Wage recommendations

When applying for a post you should present a salary requirement. In the enclosed recommendations, the lowest salary for each post refers to the starting salary for someone entering the post. It does not include allowances for work experience or other allowances, such as evening, night and weekend pay. Talentia’s wage recommendations are based on actual “market prices”, meaning that it is perfectly possible to obtain the recommended salary.
