recruitment�declined�for�technical�functionsthat�required�minimal�interaction�with�the�localbusiness.�This�was�particularly�the�case�formany�technical�development�and�infrastructureroles,�many�of�which�were�transferred�tovendor�companies.
With�insurance�companies�also�buildingnew�compliance�and�governance�teams,IT�professionals�with�regulatory�experiencewere�in�demand�within�these�employers.�Mostdemand�was�for�mid�to�management-levelproject�managers�and�business�analystswith�extensive�experience�of�developing�andimplementing�governance�strategies.
ContractContract�job�levels�in�the�first�half�of�the�yearwere�high.�This�was�partly�due�to�a�numberof�IT�projects�following�the�Japanese�fiscalyear,�meaning�many�were�either�due�to�becompleted�in�March�or�were�launched�in�April.However,�firms�continued�to�focus�purely�onbusiness-critical�recruitment�with�the�majorityof�demand�for�business�analysts�and�projectmanagers�with�strong�business�partneringexperience.
However,�recruitment�levels�decreasedsignificantly�in�the�second�half�of�the�year�asmany�companies�outsourced�or�offshoredtheir�IT�departments.�During�this�period,�thevolume�and�quality�of�contractors�seeking�newjobs�was�high.�As�a�result,�firms�up-skilledpermanent�staff�with�more�strongly�qualifiedcontractors.
Outlook�for�2013The�IT�jobs�market�is�likely�to�remainchallenging�within�financial�services�in�2013as�investment�banks�continue�moving�theirtechnical�functions�offshore�or�to�vendorcompanies.�Most�recruitment�will�be�on�areplacement�basis�and�where�they�are�hiring,employers�will�seek�strong�business�acumencombined�with�the�required�technical�ability.
However,�the�IT�recruitment�market�within�theinsurance�sector�is�likely�to�be�more�active.In�particular,�we�anticipate�increased�demandfrom�insurance�businesses�providing�theirservices�online�due�to�cheaper�infrastructurecosts.�As�a�result,�technologists�withexperience�in�web�marketing,�e-business�ande-commerce�will�be�highly�sought-after�in�thisspace.�Despite�this�activity,�salary�offers�foradministrators�and�developers�are�expectedto�decline�in�2013�as�firms�seek�to�reducebusiness�spending�for�back-office�functions.

Market�OverviewAs�commercial�firms�continued�to�outsourceand�offshore�IT�functions�throughout2012,�the�majority�of�recruitment�was�forstrategic-focused�positions.

ContractWhile�contract�recruitment�levels�generallyremained�consistent�in�2012,�demand�for�webspecialists�increased�slightly�due�to�improvedbusiness�activity�in�this�area.�Specifically,online�companies�recruited�web�specialists,SEO�and�SEM�professionals.�Overall�candidatevolumes�increased�due�to�fewer�contractopportunities�being�available�in�the�financialservices�sector.

The�IT�online�team�specialises�in�therecruitment�of�IT�professionals�on�a�permanentand�contract�basis.�Within�the�online�spacewe�service�e-commerce,�SNS,�social�gaming,web�advertising�and�internet-focusedcompanies.
Market�OverviewOnline�recruitment�levels�remained�highin�2012.�Japanese�mobile�gaming�firmscontinued�their�push�into�Asia�and�the�UnitedStates,�which�drove�IT�recruitment�in�the�onlinesector.
The�majority�of�demand�was�for�hands-ondevelopers�such�as�software�engineers�andweb�application�developers�to�assist�with�thetechnical�application�development.�Largerfirms�recruited�project�managers�to�coordinatedevelopment�teams�based�both�locally�andabroad.�However,�due�to�a�shortage�ofprofessionals�with�industry�experience,�theseemployers�instead�hired�candidates�fromalternative�industry�backgrounds�for�theseroles.
We�also�saw�notable�activity�within�thee-commerce�sector�as�firms�sought�toincrease�their�web�and�mobile�presence.With�the�majority�of�development�roles�withinmultinational�companies�stationed�overseas,maintenance,�localisation�and�customersupport�professionals�were�most�sought-after.
We�saw�significant�demand�for�contractorsin�2012.�Specifically,�mobile�and�onlinegaming�companies�recruited�project-baseddevelopers�to�ensure�projects�were�completedon�schedule.�As�a�result�of�relatively�high�joblevels,�we�saw�a�growing�interest�among�ITprofessionals�working�in�the�financial�servicessector�to�join�online�firms.
Despite�notable�demand�in�these�specificareas,�salaries�generally�remained�stable.However,�we�did�see�increases�for�someprofessionals,�who�changed�companies.�Inparticular,�contract�rates�for�bilingual�contractprofessionals�with�gaming�industry�experienceincreased�by�5-10%�because�of�strongindustry�growth.
However,�salary�offers�for�databaseadministrators�and�network�engineers�notablydecreased,�especially�for�those�positionsworking�with�traditional�infrastructure�systems.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�growing�smartphone�usage�and�thecomparatively�low�cost�in�starting�a�mobilegaming�business,�we�expect�a�greater�numberof�venture�firms�to�enter�the�Japanese�onlinemarket�in�2013.�We�anticipate�these�firmswill�hire�developers�with�the�ability�to�adaptto�new�programming�languages�for�multipleplatforms.�However,�due�to�large�hiringvolumes�and�strong�interest�with�working�inthe�online�sector,�salaries�and�contract�ratesare�expected�to�remain�flat�or�slightly�decreasefor�some�functions.

Our�IT�vendor�team�specialises�in�recruitingfor�firms�providing�technology�productsand�solutions.�We�place�professionals�ona�permanent�and�contract�basis�acrossa�number�of�technology-related�sectorsincluding�hardware,�software,�consulting,telecommunications�and�mobile.
Market�OverviewWe�witnessed�strong�demand�for�vendorfirms�in�2012�as�many�companies�sought�toreduce�costs�by�outsourcing�their�technologyfunctions.
Big�data�providers�recruited�particularlyactively�as�more�of�these�businessesentered�the�Japanese�market�in�line�withgrowing�global�use�of�these�services.�Bothestablished�global�firms�and�small�start-upenterprises�looked�to�gain�market�share�in�thisunderdeveloped�space.�These�companiespredominantly�recruited�presales�professionalsto�prepare�their�products�for�the�marketand�educate�potential�clients�as�to�theirvalue.�More�established�big�data�companiestypically�sought�systems�engineers�to�developand�maintain�their�existing�processes�andinfrastructure.
Following�the�2011�earthquake,�manybusinesses�either�relied�on�cloud�servicesto�recover�their�data�or�looked�to�implementthese�systems�to�safeguard�themselvesagainst�future�disasters.�As�a�result,�cloudcomputing�providers�were�active�in�therecruitment�market.�Companies�werealso�investing�in�software�as�a�service(SaaS),�specifically,�customer�relationshipmanagement�(CRM)�software,�because�of�theextra�convenience�and�improved�efficiency�itoffered.�This�led�to�increased�job�levels�withinthese�businesses.
Both�cloud�computing�and�SaaS�serviceproviders�recruited�professionals�incustomer-facing�positions,�which�led�toincreased�demand�for�‘solution’�consultants
involved�in�the�presales�process.�Systemsengineers�specialised�in�cloud�services�werealso�in�demand�to�develop�and�maintain�theirservice�offerings.�However,�due�to�the�marketbeing�candidate�short�in�this�area,�employersoften�considered�engineers�from�infrastructurebackgrounds�with�the�intention�of�retrainingthese�professionals�in�cloud�technologies.
The�relatively�recent�emergence�of�all�thesetechnologies�meant�that�the�supply�ofprofessionals�experienced�in�big�data,�cloudtechnologies�and�SaaS�was�extremely�limited.Solution�consultants�in�particular�were�inshort�supply�given�the�technical�expertise�andcustomer�service�ability�required�for�thesepositions.�As�a�result,�companies�struggled�tofind�experienced�workers�in�2012.
While�some�in�demand�pre-sales�engineersreceived�salary�increases,�most�technologyvendor�salaries�remained�consistent�with2011�levels.�Individuals�moving�roles�oftenreceived�a�modest�salary�rise�providingtheir�new�position�incorporated�additionalresponsibilities.�Due�to�professionalsbecoming�increasingly�interested�in�cloudand�big�data�services,�firms�were�typicallyprepared�to�bide�their�time�to�find�candidatesthat�‘ticked�every�box’�rather�than�rushing�to�filleach�position�they�were�recruiting�for.
ContractUse�of�service�providers�grew�in�2012�ascompanies�focused�on�reducing�costs.Due�to�a�shortage�of�professionals�withrelevant�sector�experience�seeking�permanentopenings,�businesses�instead�soughtcontractors�with�more�general�industryexperience�to�ensure�projects�were�completedon�schedule.
Competition�for�business�amongst�vendorfirms�was�intense,�which�led�to�many�loweringtheir�bids�to�win�technology�contracts.�As�aresult,�contractor�rates�decreased.�Despitejob�levels�rising�for�infrastructure�engineers,
server�support�professionals�and�networkadministrators,�rates�for�these�professionalsfell�by�10-15%.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�the�jobs�market�to�remainconsistent�in�2013,�meaning�big�data�andcloud�service�providers�will�continue�tohire.�Demand�is�likely�to�persist�for�presalesprofessionals�and�systems�engineers,�creatingslight�upward�pressure�on�salaries.�Firmsmore�advanced�in�their�sales�cycle�will�beginfocusing�on�implementing�their�technologyservices�-�as�a�result,�these�business�arelikely�to�recruit�for�consultants,�projectsmanagers�and�systems�engineers�experiencedin�technology�implementation.
Sales�force�automation�is�another�technologythat�is�anticipated�to�grow�in�2013.�Companiesare�expected�to�increase�demand�forsmartphone�and�touch�panel�software�toimprove�the�efficiency�of�their�sales�process.To�develop�these�automation�products,�vendorfirms�will�recruit�engineers�with�experience�inSaaS.
We�expect�IT�professionals�to�become�moreopen�to�opportunities�in�vendor�companiesdue�to�fewer�jobs�being�available�in�othersectors,�such�as�financial�services.�As�a�result,contractor�rates�are�likely�to�stabilise�in�2013.

Our�legal,�compliance�&�risk�team�recruitsacross�all�industries.�We�cover�a�wide�range�ofjob�functions,�from�in-house�general�counseland�legal�roles�and�private�practice�legalpositions�(including�documentation�specialists)to�compliance�professionals�and�market,�creditand�quantitative�risk�analysis�specialists.
Market�OverviewMost�companies�were�relatively�cautiousin�their�legal,�compliance�and�risk�hiring,with�the�majority�focusing�on�reducing�costsdue�to�challenging�market�conditions.�Asa�result,�recruitment�was�predominantlyreplacement�rather�than�growth-focused.However,�some�pharmaceuticals,�online�andgaming�businesses�bucked�this�trend�asthey�established�in-house�legal�functions�tosupport�wider�growth�plans.�Salaries�remainedgenerally�stable,�though�some�in-houselegal�professionals�received�pay�cuts�asmultinational�firms�remodelled�pay�brackets�toconform�to�global�standards.
Legal�-�In-houseMultinational�firms�focused�on�integratingJapanese�branches�into�global�networksto�streamline�legal�functions�across�theirbusinesses.�As�part�of�this�restructuringactivity,�employers�began�to�remodel�paybrackets�to�ensure�global�consistency.�Forsome�Japanese�professionals,�this�resulted�insalary�cuts.�This�led�to�employers�becomingless�flexible�with�salary�offers�for�new�hires,particularly�at�the�senior�level.
Instead�of�relying�on�external�law�firms,some�companies�sought�to�move�theirlegal�functions�in-house�to�support�growthplans�while�at�the�same�time�reducingoverall�costs.�As�a�result,�hiring�activity�forin-house�functions�increased�across�numerousindustries.�Specifically,�online,�pharmaceuticaland�financial�firms�all�sought�mid-level�qualifiedlawyers�to�support�these�transitions�as�analternative�to�retaining�private�advisors.
Legal�-�Private�PracticeAs�firms�brought�their�legal�work�in-housein�2012,�this�created�a�highly�competitivemarket�for�private�practice�firms,�whichdecreased�recruitment�demand.�Because�ofthis�trend�and�the�easing�of�local�examinationstandards,�we�saw�an�increase�in�the�numberof�Japanese-qualified�lawyers�entering�thelabour�pool.�However,�highly�sought-aftercandidates�that�possessed�bilingual�languageability�remained�uncommon.
Nonetheless,�we�did�find�some�jobsbecome�available.�For�example,�energysector-specialised�lawyers�were�in�demandas�firms�sought�to�bolster�their�project�financeand�energy,�oil�and�infrastructure�practices.These�firms�recruited�bilingual�lawyers�withfinancing�legal�experience�due�to�increasedinvestment�in�energy�and�infrastructureprojects�within�China,�Malaysia�and�Indonesia.Client�companies�tasked�lawyers�to�sourcelocal�partners�and�funding�for�entering�newmarkets.
ComplianceWithin�the�compliance�jobs�market,�mostrecruitment�was�on�a�replacement�ratherthan�growth-focused�basis�and�generalhiring�levels�remained�low�throughout�2012.However,�increased�regulatory�scrutiny(specifically�around�Dodd-Frank)�led�to�somenew�roles�being�released�within�both�securitiesfirms�and�investment�banks.�Additionally,securities�firms�created�new�openings�for�legalprofessionals�with�internal�audit�and�internalcontrol�experience�as�they�sought�to�enhancetheir�compliance�testing�functions.�Salariesslightly�decreased�in�line�with�cost-cuttingefforts�in�the�financial�sector.
Credit�Market�&�RiskFewer�market�transactions�and�limitedcandidate�movement�led�to�relatively�littlerecruitment�demand�within�the�credit�andmarket�risk�space.�Some�growing�onlineservices�and�software�companies�sought
in-house�credit�risk�professionals.�However,recruitment�in�financial�firms�was�quiet�andrestricted�to�attrition-based�replacement�hiring.Candidates�remained�cautious�and�weregenerally�hesitant�to�move�roles�due�to�limitedjob�opportunities�as�many�companies�movedmore�operational�tasks�offshore�to�save�costs.
Outlook�for�2013With�companies�continuing�to�shift�legalfunctions�in-house,�we�expect�the�hiring�ofgeneral�counsels�to�remain�active.�The�growthof�cloud�computing�should�increase�demandfor�in-house�legal�professionals,�both�qualifiedand�unqualified,�with�knowledge�of�this�space.Lawyers�with�industry�experience�in�othergrowth�sectors,�such�as�mobile�gaming,�willbe�highly�sought-after,�which�is�likely�to�leadthese�professionals�to�receive�a�premium.

