2018
In 2018, levels of hiring activity across all disciplines remained high as
Belgium continued to experience strong levels of economic growth.
In particular the interim management market grew rapidly,

most notably in the fields of finance, operations (production
and supply chain) and project management.
Despite this, drawn-out recruitment processes remained a key

challenge as employers had to contend with candidate shortages
across the board. As a result, we saw companies committing to
hiring permanent staff at a faster rate than previous years.
The financial services sector continued to perform well, with employers

placing high value on top talent from a ‘Big 4’ background. Auditors,
risk managers and compliance officers remained in demand, as
well as IT professionals, as the presence of digitalisation within the
banking sector continued to play a prominent role in new projects.
Competition between firms all seeking ‘similar types’ of candidates
resulted in roles being filled at a much slower rate than usual.
Companies struggled to recruit for junior finance roles as more

candidates chose to take sabbatical leave, travel or continue further
education after obtaining their qualifications. In turn, there was an
increase in hiring levels for senior candidates as companies sought
to fill roles with qualified and experienced professionals.

2018
The French economy continued on its stable trajectory which in turn had a positive
impact on business confidence. Increased hiring levels at the start of the year
meant that most sectors were at full capacity at the mid-senior level in 2018.
Interim management experienced strong growth as reactivity and project-based

working were key demands from companies willing to undertake strategic
transformations.
We saw a number of companies start to set up offices in France as a result

of the “Macron effect” and Brexit. In anticipation of this, international banks
identified France as an appealing marketplace to establish themselves. This
led to an increased demand to build new front-office and back-office teams.
Investments in major infrastructure projects such as the 2024 Olympic Games

and the "Greater Paris" project have led to an increased demand for candidates
in the construction and real estate sectors. The acceleration of supply chain
processes has put emphasis on the need for experienced professionals
who can help with the structure and improvement of these projects.
The introduction of GDPR resulted in companies paying close attention

to their IT security, ERP and data policies. Strong specialist skills in data
protection were particularly sought after among legal candidates. The
effects of GDPR were also felt within marketing and HR teams who
were involved in the consolidation of major transformation projects.
Salaries were back at the centre of a candidate’s decision-making process,

as hiring managers were having to contend with competing counter-offers
and salary inflations.

Germany
2018
The German recruitment market has been highly active for a number of disciplines
across many locations but Hamburg, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf were particularly busy.
Mittelstand companies are the backbone of the German economy and continue
to go through a period of transformation – both geographically and digitally. As
such, mid-senior professionals have been in particular demand as hiring managers
sought candidates who help navigate the company through change and growth.
Frankfurt experienced a big upturn in financial services, partly in relation to Brexit.

As a result, demand was particularly high for roles associated with risk,
compliance, audit, finance and regulatory legal.
In the regions, we saw an increase in hiring activity in digital marketing across

both Düsseldorf and Cologne. Unlike the situation in the majority of other
sectors that were having to contend with a shortage of high-quality candidates,
the talent pool for digital marketing seemed to be getting better as we saw
millennials naturally upskill and move away from traditional marketing roles.
The technology sector continued to grow, with areas such as Hamburg and
Berlin transforming themselves into hubs. There were a number of projects under
way in 2018 resulting in an increase in both permanent and freelance roles.
Salary growth across most of Germany was fairly moderate despite

a tightening candidate market. Companies off set this with the
introduction of more non-wage benefits such as flexible working.
Frankfurt, however, saw significant increases in salaries and

bonuses for highly skilled workers who could speak multiple

already started to gear up for a
post-Brexit market and, as a result,
recruitment activity will increase.
Financial services, consultancy and

law firms will all have to contend with
candidate shortages. As a result,
companies will do their best to hold
on to top talent through internal
promotions and salary increases.
We will see this trend continue at
senior levels as a number of C-suite
hires will likely be internal transfers.

Ireland
2018
The Irish recruitment market was extremely buoyant across multiple sectors,
driven in part by companies establishing a European base in Dublin as a result
of Brexit. This had a positive impact on the demand for a number of skill sets
within financial services, namely across risk, finance, legal and compliance.
Demand for qualified accountants increased, in particular for

candidates from a 'Big 4' background with experience dealing with
the Central Bank of Ireland from a regulatory standpoint.
As management companies (ManCos) established themselves in

Dublin, opportunities grew for compliance, governance, investment and
portfolio risk professionals. Demand for risk management professionals
rose dramatically as the regulator continued to increase requirements
for more robust risk frameworks and deeper regulatory expertise.
The focus on AML, financial crime, GDPR, information security and MiFID II
resulted in volume hiring across all industries within the compliance sector.
Increased importance was placed on cyber security; however hiring managers
found themselves having to contend with a European-wide skills shortage
within information security monitoring and vulnerability management.
The candidate driven market led to an increase in counter-offers as

companies aimed to retain top talent. Within the financial services
sector, specialist positions saw an increase of 20-30%, which was
replicated in both information technology and cyber security.

