Recruiter Salary in Wales

What most recruiters actually earn

Half of recruiters in Wales earn between £24,141 and £36,189. Earning above £36,189 puts you in the top quarter of the profession.

ONS suppresses the detailed spread for this occupation at regional level, so this range describes the wider “HR, Training and Other Vocational Associate Guidance Professionals” group in Wales.

How Wales ranks for recruiter pay

London tops the table on £36,959 and Yorkshire and The Humber sits at the bottom on £27,977. Wales is £4,139 short of the top.

Ranking compares published regional medians for the same occupation. It says nothing about cost of living — a higher median doesn't survive contact with rent. The cost of living calculator is the honest next step.
