North East Salary Survey 215 What are you worth?

Introduction Welcome to the 215 edition of the Nigel Wright Recruitment North East Salary Survey. As a company that is at the core of recruitment in the region, it is essential that we acknowledge market movements and understand the effects these changes have on employment and the overall business environment. Due to the effect that these fluctuations will ultimately have on any company s recruitment strategy, we see it as essential to provide our clients with the most up-to-date information available. The information in this survey has been gathered from over 1 respondents who completed our online survey in the last quarter of 214/215, as well as data from our own extensive database of candidates. This provides us with a large data-set allowing us to understand in more depth the average salary and the type of benefits people receive within the North East. Other factors include what benefits people see as an important part of their remuneration package and the reasons why people move jobs internally or externally, as well as the methods that they utilise to search for a new job. We hope that the results presented within the general overview and discipline specific information will be of interest. For further information and advice please contact one of our consultants specialising in your specific discipline on 191 222 77.