• Chemical• Consumer�&�retail• Financial�services• Healthcare• Industrial• Information�technology• Online
ChemicalMarket�OverviewDemand�for�marketers�in�the�chemicalsector�increased�significantly�in�the�first�halfof�2012�before�falling�in�quarter�three�dueto�weakening�global�conditions.�However,overall�job�levels�remained�relatively�high�dueto�a�consistent�requirement�among�thesebusinesses�for�bilingual�engineers.
Due�to�increased�consumption�withindeveloping�Asian�countries,�we�saw�notablegrowth�within�agrochemical�companies�in2012.�Manufacturers�in�this�area�recruitedbilingual�account�managers�and�engineerswith�strong�technical�backgrounds�to�sell�anddevelop�agrochemicals,�especially�to�foodand�beverage�production�companies�in�thesemarkets.
With�Japan�remaining�one�of�the�largest�globalmarkets�for�cosmetics�and�toiletries,�we�alsosaw�consistent�demand�within�the�consumerproduct�chemicals�sector.�These�businessestypically�sought�technical�engineers�to�developand�localise�their�products�for�Japaneseconsumers.
Most�professionals�who�changed�companiestypically�received�salary�increases�of
between�5-15%.�In�demand�technical�salesprofessionals�with�specific�niche�knowledge,such�as�speciality�chemicals,�often�receiveda�premium.�Competition�among�hiringbusinesses�for�bilingual�professionals�withindustry�experience�was�intense,�with�thesecandidates�typically�receiving�two�to�three�joboffers.
Outlook�for�2013Although�we�expect�recruitment�levelsto�fall�slightly�in�2013,�overall�job�levelswill�remain�high�following�an�encouraging2012.�Companies�will�continue�to�seektechnically-skilled�engineers�from�chemicalbackgrounds�with�significant�developmentpotential�to�support�future�growth.
As�they�continue�their�push�into�globalmarkets,�Japanese�companies�will�seekbilingual�professionals�across�all�functions.With�many�concentrating�on�the�BRICsmarket,�these�firms�are�likely�to�recruitprofessionals�locally�to�work�in�these�countriesbut�-�during�the�course�of�their�employment�-train�them�up�in�Japan.
Consumer�&�RetailMarket�OverviewDue�to�renewed�consumer�and�retailspending,�we�saw�increased�demand�for�salesand�marketing�professionals�in�these�sectors.Candidates�also�became�more�confidentin�their�job�searches�following�the�2011earthquake�and�sought�new�opportunities.This�movement�created�a�large�volume�ofopenings.�New�multinational�retail�companiesentering�the�Japanese�market�in�2012�alsocreated�new�roles�for�professionals�in�thissector.
Retailers�continued�to�focus�on�attractingcustomers�in�outlets�based�in�train�stationcomplexes�and�large�shopping�centres(as�opposed�to�department�stores)�in2012.�In�particular,�fast�fashion�and�luxurygoods�companies�opened�new�stores
and�developed�retail�lines�as�they�targetedsuburban�customers�frequenting�theselarge�shopping�centres.�To�support�thisstrategy,�companies�recruited�retail�managersand�sales�professionals�to�staff�these�newdevelopments.
Because�of�the�significant�volumes�of�jobopportunities�available,�companies�facedstrong�competition�for�the�best�talent.�Anumber�of�professionals�received�multiplejob�offers�and�attractive�salary�increases�tochange�roles.�However,�market�rates�acrossthe�sector�remained�consistent�with�2012levels.
Outlook�for�2013Recruitment�activity�is�expected�to�remainstrong�in�2013�because�of�active�consumerspending.�As�multinational�consumercompanies�continue�to�incorporate�Japan�intotheir�global�networks�in�2013�to�streamlinetheir�businesses,�we�anticipate�increaseddemand�for�bilingual�professionals.
In�particular,�we�expect�growth�in�the�fastmoving�consumer�goods�(FMCG)�sector�dueto�continued�demand�for�Japanese-developedproducts�globally.�These�businesses�will�seekbilingual�product�and�brand�managers�andmarketing�consultants�to�help�develop�regionalstrategies.
The�majority�of�salary�levels�will�remainconsistent�in�2013.�Due�to�significantcompetition�among�hiring�businesses�for�thebest�talent,�employers�will�be�required�to�offercompetitive�remuneration�packages�and�clearcareer�progression�opportunities�to�secure�thehighest-calibre�professionals�available.

As�a�result,�hiring�levels�during�this�period�havebeen�low.
However,�we�saw�increased�desire�amongmarketing�professionals�to�move�companiesas�candidates�sought�either�improved�stabilityor�to�progress�their�careers.�As�a�result,we�saw�a�renewed�interest�in�roles�outsidethe�investment�banking�sector,�in�growingbusinesses�such�as�insurance�and�real�estate.
The�majority�of�demand�was�for�bilingualmarketing�professionals�at�the�junior�levelable�to�provide�general�support�for�existingsenior�staff.�Firms�were�typically�keen�to�hireprofessionals�with�the�capability�and�potentialto�move�into�a�more�senior�role�within�thefollowing�12�to�18�months.�Firms�looked�toadd�communications�and�PR�positions�inorder�to�communicate�to�internal�stakeholdersand�provide�information�externally�throughpress�releases.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�financial�services�job�levelswill�remain�consistent�over�the�next�12�monthsafter�companies�consolidated�their�marketingand�communication�functions�in�2012.�Weexpect�limited�demand�for�senior�marketingprofessionals�with�companies�mostly�recruitingjunior�bilingual�candidates�as�they�seekto�control�overall�salary�costs.�Employerswill�primarily�look�for�individuals�who�canadd�value�across�a�variety�of�disciplines�-from�communication�to�corporate�socialresponsibility�-�to�ensure�they�gain�maximumvalue�from�their�marketing�teams.
HealthcareMarket�OverviewSales�and�marketing�job�levels�within�thehealthcare�sector�remained�high�throughout2012.�In�particular,�government�regulationsconcerning�medical�devices�led�to�consistentlyhigh�demand�for�experienced�regulatoryaffairs�and�quality�assurance�professionals.However,�competition�for�the�best�candidates
remained�intense�due�to�an�acute�shortage�ofprofessionals�with�sought-after�education�andqualifications.�Interestingly,�more�multinationalmedical�device�companies�entered�theJapanese�market�in�2012�which�increaseddemand�for�regulatory�specialists�and�furtherstrained�the�candidate�pool.
Ahead�of�a�number�of�drug�patents�expiringin�2014,�businesses�in�Japan’s�brandedpharmaceutical�sector�faced�growingpressure�to�maintain�market�share.�Thisled�manufacturers�to�look�to�develop�newdrugs�and�strengthen�the�brands�of�theirexisting�products.�As�they�anticipated�strongcompetition�from�generics�manufacturers,firms�typically�sought�bilingual�marketers�toimprove�product�recognition.
To�reduce�the�costs�of�developing�newdrugs,�many�pharmaceutical�firms�employedcontract�research�organisations�(CRO)�toconduct�global�trials.�As�a�result,�professionalswith�bilingual�language-speaking�abilityand�experience�of�managing�these�serviceproviders�were�in�demand�in�2012.
Salary�levels�remained�fairly�consistent,although�professionals�moving�roles�couldtypically�expect�to�receive�increases�of�up�to10%.�However,�most�job�seekers�were�moreattracted�to�a�business�with�a�strong�andstable�pipeline�of�potential�products.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�the�underdevelopment�of�Japan’sgeneric�drugs�market,�we�expect�the�numberof�manufacturers�entering�the�market�togrow.�This�movement�-�combined�with�themass�drug�patent�expirations�due�in�2014�-is�likely�to�lead�to�increased�demand�for�salesprofessionals�and�marketers�in�all�areas.
However,�we�predict�possible�restructuringand�acquisitions�in�the�brandedpharmaceutical�sector�as�these�firms�producefewer�new�drugs.�As�a�result,�the�number�of
professionals�seeking�new�roles�within�genericmanufacturing�companies�is�likely�to�increase.
IndustrialMarket�OverviewDue�to�challenging�market�conditionsacross�China,�Europe�and�the�US,�industrialcompanies�were�cautious�in�their�hiringapproaches�in�2012.�However,�growth�in�greenenergy�technologies�led�to�increased�hiringactivity�in�some�areas.
In�particular,�Japanese�automotive�suppliersrecruited�engineers�and�project�managers�todevelop�technologies�for�electric�and�hybridvehicles�as�they�sought�to�compete�withcheaper�manufacturers�based�elsewhere�inAsia.�As�these�roles�often�required�managingcheaper�manufacturing�facilities�overseas,bilingual�ability�was�a�pre-requisite.
We�also�saw�notable�demand�within�the�solarenergy�sector.�As�more�Chinese�companiesentered�the�Japanese�market�in�this�area,the�volume�of�vacancies�requiring�technicalexpertise�rose.�A�shortage�of�qualifiedworkers�with�energy�experience,�however,meant�energy�companies�were�typicallymore�prepared�to�consider�females�andprofessionals�from�overseas�than�otherindustrial�businesses.
Due�to�the�relatively�high�value�of�the�yen,international�firms�were�typically�less�willingto�be�flexible�in�their�salary�offers.�However,professionals�typically�received�increases�of�upto�15%�when�moving�jobs.
Outlook�for�2013Due�to�challenging�market�conditions�inJapan,�industrial�companies�are�likely�toremain�cautious�in�their�hiring�approachesin�2013.�However,�Japanese�companieswill�continue�to�seek�to�expand�overseasinto�new�markets.�As�a�result,�demand�forbilingual�sales�professionals�and�engineersshould�continue�at�the�junior�level�as�industrial

Information�TechnologyMarket�OverviewWhile�consolidation�in�larger�technologyfirms�led�to�reduced�hiring�activity,�we�sawincreased�demand�from�small�to�mediumenterprises�(SME)�after�some�of�thesecompanies�entered�the�Japan�market�duringthe�first�half�of�the�year.�However,�the�bulk�ofrecruitment�activity�came�from�established,mid-sized�companies�trying�to�compete�formarket�share.
After�hiring�sales�professionals�in�volumeduring�2010�and�2011,�IT�companiesinstead�focused�on�recruiting�for�morestrategy-focused�positions�in�2012�as�theysought�to�improve�the�competitiveness�oftheir�sales�forces.�Professionals�with�marketanalysis,�business�development�and�salestraining�experience�were�particularly�indemand.
As�demand�for�cloud�services�grew,�wesaw�increased�recruitment�demand�fromnetwork�security�companies�for�product�salesprofessionals.�This�trend�also�led�data�centresand�networking�businesses�to�seek�solutionssales�professionals.
Professionals�could�typically�expect�to�receivesalary�increases�of�around�10%�when�movingjobs.�Those�moving�from�a�Japanese�toforeign�company�generally�received�thehighest�rises�because�of�notable�differencesin�pay�brackets�for�professionals�at�similarlevels�of�seniority.�Foreign�firms�also�tended�tooffer�incentive-based�options�and�emphasisedcommission�payments.
Outlook�for�2013Large�IT�companies�will�continue�bothglobalising�and�streamlining�their�businessesto�grow�profits�and�reduce�costs.�As�a�resultof�these�processes,�we�expect�firms�to�createpositions�with�greater�responsibilities�-�suchas�sales�professionals�responsible�for�multipleAPAC�markets.
We�also�expect�the�number�of�job�seekerslooking�to�enter�the�big�data�and�cloud�sectorto�rise�because�of�growing�interest�in�workingwith�these�new�technologies.�More�foreignbig�data�companies�are�anticipated�to�enterthe�Japan�market�in�2013,�which�will�increasedemand�for�sales�and�marketing�professionals.
OnlineMarket�OverviewAs�organisations�across�all�sectors�soughtto�develop�their�online�presence,�hiringlevels�within�companies�providing�theseservices�were�relatively�high�in�2012.�Whentheir�businesses�developed�and�matured,online�firms�began�to�seek�professionals�withspecialised�online�marketing�or�social�mediaexperience�after�previously�hiring�generalists.
In�particular,�we�saw�an�increase�innewly-created�jobs�within�online�gamingcompanies�as�these�businesses�soughtto�grow�market�share�locally�and�expandinto�overseas�markets.�Demand�for�webadvertising�sales�managers�increased�ascompanies�looked�to�generate�new�revenuestreams.�Due�to�the�shortage�of�candidateswith�specific�industry�experience�in�this�area,firms�recruited�professionals�from�internetadvertising�agencies�with�ad�sales�experienceinto�these�positions.
With�a�relatively�high�number�of�jobopportunities�in�the�online�space,�high-calibreprofessionals�typically�received�two�tothree�job�offers.�Because�of�this,�sales�andmarketing�professionals�received�salaryincreases�of�up�to�10%�on�average�when
changing�jobs�with�some�also�being�offeredadditional�incentives�such�as�sign-on�bonusesor�stock�options.
Outlook�for�2013More�companies,�such�as�those�in�theretail�sector,�will�focus�on�integrating�mobiletechnologies�as�a�progression�of�their�onlinepresence�in�2013.�As�a�result,�this�will�createfurther�demand�for�product�marketingmanagers�able�to�facilitate�the�transition�fromPC�to�mobile�sites.

Robert�Walters�Osaka�recruits�at�all�levelsfor�a�range�of�employers,�from�start-upsand�medium-sized�enterprises�to�blue-chipmultinational�corporations.
Accounting�&�FinanceMarket�OverviewAccounting�and�finance�recruitment�in�Kansaiwas�low�in�2012.�Multinational�firms�continuedto�streamline�transactional�accountingactivities�offshore�as�a�cost�reductionmeasure.�As�a�result,�we�saw�little�demand�forprofessionals�at�this�level.
However,�we�did�witness�some�hiring�byindustrial�manufacturers�for�cost�accountantsand�financial�reporting�specialists�to�assist�ona�strategic�basis.�Business�planning�skills�wereparticularly�in�demand�for�these�roles�as�morecompanies�evaluated�the�viability�of�movingtheir�production�arms�to�cheaper�marketssuch�as�China.�These�positions�often�reportedinto�headquarters�based�overseas�and�wererequired�to�coordinate�with�foreign�jointventures,�so�bilingual�language�abilities�werealso�sought-after.�Because�these�professionalswere�in�short�supply�within�the�Kansai�region,they�were�able�to�command�a�premium�whenchanging�companies.
Bilingual�financial�analysts�were�also�insignificant�demand�as�companies�preparedto�implement�international�financial�reportingstandards�(IFRS).�Businesses�typically�soughtprofessionals�with�strong�forecasting�abilitiesand�financial�reporting�skills�when�hiring�forthese�roles.�However,�this�remained�a�skillshort�area.
Outlook�for�2013Accountancy�and�finance�job�levels�are�likelyto�remain�low�due�to�continued�caution�amongmanufacturers�caused�by�market�slowdown�inboth�China�and�Europe.�However,�Japanesecompanies’�continued�focus�on�internationalexpansion�is�likely�to�lead�to�demand�forbilingual,�globally-experienced�professionals.�In
particular,�analysts�who�can�influence�businessstrategy�and�liaise�with�local�regulatoryauthorities�are�likely�to�be�sought-after.
Human�Resources�&�LegalMarket�OverviewWe�saw�little�demand�for�HR�and�legalprofessionals�during�2012.�Because�of�this,candidates�were�generally�hesitant�to�explorenew�opportunities.
However,�we�did�see�some�demand�forbilingual�professionals�as�they�prepared�forinternational�expansion.�Specifically,�firmsfocused�on�hiring�strategically-minded�HRgeneralists�who�had�experience�of�managinginternational�HR�functions.
To�support�international�expansion,�somemultinational�IT�firms�and�internationalmanufacturers�created�new�in-house�legalpositions.�These�companies�recruited�junior�tomanager-level�legal�professionals�to�managethe�contracts�of�their�global�subsidiaries.Overall,�firms�found�appointing�in-house�staffmore�cost�effective�than�outsourcing�the�workto�private�practice�firms.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�HR�recruitment�levels�to�remainsteady�in�2012,�with�demand�continuingin�specific�areas.�Growing�links�betweenJapanese�and�Chinese�businesses�will�lead�todemand�for�professionals�with�trilingual�abilityin�English,�Japanese�and�Mandarin,�whilecompanies�performing�outbound�acquisitionsare�likely�to�seek�strategically-mindedHR�individuals�to�integrate�staff�hierarchystructures�and�consolidate�compensation�andbenefits�programmes.�We�expect�reducedstreamlining�activity�in�2013�after�many�firmscompleted�these�transformation�initiatives�lastyear.
Information�TechnologyMarket�OverviewSmall�to�medium�enterprises�(SMEs)�andstart-up�venture�businesses�drove�the�majorityof�recruitment�demand�in�the�IT�sector�due�togrowth�within�these�employers.
To�reduce�costs,�businesses�looked�tooutsource�their�development�functions.�Asa�result,�many�sought�bilingual�professionalswith�technical�ability�to�manage�vendors,�whilesome�IT�companies�specifically�looked�to�hiresoftware�engineers�to�lead�development�teamslocated�offshore.
Due�to�a�talent�shortage,�firms�were�preparedto�be�flexible�in�their�salary�offers�compared�toother�industries.�Consequently,�professionalstypically�received�increases�of�5-10%�whenmoving�jobs.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�technology�recruitment�willremain�low,�though�some�pockets�of�hiringwill�exist.�Growing�sectors,�such�as�healthcarefirms�based�in�Kansai,�will�invest�in�theirtechnology�infrastructure�to�support�businessgrowth�activity�in�2013.�These�businesses�arelikely�to�seek�strategic�planners�as�they�lookto�reduce�costs�and�upgrade�systems,�suchas�customer�relationship�management�(CRM)software.�Businesses�and�vendors�from�theUnited�States�are�likely�to�seek�to�tap�into�thismarket,�which�should�result�in�some�new�rolesbeing�created.

