“As a business leader, I know it isn’t always possible to increase salaries, especially with rising costs, the burden of overheads and higher business rates looming. However, it’s important that if you can, you consider doing so, because even a small amount can make a big difference…the best investment you can make is in people.” Informed by our survey of 5,000 UK workers, and data from 17 million jobs posted to Reed.co.uk since 2016, our Chairman and CEO James Reed CBE shares his thoughts on the year ahead, as we launch our 2024 salary guides.

The recruiter told her that they had a fun working culture. She mentioned the holiday parties, free breakfast, and office snacks. But she wasn't as open about sharing the salary... In fact, when my client asked about it during the second interview, she was told that it would be shared if they made an offer. This was ridiculous. Still, she went though 2 more conversations over the next 3 weeks. Eventually, they gave her an offer letter. It was for $20,000 LESS than what she was currently making. When she tried to negotiate it, the recruiter emphasized all the freebies. Sure It's nice to provide perks, Sure it’s good to promote a top culture, but people want to be paid what they're worth. #jobseekers #joboffer #salary #employeerelations #hiring

Do you think you need to employ someone but can't afford it? Do you need some work doing but don't have enough hours work for an employee? Someone to keep on top of your business's admin, someone to know the answers about the background running while you are out offering your services and selling your products? We can offer you that in a more cost effective solution. Our rates can sound expensive but hear us out... We all know that finding people looking for less than part time hours for employment is next to impossible so, this matrix is working on a comparison of the hours you may need, vs the part time employment which is usually the minimum an employer can offer to entice someone in. Only charging when we work means you get so much more out of an hour's work. No coffee breaks, no lunch breaks, no chatting on your paying time and so on! Tie that in with our experience and knowledge and I feel confident you will get more bang for your buck! The average salary for a PA is £34200 (reed.co.uk, 2024). So working with that lets do some maths: A part time employee (working 20 hours a week) earning £34200 pro rata equates to £1583.33 per month basic salary. As an employer it is your responsibility to then contribute to NI (13.8%) £107.95 and pensions (3% after the first £520 per month) £31.90. That comes to a total of £1723.18 leaving your bank account. And don't forget you will pay £170.51 per month for no work at all - holiday pay! But that's not all... You then need to factor in recruitment, training, management, sick days, equipment, office, broadband, electricity, water heating, running the payroll, insurance and the list goes on. Which doesn't just cost you money, it also costs your valuable time. So trade the 20 hours a week from an employee to 10 hours per week focused work. No strings, no hidden costs. Just paying for the jobs you need doing from someone highly knowledgeable and organised and see how the numbers speak for themselves. You could pay £1400 per month instead of £1893.69 for an immediate knowledgeable fully insured start. If you want to optimise your company's performance and save money, give us a call.

Job Search Tip: One simple question you can ask when negotiating a job offer. "Do you have any flexibility?" That question can open up various possibilities. You can ask this as a general question or specifically inquire about flexibility in salary, bonus, vacation time, relocation allowance, and more. It's a straightforward way to explore additional options and potentially improve the terms of your offer without coming across as too aggressive.
