Don't get us wrong, money matters, but there's much more to a job than what you get paid. In our More Than Money Salary Guide 2022, we uncover the average salaries and contract rates for the most in-demand tech roles in the regions Talent operates in globally, and explore what candidates and hiring managers need to know beyond the money, to best navigate this market.
Our experts interact with hiring managers and candidates daily, giving us unique, real-world insights into the latest salary and benefits trends.
The global technology market is evolving and growing. As a $5 trillion global industry, it has significant power in both providing opportunity to the workforce as well as rapidly disrupting the international work landscape.
Emerging technologies in the way of artificial intelligence, IoT, big data, and automation are disrupting global industries and generating significant demand for professionals with appropriate technology skill-sets, however over the last two years, there has been a struggle to attract top tech talent due to border closures and a shortage of qualified candidates.
Now that candidates are resigning en masse as part of the "Great Resignation", it’s crucial for companies to keep their best people on board. According to a 2021 Microsoft Work Trends Index report, 41% of the global workforce are likely to consider leaving their current employer within the next year. With candidates in the driver’s seat, companies must ensure they are offering competitive salaries if they want to retain their best performers and attract top talent.
It doesn’t stop with the money though. There’s more to it than that. A rewarding work environment, flexibility (a non-negotiable), benefits & perks, and opportunity for progression must also be on offer.