In�a�further�effort�to�maximise�efficiencies,industrial�companies�were�also�increasinglytaking�advantage�of�the�services�offered�byoriginal�equipment�manufacturers�(OEMs).�Tomanage�these�overseas�vendors,�companiescreated�new�openings�for�sales�engineerswho�could�understand�the�technical�aspect�oftheir�products�and�sell�to�customers�in�Japan,whilst�dealing�with�the�overseas�OEMs.�Inmany�cases,�the�need�for�Japanese,�Englishand�the�ability�to�speak�Chinese�or�other�Asianlanguages�such�as�Thai,�became�increasinglycommon.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�large�Japanese�industrialfirms�will�continue�to�utilise�services�offered�byOEMs�and�offshore�vendors�as�they�seek�tofurther�reduce�costs.�As�a�result,�we�expectincreased�demand�for�English�speakingsales�engineer�professionals�who�are�ableto�focus�on�new�business�acquisition�aswell�as�managing�existing�clients.�For�theseroles,�firms�are�likely�to�be�flexible�on�specificindustry�experience�due�to�talent�shortages.

SIAAs the government implemented plans to increase foreign direct investment, a growing number of multinationals started to regard Malaysia as a key location in the Asian market. Consequently, more international companies chose to move to or establish operations in the country, which subsequently generated job opportunities for HR, IT, finance and accounting specialists at the mid to senior level.
The healthcare, manufacturing, oil and gas and FMCG sectors grew steadily in 2012, which led to a rise in vacancies within some businesses operating in these areas. For example, sales and marketing professionals (e.g. trade marketers and consumer insight specialists) were sought-after by companies within the FMCG and healthcare industries due to growing consumer spend levels.
With supply chain, procurement and logistics businesses remaining cautiously optimistic, we also saw some hiring in this area. In particular, manufacturing companies recruited supply chain planners and procurement and logistics professionals as they sought to improve internal controls and maximise efficiencies.
However, companies operating in Malaysia were not completely shielded from global economic conditions and cost-cutting remained a priority for many. In particular, banking and financial services firms continued to be conservative in their hiring.
With professionals drawn by higher salaries, better career prospects and the opportunity of regional exposure offered by other countries in the region, loss of talent continued to pose significant challenges for employers in Malaysia. In response, companies began to implement improved staff retention strategies, creating subsequent demand for HR professionals specialising in talent development and compensation and benefits.
Employers were also more open to considering international candidates due to a lack of sufficiently-skilled talent in the local market. This was particularly prevalent in the IT and accounting job markets. However, as the oil and gas industry continued to grow, we saw high demand for local or returnee Malaysians with geo-sciences experience as companies became less reliant on expatriate talent in this area.
Although the financial services industry in Malaysia is fairly insulated, banks and financial services firms are likely to adopt an extra cautious approach to hiring in 2013. Critical revenue-generating front office hires will continue and the tightening of controls will lead to an increase in demand for compliance and risk specialists. However, we expect firms in the healthcare, manufacturing, oil and gas and FMCG sectors to remain relatively active in the jobs market.

Our�banking�&�financial�services�divisionhas�established�teams�which�specialise�inrecruiting�for�front,�middle�and�back�officefunctions.�The�front�office�division�recruitsfor�the�consumer�banking�(retail�and�wealthmanagement),�corporate�and�investmentbanking,�Islamic�banking,�fund�management,capital�markets,�private�equity�and�venturecapital�sectors.
Market�OverviewJob�levels�remained�moderate�throughout�theyear�as�most�financial�services�organisationsin�Malaysia�sought�to�maintain�their‘business-as-usual’�approaches.�Employerswere�relatively�cautious�due�to�broaderglobal�economic�uncertainty�and�recruitmentprocesses�were�often�delayed�as�internationalbanks�were�forced�to�gain�additional�levels�ofapproval�for�new�headcount.
This�was�most�pronounced�within�theinvestment�banking�sector,�where�wesaw�a�reduction�in�hiring�levels.�However,experienced�debt�capital�market�professionalswere�still�in�demand�as�banks�looked�todiversify�their�sources�of�funds�and�tap�into�aninternational�network�of�investors.
Most�local�banks�and�some�internationalfinancial�services�firms�hired�corporate�andcommercial�banking�relationship�managersto�manage�institutional�clients.�Banks�alsorecruited�actively�into�their�consumer�bankingunits�due�to�changes�in�the�banking�sector�-such�as�companies�growing�their�fee-basedincomes�from�net-interest�income�and�theintroduction�of�new�products�(e.g.�privateretirement�scheme�(PRS)).�In�particular,experienced�wealth�managers�with�at�least4�-�8�years’�experience�were�especiallysought-after�to�generate�revenue.
There�was�a�resurgence�in�demand�withinthe�transaction�banking�sector,�particularlyfor�cash�management�sales�and�trademanagement�professionals.�This�was�driven
by�new�banking�strategies�that�focused�ongrowing�fee-based�income.
General�salary�levels�rose�by�4-7%�for�frontoffice�professionals�who�performed�andmet�expectations�of�their�roles.�However,employees�who�were�unable�to�achieve�theirkey�performance�index�received�a�lowerpercentage.�Due�to�notable�competition�forthe�best�talent,�however,�professionals�whomoved�jobs�typically�received�increments�of15-25%�when�doing�so.
Outlook�for�2013While�Malaysia�is�relatively�insulated�fromthe�uncertainty�in�the�global�economy,�manyfirms�are�still�wary�about�how�it�will�impact�thelocal�market.�Companies�will�continue�to�hirekey�talent,�particularly�professionals�who�areable�to�help�them�generate�revenue,�such�asconsumer,�commercial�or�corporate�bankingspecialists.
Transaction�banking�specialists,�particularlythose�with�cash�management�and�tradefinance�knowledge,�are�likely�to�besought-after�as�banks�shape�their�strategiesto�grow�liabilities�instead�of�assets.�Theconsumer�banking�area�has�strong�growthpotential�and�experienced�wealth�managerswill�always�be�in�demand�as�banks�attemptto�sell�more�products�to�meet�the�changingneeds�of�high�net-worth�clients�and�grow�theirfee-based�income.
General�front�office�salary�levels�are�likely�torise�4-7%�year-on-year,�with�premiums�likelyfor�professionals�who�can�meet�their�salestargets.�For�example,�private�bankers�at�theAVP�level�will�command�permanent�salariesof�RM176�-�276k�in�2013�(up�from�RM160�-260k�in�2012)�due�to�their�revenue-generatingability.
For�similar�reasons,�candidates�at�the�AVP�toVP�level�-�particularly�debt�capital�markets,trade�sales,�cash/treasury�sales�specialists
and�commercial�and�priority�banking�-�arelikely�to�receive�increments�of�15-25%�whenmoving�jobs�due�to�the�intense�competition�fortalent.

Market�OverviewProfessionals�with�‘Big�4’,�Basel�II,�IFRS,�SixSigma�and/or�business�analysis�experiencewere�highly�sought-after�due�to�tighteningregulatory�controls�in�the�first�half�ofthe�year.�Within�the�governance�space,Shariah-focused�compliance�specialists�werein�demand.
Additionally,�there�was�an�increase�inquantitative�and�analytical�roles�as�banksneeded�market�risk�professionals�to�assessrisk.�As�institutions�became�more�aggressivein�expanding�their�regional�headcount,�projectmanagers�who�could�lead�centralisationand�integration�initiatives�were�also�highlysought-after
Overall,�professionals�remained�optimisticabout�the�job�market�but�were�very�carefulbefore�accepting�any�job�offer.�Employeeswere�less�likely�to�join�banks�rumoured�tobe�involved�in�acquisition�deals�even�thoughopportunities�were�abundant�in�these�banks.
Salary�levels�rose,�particularly�for�employeesspecialising�in�compliance.�Employeesworking�in�organisations�with�good�financialresults�typically�received�raises�of�5-10%,but�candidates�in�firms�with�less�stellarperformance�generally�received�incrementsof�up�to�3%.�Professionals�in�demandcommanded�salary�increments�of�20-25%when�moving�roles,�largely�due�to�the�scarcityof�talent�in�the�market.�However,�as�banksslowed�down�their�hiring�toward�the�year�end,increments�averaged�around�15-25%.
In�the�second�half�of�the�year,�professionalswith�Basel�II,�compliance�and�riskmanagement�remained�sought-after�as�bankscontinued�tightening�regulatory�requirements.
Banks�and�insurance�companies�recruitedproject�managers�actively�in�order�tostreamline�processes,�stay�competitive�inthe�local�market�and�to�expand�regionally.Legal�and�compliance�professionals�wereincreasingly�in�demand�due�to�stricter�bankregulations�and�to�ensure�that�businessescomplied�with�new�regulations.
There�remained�a�significant�shortage�ofquantitative�analysts�and�modellers,�as�wellas�actuarial�professionals�for�the�insuranceindustry.�This�has�been�an�ongoing�challengedue�to�local�talent�being�poached�by�overseascompanies,�which�offered�the�prospect�ofhigher�salaries�and�regional�exposure,�leadingto�a�‘brain�drain’�in�Malaysia.
Outlook�for�2013Firms�are�likely�to�remain�cautiously�optimistic,with�demand�largely�dictated�by�the�growthof�the�economy.�Companies�are�likely�toobserve�Malaysia’s�economic�stability�amidstan�uncertain�global�economic�climate�beforemaking�any�hiring�decisions.
There�is�likely�to�be�continued�demandfor�project�managers,�risk�managementand�compliance�professionals,�as�well�asoperations�professionals�as�more�companieshub�their�shared�services�functions�inMalaysia.
Salary�levels�are�likely�to�rise�for�mostprofessionals,�in�line�with�year-on-yearincrements�of�3-10%,�depending�on�individualperformance�and�companies'�financialperformance.�Professionals�are�likely�to�receivesalary�increments�of�20-25%�when�moving.
Compliance�specialists,�in�particular,�are�likelyto�receive�higher�salaries�from�the�analyst�to

Market�OverviewBanks�and�financial�institutions�were�cautiousin�their�hiring�approach�throughout�the�firstthree�quarters�of�the�year.�These�recruitmentlevels�tightened�even�more�in�quarter�four�asforeign�banks�received�direction�from�globalheadquarters�to�hold�off�new�headcount.International�banks�in�particular�focusedon�business-critical�hires,�which�requiredadditional�levels�of�approval.�Within�thecommerce�sector,�HR�job�levels�remained�fairlyhigh,�most�notably�for�firms�within�the�FMCG,oil�and�gas�and�manufacturing�sectors�as
multinationals�continued�to�enter�theMalaysian�market�throughout�the�year.

Outlook�for�2013Overall�hiring�sentiment�is�likely�to�be�cautious,especially�within�the�financial�services�sector.
However,�retail�and�FMCG�firms�are�likely�tocontinue�recruiting�as�these�areas�remainrelatively�resilient�to�economic�uncertainty.Shared�services�will�remain�a�key�focus�formany�employers,�not�only�within�financialservices�but�also�in�consumer�industriessuch�as�healthcare�and�pharmaceuticals.Therefore,�we�expect�to�see�demand�in�similarareas�to�2012,�with�compensations�andbenefits�specialists,�learning�and�developmentspecialists,�HR�generalists,�business�partnersand�talent�acquisition�managers�all�likely�to�besought-after�as�companies�look�to�continue�tofocus�on�attracting�and�retaining�key�talent.

