There was a 13.5% growth in job placements in 2011 compared

to 2010. Signs of stabilisation in the Irish economy and banking

system, and a surprisingly strong first half economic performance

contribute to the rise.

Economic stabilisation in early part of 2011 brought with it a return

of confidence in business activity throughout the first half with

considerably more job placements occurring through the first half

of the year, peaking throughout the summer. The final quarter

however saw a levelling off (-2.5%) in job placements due to a

reduction in confidence, which impacted decision making among

employers and candidates.

Robert MacGiolla Phádraig, Director, Sigmar Recruitment says: “It

is clear from 2011 that confidence is the single biggest influence

on job creation with job placements being immediately affected by

economic sentiment. Job placements grew in the first half of the

year peaking in July and August as the domestic economy

gathered momentum.

As Europe began to stagnate, companies became slower to

commit to hiring. Even though job placements have slowed slightly,

they have remained stable throughout Q4, with activity

accelerating throughout, which bodes well for the early part of

2012. Job placements will continue to further stabilise in the first

half of 2012 with steady growth predicted for the second half of

the year as the IDA supports jobs. Jobs in the domestic economy

will continue to be largely influenced by confidence on the national

and European economy.”

There is a clear two tracked employment market emerging, with

the continued job creation among multinational companies and

stagnation among domestic employers. The IDA have reported a

marked rise on 2010 with 13,000 jobs being created in 2011, the

impact of which should be seen throughout 2012 as the jobs come

to realisation. These IDA backed jobs will also have a knock on

effect with an estimated 3 jobs being created in the domestic

service sectors for every FDI role.

On the other hand, the continued uncertainty in the European

market, and additional austerity measures in Budget 2012, have

led to indigenous employers adopting an air of caution in their

hiring decisions which will continue to be influenced by wider

economic confidence throughout 2012.

There has been a significant increase in the amount of contract

and temporary offerings throughout 2011 by companies where

flexible employment has become the norm. Therefore the demand

for flexible employment requirements is expected to continue

throughout 2012. Candidates willing to be flexible and take these

roles more often than not find themselves being offered extensions

and permanent contracts by the end of their term.

There was a slow start to 2011 and a bit of a bumpy ride throughout

the summer but recruitment picked up tremendously from

September onwards for the rest of 2011.

The finance side of the financial services market has been

extremely busy in 2011. There is still a shortage of permanent

positions and most companies within the financial services sector

are recruiting people on short term and long term contracts, even

up to 18 months.

For most of the roles there is still a preference for Big 4 trained

Accountants within all areas (Internal Audit, Financial Control, Risk

and Compliance etc)

There is a growing need for people within the Corporate Governance

area (Internal audit, Risk and Control, Regulatory and Statutory

reporting, Compliance and Sox roles). A lot of these roles are on the

permanent side due to the importance of the area and the fact that

a number of companies have found they need to increase

headcount in these departments .

Financial Reporting is also a growing area and a number of

contractors will be needed from Dec 2011 to Feb/ April 2012 to cover

year end.

The start of 2012 looks to be very busy in Financial Services across

the board – Insurance, Banking, Investments.

Areas that will be in particular demand will be newly qualified

accountants trained in Big 4 companies, qualified accountants

with financial products knowledge, all levels of regulatory,

statutory, risk and compliance staff as well as roles within

implementation, process improvement and change

management areas.

2012 certainly looks very promising for Qualified Accountants

especially for those with strong project skills and financial

products knowledge.

Credit Managers and candidates with Debt Restructuring

experience will be in demand however salaries will still be

restricted.

2011:

After a large number of redundancies in 2010, 2011 saw a slow

but steady rise in vacancies in the industry & commerce sector.

The year started slow but with a gradual rise.

The main sectors recruiting were with US multinationals and IT

companies with pharmaceuticals companies following suit. FMCG

(fast moving consumer goods) companies picked up during the

year with a strong rise to the end of the year.

There was a large need for skills such as costing, pricing &

profitability analysis and fixed assets, mainly due to companies

looking after every penny.

The slow down was more prevalent in the senior finance areas

(CFO’s, Finance Directors & Financial Controllers) but as the

market picked up towards the summer a number of vacancies

arose.

We have also seen a large number of contract positions and

contracts with a view to being made permanent in 2011. Salaries

made a slight increase throughout the year which makes 2012 all

the more promising.

