Using data from our 2025 Salary Guide, we have outlined some of the highest-paying jobs in Ireland.

The Irish job market in 2024 has adopted a careful and strategic approach to hiring, even as the economy remains resilient. With near-full employment, demand for key skills is still high, but the rapid job market movement seen after the pandemic has settled into a more stable and measured pace.

Looking ahead to 2025, salary expectations reflect targeted investment rather than broad increases. According to our survey, 69.14% of respondents anticipate salary increases in specific roles.

These results suggest that while overall wage growth is likely, businesses will prioritise pay raises for roles where talent shortages persist. As companies navigate hiring demands in a competitive yet stable market, strategic compensation planning will be crucial in securing and retaining top talent.
