Since we launched the 2008 Salary Survey in our last issue, more than 461 procurement professionals have participated. 58% of the respondents were male and 199 (guess..?) females. 69% of people had more than 10 years of experience in procurement. Of these 52 were CPO’s (Chief Procurement Officers)…
and indicated below along with other roles as indicated below which forms a good base upon which to base results.

An interesting question was the % of the last salary review. Very interesting to note the number of people who had increases beyond 20%..
We’ve decided to extend the survey a bit so that we can get more than 1000 procurement professionals to complete it…
If you haven’t filled in the survey yet, you can do so here (anonymously):
If you have please encourage all your colleagues to do it so that we can have even better / more meaningful results…!!
Depending on you…