We found that a lot of companies were very particular in the type

of candidate & experience they wanted in 2011 and that will

continue in 2012.

One key area was systems, especially ERP systems. There was

a high demand for candidates with SAP or Oracle and sometimes

companies ruled candidates out because they didn’t have time to

train candidates on the systems and wanted the successful

candidate to “hit the ground running”.

Employers are looking for candidates with a much broader range

of skills and experience who they think can go into the job and be

adaptable, flexible and be able to meet any new tasks or

challenges presented to them.

2012:

We predict an ever increasing activity in the market; companies

have made their cuts, have plans to restructure and recruitment

needs to happen to put this plan of action in place. The big

recruiters in Accountancy & Finance Industry areas will as always

be US Multinational/Pharmaceuticals/IT Companies. But with

Dublin being the European hub for many major world companies,

a knock on effect will kick in and we will hopefully all reap the

benefits from this. Candidates with ERP systems experience,

ideally with a Big 4 background, will be in major demand.

In 2012, we predict a demand for roles in Financial Planning &

Analysis, Financial/Business Analysts, Costing and Risk Analysts,

Project Accountants as well as the natural progression from

Financial Accountants to Finance Manager/Financial Controller

level. This will hopefully see a growth in businesses & a growth in

recruitment with the candidates being the ones to benefit in 2012.

Audit

2011 saw an increase in the demand for Qualified Audit

professionals to work in practice. This demand came primarily from

the Top 20 accounting firms where additional staff was required

for audit assignments with large multinational companies. The

most sought after candidates were recently Qualified Accountants

who were coming from other Big 4 or Top 20 accounting firms. This

is mainly due to the needs of the large audit firms who require

candidates with exposure to regulatory reporting standards such

as US GAAP & IFRS.

We predict that there will continue to be a large volume of

opportunities for audit professionals at all levels within practice in

2012. With the number of multinationals located in Ireland, the

large audit firms will continue to be engaged to undertake audits

which will have a knock on effect on the required headcount for

their teams.

Advisory / Consulting

There has been significant growth in the advisory area where the

large practices with consulting arms are being engaged by large

financial services and multinational companies. These companies

seek assistance on a range of matters including internal audit,

regulation, risk, process improvement and cost saving. The

practices will always be most interested in hiring candidates with

previous advisory experience; however in Q3 & Q4 of 2011, they

have hired qualified accountants with no prior experience in this

specialist field. The ACA qualification is typically the most desired

qualification but more recently, ACCA qualified candidates have

been hired.

The advisory space continues to be a growth area within practice.

The increase in corporate governance requirements in place for

all companies will mean that specialist help is required to meet the

regulatory and compliance requirements. This will be one area

where job growth is expected within 2012.

Taxation

During 2011 there was no significant growth in the demand for Tax

Accountants for the practice sector. The majority of vacancies

were at the more senior level with the large firms seeking

Managers and Senior Managers from other Big 4 or large firms.

With few available job opportunites in industry, many recently

qualified Tax Seniors or Managers are remaining in their positions

in practice. This lack of movement in the market has ensured that

the demand for Tax Accountants in practice has remained

consistent throughout the year.

Job opportunities will exist within the tax area during 2012;

however they will be of a lesser volume than the other specialist

areas within practice. An increase in industry opportunities should

open more vacancies for qualified Tax Accountants within practice.

The jobs that will arise are more likely to be at the senior and

management level and prior Big 4 tax experience will be required.

Within Investment Banking there has been an increase in the main

Back Office departments such as Fund Accounting and

Shareholder Services with work in the more ancillary departments

such as Custody, Pricing and Corporate Actions moving at a lesser

pace. The market for candidates within Funds is still quite

competitive with companies striving to attain the best candidates

on the market.

There has been a definite increase in the amount of contract and

temporary offerings in the last two years by Funds companies

where sign off for permanent requirements is delayed due to

budget constraints or sign off by executive levels or international

counterparts. Candidates willing to be flexible and take these roles

more often than not find themselves being offered extensions and

permanent contract by the end of their term.

There is a strong demand for Project, Analytical and Statistical

roles. Candidates with experience and industry qualifications are

snapped up. These include SAS, SQL, PMP, Six Sigma, and

Prince II.

