Welcome

We are delighted to say that the year just passed, proved to be extremely encouraging from a recruitment perspec-
tive.	The	recruitment	industry	showed	a	notable	level	of	increased	activity.	Again	the	sentiment	could	have	been	
described	as	optimistic	and	there	certainly	seemed	to	be	a	sense	that	“the	worst”	was	well	behind	us.		

We	can	only	speak	from	our	own	experience	but	Ireland	Inc’s	reputation	particularly	in	the	US	seems	to	have	been	
well	and	truly	restored.	Ireland	remains	a	very	attractive	location	for	multinationals	looking	to	set	up	operations	
overseas	and	more	particularly,	a	preferential	market	in	which	to	headquarter	their	European	business.	We	are	
delighted	to	say	that	we	supported	a	number	of	existing	and	start	up	multinationals	with	high	volume	recruitment	
engagements	as	well	as	one	off	niche	hiring	requirements.

To	back	up	the	increase	in	the	number	of	multinational	recruitment	assignments	that	we	handled	the	IDA	an-
nounced	in	January	2012	a	jump	of	almost	20	per	cent	in	foreign	direct	investment	(FDI)	during	2011	which	core-
lated	in	13,000	new	jobs	being	created.	IDA	Ireland	said	there	was	a	record	number	of	148	new	investments	won	
during	the	year	across	all	industry	segments.	Most	encouragingly,	there	was	an	increase	of	30%	in	the	number	of	
companies	investing	in	Ireland	for	the	first	time.

That	said,	the	domestic	market	here	still	remains	“sluggish”.	Specific	markets	that	continue	to	face	challenges	due	
to	the	continuing	drop	in	consumer	spending	are	Hospitality	and	Catering,	Retail,	Manufacturing	and	Construction.	

We	have	made	a	number	of	changes	to	our	own	business	during	2011.	As	is	our	company	policy	we	have	continued	
to	grow	the	company	by	25%	year	on	year	both	in	terms	of	headcount	and	revenue.	We	are	delighted	to	say	that	
we	strengthened	our	team	with	a	number	of	strategic	hires	into	the	IT	and	Insurance	&	Actuarial	Markets	in	order	
to	meet	the	demand	of	our	clients.	We	again	moved	to	larger	offices	that	will	allow	us	to	continue	to	grow	over	the	
next	12	months.	We	will	be	rolling	out	our	new	website	together	with	our	rebrand	towards	the	end	of	Q1	2012.	
Watch this space!

I	would	like	to	thank	all	our	existing	clients	for	their	continued	support.	We	look	forward	to	working	with	you	closely	
and	supporting	you	with	any	hiring	engagements	that	you	may	have	during	the	coming	year.	Finally	feel	free	to	con-
tact	any	of	our	team	regarding	any	questions	or	queries	that	you	may	have	on	our	2011/2012	Salary	Survey.

Warm regards,



Donal	O’Brien

Outlook 2012


On	a	macro-level,	2011	was	very	much	a	year	of	two	halves,	particularly	with	regards	to	sentiment.		The	first	half	of	
the	year	showed	improved	economic	figures	and	predictions,	leading	to	a	belief	by	many	that	the	corner	Ireland	has	
been	looking	to	turn	for	some	time	now	had	finally	arrived.		A	Eurozone	crisis	compounded	by	actions,	and	in	most	
cases	inactions,	from	European	leaders	coupled	with	less	than	favourable	Irish	exchequer	tax	returns	dealt	a	signifi-
cant	blow	to	the	summertime	optimism.

The	start	of	2012	sees	the	uncertainty	that	was	prevalent	for	the	second	half	of	2011	still	very	much	in	place	in	the	
Irish	and	world	economies.		Were	the	Eurozone	matter	to	be	resolved	successfully	and	over	a	short	period	of	time,	
it	would	give	a	real	boost	to	the	economic	outlook.		The	US	economy	did	show	signs	of	recovery	toward	the	sec-
ond	half	of	2011.	This	gives	us	real	optimism	that	there	may	be	a	general	improvement	in	the	world	economy.	This	
would	undoubtedly	have	a	positive	knock-on	effect	for	the	export-reliant	Irish	economy.

