Introduction
03   PSD’s annual salary Survey 2010 is a useful guide to pay and reward across all sectors of the
     procurement and supply chain industry. It is the result of a comprehensive analysis of the
     salaries of 15,000 procurement professionals across Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific.

     It is broken down by geographical location and industry sector to allow procurement leaders,
     HR managers and candidates to analyse trends across the sectors and to benchmark their own
     company’s reward policy. The survey focuses purely on leadership level roles within the
     procurement field creating a focus on those individuals that drive the development of procurement
     and supply chain within major blue-chip organisations. This reflects the level of individuals which
     PSD focuses on.

     The World economy is showing some encouraging signs of recovery despite the talk of double
     dip recession from some commentators. The Purchasing Managers Index has been slowly
     climbing indicating improvement in manufacturing activity. Last year, recruitment activity was
     more skewed to interim contractors as employers looked to staff projects with temporary resource.
     This year this has balanced out with more permanent roles across all sectors. Whilst in previous
     years recruitment has been affected by reactionary factors e.g. the global economic recession,
     this year, the job market will be affected by legislation such as the coalition's spend reduction
     programme across the Public Sector.

     Our forecast is that purchasing and supply chain will still be a buoyant recruitment market
     because it is able to show tangible contributions to bottom line results. Procurement continues
     to mature as a function and mandates are being increased because of better influencing skills
     from procurement leaders. Candidates are responding to market conditions by being more

     flexible and we have seen several senior candidates take overseas posts to broaden their options.
     The industry has developed as managers have worked on more varied projects such as
     assessing the validity of mergers and major outsourcing programmes. Procurement is being
     seen as an area that offers career progression and also as an area that will equip candidates
     for positions in other functions.

Package and Benefits
08   Benefits not only make a significant difference to the total remuneration, but the security that these can
     bring must not be underestimated. We have seen a number of candidates re-consider their options when
     they realise the value of some benefits. In particular, those that are on ‘final salary’ pension schemes
     would often need to secure five figure rises when joining a new employer just to negate the effects of the
     lost pension. In 2009, less than five percent of all the roles that PSD recruited for offered a final-salary
     pension scheme.

     Sometimes regarded as ‘perks and benefits’, extras such as car allowances, bonuses and health cover
     are now treated as essential by experienced professionals.

Why Salary Survey – Methodology
09   PSD’s Salary Survey is the result of analysing our database of
     15,000 active and inactive candidates across Europe, the Middle
     East and Asia Pacific. It also takes into account the successful
     placements of 2009 and how candidates were attracted in terms of
     pay and reward. The figures indicated refer to basic salary, which we
     find the best indication to allow for serious comparison. Packages
     are usually calculated by adding 30 – 50% on top of basic salaries,
     but it is not uncommon for the more senior candidate to be have a
     package of up to 100% of basic salary.

     This document will focus on our key specialist sectors, and provides
     a useful guide allowing for comparison between different sectors.
     Please note that this acts as a guide only and there will be anomalies
     as there are with any indicators.

     However the rise was significantly smaller than the pervious year. Whilst such
     figures can be heavily influenced by changing editorial practices and priorities,
     it is tempting to view this as evidence of the pharma industry exhibiting a degree

     banking crisis, the traditionally recession-proof pharma industry seems
     to be holding up fairly well to the extent that overall pipelines have not
     shrunk significantly.

     While it is difficult to draw any definite conclusions in a year when many
     people working in the industry have lost their jobs, it seems that, compared
     to other industries pharma might be successful in weathering the storm so far.

Psd Salary Survey 2010

  • 2. 02 Contents 03 Introduction 04 PSD Overview – International Recruitment Firm 05 PSD Purchasing – Scope, Roles, Services 06 Diversity Policy 07 Interim Recruitment 08 Package and Benefits 09 Why Salary Survey – Methodology 10 Sector Overviews 14 Financial Services and Banking 15 Interim 16 Public Sector and Not for Profit PSD 17 Property, Infrastructure and Construction 18 Technology 19 Energy and Utilities 20 FMCG and Pharmaceuticals 21 Purchasing Contacts
  • 3. Introduction 03 PSD’s annual salary Survey 2010 is a useful guide to pay and reward across all sectors of the procurement and supply chain industry. It is the result of a comprehensive analysis of the salaries of 15,000 procurement professionals across Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific. It is broken down by geographical location and industry sector to allow procurement leaders, HR managers and candidates to analyse trends across the sectors and to benchmark their own company’s reward policy. The survey focuses purely on leadership level roles within the procurement field creating a focus on those individuals that drive the development of procurement and supply chain within major blue-chip organisations. This reflects the level of individuals which PSD focuses on. The World economy is showing some encouraging signs of recovery despite the talk of double dip recession from some commentators. The Purchasing Managers Index has been slowly climbing indicating improvement in manufacturing activity. Last year, recruitment activity was more skewed to interim contractors as employers looked to staff projects with temporary resource. This year this has balanced out with more permanent roles across all sectors. Whilst in previous years recruitment has been affected by reactionary factors e.g. the global economic recession, this year, the job market will be affected by legislation such as the coalition's spend reduction programme across the Public Sector. Our forecast is that purchasing and supply chain will still be a buoyant recruitment market because it is able to show tangible contributions to bottom line results. Procurement continues to mature as a function and mandates are being increased because of better influencing skills from procurement leaders. Candidates are responding to market conditions by being more PSD flexible and we have seen several senior candidates take overseas posts to broaden their options. The industry has developed as managers have worked on more varied projects such as assessing the validity of mergers and major outsourcing programmes. Procurement is being seen as an area that offers career progression and also as an area that will equip candidates for positions in other functions.
  • 4. PSD: An Overview 04 PSD is an international recruitment services organisation operating across Europe and Asia Pacific We offer expert knowledge of our specialist markets: purchasing, customer contact, technology, IT, finance and banking, marketing and sales, property and construction, law and HR.

We recruit across management levels and support functions up to board level. Typical salaries range from £40,000 - £150,000.

  • 7. Interim Recruitment 07 We appreciate that time is the key aspect when recruiting contract and interim roles. With this in mind we are able to conduct the full interview and selection cycle representing your organisation with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness.

  • 8. Package and Benefits 08 Benefits not only make a significant difference to the total remuneration, but the security that these can bring must not be underestimated. We have seen a number of candidates re-consider their options when they realise the value of some benefits. In particular, those that are on ‘final salary’ pension schemes would often need to secure five figure rises when joining a new employer just to negate the effects of the lost pension. In 2009, less than five percent of all the roles that PSD recruited for offered a final-salary pension scheme. Sometimes regarded as ‘perks and benefits’, extras such as car allowances, bonuses and health cover are now treated as essential by experienced professionals. Growing trends include: 1. Bonuses are a part of most 5. Stock options are not as 7.

  • 9. Why Salary Survey – Methodology 09 PSD’s Salary Survey is the result of analysing our database of 15,000 active and inactive candidates across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. It also takes into account the successful placements of 2009 and how candidates were attracted in terms of pay and reward. The figures indicated refer to basic salary, which we find the best indication to allow for serious comparison. Packages are usually calculated by adding 30 – 50% on top of basic salaries, but it is not uncommon for the more senior candidate to be have a package of up to 100% of basic salary. This document will focus on our key specialist sectors, and provides a useful guide allowing for comparison between different sectors. Please note that this acts as a guide only and there will be anomalies as there are with any indicators. For a more detailed opinion on pay and reward, do not hesitate to contact a member of the team listed at the back of this report. PSD