Compliance and Risk will continue to be areas of growth throughout

2012. As regulations within the financial sectors increase so will the

demand on top talent in this area. This will be the area which is

likely to see salary increases. The LCOI qualification will be in

demand for Compliance candidates along with superior

Communications skills to implement Compliance quickly in fast

changing environments.

Candidates in these areas need to make sure their CV’s are tailored

per role which has never been more vital. Highlighting experience

and skills relevant to the exact role is essential. There is huge

competition for these roles and candidates need to give themselves

every opportunity to be called to interview. Grammar and bad

formatting is completely unacceptable.

There are good opportunities in the Investment Banking Industry

and most companies are set to remain increasing and replacing staff

throughout 2012 at a cautious but steady rate.

With the ever changing landscape in the Banking Industry it is

more unclear on how recruitment requirements will form

throughout 2012. Candidates with careers in this area should

expect to see increased contract work, lower salary levels and

high competition for roles.

There will be a large increase of experienced people on the

market after mergers that have taken place so candidates

moving roles at this time should ensure that they are giving

themselves every opportunity to be hired by tailoring CV’s,

preparing intensively for interviews and being as flexible as

possible.

Credit Managers and candidates with Debt Restructuring

experience will be in demand however salaries will still be

restricted.

The majority of domestic banks are continuing to

experience salary and bonus freezes while a number of

international banking institutions are unsure of how

things will pan out due to major group restructures from

their parent companies.

Many financial services employers predict a small

percentage increase in salaries for 2012 in areas such

as credit, risk and compliance, while operational level

salaries will remain flat.

Similar to the last two years, candidates with experience

in credit and risk analysis, asset restructuring and

compliance are seeing a high demand for their skills

which has led to more competitive salary changes in

these areas.

Overall, 2011 has shown a gradual upswing in

recruitment within the banking sector with an emphasis

on fixed term contract roles at both senior and junior

levels.

which has led to more competitive salary changes in

these areas.

Overall, 2011 has shown a gradual upswing in

FINANCIAL REPORTING

For the past year the volume of recruitment in the fund

services sector has been low in the small to medium

sized fund organisations. The larger organisations have

been slightly busier recruiting at the junior level to

specialist level hirer. It is believed that there will be

candidate movement across the sector in 2012 due to

salary, bonus and progression freezes in previous years.

Many clients predict minimal bonus and salary increases

early in 2012 where the majority will be depending on

individual performance. Some organisations are

continuing to cross-train fund professionals and

encourage further external training.

It has also been predicted that appointments on a

temporary and contract basis are due to increase again

in 2012 as it has over the past few years. Overall, there

is a positive outlook across the industry for 2012 in

comparison to the previous 2 years.

Page 21: Sigmar Recruitment   Salary Guide 2012

Insurance

Since the shift in 2010 from high volume to strategic recruitment.

We are starting to see an increased requirement for specific skill

sets across the board in the insurance sector. Opportunities in the

industry have risen steadily in the last twelve months although

salaries seem to be on a par with 2010 rates.

An unusual but very common trend we have seen, is an influx of

professionals from abroad joining the Irish market. This is due to

the stagnant candidate base throughout the sector, particulary in

Dublin.

Recent trends include an increase in Compliance roles within the

sector. Along with this there has also been an increase in Risk

Solvency II roles but not to the same degree. The areas we have

seen most development in are the fields of actuarial, credit, risk

and compliance and also reinsurance. With the need of part and

fully qualified actuaries at an all time high, newly qualified actuaries

have begun to commandi salaries from €80,000 upwards.

Dissimilarly to these areas, we have seen most drop off in general

lines insurance with the current climate making it unfeasible to

up-hold regular creation of roles.

The attraction to Ireland for International organisations remains

relatively strong. In 2010 and 2011 we continued to see an increase

in key players in the Life Insurance industry who decided to

centralise their European Operations in Ireland. This brought on

various associated projects and we expect to see that trend

continue in 2012.

We have seen continued growth in 2011 in the areas of Compliance,

Risk, Solvency II, Business Analysts, Product Specialists, Actuaries,

Project Managers and Programme Managers. The industry has

seen some positive growth and in particular these areas will

continue to have increasing opportunities in 2012 .

The office sector regained some of its former vigour with steady

growth in 2011. The year started with strong opportunities for

professional administrator/receptionists across a variety of

companies.

