2 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 2 SEEKING ROLES THIS YEAR SALARY GUIDE INTRODUCTION of respondents are planning to change role this year Welcome to the Harnham 2013 Salary Guide. This is the definitive guide to the latest salary data, summary of market trends and predictions within Data and Analytics in the UK. Overall we see a positive outlook and a buoyant market. There was a huge demand in the last few months of 2012 which has so far continued into There is a clear trend towards more candidates exploring new opportunities but this increased interest still does not meet the continued high volume of vacancies so 2013 sees us enter a very candidate driven market. With lots of roles on offer and less candidates to go around, this means only one thing - speed is of the essence. More frequently we are seeing the common scenario of individuals having multiple offers at the point of decision. Therefore many organisations are missing out because they are taking too long in their recruitment process and this, combined with a hesitancy to offer competitive or flexible packages, means they are failing to attract the best people. SALARY EXPECTATIONS of those looking stated it was to secure better remuneration There is also a marked increase in smaller companies investing in Data and Analytics. In many cases, they are snapping up the good candidates ahead of larger businesses as they are responding quickly by keeping their recruitment campaigns fluid and fast moving. INCREASED EXPECTATIONS Our respondents are seeking on average an 18% increase in salary

3 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 3 DATA SOURCES BENCHMARKING As part of the further development of our presence within the Data and Analytics business community, we continuously monitor trends in this marketplace. Our 2013 salary guide is primarily based on a robust survey completed by 1143 respondents based throughout the UK, further supported by a number of other market data sources, including: _ Objective data based on placements made by Harnham during 2012 _ Market intelligence gained through client and candidate interviews and assessments in 2012 _ Analysis of Harnham s online advertising placed throughout 2012 _ Industry specific reports by third party organisations eg. SAS The largest response to the survey was from the London region followed by the South East, North West and East Midlands respectively. Responses were on a par for the North East and South West and also for Scotland and the West Midlands. Wales and Northern Ireland also had participants this year. Collating our findings in one place, we ve created an invaluable salary reference resource for the Data & Analytics market. NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS WORK LOCATION of the respondents work in London

5 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 5 CAREERS OPPORTUNITIES FUTURE A key driver for a high percentage of individuals to seek an alternative role is the salary and benefits package they currently receive. Feedback shows that they feel their salaries are too low and not competitive in today s market, combined with their benefits not being comprehensive. The demand for higher salaries is going to be more prevalent in 2013 as the marketplace becomes increasingly candidate driven. 1-3 YEARS REASONS FOR LEAVING Last year 41% of people surveyed changed companies due to their salary not being competitive OTHER REASONS FOR LEAVING AVERAGE TENURE 51% of our respondents stay in a role between 1-3 years Benefits not comprehensive Lack of training Redundancy Poor management Team dynamics Job stability

6 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 6 SALARY INCREASE BONUSES FIGURES SALARIES There is a real marked division within the Data & Analytics marketplace when it comes to salary increases saw an almost 50/50 split between those individuals who did secure an above inflation pay rise with those who received no pay rise at all. 55% of salaries increased by more than double the rate of inflation with 40% of respondents salaries staying the same as the previous year. When it came to bonuses, a very significant 78% of respondents received a bonus during 2012 with the average bonus being 14% above base salary. As already mentioned, 2012 and the beginning of 2013 has seen Data & Analytics as a candidate driven market, so those respondents with no rise in salary or bonus are likely to be interested in looking at opportunities where they can achieve a higher all-round package. For companies who wish to hire this year, real consideration needs to be placed on offering competitive packages to ensure they can attract the best candidates. NO INCREASE For many there was no increase in salary at all of salaries increased by more than double the rate of inflation BONUSES AVERAGE ACHIEVED was the average bonus percentage achieved over base salary last year

8 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 8 MARKETING AND INSIGHT In 2012, it was clear that supply could not meet demand within this market, as a high volume of companies struggled to secure skilled individuals for their numerous job openings. The second half of the year, and so far within 2013, sees recruitment within the sector the busiest this market has been for some time. The age old struggle of finding well rounded analytics professionals, in possession of advanced statistical skills, complemented by strong commercial awareness and the ability to inspire non technical audiences, is as prevalent as ever. This shortage, combined with a marked increase in highly personalised loyalty campaigns and real time decisioning, has meant that professionals in possession of this combination of skills are highly sought after. Certain skills have been in particularly high demand, predominantly Senior Analysts within the 45-65k salary bracket. In addition there has been a marked increase in the number of data strategy vacancies, for example, data planners and consultants. A third area where we have seen continued, if not increased, demand has been for online Analytics skills, especially for individuals with experience in Omniture and Google Analytics. WE ASKED Have you noticed any changes in the Analytics and Data market, or emerging technologies / sectors that you feel will have an impact in 2013? YOU ANSWERED Seem to be more companies growing their in-house analytics teams More outsourcing to eastern Europe / Asia More mobile campaigns