A	European-wide	piece	of	legislation,	the	Agency	Workers	Directive	(AWD),	could	have	a	big	impact	for	the	recruit-
ment	industry	in	Ireland	in	2012.		This	is	very	much	dependent	on	how	it	is	legislated	for	by	the	Dáil.		There	is	every	
possibility	that	it	could	lead	to	a	decrease	in	demand	for	temporary	workers	to	be	replaced	by	an	increase	in	the	
number	of	permanent	roles	created	causing	a	squeeze	upwards	in	permanent	salaries.	Further,	this	increase	may	
not	equal	the	amount	of	temporary	roles	which	potentially	might	be	lost,	possibly	resulting	in	a	reduction	in	the	
number	of	people	employed.	

The recruitment market, although not shielded from the marco-economic outlook, appears to be in good health
facing	into	2012.		Most	sectors	are	still	faced	with	the	challenges	of	identifying	key	resources,	with	professionals	
possessing	specialised	skill-sets	as	much	in	demand	as	before.	According	to	IBEC,	in	its	survey	of	Irish	CEOs,	ap-
proximately	one	quarter	(23%)	of	companies	expect	to	see	increases	in	salaries	in	2012,	with	just	5%	anticipating	a	
reduction	in	salaries.		These	results	reflect	Abrivia	Recruitment’s	experience	and	feedback	for	the	year	ahead	too	
with	some	sectors	like	IT,	likely	to	see	its	consistent	upward	trend	continue	unabated	over	the	next	twelve	months.

  • 3. Welcome We are delighted to say that the year just passed, proved to be extremely encouraging from a recruitment perspec- tive. The recruitment industry showed a notable level of increased activity. Again the sentiment could have been described as optimistic and there certainly seemed to be a sense that “the worst” was well behind us. We can only speak from our own experience but Ireland Inc’s reputation particularly in the US seems to have been well and truly restored. Ireland remains a very attractive location for multinationals looking to set up operations overseas and more particularly, a preferential market in which to headquarter their European business. We are delighted to say that we supported a number of existing and start up multinationals with high volume recruitment engagements as well as one off niche hiring requirements. To back up the increase in the number of multinational recruitment assignments that we handled the IDA an- nounced in January 2012 a jump of almost 20 per cent in foreign direct investment (FDI) during 2011 which core- lated in 13,000 new jobs being created. IDA Ireland said there was a record number of 148 new investments won during the year across all industry segments. Most encouragingly, there was an increase of 30% in the number of companies investing in Ireland for the first time. That said, the domestic market here still remains “sluggish”. Specific markets that continue to face challenges due to the continuing drop in consumer spending are Hospitality and Catering, Retail, Manufacturing and Construction. We have made a number of changes to our own business during 2011. As is our company policy we have continued to grow the company by 25% year on year both in terms of headcount and revenue. We are delighted to say that we strengthened our team with a number of strategic hires into the IT and Insurance & Actuarial Markets in order to meet the demand of our clients. We again moved to larger offices that will allow us to continue to grow over the next 12 months. We will be rolling out our new website together with our rebrand towards the end of Q1 2012. Watch this space! I would like to thank all our existing clients for their continued support. We look forward to working with you closely and supporting you with any hiring engagements that you may have during the coming year. Finally feel free to con- tact any of our team regarding any questions or queries that you may have on our 2011/2012 Salary Survey. Warm regards, Donal O’Brien Managing Director
  • 4. Outlook 2012 On a macro-level, 2011 was very much a year of two halves, particularly with regards to sentiment. The first half of the year showed improved economic figures and predictions, leading to a belief by many that the corner Ireland has been looking to turn for some time now had finally arrived. A Eurozone crisis compounded by actions, and in most cases inactions, from European leaders coupled with less than favourable Irish exchequer tax returns dealt a signifi- cant blow to the summertime optimism. The start of 2012 sees the uncertainty that was prevalent for the second half of 2011 still very much in place in the Irish and world economies. Were the Eurozone matter to be resolved successfully and over a short period of time, it would give a real boost to the economic outlook. The US economy did show signs of recovery toward the sec- ond half of 2011. This gives us real optimism that there may be a general improvement in the world economy. This would undoubtedly have a positive knock-on effect for the export-reliant Irish economy. A European-wide piece of legislation, the Agency Workers Directive (AWD), could have a big impact for the recruit- ment industry in Ireland in 2012. This is very much dependent on how it is legislated for by the Dáil. There is every possibility that it could lead to a decrease in demand for temporary workers to be replaced by an increase in the number of permanent roles created causing a squeeze upwards in permanent salaries. Further, this increase may not equal the amount of temporary roles which potentially might be lost, possibly resulting in a reduction in the number of people employed. The recruitment market, although not shielded from the marco-economic outlook, appears to be in good health facing into 2012. Most sectors are still faced with the challenges of identifying key resources, with professionals possessing specialised skill-sets as much in demand as before. According to IBEC, in its survey of Irish CEOs, ap- proximately one quarter (23%) of companies expect to see increases in salaries in 2012, with just 5% anticipating a reduction in salaries. These results reflect Abrivia Recruitment’s experience and feedback for the year ahead too with some sectors like IT, likely to see its consistent upward trend continue unabated over the next twelve months. 2012 Abrivia Recruitment www.abrivia.ie