Market�OverviewAn�influx�of�shared�and�managed�servicesled�to�high�volumes�of�IT�jobs�in�the�first�halfof�2012.�In�particular,�we�saw�a�number�ofsystems�upgrades�and�new�projects�beingsanctioned�within�the�financial�services�sector,which�led�to�increased�demand�for�projectmanagers�and�systems�developers�on�both�acontract�and�permanent�basis.�Moving�into�thesecond�half,�we�observed�more�demand�forproject�management�professionals�across�allIT�sectors.
With�organisations�across�many�sectors�keento�boost�their�infrastructure�and�security,there�was�also�greater�demand�for�systemsand�networking�managers.�Talented�ITprofessionals�with�SAP�skills�and�projectmanagers�also�continued�to�be�sought-after.
Employers�were�more�open�to�hiringprofessionals�with�international�experience�dueto�the�talent�shortage�in�specific�niche�areas,such�as�Oracle�experience.�Demand�for�theseprofessionals�increased�due�to�rising�foreigndirect�investment�in�Asia�as�more�of�thesecompanies�use�this�software.�Additionally,�wesaw�a�rise�in�the�number�of�projects�in�AsiaPacific�during�the�second�half�of�the�year.�Tosupport�these�initiatives,�companies�actively

Market�OverviewMalaysia's�abundant�natural�resources�havecreated�ample�job�opportunities�for�specialistsin�the�oil�and�gas�industry.�It�is�the�secondlargest�exporter�of�liquefied�natural�gas�(LNG)in�the�world�and�provides�up�to�20%�ofJapan’s�LNG�needs.�As�a�result,�job�levelswere�high�as�Malaysian�companies�strove�toincrease�the�production�of�natural�gas�to�meetgrowing�demand.
In�particular,�firms�were�keen�to�hire�to�supportthe�launch�of�projects,�exploration�anddevelopment�sites�across�the�region.�Thisled�to�a�subsequent�demand�for�reservoirengineers�specialising�in�the�fields�of�studiesand�simulation.�These�projects�also�led�to�bothoperators�and�specialist�service�companieshiring�geophysicists�with�strong�2D/3D�seismicdata�interpretation�skills,�as�well�as�quantitativeinterpretation�(QI)�specialists�at�the�mid�tosenior�level.
The�new�launch�of�exploration�anddevelopment�projects�further�fuelled�thedemand�for�operations�and�developmentgeologists�across�the�region.�In�particular,candidates�proficient�in�geomodeling,�analysis,interpretation�and�characterisation�werefrequently�sought-after.�Candidates�withregional�experience�were�also�actively�soughtbecause�of�their�ability�to�add�value,�withfirms�hiring�those�who�could�provide�regionalexpertise�at�the�crucial�kick-off�stages�of�theirprojects.
Academic�qualifications�were�a�prerequisitefor�all�roles�and,�despite�the�large�size�ofthe�oil�and�gas�industry,�the�talent�pool�ofprofessionals�with�niche�skill�sets�remainedlimited.�Candidates�were�aware�of�theirmarket�value�and�generally�had�realistic�salaryexpectations�based�on�their�experience�andindividual�skill�sets.�Many�were�confidentenough�to�seek�new�jobs�but�consideredsalary�and�benefits,�career�growth�andopportunities�for�overseas�transfers�beforemaking�a�move.
Outlook�for�2013Hiring�levels�are�likely�to�remain�high�within�theoil�and�gas�industry�across�all�sub-sectors.Most�firms�are�likely�to�expand�their�headcountafter�securing�crucial�projects�and�thereforerequire�additional�staffing.�Fully�qualified�andexperienced�subsurface

Our�established�sales�&�marketingdivision�specialises�in�the�placement�ofpermanent�candidates�at�the�mid�to�seniormanagement�levels.�We�recruit�primarily�forthe�following�sectors:�FMCG,�retail�and�luxurybrands,�media,�education,�entertainment,pharmaceutical�and�healthcare,�supply�chainand�logistics,�financial�and�professionalservices,�telecommunications�and�informationtechnology.
Market�OverviewSales�and�marketing�hiring�levels�remainedconsistently�high�in�the�first�half�of�the�yearwithin�the�banking�and�financial�servicessector.�With�international�banks�attemptingto�enter�the�market,�there�was�demandfor�professionals�specialising�in�productmanagement,�customer�experience,�analyticsand�CRM,�as�well�as�digital�and�mobilebanking�as�firms�sought�to�grow�their�serviceofferings�in�this�area.�In�the�second�half�of2012,�the�FMCG�and�technical�healthcareareas�continued�to�grow�actively.�Seniormanagement�roles�in�luxury�retail�also�sawhigher�recruitment�as�brands�underwentbusiness�expansion�and�opened�moreboutiques�in�the�shopping�malls.
Overall�market�sentiment�remained�relativelyupbeat�due�to�encouraging�domesticconsumption�rate�and�economic�growthlevels.�Recruitment�activity�was�higher�withinthe�commerce�sectors,�with�firms�within�theFMCG�and�pharmaceutical�sectors�particularlyactive.�In�particular,�sales�and�brandingprofessionals�were�highly�sought-after�asthese�companies�required�strong�commercialtalent�to�help�launch�new�brands�or�categorieswithin�existing�lines�in�a�highly�competitivemarket.�We�also�saw�a�demand�for�trademarketers�and�consumer�insight�professionalswho�were�mostly�needed�for�their�specialisedskill�sets.
Companies�within�the�pharmaceutical�industryrecruited�steadily�throughout�the�year�and�we
observed�particular�demand�for�professionalswith�experience�in�specific�areas�such�asconsumer�healthcare�and�generic�drugs.This�was�fuelled�by�many�pharmaceuticalcompanies�losing�patents�on�their�products,which�resulted�in�them�having�to�either�expandtheir�product�portfolio�or�enter�the�consumerhealthcare�or�generic�drugs�market.
Hiring�levels�across�the�IT�industry�fell,although�we�saw�moderate�recruitment�activitywithin�the�telecommunications�sector.�Thiswas�largely�due�to�the�impact�of�economicuncertainty�within�the�United�States�andEurope,�which�led�to�significant�restructuringactivity�within�the�Malaysian�market.�Sales�andmarketing�professionals�also�continued�to�besought-after�by�telecommunications�servicesproviders�that�were�keen�to�market�data�plans.
As�device�manufacturing�companies�soughtto�capture�a�larger�market�share�with�theincreased�popularity�of�smart�phones,�wesaw�demand�for�digital�specialists,�segmentmarketers,�channel�marketers,�enterprise�salesmanagers�and�CRM�specialists.
Salaries�increased�in�some�industries,�forexample,�professionals�working�in�the�ITand�telecommunications�sectors�receiveda�year-on-year�salary�increase�of�5-10%.However,�the�majority�of�sales�and�marketingprofessionals�generally�received�increases�ofup�to�3%.�Although�they�typically�remainedcautious�about�moving�jobs,�securing�asalary�increase�was�a�key�priority�for�manycandidates.�Most�professionals�who�were�inhigh�demand�generally�received�incrementsof�15-20%�when�changing�jobs.�Within�theFMCG�sector,�salary�increments�averaged20%�as�companies�sought�to�secure�talentwith�this�niche�experience.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�sales�and�marketing�joblevels�to�be�highest�within�the�FMCG�andpharmaceutical�sectors�due�to�continued
growth�in�these�businesses.�Specifically,product,�marketing�and�sales�managers,�trademarketers�and�consumer�insight�specialistsare�likely�to�be�sought-after�as�FMCGcompanies�seek�to�capitalise�on�increasedconsumer�spending.
By�comparison,�hiring�levels�within�the�bankingand�financial�services�sector�are�likely�tocontinue�to�be�low�as�these�firms�remainconservative.
We�expect�salary�levels�to�remain�relativelyconsistent,�increases�are�likely�to�occur�at�thesenior�level.�For�example,�general�managersare�likely�to�receive�RM240�-�300k+�in�2013,up�from�RM215�-�260k�in�2012�due�to�thevalue�these�professionals�can�add.�Mostprofessionals�who�move�jobs�are�likely�toreceive�increments�of�20-30%�when�doing�so.

Market�OverviewHiring�levels�were�low�in�the�first�half�ofthe�year�as�employers�remained�cautious.However,�business�development�professionalswere�sought-after�as�companies�lookedto�tap�into�a�larger�client�network�to�drivetheir�businesses.�In�the�second�half�of�2012,the�volume�of�roles�in�supply�chain�andprocurement�picked�up.�We�saw�strongdemand�for�professionals�specialising�instrategic�procurement,�logistics,�distributionand�transportation�in�the�manufacturing�sector.Supply�planning,�warehousing,�productionand�facilities�managers�were�also�highlysought-after�to�assist�in�business�operationsand�development�functions.
Operations�and�material�managers�were�indemand,�particularly�those�knowledgeablein�supply�chain�operations�and�implementingcost-cutting�measures�as�employersconcentrated�on�reducing�expenditure.Companies�also�hired�demand/supplyplanners�who�were�able�to�conduct�forecastanalysis�and�improve�productivity�andcustomer�service.�In�each�of�these�areas,professionals�typically�received�salaryincreases�of�around�20%�when�moving�jobs.
Most�professionals�who�remained�in�theirexisting�roles�typically�received�pay�rises�of3-10%�as�companies�placed�a�stronger�focuson�staff�retention�due�to�significant�competitionfor�the�best�talent.�Because�of�this�competitiveenvironment,�employers�had�to�make�hiringdecisions�swiftly�to�secure�their�first�choicecandidates.
Some�employers�shifted�their�operationsto�smaller�and�more�cost-effective�logisticscompanies�as�they�sought�to�reducebudgeting.�However,�most�within�themanufacturing�sector�continued�to�hire�supplychain�planners�and�procurement�and�logisticsprofessionals�as�they�were�keen�to�retaintheir�internal�logistics�functions�(as�opposedto�outsourcing�them�to�third�party�logisticsproviders).�This�strategy�enabled�organisationsto�maintain�control�in�a�cost-efficient�manner.
Outlook�for�2013Firms�within�the�manufacturing�sectorare�likely�to�hire�most�actively�as�theyexpand�their�supply�chain�and�procurementfunctions.�Therefore,�we�predict�professionalsspecialising�in�strategic�procurement,�logistics,distribution�and�transportation�to�be�indemand.
Supply�planning,�warehousing,�productionand�facilities�managers�are�likely�to�behighly�sought-after�to�support�operationsand�business�development�functions.�Withcompanies�keen�to�cut�down�operationalcosts�and�bring�logistics�functions�in-house,we�expect�to�see�potential�demand�fordemand/supply�planners�and�logisticsprofessionals.
The�majority�of�salaries�should�remainconsistent�in�2013.�However,�we�will�seesignificant�increases�in�some�areas,�forexample,�regional�logistics�managers�with6 -10� years'� experience�will� receive�RM156-�200k�in�2013,�up�from�RM144�-�200k�in2012.�This�is�largely�due�to�companies�optingto�take�their�logistics�function�in-house�orhubbing�their�operations�in�Malaysia,�thereforerequiring�candidates�with�regional�experience.Professionals�are�likely�to�receive�incrementsof�up�to�20%�when�they�move�jobs.

The New Zealand employment market was relatively mixed in 2012. While many organisations were confident about the future, others were concerned about local and global economic conditions. This led to organisations either moving forward with their hiring plans or taking a more conservative approach and restructuring or delaying recruitment initiatives to 2013. This variation in hiring attitudes meant there were a number of peaks and troughs in recruitment levels throughout the year.
With uncertain economic conditions and continuing internal company restructures, overall job seeker confidence was low. As a result, many professionals approached their job search with caution. We anticipate confidence in both the economy and the job market will improve throughout 2013 and therefore expect to see increased positivity among both employers and candidates. This will create greater candidate movement in the market and lead to increased job levels.
As the New Zealand talent pool is relatively small, any shifts in demand can quickly create skill shortages. Consequently, we anticipate that salaries will rise within the main growth industries (i.e. finance, human resources and IT) in 2013 as competition for talent intensifies. Those organisations that implement the most efficient recruitment processes will secure the best professionals available.

Our�accounting�&�finance�team�recruitspermanent�and�contract�professionals�atall�levels,�ranging�from�accounts�payable,accounts�receivable�and�credit�controllersthrough�to�financial�accountants,�managementaccountants,�finance�managers�and�chieffinancial�officers.�We�recruit�for�a�broadselection�of�New�Zealand�businesses�withincommerce�and�industry,�from�blue-chiporganisations�through�to�small�to�mediumsized�enterprises,�large�corporates�and�thepublic�sector.
Market�OverviewThere�was�an�increase�in�hiring�volumes�atthe�start�of�2012�as�recruitment�initiativesfrom�2011�rolled�over�to�the�New�Year.Recruitment�activity�increased�in�quarterstwo�and�three�before�falling�in�quarter�four,as�fluctuations�in�market�confidence�resultedin�organisations�using�internal�resources�tocover�extra�workloads�rather�than�increasingheadcount.
Most�permanent�demand�was�for�financialand�management�accountants�with�strongtechnical�skills�who�were�prepared�to�carryout�‘hands-on’�tasks.�We�saw�an�increase�inbusiness�partnering�and�commercially-focusedroles�during�the�year,�with�a�particularlynotable�demand�for�commercially-mindedanalysts�as�businesses�sought�to�identify�costefficiencies�that�could�be�made.�There�wasalso�an�increase�in�the�recruitment�of�seniorlevel�professionals�as�organisations�investedin�strategically-minded�individuals�who�coulddeliver�growth.
As�in�previous�years,�the�majority�of�contractvacancies�were�for�accounts�payable�andreceivable�professionals,�with�an�increase�indemand�for�senior�financial�and�managementaccountants,�project�accountants,�businessanalysts�and�system�accountants�in�quarterstwo�and�three.�Businesses�sought�to�recruitthese�professionals�to�support�systems�andprocess�improvement�projects.
Most�of�the�year’s�hiring�activity�wasdriven�by�large�organisations�in�the�FMCG,manufacturing,�utilities,�telecommunicationsand�retail�sectors�as�these�businesses�wererelatively�unaffected�by�economic�conditions.However,�we�saw�comparatively�little�demandfrom�SME-sized�companies�as�uncertaintyin�the�market�had�a�bigger�impact�on�theseemployers.
There�was�a�notable�spike�in�job�seekervolumes�in�quarter�three,�when�a�large�numberof�New�Zealand�expats�returned�from�the�UKfollowing�the�Olympics.�However,�we�sawmany�organisations�miss�out�on�high-calibreprofessionals�due�to�slow�recruitmentprocesses�and�unnecessary�red�tape.
Although�few�candidates�received�salaryincreases�during�the�year,�professionals�within�demand�skill�sets�did�receive�uplifts�whenmoving�jobs�due�to�significant�competitionfor�the�best�talent.�These�trends�wereparticularly�noticeable�for�candidates�withspecific�ERP�systems�exposure,�relevantindustry�experience�and�a�strong�commercialbackground.�Businesses�also�placed�asignificant�emphasis�on�cultural�fit�throughoutthe�year�and�were�prepared�to�pay�a�premiumfor�this.
Outlook�for�2013Many�businesses�began�delivering�on�theirgrowth�strategies�in�2012�and�we�expectthis�to�continue.�We�therefore�anticipaterecruitment�levels�to�steadily�increase�over�thecourse�of�2013.�This�will�result�in�increaseddemand�for�commercial�and�analytically�astuteprofessionals�with�CA,�ACCA,�CPA,�CIMA�orequivalent�qualifications,�who�have�worked�inlarge�multinational�businesses�and�possessrelevant�industry�experience.
We�expect�the�majority�of�salary�levels�toremain�consistent,�however,�we�anticipatesome�increases�will�occur�at�the�junior�endof�the�market�due�to�only�marginal�salary
increases�at�this�level�over�the�past�threeyears.�Assessing�cultural�fit�will�remain�animportant�part�of�the�hiring�process�ascompanies�continue�to�focus�on�maintainingand�nurturing�high-calibre�talent.

