Salary survey

About

The labour market is constantly evolving, making access to reliable market intelligence essential for effective workforce planning and talent acquisition. To help organisations make informed decisions, Antal Talent conducts comprehensive labour market research and salary surveys, providing up-to-date insights into employment trends, compensation, and candidate expectations.

Long-term business planning requires objective, data-driven information. Employers need to understand how the labour market is changing, which skills and professions are becoming more or less in demand, what today’s candidates expect from employers, and how competing organisations are attracting and retaining talent. Our research provides the insights needed to develop effective recruitment strategies, strengthen employer competitiveness, and support sustainable business growth.

Monitoring of labour remuneration is performed for individual professions and areas of activity. Its results make it possible to solve several tasks at once. Firstly, to attract and retain high quality specialists. Secondly, to maintain the company's profitability.

Stages of the study

  1. Defining the goals and objectives of the research. Before starting the project, we take the time to understand your organisation's objectives, business challenges, and the purpose of the salary survey. Together, we define the scope of the research, discuss your specific information requirements, and develop a tailored project plan outlining the methodology, deliverables, timeline, and expected outcomes. This ensures that the final results provide relevant, actionable insights aligned with your business goals.
  2. Collection and verification of data from open and closed sources. To gather reliable market intelligence, we conduct interviews with professionals from relevant organisations, consult Antal Talent's industry specialists, and engage with trusted market experts. We validate the information collected through multiple sources to ensure its accuracy and consistency. The result is a robust, high-quality dataset tailored to your specific research objectives and business requirements.
  3. Data analysis and evaluation. We perform comprehensive data analysis to ensure the findings are as accurate, objective, and actionable as possible. At the conclusion of the project, we deliver a detailed report featuring clear analytical tables, salary benchmarks, market insights, and expert commentary. The report highlights key labour market trends, compensation practices, and strategic recommendations to support informed workforce planning and business decision-making.

The term and price of monitoring are influenced by

Number and type of positions

We provide additional discounts for volume, so the more specialities are included in the analysis, the cheaper the cost per position will be. The study of managerial specialities is slightly more expensive.

Geography of the study

Number of cities and regions in which salaries are monitored.

Methods used

Desk research, expert interviews.

Sample parameters

The complexity and seniority of the roles being benchmarked, as well as any specific client requirements regarding the target sample—such as candidates' level of experience, professional qualifications, industry background, foreign language proficiency, or other specialised competencies.

Specifics of the survey

We can study the level of salaries according to the list of competitors agreed with the customer or create a list of companies to be analysed independently.

Advantages

Individual approach

Gain reliable salary benchmarking data for the regions, industries, and positions most relevant to your business. Our research provides accurate, up-to-date compensation insights, helping you make informed decisions on remuneration, recruitment, and workforce planning.

Reliability and relevance of information

Data collection begins once the project agreement has been signed, ensuring that all information included in the final report reflects current market conditions. Clients can define the scope of the research based on their specific objectives, including base salary, total remuneration, bonus schemes, employee benefits, compensation and incentive programmes, KPI structures, and other reward components. This flexible approach ensures the survey delivers the most relevant insights for your business.

Wide range of research

We study labour markets for companies from different industries, not only in Russia, but also in CIS countries.

Aims and objectives of the study

Monitoring of salaries conducted by experts will help in solving the following tasks:
1. optimisation of salaries and hourly rates in accordance with the current market situation;
2. attracting and retaining key specialists, increasing their loyalty to the employer;
3. creation of an effective incentive and motivation system;
4. minimising the risks of unjustified overspending of the salary fund;
5. determining the ratio of fixed and variable remuneration for different categories of positions;
6. building a system of KPI's aimed at achieving the desired results;
7. ensuring fair remuneration of the company's personnel.

The main purpose of salary analysis is to obtain up-to-date and reliable information on the latest changes and market trends.

Result of work

Our report provides a comprehensive overview of the market, including key statistical indicators such as minimum, average, and maximum salary levels, bonus payments, and total compensation. It also includes detailed information on employee benefits and compensation packages, together with expert analysis of current labour market conditions, emerging trends, and regional market dynamics. The result is a practical benchmarking report that supports informed decisions on compensation strategy, recruitment, and talent retention.

The results of the labour market research can be used as a documented justification for changing the salary fund, solving problems with turnover and shortage of qualified employees in the company.
The project timeline depends on the scope and complexity of the research and is agreed individually with each client during the commercial proposal stage. Depending on the objectives, number of positions, geographic coverage, and data requirements, a customised salary survey may take anywhere from one week to several months. The final timeline is defined based on the agreed project scope and technical specification.

Cost

The final price of the study is calculated individually for each client.

Project fees start from RUB 60,000 plus VAT.*
