The highest net gains in Romania are in Bucharest-Ilfov, Timiş and Cluj. The average salary of a citizen of the Capital or of Ilfov County is 4,500 lei net. In Timiş and Cluj counties, the average net salaries are similar, at 3,500 lei per month. On the last positions are the counties of Vrancea, Vaslui and Dolj, where average salaries slightly exceed 2,500 lei net. The data was collected from Salario, the salary comparator launched by the eJobs recruitment platform, which helps to make transparent the information regarding Romanians’ salaries. 130,000 people have already entered their net monthly earnings into this platform.

“In Romania, salaries remain a hot topic, but also a taboo one. After a 2020 with caps or even pay cuts, it is necessary to discuss transparent income again in a return year like 2021, when employment is again at the pre-pandemic level. Through Salario we try to encourage as many companies as possible to join us in this approach of salary transparency, a model already successfully approached by the Nordic countries “, explains Bogdan Badea, CEO of eJobs Romania.

The counties where citizens are better paid are also the ones where candidates show the greatest interest in transparent salaries on eJobs, while the inhabitants of Mehedinti, Teleorman and Giurgiu counties are least interested in finding out the market gains.

Bogdan Badea claims that the transparency of salary data brings benefits to both the employee and the employer. “Thus, recruitment announcements that display the salary attract 40% more relevant candidates, so it helps companies to streamline their recruitment processes. On the other hand, through Salario we want to meet the candidates who need such a tool when negotiating the salary, when they change their job or want to know if they are paid in line with the market “, added the CEO of eJobs Romania.

Under this new setting, the highest paid domains are IT software, procurement and IT hardware. On the other hand, Romanians working in au pair / baby sitting / cleaning, clothing and office / back-office / secretariat earn the lowest salaries.

In terms of job searches, Romanians are most interested in the jobs that offer the average income of an economist, a design engineer, an assistant manager, a software engineer, or a Java programmer. Each category registered more than 2,000 searches in the database.
