The Guide provides information on salaries for roles across all job categories and broken down by location as well as including key trends in the market.   <h4> </h4> 2022 kicked off with a candidate driven market and a war for talent which still continues through to Quarter 3. Candidates are in the driving seat and demands for not only financial but welfare driven benefits have increased exponentially. Increased flexibility and a work/life balance has in the past been a major selling point in terms of attracting and retaining employees. The talent pool has been widened significantly with employers no longer restricted to hiring staff within commutable distance. With the majority of companies offering hybrid working opportunities, businesses in regional locations are now more than ever facing competition from larger multinationals who can offer higher salaries and benefits with a working from home model.