Robert�Walters’�human�resources�divisionin�Auckland�recruits�both�permanent�andcontract�professionals�at�all�levels,�from�HRadministrators�through�to�director�level.�Wework�across�all�industry�sectors�and�ourareas�of�speciality�include�generalist�HR,remuneration�and�benefits,�learning�anddevelopment,�organisational�development,recruitment,�change�management�and�healthand�safety.
Market�OverviewRecruitment�activity�within�the�HR�sector�wasrelatively�high�in�2012,�despite�a�slow�startto�the�year.�Throughout�quarters�one�andtwo�organisations�focused�on�restructuresand�redundancies�and,�as�a�result,�therewas�a�limited�number�of�new�HR�roles.�Inthe�second�half�of�the�year�there�was�asignificant�increase�in�the�number�of�HRpositions�available�(particularly�at�the�juniorto�intermediate�advisory�level)�as�economicconditions�improved�and�business�confidencereturned.
When�organisations�did�recruit�they�favouredgeneralist�HR�practitioners�who�couldperform�broader�roles�over�their�specialistcounterparts.�This�resulted�in�a�demandfor�reliable�HR�advisors�and�generalistHR�business�partners.�There�was�alsocontinued�demand�for�in-house�recruitersas�organisations�attempted�to�cut�costs�bymanaging�recruitment�processes�in-house.Another�noticeable�trend�was�an�increasedrequirement�for�HR�administrators�andcoordinators�to�provide�greater�support�to�HRteams.
Whilst�there�was�some�recruitment�at�thesenior�level,�there�were�a�number�of�caseswhere�senior�positions�were�replaced�withmore�junior�professionals�as�line�managerstook�on�more�responsibility.�Strategic�HRresponsibilities�were�also�increasingly�movedabroad�by�global�organisations.
The�contract�recruitment�market�wasrelatively�buoyant�throughout�2012;�mainlybecause�organisations�were�hiring�HRcontractors�to�cover�maternity�leave,holidays�and�secondments�in�an�attemptto�provide�business�continuity.�There�wasalso�an�increase�in�demand�for�junior�tointermediate�level�HR�contractors�to�completeadministration,�systems�and�health�and�safetyprojects�before�the�end�of�the�year.
Most�job�seekers�were�keen�to�joinorganisations�that�offered�career�progression,training�and�a�good�company�culture,�ratherthan�salary�increases.�This�meant�that�internaltraining�and�development�initiatives�continuedto�be�a�key�focus�for�businesses�that�werelooking�to�hire�the�best�professionals.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�economic�conditions�will�continueto�improve�in�2013�and,�as�a�result,�therewill�be�an�increase�in�HR�recruitment�activityas�businesses�look�to�retain�talented�staff.We�anticipate�that�HR�generalists�will�berecruited�in�reasonable�numbers�but�expectthere�will�also�be�a�greater�need�for�specialistHR�professionals,�including�organisationaldevelopment,�learning�and�developmentand�recruitment,�as�organisations�focus�onemployee�engagement,�more�in-depth�trainingand�succession�planning.
Salaries�are�not�expected�to�increasedramatically�in�2013,�however,�as�marketconditions�improve�and�companies�deliverbetter�results,�there�may�be�some�salaryincreases�for�in�demand�specialist�skill�setssuch�as�learning�and�development.

Our�information�technology�division�specialisesin�the�recruitment�of�both�permanent�andcontract�professionals�across�the�Aucklandmarket.�We�recruit�all�levels�of�roles�from�entrylevel�helpdesk�positions�to�CIOs.�With�theability�to�provide�fully�integrated�solutions�thatutilise�our�extensive�international�network,locally�based�candidates�and�highly�accuratedatabase,�the�IT�division�continues�to�set�thebenchmark�for�speed�and�delivery�within�acandidate�short�market.
Market�OverviewIT�job�levels�were�high�throughout�2012�asorganisations�continued�to�focus�on�businessgrowth.�There�was�a�consistent�demand�forpermanent�IT�professionals�in�the�first�half�ofthe�year�but�organisations�had�to�focus�onhiring�contract�staff�in�quarters�three�and�fourdue�to�a�severe�lack�of�available�candidates.
Companies�in�the�insurance,�manufacturingand�FMCG�sectors�hired�consistentlythroughout�the�year.�This�was�becausea�number�of�businesses�went�throughrestructures,�reviewed�current�processes�orwere�required�to�implement�new�regulatoryframeworks.
Business�analysts�with�business�processre-engineering�experience�were�in�extremelyhigh�demand�as�many�organisations�looked�tostreamline�processes,�improve�systems�andreduce�operational�costs.�Professionals�withMicrosoft�technologies�experience�were�alsohighly�sought-after�as�organisations�favouredMicrosoft�solutions�for�their�businesses.
Towards�the�end�of�the�year�we�saw�anincrease�in�demand�for�business�intelligence,data�analysts,�Cognos�and�report�developers.This�was�because�businesses�were�keen�tofurther�improve�efficiencies�by�utilising�thebusiness�intelligence�data�provided�by�theseprofessionals.
The�high�demand�for�permanent�headcountthroughout�2012�meant�professionals�oftenhad�multiple�job�offers�to�choose�fromand�were�able�to�successfully�negotiateremuneration�at�the�top�end�of�salarybandings.�As�well�as�salary�increases,professionals�were�attracted�to�roles�thatoffered�career�progression,�stability�andexposure�to�new�technologies.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�the�shortage�of�availablejob�seekers�for�permanent�roles�will�continuein�2013�and,�as�a�result,�permanent�salariesare�likely�to�increase.�We�expect�the�contractmarket�to�increase�significantly�in�2013�with�astrong�pipeline�of�requirements�going�into�theyear.�This�is�a�result�of�the�permanent�marketbeing�candidate�short�and�large�programmesof�work�being�signed�off.
As�organisations�continue�to�focus�on�strategy,business�growth�and�resource�allocation,we�expect�the�impetus�given�to�businessintelligence�and�data�analyst�reports�toincrease,�which�will�lead�to�further�demand�forprofessionals�with�experience�in�these�areas.

Market�OverviewThe�procurement�and�supply�chain�recruitmentmarket�was�stable�throughout�quarters�oneand�two�of�2012.�However,�in�the�second�halfof�the�year�we�saw�a�rise�in�the�number�ofnewly�created�IT�projects�focused�on�businessimprovement�and�cost�savings.�This�led�toan�increased�demand�for�IT�professionals.Some�organisations�also�restructured�theirbusinesses,�which�further�contributed�toincreased�hiring�activity.
There�were�a�number�of�attractiveprocurement�and�supply�chain�opportunitiesavailable�at�all�levels,�with�senior�demand
planners�and�supply�chain�analysts�inparticularly�high�demand.�These�roles�areseen�to�be�critical�for�improving�businessprocesses�and�introducing�cost�efficiencies.As�a�result,�there�were�significant�skillsshortages�in�these�areas.�As�project�work�wasgiven�the�green�light,�procurement�specialists,category�managers,�contract�managers,project�managers�and�business�analysts�withexperience�implementing�new�systems�andprocedures�were�also�highly�sought-after.
Hiring�activity�was�particularly�evident�withinthe�FMCG,�retail,�telecommunications�andservices�industries�as�well�as�across�thepublic�sector.�These�sectors�were�constantlyreviewing�their�team�structures�throughout�theyear�to�ensure�new�strategic�objectives�couldbe�met.�Salaries�remained�largely�unchangedfor�permanent�positions�throughout�2012,while�contract�rates�fluctuated�depending�onthe�scope�of�a�project.
Outlook�for�2013The�level�of�hiring�activity�that�took�place�in�thesecond�half�of�2012�is�expected�to�continuethroughout�2013�as�businesses�that�havebeen�through�organisational�change�beginto�finalise�their�team�structures,�budgets�andimplement�projects.�As�a�result,�most�hiringactivity�is�expected�to�continue�to�be�at�theintermediate�to�senior�level�with�procurementspecialists,�demand�planners�and�businessanalysts�remaining�highly�sought-after.

Our�sales�&�marketing�division�in�Aucklandrecruits�for�both�permanent�and�contractpositions�at�all�levels,�including�entry�level�rolesthrough�to�senior�management�appointments.We�have�a�broad�client�base�covering�start-upbusinesses�through�to�larger�multinationals,across�the�FMCG,�retail,�pharmaceutical,�IT,professional�services�and�financial�servicessectors.
Market�OverviewThe�sales,�marketing�and�communicationsrecruitment�market�was�relatively�busy�atthe�start�of�2012�as�a�result�of�the�increasedinvestment�in�the�industry�in�2011�for�theRugby�World�Cup.�However,�a�particularly�wetholiday�season�had�a�detrimental�effect�onresults�for�many�FMCG�businesses�(especiallyice-cream,�wine�and�beer)�and�a�generaldecrease�in�shopping�activity�resulted�in�areduction�in�hiring�at�the�end�of�quarter�one.
The�finalisation�of�budgets�in�quarter�twomeant�that�many�businesses�consideredcombining�or�relocating�teams�to�createa�more�streamlined�approach�for�the�newfinancial�year.�In�some�cases�we�saw�wholemarketing�teams�being�relocated�offshore.There�were�a�number�of�redundancies�infinancial�services�following�new�acquisitions�orstructural�mergers.�In�most�cases,�candidateswith�specific�and�niche�skill�sets�were�able�tosecure�new�roles�with�relative�ease,�particularlyif�they�had�experience�of�digital�marketing,credit�cards�or�loyalty�schemes.
The�focus�for�most�consumer-led�marketingdepartments�throughout�the�year�was�ongaining�greater�insight�into�shoppers’�habitsand�targeting�specific�activity�at�the�point�ofpurchase.�Trade�marketing�departments�wereintegrated�into�traditional�marketing�teams,which�led�to�increased�demand�for�categorymanagement,�CRM�and�consumer�insightsprofessionals.�This�meant�these�professionalsreceived�salary�rises�as�their�skill�sets�weredifficult�to�source�locally.
Within�professional�services�there�wascontinued�demand�for�business�developmentprofessionals�who�could�increase�sales�andimprove�the�bottom�line�performance�of�abusiness.�Legal�and�chartered�accountingfirms�also�needed�to�fill�gaps�created�bybusiness�development�managers�moving�firmsand�created�new�sales�roles�in�order�to�acquirenew�clients.
Financial�services�businesses�focused�onthe�importance�of�having�a�digital�strategyat�the�forefront�of�their�integrated�marketingcampaigns.�This�meant�that�professionalsacross�all�levels�of�the�business�were�requiredto�demonstrate�an�understanding�of�webbased�marketing�tools,�either�through�analyticsor�mobile�based�loyalty�and�direct�marketing.These�skills�were�also�in�demand�throughoutthe�telecommunications�and�IT�sectors.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�that�recruitment�activity�willremain�stable�throughout�2013,�with�hiringlevels�likely�to�remain�similar�to�those�seen�in2012.�We�believe�that�the�market�will�continueto�experience�talent�based�skill�shortageswithin�CRM,�insights,�category�and�keyaccount�management�due�to�a�lack�of�talent�inthe�local�market.
Companies�will�be�keen�to�recruitprofessionals�who�are�able�to�demonstrateboth�commercial�acumen�and�a�greaterunderstanding�of�finance,�analytics�andIT�methodologies.�This�will�help�themremain�relevant�and�close�to�their�customerbase.�We�expect�more�resource�will�bespent�on�information�technology�as�partof�the�marketing�toolbox�then�ever�before.Professionals�who�can�demonstratespecific�commercial�experience�using�thesetechnologies�are�likely�to�receive�multiple�joboffers�and�increases�in�pay.

Market�OverviewAfter�a�slow�start�to�the�year,�secretarialand�business�support�recruitment�activityincreased�in�quarters�three�and�four�as�aresult�of�the�gradual�recovery�of�the�localeconomy.�However,�professionals�put�a�lot�ofthought�into�any�change�of�role�before�theymade�the�move�as�they�were�still�concernedabout�general�market�uncertainty.�This�led�toa�decline�in�professionals�applying�for�jobsand�an�increase�in�the�number�of�candidatescalling�for�consultative�advice�about�themarket,�salaries�and�job�prospects.
The�highest�levels�of�hiring�activity�occurredat�the�intermediate�business�support�level�at$40�-�60k,�especially�for�customer�services,reception,�office�administration�and�salessupport�roles.�There�was�also�an�ongoingrequirement�for�temporary�contractors�tocover�roles�while�permanent�staff�were�onleave,�when�projects�were�in�process�or�tostrengthen�business�systems.�Demand�wasparticularly�high�for�senior�call�centre�staff�asrestructures�led�to�the�creation�of�new�roles�atthis�level.
Many�organisations�put�extra�emphasis�onpromoting�their�corporate�social�responsibilitystrategy�throughout�the�year�and,�in�turn,many�candidates�focused�on�company�valuesand�job�security�as�the�key�motivators�to�joina�new�organisation.�Employers�that�were�ableto�offer�these�benefits�and�adopt�robust�andefficient�recruitment�processes�were�able�tosecure�the�best�support�professionals.
Outlook�for�2013The�outlook�for�2013�is�positive�due�to�anincrease�in�hiring�activity�during�quarter�four�of2012.�The�construction�and�insurance�sectorsare�expected�to�be�particularly�busy�becauseof�the�rebuild�projects�in�Christchurch.

Our�accounting�&�finance�division�specialisesin�the�recruitment�of�permanent,�contract�andtemporary�roles�at�all�levels;�from�non-qualifiedto�CFO�level�positions.�Our�clients�range�fromsmall�to�medium�enterprises�through�to�largeprivate�and�public�sector�organisations.
Market�OverviewThe�accounting�and�finance�recruitmentmarket�was�significantly�affected�by�therestructuring�and�merging�of�public�sectororganisations�throughout�2012.�Centralgovernment�made�some�key�changes�with�thecreation�of�the�Ministry�of�Business,�Innovationand�Employment;�as�well�as�in�the�educationsector�where�a�number�of�Industry�TrainingOrganisations�(ITOs)�dramatically�decreasedin�size.�There�was�further�uncertainty�inthe�market�when�five�large�governmentsector�organisations�reviewed�their�financialstructures,�which�led�to�a�slowdown�in�thehiring�of�permanent�professionals.
In�the�first�half�of�the�year�there�was�a�lot�ofhiring�in�the�contract�market�to�assist�withthe�completion�of�projects�and�increasedworkflow.�However,�recruitment�activity�slowedin�quarter�four�as�organisations�were�not�ableto�begin�project�work�until�restructures�werecompleted.�The�reduction�in�hiring�volumesmeant�contractors�who�found�work�easily�inthe�first�half�of�the�year�struggled�to�find�newroles.
Hourly�rates�for�contract�accountants�werestagnant�when�compared�to�previousyears.�The�only�exception�was�for�systemsaccountants�and�senior�managementaccountants,�who�were�able�to�ask�forincreased�hourly�rates�because�they�wereso�highly�sought-after.�Systems�accountantswere�in�demand�as�organisations�focusedon�improved�reporting�to�create�a�betterunderstanding�for�the�business�end�usersand�to�generate�efficiency�within�financeteams.�Senior�management�accountants�werehighly�sought-after�for�their�ability�to�create
information�that�explains�the�cost�drivers�of�thebusiness.
In�the�permanent�accounting�recruitmentmarket,�infrastructure�and�telecommunicationscompanies�hired�staff�with�strong�projectand�asset�capitalisation�experience.�Thesewere�seen�as�business�critical�roles�andrequired�experienced�professionals�whocould�hit�the�ground�running.�Job�levels�werealso�high�within�accounting�practices,�asbusiness�advisory�and�audit�departmentshired�accountants�at�manager�level.�Whiletraditionally�candidates�in�this�sector�havemoved�on�straight�after�qualifying,�since�theglobal�financial�crisis�there�has�been�a�trendfor�professionals�to�wait�a�few�years�afterqualifying�before�moving.�This�has�createdincreased�demand�for�candidates�at�themanagerial�level.
In�general,�permanent�salaries�remainedstable�throughout�the�year�but�some�seniorcandidates�who�had�been�made�redundantdid�need�to�adjust�their�salary�expectations�tomeet�the�market�rate,�as�organisations�triedto�lower�pay�rates.�However,�there�were�someorganisations�that�were�paying�well�below�themarket�rate�and,�as�a�result,�they�struggled�tohire�the�appropriate�level�of�professional.
Outlook�for�2013We�expect�there�to�be�a�lot�of�movementin�the�first�half�of�2013,�as�restructures�thatoccurred�in�2012�are�finalised�and�additionalpermanent�headcount�is�signed�off.�We�alsobelieve�that�contract�hiring�activity�will�increaseas�the�public�sector�reaches�financial�year�end.

