Updated Salary Guide for Q3 & Q4 2022

Recruitment of HR, Marketing and associated professionals during the first half of 2022 has surpassed previous records. Accurate commentary for salary reviews, recruitment of staff, and retention of key talent is absolutely essential.

Due to the challenges presented by cost of living and inflationary pressures, Abacus Careers has taken the decision to update its salary guidance for Q3 & Q4 2022.

Published in August 2022, we have created our most comprehensive and up-to-date guide on pay and reward in the Northern Ireland marketplace.

The tables below provide guidance on basic salary levels for a range of positions. No consideration of benefits, bonuses, or other emoluments is included in these ranges. The information has been summarised by the Business Services Recruitment team at Abacus Careers and is based upon salary information provided by candidates in-post throughout 2021 and into 2022.
