INTRODUCTION
We would like to present to you the sixth edition of the Antal International report about the salaries
offered to professionals and managers. We made every effort to make it a valuable source of informa-
tion for both employees and employers. The current situation in the Polish market bodes well for pro-
fessionals and managers allowing them to make optimistic growth plans for the future. The economy
is stable and foreign investment is on the rise contributing to the feeling of security and opening new
paths of career development. Employers will be faced with the challenge of dealing with an employees'
market. The winners will be the companies who will not only draw in the best talent, but will also be
able to retain it. The data presented in the report may serve as a reference point when negotiating
salaries and determining remunerations of specific positions. The data is accompanied by comments
of our experts describing the trends and forecasts for individual industries and disciplines. Therefore,
we believe that this report will provide you with a reliable profile of the professional and managerial
labour market.

I hope you will find the report inspiring,

PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD ANTAL

METHODOLOGY
Antal Salary Report 2015 has been prepared with the use of 3 sources of data. The first being
CAWI and CATI research conducted between November and Devember 2015 on a sample of 3427
respondents from Poland. The data thus acquired was then verified and expanded with the use of
information gathered in 850 recruitment processes conducted by Antal, as well as telephone interviews
with employers and candidates. The research covered salaries offered in recruitment processes for
professional and managerial positions and encompassed individuals who possessed a minimum of
two-year work experience in medium and large companies, both Polish and multinational. The report
presents monthly total, average and gross salaries actual salaries at specific positions are often
dependent on a number of factors (see How to Read the Report? section).

LEGAL

We have been observing an interesting trend in the Polish legal services market for some
time now. The loosening of regulations had little impact on the professional and mana-
gerial labour market just a few years ago, but recently we have witnessed growing com-
petition among young lawyers. They are mainly applying for professional positions, with
a very small number seeking managerial jobs. This is caused by a certain irregularity in the
labour market, with elements of both an employer's and candidate's market being present.
The fierce competition is starting to affect more experienced lawyers, which is reflected
by salaries. The best among them earn much more and have access to better benefits.

Experience and knowledge of the market and consumer needs, as well as being able to
skilfully tailor planned activities to market trends have all been important in the last few
years. Sales is a very competitive field, therefore companies continue increasing expecta-
tions towards new employees. Both small and big organizations value creativity and swift
action, but also long-term thinking, which allows them to leave the competition behind
and increase their market share.

Internet/Media/E-commerce
The Internet/Media/E-commerce recruitment market has been undergoing rapid changes
since the start of 2016. We are witnessing a significant increase in the demand for candi-
dates for broadly-defined online positions in companies from various industries. Market-
ing agencies, media houses and e-commerce platforms, which have been in business for
a long time, are all constantly looking for new candidates. High employment dynamics are
also present in the FMCG and pharmaceuticals sectors, as companies require candidates
with online competences to fill newly-created positions. As regards the candidates them-
selves, they are becoming more careful when considering job changes and the companies
that win them over have to offer more than just a high salary. Candidates in the sector
are very focused on personal development and broadening their competences to keep up
with the rapidly-changing online market.

PHARMA & MEDICAL DEVICES

It has been another year of change for the pharmaceutical and medical industries, with
more acquisitions of entire companies and select product ranges. Some companies are
expanding their offerings by introducing innovative therapies, more generic drugs and
constantly searching for foreign-made products that may be introduced in the Polish mar-
ket. Changes in regulations, including the introduction of the Good Distribution Practice
guidelines, also contribute to shifts and transformations within pharmaceutical compa-
nies, therefore experienced wholesalers, who have successfully obtained licences in the
past, are in high demand and their salaries are on the rise. The industry also tries to keep
up with digital solutions, thus the demand for candidates with computer skills is very high
and they may expect very good salaries. We are also witnessing the constant growth of
medical departments, however our clients are often complaining that drawing in candi-
dates with medical degrees is difficult, and individuals with many scientific achievements
to their name are currently very sought after and well paid.

FINANSE I KSIGOWO

In the last year we have witnessed many signs of the finance sector becoming a candi-
date's market, which resulted from a shortage of candidates with competences needed by
employers. The law of supply and demand required employers to compete over the best
employees, which resulted in higher salaries being offered to prospective candidates. The
ongoing rapid growth of SSCs/BPO centres, which handle increasingly more complex fi-
nance processes, including controlling, taxes and reporting, as well as the good economic
outlook that results in new jobs being created allow us to predict that the positive trends
will continue into the future.

