The Salary Survey
De Lacy Executive were involved with the Farmers Weekly Salary Survey. This report shows the average wages of current positions in each region across the UK.
John Davies, director of De Lacy Executive, has said "Agriculture is the world's most important industry. To compete the UK needs well-educated, well-trained people who will readily adapt to changing demands. With this survey we hope to be able to contribute to the debate about how to attract, develop and retain these exciting people."
As a consequence the survey shows, on average, what salary each area of the country is receiving within the agricultural industry. This ranged from £20,250 in Yorkshire to £35,152 in East Anglia, for farm workers. However, the hourly rate ranged from £8.67 in the North East to £13.83 in the North West.
The survey also suggested that the average salary for a farm manager was around £33,378 and a farm worker receiving on average £20,000. Dairy farmers received the highest yearly salary (£25,637) compared to sheep farmers who receive approximately £23,082.
This survey produced some interesting results which reflect the current agricultural industry.
If you are looking for a job with a higher salary or just simply want a career change, feel free to get in touch with one of our consultants.
CV Lies
Courtesy of The Recruitment Grapevine
"Candidates are known to tell a few fibs during the recruitment process, with 70% of inaccuracies detected last year.
According to research by Recruitment app, Job Today, over a third of Brits (38%) have told a CV lie at least once, and one in four (24%) admit to doing it regularly.
So who are the main culprits?
The data found that men are more likely to tell CV fibs than women.
Two-thirds of women (66%) say they have never lied on a CV because it's 'too risky'. However, 42% of men admit telling lies with over half showing no remorse or guilt (22%).
The data also revealed that London employers receive the highest number of deceitful CVs, with 44% of Londoners admitting to lying on their CV.
Further north, candidates in Yorkshire and Humber found 42% of CV fibbers. However, 74% of Scots say they have never lied in their CV.
Inaccuracies were most likely to be found in high-earning positions 33% lying about extra-curricular activities.
The data goes to show that a paper CV just isn't enough to accurately evaluate a candidate.
In this digital age, more recruiters are moving away from the paper CV, instead turning to digital resumés"