Luxembourg
2018
The recruitment market in Luxembourg was largely consistent with the trends
seen in 2018, with financial services seeing the highest levels of activity.
Luxembourg continues to remain a dynamic and attractive market for national

and international candidates, with professionals benefiting from great working
conditions, foreign investment and a great place to live and develop one’s career.
The impact of Brexit has remained a key factor in recruitment activity

levels, as more international companies sought to set up offices in
major European countries that have a strong financial services base.
As such, professionals currently based in the UK and across Europe
took an active interest in opportunities available within the market.
Widespread candidate shortages meant professionals received multiple

offers at once, which in turn pushed up salaries. In an effort to control
costs while still attracting top-calibre candidates, some companies linked
salary and bonus packages to company and/or individual performance.
While the market was candidate short, we saw increased activity from
professionals looking for new roles. In many cases, professionals took a
“passive jobseeking” approach, speaking to recruiters discreetly in order to
gain a better understanding of the kinds of opportunities available to them.

2018
The economy continued to perform well in 2018, resulting in a spike in
demand for junior- and mid-level professionals. Mobility at the senior level
also showed significant growth. As a result, employers were met with a
scarcity of candidates and were required to think outside the box in order to fill
positions, with education or experience not always being the deciding factor.
Companies focused on attracting graduates straight out of university and

employing them in junior roles. Firms were also taking note of millennials' needs
and started to make changes to working practices and environment in
order to encourage retention.
At the start of 2018, organisations were hesitant to contract interim professionals

as they were uncertain about the impact of the DBA Act, which established
new conditions for the hiring of self-employed staff. Once this agreement was
postponed, interim demand picked up quickly and kept growing throughout
the year. Flexibility is key in organisations’ ability to scale up in this fast-
growing economy, creating a spur in hiring levels for temporary staff.
In banking and financial services, budgets across all disciplines were tight,
resulting in salaries remaining relatively fixed. The focus was on hiring
critical roles in risk and compliance.
Ample opportunities remained within the commerce, healthcare and

manufacturing sectors, and in the legal sector demand was high for
candidates from a privacy law or intellectual property background.

Portugal
2018
The Portuguese economy experienced another good year with steady growth of 2%
after a turbulent few years. The unemployment rate has been decreasing year-on-
year, from 18% in 2016, 7.9% in 2017, to 6.7% in 2018: the lowest unemployment
rate since the second quarter of 2004. One thing was clear in 2018 – companies
were recruiting again.
Business investment increased, and parallel to this, we saw an increase in the

number of international companies beginning to open in Portugal. With this came an
abundance of opportunities across all sectors.
Leading the way was the IT sector, with IT developers being particularly sought after.
As in previous years, hiring managers had to contend with a large candidate shortage
in this area. As a result, the sector was driven by temps and freelancers who were
able to command premiums.
Increased business confidence had a positive impact on the real estate sector. We
saw a number of companies invest through the purchase of buildings and real estate
refurb programmes, along with buying land and constructing new developments. A
boost in consumer confidence and tourism meant that the services sector was back
to recruiting at high levels, particularly in large metropolitan areas.
Whilst salaries in the IT sector have increased year-on-year, other sectors did not
experience the same salary growth in 2018. It was not uncommon for those in
management positions to have more focus placed on progression, rather than
remuneration packages.

2018
The economy has continued to perform well for a fifth consecutive year,
this had a positive knock-on effect within the labour market which in
previous years has suffered from the economic crisis. For the first time in
years we saw job creation across the board, with the service sector proving
the most resilient.
The highest demand for candidates continued to be within labour-intensive

sectors, most notably in housing (construction and real estate), automotive
and tourism.
Spain was highly competitive in the renewable energy sector, resulting in

an increase in demand for engineers. The same was true for investment
banking, where analysts and portfolio managers were highly sought after.
Barcelona has been consolidating its image in the digital world, and so
the demand for digital profiles grew significantly compared to previous
years. The country as a whole has made a name for itself in the information
security (IT) sector which is one of the biggest areas of recruitment in
Europe. However companies have had to contend with both a skills and
candidate shortage, which we expect to continue in 2019.
Salaries have increased at a slower rate than the growth of the economy.
In 2018, salaries increased by 10%, following eight years of stagnation.

Switzerland
2018
The Swiss recruitment market remained steady in 2018, with no real major peaks or
troughs.
Demand was most prevalent within the IT sector as companies looked towards
process optimisation and automation as a way of remaining competitive on both a
domestic and international level.
An ongoing focus on innovation and an upturn in fintech companies linked to crypto

currency, meant that candidates with a strong technology background continued to
be highly sought after.
Switzerland continues to be a hub for wealth management, with all major

international banks having a base in the region. Despite this, migration of finance-
related top talent from abroad has always been relatively low and, as a result,
companies were having to contend with an acute lack of specialists across the
fiduciary sector, most notably asset managers.
The pharmaceutical sector, saw an increase in skilled labour coming into the
country, with Switzerland being a wise choice for those looking to learn from the
best and future-proof their careers.
