In discussions with our clients throughout and beyond a global pandemic, one of the biggest challenges that remains at the forefront of so many of their minds is keeping up with salary expectations.

Throughout early 2020, many businesses were forced to let go of key employees, only to shift towards a now, extremely candidate short market.

In response, Pace VIC have put together a Salary Survey to empower hiring managers to understand the current market rate when recruiting and direct line managers to retain. In turn, this means candidates are more likely to obtain job satisfaction and can spend less time explaining their value and more time providing it.
