Welcome
Welcome to the Michael Page Salary & Employment Forecast for 2013.
As part of PageGroup, Michael Page is a worldwide leader in specialist recruitment.

We have evolved to become one of the best known and most respected recruitment consultancies in the world and are proud to set the standard within our profession for specialist service with a personal touch.
Coming from all major industry sectors, our clients range from market leading multinationals to small and medium sized enterprises.
There are a number of current industry surveys that provide qualitative insight on hiring intentions and salary levels, however the Michael Page Salary & Employment Forecast combines both quantitative and qualitative research derived from our national survey of employers and our extensive involvement in the professional labour market.
Our national annual survey, completed by almost 800 employers this year, covers a range of issues and trends relevant to today’s corporate sector and establishes the Salary & Employment Forecast as a highly reputable report, based on in–depth national research.
The Salary & Employment Forecast provides employers and job seekers with useful insights into the hiring expectations, recruitment challenges and wage forecasts of hiring managers over the coming year, and covers eleven key areas of specialisation as detailed below:
- Engineering
- Finance
- Financial Services
- Healthcare & Life Sciences
- Human Resources
- Legal
- Office Support
- Procurement & Supply Chain
- Sales & Marketing
- Technology
- Temporary & Contracts
I wish to thank everyone who contributed to this year’s Salary & Employment Forecast and trust you will find the new report helpful and informative. We welcome your feedback and encourage you to contact us for further information or market specific advice.