Market�OverviewRecruitment�in�the�banking�and�financialservices�sector�was�driven�by�regulatoryrequirements�(AML/CFT�and�FATCA)�andthe�integration�of�two�major�banks�in�2012.There�was�also�an�ongoing�drive�throughoutthe�sector�for�improved�efficiencies�throughprocess�re-engineering,�which�resulted�in�anincrease�in�job�levels.
The�operations�market�within�riskmanagement�was�particularly�busy�as�ongoing
uncertainty�in�the�international�financialmarkets�meant�risk�management�professionalscontinued�to�be�in�high�demand.�These�nicheskill�sets�were�very�difficult�to�find�in�the�localmarket�and�often�had�to�be�recruited�fromoverseas.
The�availability�of�finance�professionals�in�theWellington�market�improved�in�2012�as�therelatively�favourable�economic�conditions�inNew�Zealand�meant�that�expats�in�the�UKwere�keen�to�return�home�to�re-establish�theircareers.�A�challenge�in�the�past�has�beenthe�translation�of�salary�expectations�into�thedomestic�market.�However�this�was�not�aproblem�in�2012,�as�the�motivation�to�escapethe�European�financial�climate�far�outweighedany�perceived�salary�discrepancies.
For�the�most�part,�salary�levels�remainedstatic.�However,�there�was�a�widespread�trendfor�remuneration�to�increase�at�the�job�offerstage�as�firms�demonstrated�their�commitmentto�secure�their�desired�candidates.�This�wasparticularly�common�for�middle�and�uppermanagement�roles.
Outlook�for�2013We�do�not�envisage�any�significant�increasesin�recruitment�levels�in�2013�and�expect�thekey�drivers�for�recruitment�will�continue�to�beoperational�efficiency�and�meeting�regulatoryrequirements.�We�do�not�believe�that�salarieswill�breach�consumer�price�index�increases,although�we�anticipate�that�top�performerswill�continue�to�be�rewarded�financially�so�thatthey�remain�in�their�existing�roles.

Market�OverviewThere�was�increased�demand�for�engineeringand�construction�professionals�across�NewZealand�throughout�2012.�This�was�largelydriven�by�the�aftermath�of�the�earthquakein�Christchurch,�where�demolition�workcontinues�and�the�rebuild�gains�momentum.The�increased�demand�continued�to�putpressure�on�talent�pools�nationally.
Specialist�task�forces�were�required�forresidential�insurance�repair�and�rebuild,�as�wellas�for�additional�infrastructure�works�acrossthe�Canterbury�region.�This�rebuild�workincreased�demand�for�quantity�surveyors,
estimators,�project�managers,�civil,�structuraland�geo-technical�engineers.
In�Wellington�there�was�a�steady�flow�of�civilinfrastructure�work,�as�a�number�of�roadworkprojects�were�given�the�green�light�acrossthe�city.�However,�a�shortage�of�candidatesfor�structural�engineer,�quantity�surveyor�andproject�manager�roles�made�quick�progressvery�difficult.�As�a�result,�recruitment�driveswere�launched�across�the�UK�and�Irelandto�source�qualified�professionals�who�wouldconsider�a�move�to�New�Zealand.
As�demand�exceeded�supply�for�engineeringand�construction�professionals,�pressure�wasplaced�on�salaries�and�there�were�incrementalincreases�across�all�disciplines.�The�arrival�ofprofessionals�from�overseas�who�had�higherremuneration�expectations�also�resulted�insalaries�rising.
Outlook�for�2013With�many�buildings�in�Christchurch�still�tobe�demolished,�we�expect�that�there�will�bean�increased�demand�for�more�site-baseddelivery�professionals�in�2013,�as�manyprojects�begin�construction.�Other�growthareas�are�likely�to�include�infrastructure,�waterand�waste�water,�with�a�number�of�significantupgrades�due�to�commence�in�the�New�Year.
The�severe�skills�shortage�across�the�marketmeans�salaries�are�expected�to�rise�again�in2013.

Market�OverviewFollowing�a�relatively�quiet�period�of�hiringactivity�at�the�end�of�2011�there�was�anincrease�in�recruitment�levels�throughout2012.�During�the�first�half�of�the�year�therewas�an�increase�in�demand�for�specialist�HRcontractors,�particularly�in�the�public�sectoras�organisational�reviews�conducted�in�2011came�into�effect.�This�led�to�high�demand�forchange�managers,�organisational�developmentand�learning�and�development�professionals.
Throughout�the�second�half�of�2012�there�wasa�strong�requirement�for�contract�learning�anddevelopment�professionals�as�organisationalchanges�reached�implementation�stage.
The�permanent�market�experienced�asignificant�increase�in�the�hiring�of�capableand�proficient�senior�HR�advisors,�businesspartners�and�HR�managers.�This�was�a�resultof�organisations�placing�greater�emphasis�onthe�HR�department’s�contribution�to�futurestrategy.

Market�OverviewThe�Wellington�IT�recruitment�marketcontinued�to�be�affected�by�market-widetransformation�and�large�organisationalchange�in�2012.�Several�high�profilegovernment�agencies�joined�forces�inthe�second�half�of�the�year,�creating'super-ministries'�such�as�the�Ministry�ofBusiness,�Innovation�and�Employment�andthe�Ministry�of�Primary�Industries.�Two�majorbanks�also�completed�a�large-scale�integrationof�their�core�systems�and�infrastructure,creating�ANZ�National.�These�changesresulted�in�a�large�number�of�IT�professionalsleaving�their�roles�after�a�long�tenure�andstruggling�to�find�new�positions�because�theirskills�had�not�moved�with�the�market.
In�contrast,�there�was�increased�demandfor�contract�business�analysts,�project�andprogramme�managers�and�intermediate�andsenior�developers�within�both�the�.Net�andJava�space.�This�was�largely�driven�by�thegrowth�of�several�high�profile�New�Zealandowned,�Wellington-based�web�businesses.Experienced�solutions�and�enterprisearchitects�were�also�highly�sought-after�as�anumber�of�organisations�tried�to�ensure�theirtechnology�solutions�were�in�line�with�theirbusiness�objectives.
Despite�the�considerable�demand�for�ITprofessionals�across�the�market,�organisationstended�to�be�very�specific�when�recruiting,preferring�to�wait�for�a�good�technicaland�cultural�fit�before�hiring.�This�meantrecruitment�processes�were�often�lengthy,sometimes�taking�up�to�four�to�six�weeks.
In�general,�salaries�remained�on�par�with�therates�paid�in�2011.�However,�there�were�someinstances�where�organisations�increasedsalary�bands�for�fixed�term�opportunities�inorder�to�attract�the�best�professionals.
Outlook�for�2013We�predict�there�will�be�strong�demand�for�ITtalent�in�the�first�half�of�2013.�This�is�becausethere�was�a�slight�pause�in�capital�spendingduring�quarters�three�and�four�of�2012�andkey�project�outcomes�will�need�to�be�deliveredbefore�the�end�of�financial�year.�Skill�sets�thatwill�be�in�demand�will�match�those�in�2012,with�business�analysts,�project�managers�andexperienced�developers�likely�to�be�highlysought-after.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013
SInG

Overall hiring volumes were relatively high in Singapore in 2012. The FMCG, chemicals, engineering, manufacturing, retail, logistics, oil and gas and IT sectors were particularly active due to a combination of a steady flow of replacement hires, business growth and Singapore remaining a top choice among international firms as a regional hub.
However, global market uncertainty had a notable effect on the Singapore market. In particular, job levels fell considerably in the financial services sector during the second half of the year and redundancies occurred at all levels. In particular, many investment banking back office roles were relocated to lower cost locations. However, professionals specialising in product control, transaction banking, project management, credit risk, compliance, audit and legal were still highly sought- after due to regulatory changes and Singapore continuing to mature as a financial services hub. For these positions, firms placed a significant emphasis on local talent or Singapore returnees due to their knowledge of the local market, culture and network of contacts across Asia.
Similarly, an increasingly competitive business climate within the information technology and telecommunications sectors led these organisations to run lean operations as they sought to cut costs. Large systems integrators and telecommunications companies built offshore offices in lower cost locations, in particular, large data centres, application development and support functions were shifted to countries such as Malaysia and India. While we saw fewer large IT infrastructure projects implemented in 2012, the
outlook for 2013 remains optimistic due to anticipated refresh programmes.
Despite a generally conservative hiring climate, government-linked organisations, commodities firms and insurance companies continued to recruit key professionals for a combination of replacement hires and growth opportunities.
There was also increased demand for contractors as hiring managers found it difficult to gain approval from head office for permanent hires. Due to this increased demand, professionals were more open to a range of positions as they sought to gain varied industry experience.
In 2013, firms within the chemicals, pharmaceutical and medical devices sectors are likely to hire to support business growth. Among these businesses, there will continue to be demand for sales and marketing professionals and general managers with profit and loss experience and the ability to generate revenue. We also anticipate increased job levels in the technical healthcare space, with high demand for regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, medical representatives and clinical research professionals with the prerequisite scientific-related degrees as Singapore aims to establish itself as a medical hub for the region.
However, we anticipate that recruiting high-calibre local candidates will continue to be challenging as the local talent pool remains limited. Because of these shortages, talent retention and attraction is likely to become increasingly important for employers looking to sustain their long-term growth plans.

Market�OverviewInvestment�Banking�&�Global�MarketsIn�2012,�we�saw�cutbacks�within�investmentbanking�due�to�market�conditions.�Newregulations�which�restricted�the�activitiesbanks�were�allowed�to�conduct�continued�toimpact�investment�banking�and�global�trading.Lack�of�liquidity�in�the�market,�coupled�withthe�capital�which�banks�had�to�hold�in�orderto�engage�in�more�risky�investment�bankingactivities,�meant�banks�were�less�inclined�toinvest�in�this�area.
Fund�ManagementThere�was�significant�consolidation�withinfund�management�due�to�investors�redeemingtheir�funds�and�yields�falling�drastically.�Wesaw�pockets�of�hiring�came�within�privateequity�firms�and�family�offices,�which�wereattracted�to�starting�up�in�Singapore�becauseof�its�structure,�stability,�accessibility�to�marketand�opportunity�for�growth.�As�a�result,front-end�revenue�generators�with�buy�sideexperience�such�as�portfolio�managers,originators,�rainmakers�and�sales�positionswere�in�demand.�Most�candidates�requesteda�salary�increment�of�20%�when�moving�jobsas�they�sought�significant�increases�due�tothe�perceived�risk�of�changing�roles�in�anuncertain�market.
Transaction�&�Corporate�BankingIn�comparison�to�the�investment�bankingsector,�we�saw�more�stable�growth�intransaction�and�corporate�banking�in�2012.Many�firms�invested�in�high-performingand�experienced�bankers�who�were�able�tobring�in�more�revenue�and�maintain�goodrelationships�with�corporate�customers.�Thisstrategy�proved�so�successful�that�some�ofthe�teams�outperformed�their�2012�targets�byquarter�three.�For�these�mid-to-senior�levelpositions,�professionals�with�proficient�productknowledge�and�strong�client�networks�were�indemand.
Consumer�Banking�&�InsuranceThe�mood�was�fairly�conservative�in�thisspace,�with�most�banks�holding�back�on�theirexpansion�and�growth�plans.�As�a�result,most�roles�were�replacement�rather�thangrowth-focused�hires.�However,�insurancecompanies�did�hire�financial�planners�inresponse�to�the�new�fair�value�rules�to�beimplemented�in�2013.�In�consumer�banking,strong�personal�bankers�and�candidates�withan�understanding�of�the�e-channel�deliverywere�in�demand.
Wealth�Management�&�Private�BankingWe�saw�a�lot�of�changes�in�these�sectorsthroughout�the�year,�largely�due�to�severalteam�movements�and�restructuring�activities.With�new�regulations�from�global�authoritiesscrutinising�key�private�banking�hubs�suchas�Switzerland,�we�saw�some�of�the�fundsflowing�into�Singapore.�However,�banks�inSingapore�remained�focused�on�other�partsof�Asia.�As�a�result,�private�bankers�withhighly�portable�ultra-high-net-worth�clientele�inemerging�markets�such�as�Indonesia,�Thailandand�China,�remained�in�demand.�Some�highperformers�commanded�salary�increases�ashigh�as�50%�when�moving�jobs.
Market�&�Credit�RiskWe�saw�notable�demand�for�candidates�whopossessed�niche�skills�such�as�valuations,commodities�market�risk,�liquidity�risk�andstrong�quantitative�risk�analytics.�Due�to�theimplementation�of�Basel�III,�we�saw�demandeither�for�candidates�with�knowledge�inthis�area�or�professionals�from�the�UK�andAustralia�(as�they�were�the�early�adopters�ofthis�regulations).�Within�the�credit�risk�jobsmarket,�we�saw�some�expansion�headcount�inkey�areas�such�as�credit�valuation�adjustment(CVA),�regulatory�projects�and�onshoring�fromLondon.
Outlook�for�2013Overall,�we�foresee�the�Asian�wealth�marketwill�thrive�due�to�the�Asia�Pacific�marketcontinuing�to�host�the�fastest�growing�numberof�millionaires�globally.�This�will�further�promotethe�growth�of�the�private�banking�sector,�withmore�boutique�players�continuing�to�enter�themarket.�This�will�lead�to�increased�demand�forcompetent�private�bankers�with�an�active�listof�ultra-high-net-worth�clientele.
While�we�do�not�see�extensive�changes�in�theconsumer�banking�space,�we�expect�to�seemore�activity�should�the�Monetary�Authorityof�Singapore�(MAS)�decide�to�issue�moreQualifying�Full�Bank�(QFB)�licenses�to�foreignbanks.�The�insurance�sector�may�see�someturnover�given�the�new�fair�value�regulations,which�will�have�a�significant�impact�on�theindustry’s�operations.
New�private�equity�firms�and�family�officeswill�continue�to�enter�Singapore,�althoughthe�numbers�will�not�be�substantial.�With�theexception�of�experienced�private�bankersdrawing�in�larger�increments,�we�foresee�2013salary�levels�remaining�similar�to�2012.

OperationsThe�number�of�operations�positions�availabledecreased�as�most�banks�continued�tooffshore�their�operations�and�productionteams�to�India,�Manila�and�Poland�to�managecost.�Private�banking�and�commodities�drovethe�majority�of�hiring�due�to�Singapore�being�akey�regional�hub�for�these�sectors.�Candidateswith�5�-�10�years’�experience�in�a�relevantindustry�-�and�ideally�a�competitor�-�were�indemand.�Employers�offered�a�conservative10-15%�salary�increment�for�those�who�movejobs.
ProjectsAs�junior�production�roles�shifted�to�lower�costoffshore�centres,�we�saw�a�correspondingincrease�in�demand�for�change�experts.
In�particular,�there�was�an�emphasis�onstreamlining�processes�and�creating�leanerorganisations�in�2012.�Lean�and�Six�Sigmaqualifications,�stakeholder�management�skillsand�regulatory�projects�(involving�Dodd-Frankin�particular)�and�offshoring�experience�werein�demand.�International�banks�also�becamemore�willing�to�run�regional�and�even�globalchange�programmes�out�of�Singapore.

