Adobe CQ5/AEM - Candidate Market Report
Current status of the market
Since the release of CQ5.6 and the re-branding of CQ5 to Adobe Experience Manager in March we have seen a significant
increase in the number of clients implementing CQ and the demand on the market for CQ5 professionals is currently very high.
There are currently 24 projects that we are aware of in the US right now with 37 open positions. This is slightly down since last
quarter but this is completely normal going into this time of year as many companies are coming to the end of their financial
year/budgets and demand typically slows down slightly. Even with the Q4 trend of demand slowing there is more than enough
demand to keep candidates working.
Industries hiring
As seen in the above chart, the telecommunications industry is currently seeing the highest demand for CQ5 hires with three of
the top cellular services providers starting or expanding implementations in the first half of 2013. Weve also seen some of these
roles open for long periods of time as the rates arent in line with market rates, which means these organisations are struggling
to compete for the strongest talent.
Market rates
Below are the market rates for candidates working CQ5 based contract positions. This information was gathered by surveying
100 contract candidates in the market. The spread at each skill level varies based on level of experience with that skill and
whether the candidate is a W2 Contractor or Corp-to-Corp contractor. On the right side is an annual equivalent. Please note the
rates quoted are indicative of market rates only and are quoted as gross amounts, based on the hourly rate and exclude the
value of vacation days and additional benefits.
Salaries
Below are the average salaries for candidates working in CQ5 based full-time positions. The amounts below are all inclusive of
both base and bonus. These numbers were gathered by surveying 50 fulltime CQ5 candidates in various positions.
Looking at the above data the real question for candidates is, Are you earning what you are worth? This can be a difficult
question to answer given that money isnt always the most important factor to candidates. Weve found that candidates have an
increasingly complex set of expectations and demands, varying from money and opportunities for career development, to
location and the flexibility to work remotely. However, for candidates looking to make that next move it is important to consider
whether the salary on offer is in line with the industry.
Full-time candidates generally fall within two categories. Either, theyre working for a direct end client such as Barclays Capital or
theyre working for a consulting firm such as Accenture, Cognizant or Virtusa. For those working within consulting firms one factor
to consider when evaluating your current financial package is your billable rate, and whether freelancing may present an
opportunity moving forward.
We have continued to see a preference for permanent, full-time opportunities over contract roles with many candidates looking
for greater job security. However, with organisations increasingly seeking the flexibility offered by contractors we have seen a rise
in interim positions. With contracting offering a route to capitalise on a booming market, and maximize earnings whilst
broadening the employees experience it comes as no surprise that contract roles are becoming increasingly attractive to many
professionals.
In addition to typically offering higher pay, and providing additional tax benefits, independent contracting also gives employees
increasing flexibility and choice of projects even in tough economic times, when demand for contractors remains high.