As the year progressed excellent opportunities for professional

and experienced PAs were becoming more evident. Long term

contract and permanent roles opened not only for the traditional

PA but also for the career PA. In certain areas responsibilities and

salaries grew significantly as did the scope of the roles opening

up to experienced PA’s.

Office Support Staff

Traditional sectors like Legal, Pharmaceutical, Banking and

Financial Services, who had previously downsized support staff

numbers, returned to the market to recruit candidates within these

Opportunities for well qualified and flexible juniors also remain

for office staff, we anticipate that the momentum built during the

Ireland Overview

National and International media has been focused on Ireland

since 2008, with reports erring very much to the side of an

economic meltdown and potential repercussions as a result of the

European bailout and subsequent budget reforms. Ireland did

indeed go through one of the biggest booms ever seen throughout

our economic history, leading to international relations with our

Euro counterparts developing on never seen before scales and

ultimately a borrowing scale which far outweighed our monetary

capabilities. We are all aware of the outcome and as we enter 2012

after one of the toughest budgets ever to be passed in the Irish

Dail, the news is that things are a lot better than they appear. In

order to see the positives within our current situation, we must strip

away certain negatives and focus on the growth which is evident

in almost every aspect of Irelands economic and media output. As

a country, we are in better shape now than we have been in for

some time and although there will be continued reforms in public

spending, jobs initiatives are at the top of the government’s

agenda. There is demand for skilled candidates and we need to

ensure that this is our number one focus in 2012-to fill these jobs.

Ireland Economic Landscape

One key area which is focused on more than most by our

European media partners is our current unemployment rate,

set at 14.3%, and something which no one can dispute. How

then can we explain the demand for jobs in Ireland across

sectors such as IT, Pharma, Engineering, Banking and

Finance? The area which is showing the biggest demand for

skilled candidates encompasses all of the above and requires

just one thing-an additional language. Multilingual recruitment

continues to grow and shape our economy, with approximately

20’000 new jobs forecasted by the IDA, generated by

international companies choosing to place their shared

service centres within Ireland. We will continue to see this tend

throughout 2012 and beyond, thanks to our partnership with

the IDA and other factors such as a strengthening economy

and better media output relating to our economic stability.

IDA Partnership

The IDA promised at the start of 2011 to encourage new

companies to Ireland at a rate never seen before with a target

of 20’000 jobs created through various shared service centres

and call centre operations. The IDA has hit most assigned

targets and the result is clear given the demand for candidates

who are skilled and multilingual. Their work in developing

partnerships with international companies has allowed Ireland

to get back on the investment map, boosting our attractiveness

as a location for companies to base their operations here in

Ireland. Ireland is well positioned to contribute to this growth

with predictions that Ireland could create almost 20,000 jobs

as a world leader in cloud computing adding €9.5 billion to the

Irish economy by 2014. Leading cloud players already in

Ireland include Microsoft, IBM, SalesForce, D&B, Accenture,

CITI, EMC, SAP and Amazon.

Multilingual

Page 33: Sigmar Recruitment   Salary Guide 2012

Corporate Tax

Ireland’s corporate tax rate has come under scrutiny in recent

months; at 12.5% compared to other Euro nations it’s one of the

lowest within the EU. What is essential to the continued growth

within the Irish economy is our CTR; this has been one of the

key factors when considering Ireland as a potential settling

place for international businesses both small and large. Ireland

as a country is a very attractive option when wishing to relocate

given its busy cities and beautiful countryside but coupled with

an attractive tax rate concession this allows us to ensure a

competitive place within the international investment market.

Ireland as a Growth Industry

Multilingual requirements will continue to grow in 2012, primarily

within the financial and IT sectors. Ireland was quoted as

potentially being the next “silicon valley”, funny as it may seem,

Ireland very much appears to be heading that way with IT firms

spending millions on investment throughout Dublin, Cork,

Galway and Belfast. The finance sector has bounced back more

quickly than anyone expected and particularly within the

accounts sector there will be increased drive in attraction and

retention of experienced and skilled candidates.