This could be down to the increased volume of roles Financial Controller 65k - 95K 65K - 95K 55K - 85K 50K - 85K in the market and the heightened competition from clients for quality qualified Reporting candidates.

The knock on effect of in- Loan Administrator 24K-35K 25K-37K 22K-32K 22K-32K creased recruitment activity in 2011 and the latter half of 2010 also means that Mortgage Administrator 22K-28K 22K-30K 22K-28K 22K-28K certain candidate profiles have become more difficult to source, and as more financial entities begin to hire again this year the competition for top talent is likely Customer Service 23K-30K 24K-31K 23K-28K 23K-28K to increase.

Head of Compliance 95K-165K 100K-165K 80K-105K 80K-105K Across almost every level and industry, remuneration and benchmarking is being more closely examined with salaries for individuals in key positions seeing a definite Snr Compliance 78K-93K 87K-96K 60K-80K 60K-80K increase. At more senior levels within professional services, strong regulatory / en- Manager forcement / risk advisory candidates are being offered greater flexibility in terms of Compliance Manager 62K-75K 67K-82K 56K-74K 56K-74K packages (basic salary, car allowance, bonus etc.,). Similarly, within Industry - there is a greater focus on the wider business impact that highly experienced compliance Compliance Officer 44K-67K 58K-70K 40K-53K 40K-53K professionals can offer, and as a result there is more of an emphasis on obtaining the best person as opposed to strictly staying within salary guidelines. AML Specialist 38K-60K 42K-63K 30K-49K 30K-49K Risk Lateral experience in specialist areas (Basel, Solvency, ICAPP, MifID) is still highly desirable to companies especially if they are centralising the compliance function Chief Risk Officer 122K-170K 135K-170K 80K-140K 80K-140K Abrivia Abrivia | Compliance & Risk within a single approved person.

Whilst there may be some levelling off in the overall level of recruitment - we envisage a consistant and healthy base level of recruitment to continue well into Risk Underwriter 35K-50K 35K-55K 28K-45K 28K-45K next year. An issue we expect to become more prevalent in 2012 surrounds basic qualification and competency for compliance professionals. A greater focus on academic criteria and overall fitness will likely impact the selection process and in some instances the requirement for pre-approval is likely to be a difficult hurdle to overcome. Overall we expect a busy 2012 with similar or greater numbers of new roles created as against 2011. In line with this, we expect the selection process to be more dif- ficult to navigate for candidates.

About Abrivia Office Support Abrivia‘s Office Support Team specialises in the placement of permanent, tempo- rary and contract office support professionals across the public and private sectors with many of Ireland’s leading companies.
