administrative hiring trends to help you
find the talent you need
In order to recruit and retain employees who have the right qualifications and
fit in with your corporate culture, your business needs to understand the latest
compensation trends. Salary may not be the only thing that determines your
employees’ satisfaction on the job, but it’s certainly one of the most
important factors when it comes to attracting the best people and convincing
them to stay on board.
The compensation you offer needs to be competitive with that of other firms in
your industry and region. For that reason, every organization should periodically
benchmark its salaries. To help our clients do just that, OfficeTeam releases a
Salary Guide every year, complete with the most up-to-date information and
advice on starting compensation, workplace issues and the current hiring outlook.
We hope you’ll find the information in our 2015 Salary Guide useful.
For more about compensation and staffing, please visit our Salary Center
at officeteam.com/salary-center.

understanding
the salary guide
The 2015 Salary Guide from OfficeTeam is the most
comprehensive and authoritative resource on starting salary
and hiring trends in the administrative field. It features salary
ranges for more than 60 administrative positions, including
executive and administrative assistant, receptionist, customer
service representative, and human resources (HR) assistant.
For decades, companies have used the Salary Guide to set
compensation levels for new employees, plan budgets and
better understand the hiring environment. In addition, the
Salary Guide is so highly regarded that the U.S. Department
of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics has used it when
compiling its Occupational Outlook Handbook.
The salary figures are based on a range of sources, most
notably the thousands of full-time, temporary and project
placements that our staffing and recruiting professionals make
each year. Our experts interact with hiring managers and job
seekers daily, which gives us unique real-world insight into the
latest compensation trends.
The projected salary ranges for each position reflect
starting pay only. Bonuses, incentives and other forms of
compensation are not taken into account. The ranges
represent national averages. You can adjust these figures for
your market by using the local variance numbers found on
Pages 12-14 for the United States and Page 18 for Canada.
In the guide, you’ll also find a list of must-ask job interview
questions, the elements of a strong job description, tips on
working with temporary professionals, and more hiring and
management advice.
According to the
U.S. Department of
Labor’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics, 1.5
million new jobs will
be added in office and
administrative support
occupations between
2012 and 2022.

hiring trends in the
united states
Demand for skilled administrative professionals continues to rise. Companies
throughout the United States are recruiting candidates whose contributions can make
an immediate impact in helping to support business growth.
¾¾ Competition is heating up
for the best talent. As more job
options become available for skilled
candidates, companies may lose out
on top applicants if they don’t move
fast. Employers with clear hiring
criteria and streamlined evaluation
processes are at an advantage.
¾¾ Companies are shoring
up core roles. Employers are
seeking experienced executive and
administrative assistants to help
their organizations stay on track as
business picks up. Customer service
professionals are in demand, as
well, to keep up with orders and
promote positive client relations.
Companies hope to stay ahead
of the competition by focusing
on attracting new customers and
retaining existing ones. Meanwhile,
expansion in overall personnel levels
is fueling a need for more HR staff.
¾¾ Diverse industries are hiring.
Healthcare-related organizations,
such as medical groups and
insurance companies, continue to
recruit administrative professionals
due to growing workloads tied to the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (ACA), an aging population and
the ongoing shift to electronic medical
records. At the same time, real estate,
construction, manufacturing and
other sectors are on an upswing and
expanding their administrative teams.
¾¾ Employers are pulling out all
the stops. To secure and retain the
best professionals, many companies
are increasing salaries and benefits.
Organizations are trying to stand
out by offering perks like flexible
schedules, subsidized training, on-site
services and additional vacation time.
¾¾ Firms are opting for temporary-
to-full-time arrangements.
Businesses unsure of their long-term
staffing requirements often bring in
temporary professionals to cover their
immediate personnel needs. If these
individuals are a good fit for the job
and corporate culture, they may be
transitioned into full-time roles.

