Introducing the We Are Adam Hiring Trends Report for 2024.

A year has passed since our last report, and this time we're going all out. In addition to our usual salary insights, we've surveyed our network of senior leaders to give you both sides of the coin. Alongside our usual employee satisfaction data now sits information shared by our hiring managers.

Here's a snapshot of the current landscape:

• 51% express dissatisfaction with their basic salary.

Inside this report, you'll discover:

• Key trends and data, unveiling the reasons behind job transitions, the desired pay increases, and the average notice periods.

• Hiring trends as forecast by our network of senior leaders, with a peek in to which departments are ear-marked for investment or, perhaps more crucially, are anticipating cuts.

It's essential to note that these figures represent national averages, and salary discussions are nuanced, influenced by factors like location, industry, experience, and business size, among others.
