Dear Reader,
Our tryst with the employment marketplace continues in a year filled with hopes and beliefs of
what the future holds for all of us in 2010. The mayhem of 2008 was replaced in part with a sense of
introspection and conservatism in 2009. Organizations and individuals moved on and discovered
newer, more meaningful, cost effective ways to engage with each other. TeamLease, alongside its
associates and clients, has braved the storm of 2008 only to emerge stronger and more resolute.
While the rest of the world is slowly getting back on its feet again and hoping to regain its sense of
direction in the aftermath of the bloodiest economic cataclysm in decades, India is up and about.
We have taken the first few steps – faltering and back on our feet again, already aware that we
have yet to run a marathon to redeem our immediate past and its horror.
As with the market, TeamLease's own aspirations for a mature skill economy which, we have been
nurturing for the 9 years of our existence, has taken flight. As is evident in the discussion that
follows, the job market is paying for skills – and the trend is more than apparent. Industry is still
averse to a generous exercise in increasing salaries across the board. This has not stopped it,
however, from rewarding valuable skills. Our hypothesis – that skills pay – has therefore got better
grounding this time around and that, by the way, is the silver lining this year.
Accordingly, the new, mature, post-meltdown world demands sophisticated and highly effective
tools of the trade that enable better hiring decision making. Salary Primer is no longer just a
compilation of numbers each year. It adds a significant improvement to the manner in which key
decisions about hiring and compensation are made. Yet again, this year's edition broadens the
envelope and presents an updated construct of salary determinants.
The 'Increments and Longevity' construct includes a set of four key attributes and their inter-
relationships to enable even more intelligent decisions for our audience. As earlier, this works in
tandem with the online hiring decision platform, indiasalary.in, and delivers our value proposition –
the right job, with the right skill, at the right price, at the right time – to our readers.
We would like to thank our in-house Sourcing Team and our partner, inTouch analytics, for their
efforts in putting this document together. Just like TeamLease, this primer is work in progress – do
let us know your thoughts on how to make it more effective.
Warm Regards
The TeamLease Team

About Salary Primer
The TeamLease Annual Temp Salary Primer 2010 is a comprehensive report on a variety of
attributes that govern the dynamics of the employment market – skills, salaries, increments and
longevity (which is a measure of the time period for which a profile would stay in a job – the inverse
of attrition). Data points covering these attributes for temp staff working across 264 different Job
Profiles, 13 Industries and 8 Functional Domains in 14 major locations in India have been
processed and analyzed for this purpose.
The Primer serves as a guide for both job seekers and employers to obtain relevant information
and useful insights on talent, skills, salaries, increments and longevity.
Note: If you are new to the concept of Ideal Candidate Profiles (ICP), please refer our previous
edition of the primer – Salary Primer 2009, or email us for details.

New From TeamLease
New from TeamLease: Longevity & Increments Special
In this edition of the Salary Primer we have attempted to relate four key marketplace
attributes and provide an even better understanding of the dynamics of the employment
market. Skills, Salaries, Increments and Longevity (a measure of the time period for
which a profile would stay in a job – the inverse of attrition) are the four attributes that
have been modeled and their interrelationships investigated.