45% 48% 5% 2%
¾¾ Communication strength –
Administrative staff interact constantly
with clients, employees, vendors and
others, making it imperative that they are
articulate, both verbally and in writing.
International businesses and those with
non-English-speaking customer bases
or employees look for administrative
talent who are multilingual.
¾¾ Technical skills – Microsoft Office
expertise is essential in the administrative
profession, with many employers seeking
advanced proficiency with Word, Excel,
Outlook and PowerPoint. Companies
also want candidates who can help
their firms keep up with social media
activity, including monitoring and
responding to customer feedback on
sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Google+, Pinterest and Instagram.
Many organizations value knowledge of
database management software, such as
Microsoft Access and FileMaker Pro, and
familiarity with SAP or other enterprise
resource planning systems.
¾¾ Initiative – Businesses desire
administrative professionals who are
go-getters and anticipate needs without
being asked. They want people who
adapt quickly to change, take action
when they see something has to be done
and are resourceful problem solvers.
¾¾ Professionalism – Administrative
professionals are often the initial point of
contact in a firm and can make a big first
impression on those they meet. It’s critical
they dress appropriately, maintain a
positive attitude and display confidence.
Tact and sensitivity to confidential matters
also may be required.
¾¾ Industry experience – Employers
prefer candidates who have previously
worked in their business sector and
already know industry-specific software
and terminology.

administrative
healthcare hiring trends
Demand for support and operations staff in the healthcare field continues
to be strong. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau
of Labor Statistics, healthcare will add 4.1 million jobs in the United States
between 2012 and 2022 – the most of any industry. And 14 of the
30 fastest-growing U.S. occupations are healthcare-related.
SPOTLIGHT
officeteam 2015 salary guide 7
Some of the top trends influencing administrative hiring in the
healthcare industry include:
¾¾ Higher patient volume – Health insurers and providers seek help responding to
questions brought on by the ACA, especially as new provisions take effect and some
employer deadlines are extended. Workloads for support staff also are rising as more
people secure health insurance through the ACA. In addition, a growing demographic
of Americans age 65 and older has created more demand for healthcare services and
an influx of administrative needs at healthcare facilities.
¾¾ Looming deadlines – Health systems, hospitals, medical offices and health plans
require assistance as they transition to electronic medical records and from the World
Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)
to ICD-10. The deadline for conversion to ICD-10 was postponed until 2015, making
it a major focus area for the healthcare industry this year.
¾¾ Industry background in demand – Hiring managers desire candidates with
prior healthcare experience who will require little or no training. Employers seek
administrative professionals proficient with popular software applications, such as:
	 •Allscripts	 •Centricity	 •Cerner	
	 •Epic	 •Meditech 	 •NextGen
¾¾ Communication skills valued – Administrative staff must be able to
provide excellent customer service to patients, internal staff and other healthcare
organizations. In some locations, the ability to speak multiple languages is an
asset when interacting with clientele.

interview
questions to ask6While resumes and reference checks matter, the job interview is the most
pivotal part of the hiring process because it provides the best insight
into whether someone is truly a good fit for your firm. To get the most
illuminating insights, you need to ask interviewees the right questions and
know what to listen for in their answers.
Here are six good questions to ask:
1 What do you know about our company, and why do you want
to work here? Strong applicants will answer with enthusiasm. They’ll
also show they’ve done their homework by providing beyond-the-
basics information about your organization.
2 What skills and strengths can you bring to this position? Promising
applicants will be able to make the connection between the job
requirements and their relevant abilities and attributes.
3 Can you tell me about your current job? This question sheds light on
the candidate’s most recent professional experiences and helps you
evaluate the person’s communication abilities. An ideal response will
include a concise summary of the person’s primary responsibilities and
notable accomplishments.
4 What could your current company do to be more successful? An
astute job candidate will have previously identified areas ripe for
improvement and be able to diplomatically discuss sound solutions.
5 Can you tell me about a time when you had a disagreement with
a boss or colleague and how you handled the situation? This
behavioral-based question can help you assess the interviewee’s
approach to conflict resolution. Look for team-oriented candidates
who offer compelling anecdotes that show their ability to adapt and
maintain professional relationships.
6 Do you have any questions for me? A savvy applicant will take this
softball and knock it out of the park by asking several pertinent and
well-thought-out questions that demonstrate a genuine interest in the
job opportunity.

It can not only deter candidates who lack the necessary skills from applying but also
help top talent better describe their abilities in their resumes so you can see exactly
how they match the requirements of the position.
The job description can also give a new employee a clear understanding of performance
expectations from day one and become a crucial reference in the employee evaluation
process. If you haven’t updated your firm’s job descriptions in a while, it’s probably time
to revisit them.

responsibility, function or role of the position within the organization and how it relates

¾¾ Reporting structure – Identify the department where the position resides and the
title of the person to whom the individual will report, as well as any employees the
position supervises or manages.
¾¾ Key duties – Describe the actual day-to-day tasks of the position. Identify which

¾¾ Required qualifications – Define the specific knowledge, skills and experience
necessary for the job. Also include any other training, language proficiency or other

