Without question, the latter stages of 2016 have resulted in this year being ‘the year of the candidate’ and this looks set to remain firmly in place in 2017.

The race across the country in order to find the very best talent is ever increasing and, in turn, we have seen this is not only impacting the salaries of the candidates in highest demand but the number of high quality options per candidate is also increasing. Clients therefore have to be more creative in their recruitment process to ensure they can provide the best experience to candidates throughout the hiring process.

In summary, the sourcing for talent has never been more competitive, as such; I hope this guide proves to be a helpful first step towards helping you and your business navigate through the many challenges ahead when it comes to attracting and retaining the very best talent for your business.

This report is merely a guide point however we expect to see trends change and develop over the next 12 months.

In order to ensure you remain ahead of the competition, whatever your sourcing needs, please do not hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you.

Finally, we look forward to working closely with you in 2017 and, on behalf of the whole REED family; we wish you a successful and prosperous year ahead.

Andrew Finlayson Managing Director, EMEA REED

Welcome to the REED Czech Republic Salary and Market Insight Guide for 2017. This is a comprehensive report containing reference material collated from thousands of conversations and interactions that take place each year with both our clients and our candidates in Czech Republic.

Introduction

Accountancy & Finance

The Czech economy is in good shape and GDP forecasts show steady, conservative growth. The overall outlook, combined with the growth of shared services centres (SSCs), has proven to be a reliable predictor

of an increasing demand for financial professionals in particular.

At REED we’ve witnessed a need for finance candidates at all levels, especially in the accounting and credit control field. Unemployment is low and competition in the market is very strong. Clients are now attracting finance talent directly from prestigious universities thanks to

attractive trainee programmes with rising salaries.

Engineering

The engineering industry in the Czech Republic is extremely influential and a significant amount of production has moved into the region from abroad. Companies are looking for candidates in production and

development such as quality engineers, process engineers and designers.

In a candidate-driven market, most engineering companies operate within the automotive and mechanical engineering industries.

Human Resources

Forecasted low unemployment rate does not create a challenge only for the hiring professionals, but also highlights the scarcity of available experienced HR professionals. At REED we have recorded a decline in the demand for Compensation & Benefits or Learning & Development

specialists. On the other hand, we see an increased demand for internal recruiters, especially in the Services industry. HR Generalists from an entry level up to HR Manager/Business Partners are still very

much in demand too.

Human Resources & Business Support Salary Figures

Multilingual Shared Services

Within the multilingual shared services (MSS) sector, there is a gap for strong leaders as well as middle and senior finance and accountancy

professionals. Employers are now open to hiring ‘boomerang candidates’ who left their businesses to gain experience from another company

and are now looking to return in a more senior position.

We have also observed a trend in SSCs moving away from their basic transactional services – they are now being outsourced to outside Europe.

SSCs can now focus on internal clients by handling more complex corporate accountancy and finance activities. Payroll and VAT specialists

are still highly sought-after, especially those with experience on an EMEA or global scope. In a multilingual landscape, advanced English is a standard for most international companies. However English in combination with other European languages is becoming a must for many positions. The most sought-after language continues to be German, which is in high demand in all sectors of customer service. Employers also typically look for Western and South European languages, as well as Dutch and Nordic languages. There is also a demand for Japanese and Korean speakers

in Moravian region.

Technology

The last few years has seen the continuing trend of new IT hubs arriving into the Czech Republic. As such, there is a high demand for both front-end and back-end development, networking, databases, quality assurance, and in particular, business intelligence professionals. The start-up scene is growing fast, putting pressure on larger firms who continue working hard on their retention programmes. The most in-demand specialists remain those with software development profiles,

including programming languages such as JAVA, C# and C++.

There is ever more automation in software testing and IT infrastructure support and employers are willing to pay a premium for candidates

with relevant skills and experience.

Sales & Marketing

In sales and marketing, we’ve seen a trend in FMCG companies promoting employees and attracting young professionals. In the sales sector, there are opportunities for key account managers with advanced knowledge of English. In marketing, there is demand for brand managers and online marketing professionals. Although experience is an asset, companies are willing to hire less experienced

candidates if they show drive, passion and true interest in the company.