BANKING & INSURANCE

During the previous year we have observed a modest increase in salaries in middle and
senior professional and managerial positions in the banking and insurance sectors. With
the sole exception of IT employees, the finance market clearly favours employers. The
supply of employees greatly exceeds the demand for them and the willingness to take on
new challenges. Ongoing regulatory changes, uncertainty concerning government proj-
ects and the resulting forecasts of diminishing returns of banks and insurance companies
force employers to cut spending. By doing this they are preparing for possible revenue
drops in the future caused by further changes. Companies are also undergoing ownership
changes and revising their strategic goals. All of the above contributes to companies hold-
ing out for what the future will bring. However, there are areas in which the demand for
talented employees remains high. The study proves that, despite the seemingly unfavour-
able conditions, salaries have nevertheless increased. This is caused by the candidates
that we work with being among the most talented professionals and managers, who may
still count on being offered a competitive salary and other benefits meant to encourage
them to change employers. Even if most companies are holding back on making important
decisions, they still require the best talent to reach their strategic goals.

Foreign language skills


Foreign language skills are another factor that influences salaries. Financial institutions out-
source some tasks and, for example, risk-related work is performed in an international environ-
ment. The most requested languages include English, German, French and Spanish.

Professional achievements
Remunerations are also affected by track records and achievements. Employers value all
achievements that contribute to boosting effectiveness, improving results, increasing quality
or the bottom line. They wish to talk about work and its outcomes rather than general topics
regarding the candidates' skills. The outcomes serve as proof of the employee's potential and
increase his or her value in the eyes of the employer.

INYNIERIA I LOGISTYKA

In 2015 we wondered whether the predictions of a 'war over engineers' breaking out
between employers would prove true. Some areas of the market have certainly become
more favourable to candidates in 2016. This is attested to by an abundance of interesting
job offers as well as the accounts of candidates, who claim that they often take part in
more than one recruitment process at a time. This is true for both professionals and man-
agers. New positions in Polish organizations are being created because of the expansion
of manufacturing companies into other countries. Multinational corporations are also de-
ciding to transfer new responsibilities to the Polish business units of their European struc-
tures. Many very talented engineers and managers are provided growth opportunities in
their organizations, which contributes to an increase of salaries coupled with broadening
their scope of duties and responsibilities.
The differences between the manufacturing and logistics sectors are marginal. Expenses
are still of crucial importance in the transport, logistics and freight forwarding sector,
therefore the strong competition in the market makes employers reluctant to raise sala-
ries, which have not increased since 2015.

HR & ADMINISTRATION

For the last few years we have witnessed a transformation of roles in the HR industry. The
number of specialised positions is steadily growing. These include remuneration special-
ists, recruiters, HR Business Partners, but also employer branding, benefits and remuner-
ation analysis specialists, all of whom are becoming commonplace in today's companies.
This process will most likely continue growing in the future.
Of course a lot depends on the sector, type of company and simply the specific charac-
teristics of individual organizations. If the business of a company relies strongly on HR
activities, with a significant impact on the company's bottom line, mission, vision and
strategy, the remunerations of HR specialists reflect that.

The SSC/BPO sector, which has grown by 20% over the last year, is a good example of
an industry in which HR processes have evolved greatly in recent years and salaries have
increased accordingly. Such rapid growth requires organizations to implement develop-
ment strategies that include coordinated HR activities addressing the various needs of
the organization. It is in this sector that we have observed the highest increase of salaries
earned by HR and administration specialists. This holds especially true for experienced
recruitment specialists.

SSC/BPO

The SSC/BPO sector continues to be one of the most dynamic labour markets, therefore
the salaries offered are mostly dependent on the number of new services centres being
opened in a given location and the types of processes that are being outsourced to Po-
land. We may assume that salaries grow by 5-10% each year in cities where several new
centres have been set up. The organizations that built their centres a few years ago must
therefore constantly keep track of the labour market to compete with new companies.
Start-ups often lure candidates with prospects of fast professional development, oppor-
tunities of travelling abroad to transfer business processes, as well as high salaries and