Multilingual Demand Sectors

2012 will see increased growth predominantly within multilingual

finance and IT, particularly the following positions:

Finance: Accounts Payable/Receivable, Collections, Accounts

Administrators. These areas will continue to require previous

skill and experience as well as the relevant qualifications

Sales: IT Sales, Lead Development, Sales Support, Channel

Sales, Account Managers-all these areas will continue to be one

of the biggest demand sectors in Ireland. Other strong

economies within the EU such as France and Germany will

continue to see sales development in to these countries which

is where you will see the demand for Sales professionals at all

levels to support this function

Cloud: Cloud Support, Cloud Sales, Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is becoming one of the biggest new concepts

within the IT industry and candidates who have previous

experience in this field or indeed are willing to embrace this new

technology will be sought after.

Marketing

Overall, the Marketing sector is slowly making a comeback. While

the numbers of roles available are nowhere near the levels of

previous years, there has been a slow and steady increase in the

number of companies looking to reinvest in marketing positions.

However the level of experience sought by companies is quite high

with only the most experienced candidates being considered.

The commercial acumen of marketeers is also very important as

the synergy between marketing and sales has become more and

more closely aligned.

2011 saw a huge increase in the number of contract roles and

already 2012 looks set to continue in this fashion. Despite this the

level of experience and expertise remains as high as required for

permanent roles.

In addition, Online Marketing has been an area of significant growth

with this set to continue into 2012.

Marketers are continuing to invest more time and finances into social

networking, creating Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and

LinkedIn pages to correspond with the changing communication and

buying habits of their target market.

In regard to salary, the figures are not that different to those of

2011 with a slight increase in Advertising roles.

Corporate Tax

Ireland’s corporate tax rate has come under scrutiny in recent

months; at 12.5% compared to other Euro nations it’s one of the

lowest within the EU. What is essential to the continued growth

within the Irish economy is our CTR; this has been one of the

key factors when considering Ireland as a potential settling

place for international businesses both small and large. Ireland

as a country is a very attractive option when wishing to relocate

given its busy cities and beautiful countryside but coupled with

an attractive tax rate concession this allows us to ensure a

competitive place within the international investment market.

Ireland as a Growth Industry

Multilingual requirements will continue to grow in 2012, primarily

within the financial and IT sectors. Ireland was quoted as

potentially being the next “silicon valley”, funny as it may seem,

Ireland very much appears to be heading that way with IT firms

39

Sales

2011 saw an increase in demand for experienced sales

professionals in almost all areas, which was positive.

As for 2012, the sales market is predicted to predominately focus

on roles in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, technical and online

sectors.

In recent times there has been an increase in demand for internal

sales candidates as companies look to shift their focus from field

sales to internally based sales teams.

As with previous years, multilingual sales candidates are highly

sought after, with the demand for German speaking candidates

particularly high.

Another area of potential growth is in the export or international

sales arena. Many companies are looking beyond what they see

as a saturated Irish marketplace and are looking for sales

candidates with the ability to develop new markets on an

international basis.

With regard to the level of roles available the majority are at the

mid-management level. While higher level roles are available,

such as Country Managers and Commercial Directors, these

positions will be less frequently recruited for in comparison to

previous years.

The demand for entry level roles is low as employers are looking

for experience. In order for graduate and junior sales people to

enter the world of sales, commission only roles or internships

may need to be considered.

As with 2011, there is still a low demand for sales people in the

construction and financial services industries, with this trend set

to continue for the foreseeable future. It is recommended that

candidates from these industries consider re-skilling in order to

open up new possible avenues of employment.

All in all, the outlook is largely positive with a strong end to 2011

hopefully signaling an equally strong start to 2012.

IT continues to be one of Ireland’s largest exports in 2011, which

has been reflected by the subsequent growth in the IT job sector.

Ireland’s highly skilled/educated work force and competitive

corporation tax continues to attract foreign investment with 9/10

global ICT companies maintaining a presence in Ireland and all of

the top 5 software companies having a significant presence in

Ireland.

The current trend is that of significant demand in certain IT

disciplines: Software Development, Application Support, Software

Testing, Infrastructure Administration / Support and to a lesser

extent IT Audit/Compliance, Business Analysis and Project

Management.

Peak demand exists for Java / J2EE developers and C# / .NET /

ASP.NET developers with strong SQL skills. Increasingly there is an

emphasis on large scale Web development experience calling for

technologies like Ajax, DHTML and LAMP. The whole area of User

Experience (UX) or User Interface (UI) skills is growing in

importance as companies try to deliver a more content rich,

user-centred experience.

Mobile Computing is an area of huge growth. Smartphone’s and

other mobile devices are exploding in popularity which is driving the

development of more and more applications so iPhone and Android

Apps development skills are being increasingly sought.

