Zurich/ Geneva, 22. January 2025. The Michael Page Salary and Hiring Insights Guide 2025 shows that the financial services sector continues to pay the highest salaries for executives and senior managers. Top Human Resources leaders closely followed. Jobs in metals trading, tax law and sales showed the highest average salary increases of between 18-25% over the last 12 months. 

According to Yannick Coulange, Managing Director of PageGroup Switzerland, “It is crucial for employers to take the lead on salary discussions. Candidates tend not to discuss salary development processes as this is largely considered a taboo subject in the interview process. So, it is important for the employer to have a pro-active discussion about the elements of compensation, outlining how salaries are determined in the organization and the opportunities for performance-related increases.”
