According to Kage Partnership, there are still more jobs than candidates with salaries
increasing more markedly last year than in past years, which it suggests could be
to do with charities having to pay to attract staff to ‘in demand’ roles. It reports
that the most ‘wanted’ candidates fall within the corporate new business, trust 
and foundations, major donor and individual giving areas, which are the categories
showing the largest salary increases. It is also seeing fundraisers being tempted
out of roles after short periods, often skipping rungs on the career ladder in the
process.