Virtualisation and Cloud Computing in general continues to be a

huge trend with a significant percentage of companies looking to

derive the cost savings from switching to virtual setups. This is

driving demand for skills such as VMware and Hyper-V in particular.

Another area of growth in Ireland is that of Games development

with several companies locating or expanding operations here.

Interestingly these operations are less Dublin-centric with Cork

and Galway both developing as hubs of excellence in this

sphere.

Due to the buoyancy in the IT market, there is an increasing shift

of candidates with in-demand skills moving from salaried

permanent jobs into more lucrative daily rate contract roles.

With demand far outweighing supply in certain disciplines, most

companies are willing to consider candidates from outside

Ireland once they are genuine in their intentions to relocate to

Ireland.

2011 saw the continued shift from more generalist manufacturing

and production roles towards more strategic and specialist

positions. Trends over the last three years have prevailed, where

recruitment has focused on higher end production and R&D

developments as a result of multinational production migrating to

Eastern Europe and the Far East. Smaller organisations have

managed to keep costs down and further increase

competitiveness, and overall we note a reduction in the number of

redundancies in manual and lower skilled positions.

There has been a significant increase in the amount of contract

staff employed, with employers attracted to the flexibility and cost

effectiveness external payroll can deliver.

Electrical and Electronic engineers continue to be in high demand

across power generation, power transmission and R&D sectors.

Previous reduction in outsourced facilities & ancillary service

companies have levelled out with some companies returning to

outsource these functions.

Large numbers of service companies, financial services corporate

bodies as well as high end manufacturing companies have

continued to embraced Lean Six Sigma styled process improvement

initiatives. These initiatives are providing strategic opportunities for

engineers who have a natural affinity for analysis and improvement.

From the employer perspective utilising leaner and more customer

focused processes results in the win-win scenario of improving

customer satisfaction while reducing costs.

2011 marked a mixed year for pharmaceutical companies in

Ireland. There has been some major investments but most

companies have continued to consolidate in order to deal with

sometimes difficult international economic conditions. There is a

focus on temporary or fixed term contract recruitment as

companies continue to manage their headcount.

Ireland still has an excellent level of investment from top

multinational pharmaceutical firms with some major investment

taking place in the last quarter of 2011, but the sector is dealing

with a number of issues which affect growth - patent expiries, the

rising costs of clinical research, and the growth of generic

producers.

The potential collapse of the Euro poses a major threat to the

pharmaceutical industry in Ireland with many of the major

companies keeping an keen eye on developments at EU level.

However, with the retention on the 12.5% corporation tax rate and

the current increase in competitiveness in the economy having an

effect, Ireland should be well placed to retain its prominent position

as a base for both research and production.

The medical device sector has also had a high level of investment,

and there has been strong recruitment activity in this area with

announcements of 300-400 jobs in recent weeks. There has been

a number of positive announcements in recent months on

investments from international companies in Connacht, the

Midlands and the South East, which will help to maintain these

regions as dynamic hubs for medical device organisations.

Throughout life sciences, the vast majority of new positions are

contract or temporary roles, and for permanent or long-term

contract roles, companies are proceeding through the process

with caution, often taking a number of months to finalise a process

and decision regarding a position.

Salaries, in 2011, for most levels within the life science sector

remained the same, although there was a slight drop in some

areas due to the increased supply of candidates. There is still a

strong demand for certain areas such as regulatory affairs

professionals, validation and process specialists, and certain

areas in chemistry. For 2012, we don’t envisage major changes in

pay levels and a continuing emphasis on contract roles.

Electrical and Electronic engineers continue to be in high demand

across power generation, power transmission and R&D sectors.

Previous reduction in outsourced facilities & ancillary service

companies have levelled out with some companies returning to

outsource these functions.

Large numbers of service companies, financial services corporate

bodies as well as high end manufacturing companies have

continued to embraced Lean Six Sigma styled process improvement

initiatives. These initiatives are providing strategic opportunities for

engineers who have a natural affinity for analysis and improvement.

From the employer perspective utilising leaner and more customer

focused processes results in the win-win scenario of improving

customer satisfaction while reducing costs.

Supply Chain & Logistics

The Sigmar Supply Chain team are experts in recruitment of Junior

to Executive positions across all industry sectors including,

Manufacturing, FMCG, 3rd Party Logistics and Pharmaceutical.