9 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 9 MARKETING AND INSIGHT This market poses the challenge of sourcing individuals who can offer strong technical skills combined with well-developed communication skills that are supported by a good level of commercial awareness. Organisations wanting this type of person have typically struggled to find them. The outcome is that salary ranges are very broad due to continuous demand and bidding war type situations to secure suitably skilled individuals. YOU TOLD US Despite the growth of online and social recruitment methods most people surveyed would typically use a recruitment agency ahead of any other means when searching for a new role.

10 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 10 CREDIT RISK Credit Risk also saw 2012 result in a role heavy market with a scarcity of skilled candidates. Credit Risk has been a particularly busy area in recent times with some significantly sized projects launched within major organisations. This has created a substantial number of roles in the market and subsequently a lot of career moves for suitably skilled people. A genuine pressure point within Credit Risk is the very real shortage of Senior Analysts, the knock on effect of which is a marked increase in offers outside the normal salary range. Similar to last year, we ve seen a growth in credit risk analytics usage within smaller businesses as well as for niche lenders. Another key area which is still very much in demand is Decision Science, where there remains huge competition for individuals with this skill set. WE ASKED Have you noticed any changes in the Analytics and Data market, or emerging technologies / sectors that you feel will have an impact in 2013? YOU ANSWERED General increase in demand for client facing analysts, particularly at 40k SAS level. Increasing regulatory scrutiny.

11 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 11 CREDIT RISK There have been situations with counter offers taking people outside the industry salary average, but also offers that are way over market average. On the whole, we have seen the biggest change in salaries at the top end of Mid Level band. The competition for candidates in this space has led to salaries for Senior Analysts overtaking those of manager level within other organisations [Mid-level / Senior Technical level in our Salary Guide key ], thus further increasing the challenges of recruiting for Senior Analyst roles.

12 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 12 DATA AND TECHNOLOGY The highest growing focus in this area is Big Data. With the amount of data available to businesses growing exponentially, companies now need to know how to use and derive insight from it. In January 2013 e-skills UK, the Sector Skills Council for Business and Information Technology, and SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, published a report into the growth and subsequent demand for Big Data Analytics over the next 5 years, with a clear prediction that demand is forecast to increase by 92% between 2012 and The focus on Big Data is driving increased use of tools like Hadoop and, as well as the constantly evolving tools for the market such as Tableau, we are seeing the need for relevant skills continuing to grow to support these. As with any new developments, the requirement for skills and the availability of them can be at odds in the early days. Like the other areas we cover within our Salary Guide, Data and Technology is no exception, it is a candidate driven market and will continue to be so with the future growth of Big Data. WE ASKED Have you noticed any changes in the Analytics and Data market, or emerging technologies / sectors that you feel will have an impact in 2013? YOU ANSWERED Big data has taken an important place and so has social media monitoring and web listening. Further mergers and acquisitions with big players like Oracle and IBM making significant buys.

13 HARNHAM SALARY GUIDE PAGE 13 DATA AND TECHNOLOGY Big Data was mentioned in a significant number of survey responses. Our respondents suggested the current hype around Big Data is distracting businesses from core Business Intelligence solutions. Secondly, there is a growing emphasis on visualisation tools and a more mature approach to respective roles of Relational and NOSQL approaches. The third observation is the advent of unstructured data, and the requirement within the market to learn how to harness this.

The changing nature of how Data & Analytics are applied, as well as the software tools used, is constantly shifting. However, the outlook for 2013 is optimistic and we expect the remainder of this year to be equally as busy as the start. Our survey shows that 44% of teams have increased in size during 2012 with 30% staying the same size. With growth in Big Data an active business concern and more customers wanting to create a Single Customer View (SCV), more skilled individuals will be required to support these key areas.

JOB SECURITY feel more secure in their role than they did last year BONUSES ACHIEVED of those surveyed received a bonus last year However, as there is still a substantial shortfall in suitably skilled and available individuals, the UK Data & Analytics market will definitely remain candidate driven for the foreseeable future and salaries will increase as demand continues to outweigh supply.
