ABOUT

Recruitment agency Bespoke Careers has released its 2019 Global Salary Guide – a comprehensive salary guide covering the architecture and design industry in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, New York and Los Angeles/San Francisco. Having found a demand for this global information, Bespoke Careers has now for its 4th year running produced this guide which also features market update summaries on each of the locations it covers. It is now a popular source of information for practices and studios who are hungry for intel on the industry.
As a specialist recruitment agency dedicated to connecting jobseekers with employers in Architecture and design, Bespoke Careers’ consultants and senior leadership team are in the best position to offer this well-placed advice to both clients and candidates on expected salaries. With an in-depth understanding of the industry, each job market location has been summarised including; sector trends, key projects and notable cultural shifts which are affecting the industry.

“Bespoke London has observed that the sustained candidate shortage in the UK has seen salaries in the architecture and design industry steadily increase. Many employers are implementing innovative initiatives to encourage staff retention, engagement and to improve diversity. There was a sharp increase in the demand for contract staff in the last quarter of 2018 as businesses looked to temporary staff as a solution to spikes in workload or as a way of ‘buying some time’ to find the ‘perfect fit’ permanent hire. Sector-wise we are seeing the highest demand for candidates within the infrastructure, workplace and hospitality sectors. Job seekers with experience in these project types can expect to receive decent salary increase when making a move and will often receive multiple job offers post-interview.”
