Current hiring needs within the Reward sector today often require a blend of executive compensation and broad base skills.  Leading global consultancies are seeking consultants who can offer expertise which goes beyond the boardroom and instead embraces the needs of all employees.  Executive compensation consultants able to expand their knowledge base by embracing a Total Reward mindset will be, in our view, better positioned to accelerate their careers, whether that be within an in-house or consulting setting.

Reward is clearly an area of huge potential growth but the recent explosion in demand for broad base experience, on top of executive compensation, means anyone working in this sector should probably be considering how to best position themselves to take advantage of this shifting professional landscape. Right now, you do not need specific broad base experience – just a genuine interest in tapping into this exciting and fast-changing sector.