Our�specialist�engineering�division�focuseson�recruiting�engineering�professionals�atmid-to-senior�levels�for�a�wide�portfolio�ofcommercial�sectors,�including�chemicals,oil�and�gas,�pharmaceuticals,�electronics,aerospace�and�F&B�manufacturingorganisations.
Market�OverviewHiring�levels�remained�stable�in�2012,with�steady�growth�evident�in�the�oiland�gas,�chemicals�and�pharmaceuticalsectors.�Specifically,�the�start-up�of�a�fewpharmaceutical�manufacturing�plants�resultedin�hiring�at�all�levels�particularly�in�the�first�threequarters�of�the�year.�Quality�management�andmanufacturing�support�professionals,�such�asprocess�and�maintenance�engineers,�were�indemand.
The�most�critical�professionals�to�theseexpansions�were�Health,�Safety�and
Environmental�(HSE)�officers�who�businessessought�to�ensure�safe�manufacturingprocesses.�HSE-skilled�professionals�werein�such�demand�that�they�could�request�amuch�leaner�reporting�structure�being�directlyaccountable�to�head�offices�in�Europe�and�theUnited�States.�Companies�were�also�willingto�pay�a�premium�for�these�quality�HSE�hires,with�mid-level�positions�could�command�anaverage�monthly�salary�of�up�to�$6k.
We�saw�less�hiring�activity�in�the�automotiveand�aerospace�sectors.�This�was�largely�dueto�a�number�of�smaller�aerospace�companiesbeing�acquired�by�the�major�players�in�themarket.�As�a�result,�the�industry�was�left�withjust�five�major�conglomerates,�down�from�10last�year.
Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�growth�in�the�oil�and�gas,chemicals,�pharmaceuticals�and�food�&
beverage�(F&B)�manufacturing�sectors.Candidates�with�process�streamliningexperience,�such�as�Lean,�Six�Sigma�oroperations�excellence,�are�likely�to�be�indemand.�These�are�highly-qualified�individualswith�the�niche�technical�know-how�to�collectand�analyse�raw�data,�which�is�used�forproducing�solutions�to�reduce�waste�andincrease�efficiency.
Employers�will�seek�engineers�with�strongcommunication�skills�as�they�are�required�tocollaborate�more�closely�with�their�Europeancounterparts,�while�candidates�will�increasinglybe�attracted�by�regional�opportunities,especially�in�oil�and�gas,�as�most�of�theoperations�are�now�offshored�to�emergingcountries�such�as�Malaysia,�Vietnam�andIndonesia.�Due�to�competition�for�the�besttalent,�professionals�changing�jobs�are�likely�toreceive�10-15%�salary�increments�when�doingso.

Our�information�technology�division�specialisesin�the�recruitment�of�permanent�and�contractIT�and�telecommunications�professionalsacross�mid�to�senior�level�appointments.Sectors�we�recruit�for�include�FMCG,healthcare,�manufacturing,�financial�services,telecommunications�and�retail.
Market�OverviewCommerce�&�IndustryCompanies�were�generally�keen�to�hirebut�remained�cautious�about�doing�so�in2012�due�to�global�economic�uncertainty.Recruitment�activity�predominantly�tookplace�within�the�healthcare,�oil�and�gas�andtelecommunications�sectors,�with�occasionalhiring�in�the�FMCG�space.�However,�we�sawlittle�recruitment�in�the�manufacturing�andelectronics�sectors�due�to�market�conditionsremaining�challenging.
Most�hiring�that�took�place�was�due�to�majorprojects�and�foreign�firms�establishing�theirbusinesses�in�Singapore,�which�is�a�key�hubfor�most�regional�headquarters.�We�sawdemand�for�professionals�with�experience�ofinfrastructure�and�data�and�cloud�storage.
Apart�from�salaries,�most�job�seekers�wereprimarily�motivated�by�other�factors�-�such�aslearning�and�development,�training,�growthopportunities�and�work-life�balance.�Wherethese�incentives�were�on�offer,�candidateswere�willing�to�accept�a�salary�increments�of5%�when�moving.�However,�those�with�veryniche�skill�sets�(such�as�cloud�computing)commanded�higher�increments,�with�somereceiving�up�to�15%.
Employers�typically�struggled�to�findexperienced�local�candidates.�As�a�result,many�were�prepared�to�consider�foreignprofessionals�with�an�Asian�businessbackground.
Financial�ServicesAs�a�budget-management�measure,�technicalroles�(such�as�developers,�testers�andinfrastructure�engineers)�were�relocated�tooffshore�locations�such�as�the�Philippines,Malaysia,�China�and�India.�As�a�result,candidates�with�client�management�skillsets�(such�as�business�analytics�and�projectmanagement)�were�most�in�demand.�Tobalance�the�increased�pressure�on�headcountbudgets,�more�companies�recruited�ona�contract�basis�as�they�sought�to�coverworkloads.
As�major�banks�underwent�global�businessinfrastructure�realignments,�skilled�networking,infrastructure,�architects�and�engineerswere�in�demand.�We�saw�specific�demandfor�candidates�specialising�in�fixed�incomeand�commodities�products,�due�to�oil�andgas�companies�establishing�energy�andcommodities�trading�desks�in�Singapore.However,�sourcing�candidates�who�possessedboth�niche�technical�skill�sets�and�financialmarkets�domain�knowledge�provedchallenging.
Contract�-�IT�Banking�&�CommerceWithin�the�financial�services�space,�therewas�demand�for�developers,�testers�andinfrastructure�engineers�on�a�contractbasis.�We�also�saw�temporary�vacancies�forbusiness�analysts�and�project�managers.Candidates�with�financial�knowledge�andmiddleware�experience�(with�technologiessuch�as�Tibco�and�Websphere)�were�highlysought-after�for�these�positions.
Across�the�commerce�sectors,�IT�contractorswere�in�demand�by�the�end�users,telecommunications�and�large�IT�systemintegrators,�who�required�niche�contractingskill�sets�for�specific�projects.�Employers�inthe�oil�and�gas�and�manufacturing�sectorsin�particular,�actively�sought�contractors�withbusiness�management�software�skills�such�asSAP.
Outlook�for�2013We�saw�relatively�low�job�levels�in�thetelecommunications�sector�in�the�second�halfof�2012�due�to�market�uncertainty.�Moving�into2013,�we�expect�the�market�to�improve,�withorganisations�re-launching�key�projects�thathave�been�kept�on�hold.
Sectors�likely�to�expand�and�increaseheadcount�will�include�telecommunications,oil�and�gas,�healthcare,�FMCG,�as�well�asresearch�and�development.�This�will�potentiallyresult�in�a�number�of�job�opportunities�for�ITprofessionals.
Employers�unable�to�match�salaryexpectations�of�job�seekers�will�need�toattract�them�instead�by�offering�learning�anddevelopment�and�good�work-life�balance.
We�also�expect�local�banks�to�kick�off�projectsin�quarters�two�and�three,�but�they�are�unlikelyto�recruit�in�significant�volumes.�Consumerbanking�firms�will�continue�to�invest�in�mobileand�online�banking�platforms,�which�is�likely�tocreate�demand�for�IT�professionals�specialisingin�these�areas.

Our�dedicated�legal�&�compliance�divisionin�Singapore�specialises�in�the�permanentand�contract�placements�of�qualified�lawprofessionals�and�experienced�compliancecandidates�across�international�firms,�financialinstitutions�and�multinational�corporations.
Market�OverviewPrivate�PracticeJob�levels�were�lower�in�2012�than�2011.�Dealflows�decreased�due�to�a�more�challengingglobal�economy,�while�firms�faced�increasedindustry�competition�-�which�further�erodedtheir�market�share.�In�addition,�law�firms�thatapplied�for�the�Qualifying�Foreign�Law�Practice(QFLP)�licence�preferred�to�delay�major�hiringplans�till�early�2013,�as�they�await�the�outcomeof�these�applications.
Despite�these�main�trends,�law�firms�continuedto�recruit�top-tier�lawyers�with�3�-�5�years�PQEand�corporate,�capital�markets,�arbitration,shipping�and/or�energy�experience.�Lawfirms�actively�sought�to�build�their�arbitrationpractices,�driven�by�the�government’semphasis�on�promoting�Singapore�as�aregional�arbitration�hub.
With�international�law�firms�preferring�to�hireCommonwealth�and�US-qualified�lawyers�withprior�legal�experience�in�Asia,�professionalsrelocating�directly�from�the�UK,�Australia�andUS�found�it�increasingly�difficult�to�secure�rolesin�Singapore.�Salary�levels�continued�to�risefor�job�movers,�although�increments�varieddepending�on�the�size�and�specialisation�ofthe�firm.
Commerce�In-houseIn-house�legal�job�levels�within�MNCs�wererelatively�high�throughout�2012�as�companiessought�to�reduce�legal�expenditure�bylimiting�their�usage�of�external�law�firmsand�increasing�headcount�in�their�legaldepartments.�Commercial�lawyers�with�threeto�six�years’�experience�in�contract�negotiationand�drafting�skills�were�in�the�highest�demand.
Singapore-qualified�lawyers�were�preferredover�their�common-law�and�US-qualifiedcounterparts�for�the�majority�of�in-house�roles.
Telecommunications,�IT,�energy�andconstruction�companies�sought�regionalcontract�managers�due�to�increasingtransaction�volumes�across�Asia’s�emergingmarkets.�Smaller�MNCs�in�the�manufacturing,engineering�and�IT�sectors�also�hiredstandalone�legal�positions�based�in�Singaporeto�cover�the�ASEAN�markets.�Typically,candidates�with�five�years�of�in-housecommercial�legal�experience�were�in�demand,with�a�strong�preference�for�Commonwealthlawyers�with�regional�experience.
Financial�Services�-�Legal�&ComplianceThe�tightening�regulatory�environmentsurrounding�financial�services�led�to�increaseddemand�for�compliance�professionalsparticularly�anti-money�laundering�(AML)�andfinancial�crime�specialists.
While�private�banks�were�the�biggestemployers�of�compliance�professionals,�manyboutique�wealth�management�companiesalso�increased�their�compliance�headcountin�quarter�four�to�prepare�themselves�for�newtax�regulations�planned�for�mid-2013.�Assetmanagement�companies�with�more�than$250m�assets-under-management�(AUM)were�also�required�by�law�to�have�a�dedicatedcompliance�officer,�which�led�to�a�hiring�spikeacross�the�industry.
However,�legal�recruitment�levels�werelow�across�the�financial�services�sector�-especially�in�the�private�banks.�AlthoughISDA�negotiators�remained�in�demand,�hiringvolumes�were�lower�than�previous�years.
Professionals�in�high�demand�areas�-�such�asAML�-�received�salary�increases�of�up�to�20%when�moving�jobs.�However,�the�majority�of
legal�and�compliance�candidates�generallyreceived�rises�of�10-15%.
Outlook�for�2013Overall,�23�foreign�law�firms�await�the�outcomeof�the�QFLP�licence�awards,�which�will�allowthem�to�practise�corporate�law�in�Singapore.We�expect�those�awarded�the�licence�toincrease�headcount,�with�lawyers�with�three�tofive�years’�experience�will�be�in�demand.�Withgrowth�anticipated�in�arbitration,�insurance,private�wealth�clients�and�shipping,�partnerswith�expertise�in�these�areas�and�portableclient�portfolios�will�be�highly�sought-after�in2013.
Within�commercial�businesses,�we�expectdemand�for�in-house�lawyers�and�contractmanagers�to�increase.�With�MNCs�placingincreasing�importance�on�their�Asiabusinesses,�we�expect�commercial�transactionvolumes�to�keep�rising,�creating�mid-to-seniorlevel�roles�based�in�Singapore�to�coverthe�ASEAN�countries.�There�will�also�bedemand�for�commercial�lawyers�withtransaction,�intellectual�property,�and�complexcross-border�contractual�experience.
With�new�regulations�coming�into�effect,compliance�will�remain�a�key�hiring�area-�especially�in�private�banking�and�assetmanagement.�As�a�result,�there�will�be�steadydemand�across�the�industry�for�complianceofficers�with�good�communications�skills�andstrong�regulatory�knowledge.

Geophysicists�with�strong�interpretation�skillsand�quality�improvement�specialists�weresought�for�mid-to-senior�level�opportunitiesin�both�operators�and�specialist�servicecompanies.�With�the�launch�of�new�projects,reservoir�engineers�proficient�in�both�studiesand�simulation�were�also�highly�sought-after.While�strong�academic�qualifications�werea�prerequisite�for�operator�roles,�candidatespossessing�both�regional�knowledge�andexperience�were�favoured�for�these�dynamicopportunities.
Candidates�were�aware�of�their�market�valueand�held�realistic�salary�expectations�based�ontheir�experience�and�individual�skill�sets.�Whenmaking�a�career�move,�professionals�wouldconsider�all�aspects�of�the�job�opportunitybefore�making�a�decision�from�salary�andbenefits,�career�growth�and�the�opportunity�towork�overseas�to�the�stability�of�the�company.

Outlook�for�2013We�anticipate�job�levels�to�remain�high�and�atsimilar�levels�to�those�in�2012.�While�varyingsignificantly�by�organisation�and�geographicallocation,�most�companies�are�likely�to�securecrucial�investments,�following�through�withexpansion�plans�and�moving�forward�at�a�fastpace.

Financial�ServicesAlthough�we�saw�a�consistent�increasein�new�hires�through�the�year,�there�werecomparatively�more�replacement�roles.Employers�were�relatively�cautious�due�touncertainty�in�the�global�markets.�Portfolioanalytics,�portfolio�management�andmarketing�analytics�professionals�were�indemand,�with�candidates�with�technical�skillsand�a�strong�background�in�SAS�modellingsought-after�for�these�positions.�With�theEurozone�crisis,�banks�had�to�protect�theirreputation�externally�and�maintain�internalbranding�to�promote�staff�retention.�This�ledto�an�increased�demand�for�candidates�froma�public�relations�and/or�communicationsbackground.�Employers�were�open�tocandidates�outside�of�banking�due�to�thetransferability�of�these�skill�sets.
Travel�&�HospitalityThere�was�an�increase�in�digital�marketingvacancies,�which�can�largely�be�attributed

Professional�ServicesWith�more�offshore�information�providersstarting�up�in�Singapore,�we�saw�a�notableincrease�in�job�levels.�Organisations�wereprimarily�looking�for�account,�businessdevelopment�and�sales�managers.�Due�tothe�lack�of�strong�sales�professionals�inSingapore,�employers�offered�very�attractivecommission�structures�to�assure�candidates�ofthe�company’s�stability�and�growth�potential.Positions�were�only�open�to�locals�withSoutheast�Asian�business�experience�in�morethan�one�country.�They�were�also�required�tohave�business�development�skills.�Candidateswho�were�bilingual�in�both�Mandarin�andBahasa�Indonesia,�were�in�demand.

risk-averse�to�making�a�bad�hire.�Generally,sales�professionals�required�a�10-20%�salaryincrease�to�move�jobs.
TelecommunicationsIn�the�telecommunications�sector,�we�sawnotable�demand�in�for�channel�developmentand�customer�relationship�managers�anddigital�branding�and�in-store�communicationsprofessionals.�These�roles�enhanced�thepurchasing�experience�in�the�retail-centricAsian�marketplace.�E-commerce�continuedto�be�a�key�priority�for�employers,�whichled�to�demand�for�online�channel,�vendormanagement�and�customer�servicecandidates.