Summary Trend analysis and a compilation of
salaries for temporary jobs across
various functions, industries and
cities in India by TeamLease
TM
Hiring Gaining Speed: Following a brief period of lull after last year's meltdown, employers have
started hiring again. Hiring was overcautious though, as businesses were taking on new practices
that evaluate candidate capabilities. There are indications, however, that numbers would be
stepped up from the current 11% - 14% to about 18% over the first quarter of 2010 as the new
practices mature.
Salary Growth Frozen: The flip side to the growth in hiring is that most industries have slackened
increment structures and kept salary revisions and growth to the minimum – a few even brought
the numbers down. In general, organizations kept salary growth at very modest single digits, the
median growth statistic being 5.25%. The good news, however, is that a significant number of
employers have rewarded select profiles with fairly large increments.
Skills Win Big: This trend, perhaps, is shaping the future more than any other. Salary Growth is
appreciably higher for profiles with sought after skills. What this means is, industry is handpicking
highly skilled profiles and paying them much higher increments than the rest. For instance,
Agriculture / Agrochemicals businesses in Bangalore have rewarded many of their Sales profiles
with increments in excess of 10%. Likewise, many an Engineering and a Blue Collar profile
received similar hikes across multiple cities from Automobile companies.
Telecommunication and Energy are the New Growth Engines: Telecommunication and
Energy stepped up hiring by about 16% (combined – and which beats the average quarterly
market growth by a wide 4%) and increased salaries by 7.5% or more. Telecommunication
companies in Bangalore, Chandigarh, Delhi, Mumbai and Pune as well as Energy businesses in
Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore upped the ante and doled out a 10% plus increment for
several profiles.
IT Puts Up a Lackluster Performance: Salary Growth stays down, just about breaching 7%, in
the Information Technology sector. The sector remains cautious in terms of salary growth, but has
begun hiring just as most other industries have. However IT businesses in Ahmedabad, Bangalore
and Pune have rewarded select profiles with increments in excess of 10%, just as in case of other
industries.
The Services Sector Starts Early: The Services sector is providing a much needed fillip to salary
growth, with an average 6% growth, contrasted with the rather low, sub-5% salary growth
average for the Manufacturing sector. Telecommunication, Healthcare and Information Technology
– in that order – have been driving this growth. Energy, Automobile & Allied and FMCD – in that
order – are the only Manufacturing sector industries to drive salary growth at 5% plus levels.
A Clutch of Industries Remains Conservative: Agriculture / Agrochemicals, BFSI, FMCG,
Hospitality, Manufacturing and Retail maintain sub-5% increments at an aggregate level. The
increments vary by city and by profile and so at specific city levels increments could still be high.
For instance, Agriculture / Agrochemicals pays well in Bangalore and Kochi, Manufacturing in
Bangalore and Pune and Retail in Bangalore and Mumbai.
City Trends See Significant Change: Bangalore (6.4%), Mumbai (6%) and Chennai (5.75%)
lead growth, with Chennai dislodging Delhi from the top three high growth cities from the previous
year. Indore, Jaipur and Ahmedabad are cities with the lowest growth rates in salary.
Attrition Under Control: Most industries have brought attrition under check and across most
profiles. Across industries and cities, attrition rates are a shade below 8%, while for industries such
as BFSI, FMCG and Manufacturing, the number is just above 6%. Indore, Jaipur and Ahmedabad
see the least attrition (about 6.5% on an average) while Bangalore and Chennai have the highest
levels of attrition (about 8.7% on an average).
Skills Rewarded Equals Better Longevity: Businesses that structure incentives right are able
to better retain highly skilled profiles. Sans a few exceptions, such as Industrial Manufacturing &
Staffing Solutions Allied and BFSI, industries that have higher payouts for better skilled people are the ones that are
able to retain them better. Agriculture / Agrochemicals, ITeS and Retail are cases in point.

Objectives of the Study
The Temp Salary Primer 2010 provides our stakeholders – Businesses, Individuals, Educational
institutions and Governments with the employment marketplace intelligence that helps make
effective temp staffing decisions. The study is a comprehensive analysis of how temp salaries,
associated skills, increments and longevity are interrelated for hundreds of job profiles across
industries and cities.
Data and Analysis
TeamLease Associate Salary Data - those employed across 800 locations - has been used for this
analysis. Salary data for the years 2008 and 2009 have been used and the analysis portrays skills
scores, salaries, salary increments and longevity for a set of job profiles, quoted in the TeamLease
standard terminology as Ideal Candidate Profiles (ICPs). Salaries quoted in the Ready Reckoner
have been arrived at by computing salary figures for specific industries and job profiles using
statistical measures - namely, median & mode and regression analysis.
The Longevity and Increments analysis begins where the Skills & Salaries analysis ended in the
previous edition and explores the interrelationships among these four attributes for each of the
industries covered.
Research Approach
We push the envelope further in Salary Primer 2010, and have extended the association between
salaries and skills to two more attributes – increments and longevity. Our endeavour is to add as
much value as we can to the decisions our stakeholders will make in their strategic and day-to-day
affairs concerning employment.
The approach to determine the drivers of market salaries and their interplay, therefore, is even
more comprehensive and insightful in this edition.
As in the previous edition, the Ready Reckoner compiles and quotes salaries for Ideal Candidate
Profiles (ICPs) – a smaller set of profiles that is representative of the thousands of job profiles and
designations employed by industry.
Data Sources
This report compiled by TeamLease is based on the information gathered from the following
sources:
Recruitment companies offering temp placements
Temp employees in different companies
TeamLease Associates working in 800 locations
TeamLease Alumni
Information on temp staffing in India from a variety of secondary sources

