Behind the Data of the Core-Asset Salary Guide
Creating the annual Core-Asset Salary Guide is a year-long effort shaped by countless conversations, rich sector insights and comprehensive data informed by market research.
Recruitment, at its core is about people. Our consultants spend hours every day engaging with candidates, clients and colleagues - interactions that inform our deep market understanding, demonstrated through every page of this guide.
Recognised as a benchmark and industry utility, for over 20 years Core-Asset have produced the Salary guide, to provide market commentary and insights for the financial and professional services market on emerging trends, evolving risks, and the shifting dynamics shaped by today’s economic conditions.
Speaking on this year’s edition Core-Asset Consulting CEO, Betsy Williamson shares “2025 cemented the industry’s focus on resilience, regulatory accountability, and long-term transformation. These changes were not incremental – they were structural”.
This year’s guide is further elevated by findings from our in-depth 2025 candidate and recruiter survey, combining employer and employee perspectives to support organisations in hiring and workforce planning decisions.