EAWhile overall job levels remained consistent with 2011, there was growth in some specific industry sectors in 2012. Multinational companies continued to transition to more westernised business environments, which created an increase in career opportunities for bilingual, internationally-minded professionals with industry-specific experience. However, sourcing these professionals remained challenging, especially at junior manager to mid-career levels, due to limited supply and intense competition for candidates with these skill sets.
As Korea ratified separate free trade agreements with both Europe and the US in 2012, we noted increased interest among multinational companies (e.g. international law firms) considering market expansion or entry into the country. As this trend continues, we anticipate a limited but steady flow of new market entrants in 2013.
While firms generally did not increase headcount in 2012, many did look to up-skill their teams when making replacement hires rather than recruiting like-for-like. This was particularly noticeable in accounting and finance, where firms sought professionals able to also perform strategic duties (such as planning and analysis) rather than purely transactional responsibilities, which were moved offshore.
Although consumer spending declined in 2012, demand for marketing and sales professionals in FMCG, retail, luxury and other consumer product companies remained consistent. As firms sought to differentiate themselves from their competitors despite receiving extremely limited new headcount approval, these businesses often hired professionals with specialist digital marketing or CRM experience when replacing staff who left. As a result, demand for generalist marketing professionals decreased.
We saw a slight increase in recruitment within IT-related businesses as both new and established companies looked to add new headcount. As larger companies adopted technologies, such as virtualisation and big data management, demand for sales specialists in these areas remained strong. We expect salaries in the technology space to increase at higher rates than other industries in 2013 as companies compete for the limited professionals with this experience.
Despite these pockets of activity, overall hiring levels are likely to remain consistent in 2013, with Korean businesses continuing to globalise. As a result, the majority of salary levels should also remain stable. However, a shortage of internationally-minded professionals means these candidates are likely to receive relatively high salary increases when moving roles. Employers will continue to focus on recruiting specialists rather than generalists as they seek to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Following the presidential election of early 2012, the political climate became more stable in Taiwan and this created a more positive business environment in the country. Cross-strait ties between Taiwan and China continued to strengthen, particularly after Taipei and Beijing signed an agreement to establish a direct clearing system for the currencies of both markets.
While this has yet to formally be implemented, the potential of the Taiwan dollar and Chinese yuan being converted directly and bypassing the US dollar marks a significant move to foster closer trade ties and improve investment relations. As a result, we are likely to see more businesses setting-up and expanding into the country and job opportunities being generated as a result.
As the world’s biggest contract manufacturers of semiconductors and laptop computers, Taiwan’s manufacturing, IT and technology sectors are traditionally very strong. This continued to be the case throughout 2012, when overseas sales of manufacturing products accounted for more than 67% of Taiwan’s economy. As an export-dependent country, market conditions in the country were inevitably affected by the global economic slowdown and slower growth rate in China.
Within the technology space, there were moderate levels of hiring activity in 2012. Companies continued to recruit sales professionals with proven track records and strong product knowledge to generate revenue. Leaders within the technology industry also actively sought product managers and pre-sales engineers with client-facing skills.
While general hiring sentiment was conservative, particularly within the banking and financial services sector, recruitment levels remained relatively high within consumer and retail banking. This was largely driven by banks seeking a more significant market share as they looked to set up more branches. New entrants to the market, such as asset management houses, also required key professionals, in particular internal auditors and legal and compliance specialists, to help them start up.
While we saw relatively little demand for sales and marketing specialists, a number of retail luxury companies recruited qualified boutique sales professionals to meet growing demand from expanding retail store networks and maintain or grow their brand awareness.
With closer cross-strait ties and a strong reliance on China for its export market, Taiwan’s economic growth will continue to be highly dependent on the economic development of China. However, the government has begun negotiations on other deals, such as a free trade agreement with Singapore. If successful, these are likely to boost economic growth and generate more job opportunities for professionals in the country.

However,�recruitment�levels�remainedrelatively�high�in�the�consumer�and�retailbanking�sectors.�This�was�due�to�banksexpanding�their�market�share�in�a�moveto�capture�the�growing�consumer�wealth.Within�front�office,�roles�being�hired�for�weremostly�revenue-generating�positions�such�assales�managers�and�relationship�managers.Professionals�with�strong�sales�track�recordsand�a�wide�network�of�clients�were�highlysought-after�as�a�result.
A�number�of�financial�institutions�hired�seniormanagers�with�strong�leadership�skills�whowere�able�to�transform�their�businesses�intoa�more�prominent�player�in�an�increasinglycompetitive�environment.�For�newer�firmsentering�the�market,�employers�soughtprofessionals�with�start-up�experience.
Within�the�middle�and�back�office�space,employers�were�keen�to�recruit�legal�andcompliance�professionals,�especially�thosewith�relevant�industry�backgrounds�such�asasset�management�and�consumer�banking.In�the�second�half�of�the�year,�with�the�bankstrying�to�expand�their�wealth�management�and
retail�businesses,�we�saw�a�focus�on�hiringsales�managers,�relationship�managers,�wealthmanagers�and�consumer�managers.
Some�asset�management�companiesexpanded�their�sales�teams,�particularly�withinthe�channel�sales�space.�This�was�in�line�withcapturing�the�increasing�consumer�wealth�andselling�to�individual�customers.�In�addition,new�companies�attempting�to�break�intothe�market�led�to�a�subsequent�hiring�of�keypositions�such�as�internal�auditors,�legal�andcompliance�professionals�to�meet�regulatoryrequirements.
Senior�and�experienced�professionals�weremore�cautious�about�changing�jobs�in�viewof�an�uncertain�market,�while�junior�levelemployees�were�more�willing�to�move,particularly�to�foreign�companies,�for�bettercareer�advancement�opportunities�orinternational�exposure.
Most�professionals�received�salary�increasesaveraging�around�3-5%,�with�relationshipmanagers�receiving�the�highest�pay�rises�fortheir�revenue-generating�ability.�Incrementswere�typically�10-20%�for�most�candidateslooking�to�change�jobs.�However,�for�criticalpositions�such�as�senior�sales,�productmanagement,�legal�and�compliance�roles,professionals�were�getting�up�to�30%�or�morefor�their�niche�skills�if�they�chose�to�move.
Outlook�for�2013While�we�expect�both�employers�andprofessionals�to�remain�cautious�aboutrecruiting�or�moving�jobs�in�light�of�thecontinued�economic�uncertainty,�recruitmentactivity�is�likely�to�remain�steady�forrelationship�managers�and�wealth�managersin�the�consumer�banking�segment.�Bankswill�attempt�to�gain�a�larger�market�shareby�expanding�their�branch�network�andasset�management�companies�will�try�andstrengthen�their�channel�sales�teams,�leadingto�the�generation�of�more�job�opportunities.

dFollowing the election of a new government, a more stable political climate and recovery from the 2011 mass floodings, foreign firms became more confident about investing in the country. The result was steady growth in the Thai economy, which was also prompted by various other factors – including the government’s economic stimulus measures, increased domestic consumption and a competitive Thai export industry.
These encouraging developments were reflected in the jobs market. Export manufacturing was the second highest foreign capital-generating sector in Thailand after tourism as a result of the high demand for Thai goods around the world. There was a strong level of hiring activity in the manufacturing sector, especially in the automotive segment, due to further investment growth and rising GDP in Thailand. Engineering, operations, supply chain and logistics, quality assurance and R&D professionals were particularly in demand, with English language proficiency essential for all roles.
The government invested heavily in technology, infrastructure and construction projects and these were key drivers of economic growth. As engineering and construction companies, in particular, sought to assist with these implementations, they hired project engineers, mechanical engineers and project managers in notable volumes. Due to a rise in income and consumer spending, we also saw increased job opportunities for marketing professionals with digital and online skills, brand and product managers and sales specialists within the FMCG, retail and hospitality sectors.
With Thailand poised to be one of ten countries in a single Asean Economic Community (AEC) (scheduled to be formally implemented by early 2015), it is likely to become better integrated in the region and enjoy a more competitive business position. As part of the AEC, Thailand will have access to an integrated total consumer base of over 600 million potential customers. As a result, we anticipate significant growth in the tourism and hospitality sectors providing a boost to the Thai economy and jobs market. We also anticipate continued demand for HR, IT, sales and marketing, manufacturing and engineering and supply chain professionals over the next 12 months.
However, skills shortages are likely to remain a key challenge for businesses in 2013. Employers will need to consider how they can attract high-calibre candidates to help drive productivity and revenue when hiring. Employers should also aim to provide training programmes to upskill their workforce and develop a strong talent pipeline, while also implementing effective talent retention measures.

Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2012Robert Walters Global Salary Survey 2013

With inflation continuing to average 7% annually, the economy was a key concern in Vietnam in 2012. In response to the challenges presented by this issue, the government unveiled a new “three pillar” economic programme in early 2012 aimed at restructuring public investment, state-owned enterprises and the banking sector. Both organisations and professionals remained cautious about the jobs market as they observed these economic changes. Professionals working within the FMCG, healthcare, industrial and chemicals industries were particularly sought-after due to the global financial crisis and its impact on the banking sector. We saw notable demand for accounting professionals with ACCA or CPA qualifications at all levels. This demand was largely as a result of the rapid growth of organisations in Vietnam as these new businesses sought to comply with financial regulations. Sales and marketing professionals and HR candidates were also highly sought-after as companies concentrated on hiring professionals who could generate revenue.
In addition, supply chain and engineering professionals were in demand in the first half of the year, particularly within the technical, engineering and manufacturing sector. In particular, companies recruited project engineers and production, procurement, inventory and quality managers as they sought to improve the efficiency of their factories. However, we saw demand decrease in the second half of 2012 as production numbers fell.
In line with high inflation rates, professionals typically received salary increases of 15-25% when moving jobs as employers competed to attract the best talent.
By comparison, job levels were relatively low within the financial services, IT and property organisations as these employers started to implement headcount freezes due to the uncertain global economic environment. Most of these firms instead focused on maintaining and preserving their existing revenue and customer base.
Although economic growth in Vietnam remains moderate with foreign direct investment (FDI) falling year-on-year, the country remains a popular market for foreign investors. The country attracted nearly US$1.7 billion in FDI in November 2012, up 8% from the same period the previous year. Given these developments, we expect job levels to increase in 2013 as the economy begins to stabilise.

Companies�were�also�particularly�keen�torecruit�experienced�system�engineers.
Firms�increasingly�evolved�into�solutionsproviders�and�moved�beyond�simply�offeringproducts.�This�required�roles�such�as�accountmanagers,�channel�sales,�consumer�insidesales,�product�marketing�managers�and�brandproduct�sales�managers�to�assist�in�generatingrevenue�and�differentiating�products�andservices.
Salary�levels�rose�by�7-10%�year-on-year�inline�with�inflation.�Professionals�who�movedjobs�received�increments�of�15-20%�duringthe�first�half�of�the�year�due�to�higher�demandfor�recruitment.�However,�this�figure�dippedto�10-15%�in�the�second�half�of�the�year�asa�result�of�slower�job�movement.�Companiesalso�offered�better�compensation�and�benefitspackages�to�retain�staff.

ASentiment among employers and job seekers was relatively positive in 2012, with vacancy levels actually increasing in many cases. Although global market uncertainty presented challenges in the banking and financial services sector, we saw a relatively high volume of opportunities in other areas of the market.
In particular, job levels in the engineering and natural resources sector were higher in 2012 than 2011 – with positions in the mining, power generation, water and construction industries on the rise. We saw specific demand for strong project managers with a proven background of delivering according to strict budgetary constraints and tight timescales.
The accountancy jobs market across commercial businesses was also relatively positive, with a greater number of vacancies available than at any point during the previous two years. Pharmaceutical, IT and FMCG companies were particularly active in the market, although SME-sized businesses were especially keen to recruit finance professionals. Both permanent and contract HR job levels were relatively high as businesses sought to implement new systems (e.g. payroll and ERP systems) as they looked to reduce costs. With both private practice and in-house legal vacancies on the rise, most demand in the legal sector was for qualified attorneys with 3-8 years’ PQE.
However, the banking and financial services jobs market remained more challenging. In particular, there was relatively little hiring within both large international and smaller local investment banks, which were typically focused on business-critical middle office recruitment. However, there was greater demand in other sectors in the market. For example, job levels within retail banking, insurance and private wealth businesses were relatively high.
While most salary levels remained stable during the year, strong competition for the best talent drove these up in some instances. Because of this, most professionals were receiving increases of around 10-15% when moving roles. Overall market rates also increased in a number of instances. For example, management accountants with 3-5 years’ experience may receive an annual salary of R550k upwards (compared to R500k in 2012) and a tax professional who is 2-4 years’ PQE R550k upwards (compared to R500k in 2012). Similarly, an employee relations manager can expect a salary of at least R450k in 2013 (compared to R400k in 2012), while a recruitment manager can expect R550k (compared to R450k in 2012).
Despite undoubted challenges, there continues to be a fair degree of optimism in the South African jobs market. In particular, core finance professionals are likely to continue to be in demand, while an increase in cross-border transactions, changing local and international legislation and increased regulatory pressure, will lead to legal professionals being sought-after both in private practice and in-house markets.

The�majority�of�demand�continued�to�be�atthe�middle�management�level�(i.e.�financeprofessionals�with�2�-�6�years’�PQE)�for�corefinance�roles.�In�particular,�finance�managers,financial�accountants�and�managementaccountants�were�all�sought-after.�The�mainreason�for�this�is�that�SMEs�were�most�activein�the�jobs�market�-�these�businesses�typicallylooked�to�hire�professionals�with�a�moregeneralist�skill�set.�Overall,�there�were�fewervacancies�at�the�senior�level�as�professionalsin�these�roles�remained�hesitant�to�move�jobsin�the�current�market.
With�employers�competing�for�the�bestcandidates,�most�received�increases�of�around10-15%�when�moving�roles.�Overall�marketrates�also�increased�in�a�number�of�instances.For�example,�management�accountants�with

Market�OverviewThe�banking�and�financial�services�jobsmarket�remained�challenging.�In�particular,relatively�little�hiring�occurred�within�both�largeinternational�and�smaller�local�investmentbanks,�which�typically�focused�purely�onbusiness-critical�middle�office�recruitment.However,�there�was�greater�demand�in�othersectors�in�the�market.�For�example,�job�levelswithin�retail�banking,�insurance�and�privatewealth�businesses�were�relatively�high.

While�job�levels�were�relatively�low�in�the�largerinvestment�banks,�we�saw�an�increase�inAfrica-focused�roles�as�businesses�soughtexpansion�across�the�continent.�Specifically,they�were�looking�for�experienced�hires�inrisk,�finance,�coverage�banking�and�audit.Relevant�country�experience�was�especiallysought-after.

Outlook�for�2013The�banking�and�financial�services�jobsmarket�is�likely�to�remain�challenging�in�2013,although�we�expect�the�retail�arms�of�thelarger�banks�to�continue�performing�relativelywell�and�drive�a�significant�proportion�ofrecruitment�demand.�Regulatory�knowledgeand�experience�will�remain�sought-after,with�banks�also�likely�to�bolster�their�middleand�back�office�control�functions�as�theyseek�to�reduce�losses�occurring�from�tradingtransactions.

Outlook�for�2013We�do�not�anticipate�any�significant�changesin�the�jobs�market,�meaning�most�demandwill�continue�to�be�on�a�temporary�andcontract�basis.�Specialists�will�remain�mostsought-after.�In�particular,�with�the�B-BBEE
codes�currently�under�review�and�potentiallysubject�to�change�during�the�course�of�2013,this�may�lead�to�an�increase�in�demand�forcandidates�with�B-BBEE�experience.
