Sales With returning confidence within the market, 2015 is set to see growth in sales roles across all business sectors following on from the steady growth experienced in 2014. As per previous years the demand for internal sales will continue to be high with increasing numbers of ICT/ Technology companies based here servicing the European markets. Naturally there is a very high demand for experienced sales candidates who possess a European language and increasingly languages from further afield (APAC). Typically, these companies recruit for candidates across the full sales cycle, from lead generators to inside sales positions as well as sales managers. There was resurgence in B2B sales roles in 2014, particularly within the engineering and construction markets. We foresee this continuing in 2015, with demand for sales professionals with tender process experience in particular. Increased consumer spending and confidence in the economy will result in growth within the FMCG retail sector this year. After minimal recruitment over the past few years, this is a welcome return to the industry. There has been little movement in senior positions such as sales director, commercial director etc., yet with increasing confidence in the market, we predict more activity in this space across all business sectors in 2015 as people become more confident about moving roles. Due to the returning optimism in the marketplace we predict small increases in salaries in 2015 both on basic salaries and in bonuses and commission remuneration. This is the first growth in salaries seen in many sectors since 2008. However companies are still focussed on competitiveness so this growth will be of a modest nature.

Marketing Digital marketing will continue to be the growth area in marketing in 2015. Online skills are in strong demand. In particular technical skills such as HTML and other coding language skills are being sought alongside SEO requirements. Consumer insights and analytics is still a skill set that is highly in demand, however as a result of a lack of suitably qualified candidates, some organisations must be prepared to wait for the right talent or look overseas if necessary. Business to business (B2B) marketing skills continue to be in demand with more and more companies now requesting marketing automation software experience. This is as a result of the large number of organisations opening their European HQ here with the objective of growing market share across EMEA territories. 2014 proved to be a disappointing year for marketing opportunities in FMCG and Retail marketing. As the economy improves in 2015, this sector is becoming more competitive and employers are seeking the assistance of brand managers and customer marketing managers to gain a competitive edge this year. 2015 looks set to mirror 2014 with a continuous increase in contract roles at all levels across all sectors but with a higher volume in multinational and blue chip organisations. Overall with the improving economic conditions there has been an uplift in the market however it remains highly competitive and employer driven with little change in salaries in the main.
