A salary guide is a comprehensive report that provides salary benchmarks, market trends, and compensation data for various job roles across different industries and locations. It is usually created by industry experts and recruitment specialists who analyse data from thousands of professionals to offer an up-to-date snapshot of the job market.
Hiring managers use salary guides to build competitive compensation packages, plan budgets, and improve employee retention. For professionals, it acts as an essential resource for determining market value and negotiating starting salaries or pay rises.
The benchmarks provided in Morgan McKinley’s salary guides are powered by proprietary market intelligence rather than generic or third-party surveys. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, we derive our figures from:
- Analysing thousands of job offers and placements managed by our offices over the past year
- On-the-ground intelligence from our recruitment consultants who work daily within these specific sectors and understand current demand
- Data from our annual surveys involving thousands of employers and professionals
This multi-layered approach ensures our data reflects the live market and gives an accurate representation of current compensation levels.
The annual salaries listed in the guide typically represent the base salary only. We focus on base salary to provide a consistent benchmark across different industries, as bonuses and benefits can vary significantly between companies.
However, for specific performance-driven roles (such as Sales), we recognise that variable pay is a core part of the compensation. Where possible, we have included both the base salary data and the data for on-target earnings (OTE).
