Cpl, Ireland’s leading talent solutions provider, has released its salary guide for 2025 which details the expected salaries for a wide range of roles across 20 different sectors.
The Cpl Salary Guide reinforces the importance of competitive compensation in successful talent management and enables organisations to be aware of prevailing market rates for key roles to attract and retain skilled employees.
Highlighting the low, medium and high compensation rates for many key roles, this year’s Guide confirms that compensation remains a central element of talent strategies. Over 8 in 10 (84%) employers are planning salary increases averaging 3.4% in 2025.
However Cpl, through this detailed Guide, also emphasise that financial incentives alone no longer suffice. Today’s workforce prioritise career development and meaningful work, with many professionals citing learning opportunities as critical to their career decisions.
Áine Fanning, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Cpl said:
“We are delighted to release our 2025 Salary Guide as it is a great benchmark and resource for employers and employees alike offering insights into remuneration in so many sectors and roles. Guidance like this is key as we continue to work in a rapidly transforming environment. For instance we continue to see a vast majority of Irish employees favouring hybrid or remote arrangements. Our own research shows that 60% of candidates would turn down a new position if it didn’t meet their hybrid working needs. However the dynamic is shifting as are beginning to see a decrease in fully remote job postings but also in hybrid. This trend suggests that the future of work in Ireland will require a thoughtful balance to ensure that operational needs align with the flexibility employees value.”
Ms Fanning continued:
“Our clients face complex business challenges that go far beyond filling roles. They’re looking for a strategic talent partner who can help them navigate transformation and build genuinely sustainable workforces to stay competitive. That’s where Cpl makes the difference – we bring over three decades of experience and a complete suite of talent solutions to help organisations succeed.
From specialised recruitment, managed services, and outsourcing to strategic advisory, we’re committed to delivering measurable results that transform organisations for the future.”