Change – and lots of it – is the only constant today. The companies most
poised for success are those that remain agile in responding to an ever-
evolving business environment. This is especially true in the way they staff
their operations.
The perennial job of adjusting employee headcount to match business
opportunities is best handled with a flexible staffing plan. Creating a dynamic
mix of full-time employees and highly skilled temporary professionals enables
firms of all sizes to nimbly staff up or down based on workload demands. This
cost-effective approach to managing personnel resources has become “the
new normal” – a permanent part of many firms’ human resources plans.
The number of professionals at all levels choosing to work on a temporary or
project basis is also rising. The result? Employers can leverage the wealth of
experience and knowledge these skilled workers possess without taking on
the fixed costs of a full-time hire for every personnel need.

  • 3. officeteam 2015 salary guide 1 administrative hiring trends to help you find the talent you need In order to recruit and retain employees who have the right qualifications and fit in with your corporate culture, your business needs to understand the latest compensation trends. Salary may not be the only thing that determines your employees’ satisfaction on the job, but it’s certainly one of the most important factors when it comes to attracting the best people and convincing them to stay on board. The compensation you offer needs to be competitive with that of other firms in your industry and region. For that reason, every organization should periodically benchmark its salaries. To help our clients do just that, OfficeTeam releases a Salary Guide every year, complete with the most up-to-date information and advice on starting compensation, workplace issues and the current hiring outlook. We hope you’ll find the information in our 2015 Salary Guide useful. For more about compensation and staffing, please visit our Salary Center at officeteam.com/salary-center.
  • 4. officeteam 2015 salary guide 2 understanding the salary guide The 2015 Salary Guide from OfficeTeam is the most comprehensive and authoritative resource on starting salary and hiring trends in the administrative field. It features salary ranges for more than 60 administrative positions, including executive and administrative assistant, receptionist, customer service representative, and human resources (HR) assistant. For decades, companies have used the Salary Guide to set compensation levels for new employees, plan budgets and better understand the hiring environment. In addition, the Salary Guide is so highly regarded that the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics has used it when compiling its Occupational Outlook Handbook. The salary figures are based on a range of sources, most notably the thousands of full-time, temporary and project placements that our staffing and recruiting professionals make each year. Our experts interact with hiring managers and job seekers daily, which gives us unique real-world insight into the latest compensation trends. The projected salary ranges for each position reflect starting pay only. Bonuses, incentives and other forms of compensation are not taken into account. The ranges represent national averages. You can adjust these figures for your market by using the local variance numbers found on Pages 12-14 for the United States and Page 18 for Canada. In the guide, you’ll also find a list of must-ask job interview questions, the elements of a strong job description, tips on working with temporary professionals, and more hiring and management advice. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.5 million new jobs will be added in office and administrative support occupations between 2012 and 2022. visit us at officeteam.com/salary-center for more about compensation and staffing.

  • 6. officeteam 2015 salary guide 4 hiring trends in the united states Demand for skilled administrative professionals continues to rise. Companies throughout the United States are recruiting candidates whose contributions can make an immediate impact in helping to support business growth. ¾¾ Competition is heating up for the best talent. As more job options become available for skilled candidates, companies may lose out on top applicants if they don’t move fast. Employers with clear hiring criteria and streamlined evaluation processes are at an advantage. ¾¾ Companies are shoring up core roles. Employers are seeking experienced executive and administrative assistants to help their organizations stay on track as business picks up. Customer service professionals are in demand, as well, to keep up with orders and promote positive client relations. Companies hope to stay ahead of the competition by focusing on attracting new customers and retaining existing ones. Meanwhile, expansion in overall personnel levels is fueling a need for more HR staff. ¾¾ Diverse industries are hiring. Healthcare-related organizations, such as medical groups and insurance companies, continue to recruit administrative professionals due to growing workloads tied to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), an aging population and the ongoing shift to electronic medical records. At the same time, real estate, construction, manufacturing and other sectors are on an upswing and expanding their administrative teams. ¾¾ Employers are pulling out all the stops. To secure and retain the best professionals, many companies are increasing salaries and benefits. Organizations are trying to stand out by offering perks like flexible schedules, subsidized training, on-site services and additional vacation time. ¾¾ Firms are opting for temporary- to-full-time arrangements. Businesses unsure of their long-term staffing requirements often bring in temporary professionals to cover their immediate personnel needs. If these individuals are a good fit for the job and corporate culture, they may be transitioned into full-time roles. top hiring trends
