Talent Acquisition Salary Guide 2025

The Talent Acquisition market is slowly recovering and shows signs of continued growth into 2025. With many companies in particular across technology exhibiting a measured approach in terms of hiring for their TA teams, we have seen a marked increase across the public sector, FMCG, construction and professional services.

AI-driven recruitment tools and automation are becoming mainstream across Irish businesses. In 2024, companies have increasingly adopted AI tools for candidate sourcing, screening and initial interview processes, which has led to improved efficiency and time-to-hire metrics. Automation has also allowed TA teams to manage higher volumes of candidates, delivering a more seamless experience to job seekers. The candidate experience is more important than ever, which has only amplified the benefits of AI in the TA space. Skills shortages combined with the access to housing have made recruitment more difficult for many organisations. Many are adopting strategies such as employing a diverse workforce, widening the geographical area for hiring and investing in internal L&D to promote talent from within.
