Salary Guide 2013
Czech Republic
reedglobal.cz
Market Overview
The Czech Republic retains its popularity among large
corporates as an excellent country in which to locate
their international service centres, and also for business
process outsourcing organisations to base themselves.
Meanwhile the valuable local talent pool, supplemented
by skilled international candidates, keeps IT, engineering,
energy and accountancy as particularly strong
employment sectors.
The value of outsourcing to the overall economy extends
to HR, where some employers are choosing to adopt a
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) approach as a
means of extracting additional performance improvements
and cost efficiencies.
A partnership approach
The ongoing recession is leading many organisations
to work more closely with their resourcing solution
partners, as they explore a multitude of possible ways
they can become more effective. For some this may mean
adopting a search approach for certain hard to fill roles,
while for others it could be pursuing an RPO strategy for
volume recruitment projects.
Against a backdrop of continuing challenging economic conditions
within the Czech Republic, where the recession shows little sign of
ending and unemployment remains close to 10 per cent, employers are
searching for increased efficiencies in 2013 and exploring how they can
improve the effectiveness of their human capital.
In this environment, enlightened HR professionals can cement their
value to the business by implementing innovative resourcing solutions
that make a positive impact on the bottom line.
What next?
In these continued tough trading conditions, it is
impossible to overstate the importance of recruiting and
retaining the very best available talent.
If you think your business might be able to benefit from
additional resourcing experience and expertise, speak
with the resourcing experts here at REED to find out how
we could help you deliver your recruitment and retention
plans in the Czech Republic where we are proud to be
celebrating our fifth anniversary in April 2013.
However, if it is specific market intelligence that you would
like, or an insight into candidate availability or current
market rates, then our experienced consultants would be
happy to help there too.
Similarly, if you anticipate making an executive or senior
management appointment in the coming months, we
have the recruitment expertise, contacts and capacity
to help you bring in the best available talent to help drive
your business forward.
We look forward to hearing from you.
For many businesses, the greatest impact is made by
experienced individuals with specific expertise in critical
areas. However, finding these hard to locate mid and
senior-level people and then bringing them into a business
requires detailed sector knowledge, unrivalled recruitment
expertise, a search approach and access to a wide pool
of talented individual: a combination of factors rarely found
outside of an established resourcing solutions agency.
Recruitment trends
With unemployment expected to remain high over the
next 12 months, online job advertisements are unlikely
to be the best approach for many vacancies, as they will
attract high numbers of applications - many of which are
likely to come from increasingly anxious job seekers who
do not possess the skills and experience required.
A more strategic approach will yield the best results,
with recruitment agencies tailoring how they work with
employers in order to deliver suitably talented candidates
in the most timely and cost-effective manner.
We also expect there to be an increase in demand from
employers for their recruitment partners to provide RPO
solutions, as these can deliver a wide range of cost and
performance benefits in certain situations – such as
volume recruitment.
Matt Foster
Regional Director, EMEA
Accounting & Finance
Banking
The continued importance of finance professionals to the survival and growth of organisations will
ensure individual roles continue to be filled when they become vacant. However, employers are
increasingly also looking for financial candidates that additionally possess business acumen and
good communication skills, so that they can bring even more value to the business.
The banking sector looks set for a fairly flat 2013, although we expect increased demand for front
office positions dealing with high net worth individuals, as well as for experienced corporate
bankers with strong acquisition skills and knowledge of English.
In particular, we expect there will continue to be strong demand for Financial Controllers and
Business Analysts.

HR & Training
The IT sector is expected to grow in the next 12 months, as the Czech Republic remains attractive
to investors because of its skilled local workforce and low production costs. This is expected to
manifest itself through further investment in IT service centres and software development centres,
as well as a strengthening of in-house IT functions.

Sales professionals with strong track records of success – whether as Key Account Managers or
in New Business Acquisition roles – continue to be in very high demand, especially in the growing
FMCG sector. Competition for these individuals is fierce, which is causing salary inflation.
The main demand will be for IT Developers, Analysts and Senior System Administration Specialists,
while there is not expected to be much call for Project Managers and general IT Managers.
Marketing continues to grow in stature and size, especially in the online and social media
environments. However, the rapid rate at which marketing in the social media is expanding makes
it inevitable that there is a marked shortage of proven specialists.
