Exec vacancy search   Sinead Hasson, of Hasson Associates, is available to answer your questions about getting into, and getting on in Market Research. >> More		Welcome to MrWeb's HRchive If you work in skills and recruitment areas in the market research industry, the HRchive is for you. Here you'll find stats and articles based on the huge amount of information passing through MrWeb since the year 1998, and you can contribute your thoughts and read those of others in your profession on the HR issues of the day. New for 2009 - UK MR salary and recruitment stats The section has been relaunched in summer 2009 with new salary and vacancy stats available covering 2006-9. The figures show the impact of recession on an industry previously in good health - but also that some roles never enjoyed the salary boom others did, even in the good times... Underneath, you'll find a much shorter-term snapshot of job numbers and salaries currently on the site - this is updated daily.   Current UK vacancy numbers and salaries Level No. Jobs £ Avge Level No. Jobs £ Avge JRE 21 21900       AD 183 53800 RE 98 24900   Direc 72 75700 SRE 192 29600   Field 17 25900 PM 190 37400   IT / DP 40 29800 RM 49 45400   Other 116 29400 The table shows the number of UK vacancies at each level on MrWeb at present, and the mean salary for all such jobs. Note that a large number of older job ads are often removed during the first week of a month, so you may see a sharp drop in numbers and a significant change in salaries around this time. NB only ads with salaries stated are included in the table. Looking for appointments news?