SALARY, SKILLS, LONGEVITY & INCREMENT TRENDS
This section is an analysis of a sample of 5 ICPs within each industry exploring the
interrelationships between salaries, increments, skills and longevity for each of the profiles. The
choice of the sample profiles that are analyzed is based on the following two considerations:
1. Industry representation: Profiles are typical of the industry.
2. Volume: Each profile being considered has a critical minimum number of candidates
categorized under it. 500 candidates are considered to be the minimum in our analysis.
The analysis for each industry in the following section is, thus, limited to the 5 ICPs chosen for that
industry and is about how skills relate to salaries for these ICPs.

Functional Skills: Constitute Analytical, Critical Thinking, Selling, Observation Skills and
Functional Knowledge - the underlying abilities that aid a candidate's performance in a job. These
abilities encompass a basic set of mental faculties and knowledge bases that various job functions
necessitate. Either or all of these abilities go into the making of the right fit for a given job function.
Relationship Skills: People skill measure and are thus distinguished from the other – more

Skills - abilities that enable a candidate to build and manage business relationships.

Agriculture / Agrochemicals
For employers, the Agriculture / Agrochemicals sector
presents a very attractive combination of reasonably low
Communication
increments and fairly high longevity – especially with
high-end profiles such as the Research Specialist.
Relationship
Functional ACT and RSP, the two high-end profiles, are distinguished
by marginal differences in skill values and increments but

significant difference in salaries and longevity (retention).
25 The more specialized nature of skills makes RSP a more
sought after and likely, a more durable profile for
employers to engage with.
20
FMS and TDV, the two low skill–high longevity profiles,
6.0 command meager salary increments. This is attributable

low skill scores across all other skills – except on

Given four similar paying profiles, however widely

sector. Increments are fairly high – the sample is a pick
of some of the best rewarded profiles in the industry.
Functional

The JIR (Job Inspector) profile seems to offer the best
possible combination of attributes amongst profiles
25
sampled.
PEG (Production Engineer), which is a relatively better
20 paying profile, is rated better than others on most skills.
7.0
However, it is the virtual absence of Transactional skills
in all the others that makes PEG a prized profile.
15 5.0 6.0
4.5 Longevity is lower in case of DFM and MMC, regardless

FMCD
The sample chosen for FMCD has widely varying
attributes – each of the profiles is significantly different
Communication from the others on salary, skills, increments and
Relationship
longevity.
Functional Skill scores, salaries and increments are found to be
Transactional
linearly related but longevity does not relate linearly to
these attributes.
25
Again, VOF – a highly paid, high skilled profile is
rewarded with an increment far higher than for the rest,
20 and this aspect seems to work in favour of the industry
8.0
when it comes to longevity. The profile is also rated
5.0
much higher on all but Transactional skills, compared
15 5.0 with all other profiles.
6.5 5.8 4.5
The Project and Service Engineer (PSE) profile is the
5.5
10 4.8 next best bet for employers after VOF. It also beats the
VOF on Transactional skills and fares much better on all
2.6 6.0

SCE and SUP, the two high paid profiles, score