We have achieved large success in recruiting for some of Ireland’s

largest employers including The Kerry Group, Microsoft,

Wincanton, Openhydro, Diageo and Arvato Digital Services

among many others.

Supply Chain is now seen as a very important function for any

business; it is vital that companies design and implement high

performing supply chains in order to compete in today’s ever

changing business environment. An efficient supply chain means

significant cost savings and because of this we have seen great

improvements within Supply Chain recruitment particularly in the

area of procurement.

The main objective of Procurement is to achieve greater efficiency

and value for money in the sourcing of all goods and services this

often means sourcing products and raw materials on a global

platform, so it is a vital function for any successful company.

Procurement structures were traditionally in place in

Pharmaceutical and IT companies such as Microsoft, Apple,

Flextronics and Pfizer but is now seen as an essential business

function within all industries. Clients look for candidates with a

specific skill set and this often means sourcing candidates from

their direct competitors. Positions are seen both on the direct and

indirect sides of the business while operating at a European and

Global level.

Another quality we look for is change management, for example

the ability of a candidate to manage change from a European remit

to a global remit is a very important quality in today’s international

business environment. We have seen skills gaps in the area of

category and commodity management, strategic leadership and

strong logistics candidates who are bilingual and have 3pl vendor

management experience.

Experience on specific projects is also a big part of our search.

Social media websites such as LinkedIn and Twitter have become

a huge search tool for professionals with the specific skill sets

required by our clients. Most companies now are searching for a

creative solution to evolve their supply chain and candidates with

previous experience delivering projects have a distinct advantage

in the job market.

2011 marked a mixed year for pharmaceutical companies in

Ireland. There has been some major investments but most

companies have continued to consolidate in order to deal with

sometimes difficult international economic conditions. There is a

focus on temporary or fixed term contract recruitment as

companies continue to manage their headcount.

Ireland still has an excellent level of investment from top

multinational pharmaceutical firms with some major investment

taking place in the last quarter of 2011, but the sector is dealing

with a number of issues which affect growth - patent expiries, the

rising costs of clinical research, and the growth of generic

producers.

Throughout life sciences, the vast majority of new positions are

contract or temporary roles, and for permanent or long-term

contract roles, companies are proceeding through the process

with caution, often taking a number of months to finalise a process

and decision regarding a position.

Salaries, in 2011, for most levels within the life science sector

remained the same, although there was a slight drop in some

areas due to the increased supply of candidates. There is still a

strong demand for certain areas such as regulatory affairs

professionals, validation and process specialists, and certain

areas in chemistry. For 2012, we don’t envisage major changes in

pay levels and a continuing emphasis on contract roles.

The construction and property services department has had a

busy year in relation to recruitment within the areas of

mechanical/electrical installations, power engineering, renewable

energy and industrial project engineering.

M&E has been the most durable area of Ireland’s construction

industry and prominent companies in the sector have had access

to project work in the industrial environment. As a result,

companies in the sector have recruited for project engineers,

planners and project managers.

In a related sector, the high voltage electrical engineering sector

is also quite robust although there are not a large number of

companies in Ireland specialising in the area. In general there are

opportunities readily available for power systems and high voltage

design engineers.

Companies specialising in the process and project engineering

within relevant industries such as pharmaceutical, electronics and

process in general have had a busy year with some major

multinational companies investing in new facilities and

refurbishment, both in Leinster and Munster. As has been the case

in the past, many of the roles are contract positions with hourly

rates relatively stable after dropping in recent years since the

boom in the last decade.

Renewable Energy is a busy sector particularly for companies

working on innovative technology. Such companies are mainly

looking to recruit project management and project engineering

professionals as well as specialized manufacturing and design

professionals. This is an area likely to see further growth in years

to come.

Facilities Management has not seen as much activity as in 2010,

as after a busy start to the year, the second half of 2011 was not

as busy for companies recruiting or taking on new projects or

business. There may be a saturation in the market as a number of

large players in the facilities sectors have not seen much growth

in recent years.

The main contracting area of construction has not seen an upturn

although companies working in refurbishment and industrial

sectors are continuing to win projects. Many skilled personnel from

this country are employed overseas as they have found much

more career opportunity in Australia, the Middle East and even

within Europe.
