Hiring for Executives in Ireland.

The executive job market showed resilience in 2023, exhibiting sector-specific fluctuations in demand. Notably, the financial services sector maintains a strong demand for leaders possessing regulatory expertise and technological proficiency.

Due to the macroeconomic environment, candidates - while open to new opportunities - are avoiding uncertainty and often preferring to retain their current positions, leading to extended negotiation periods and counteroffers.

Expectations for the near future are optimistic. There is a growing trend toward seeking strategic partnerships between firms and executive search agencies.

Up, down or flat? The state of salaries.

Due to the uncertainty causing candidates to be hesitant about moving roles, organisations are becoming more aggressive in terms of counter-offering which has led to significant increases in salaries. This is set to continue in 2024.
