Introduction
Dear Readers,
Building business capability is the most powerful source of strategic advan-
tage in today’s global economy, which is characterised by growing compe-
titive pressure. Businesses which look not only to protect and expand their
core operations, but also to optimally organise their business administration,
will develop their capability faster than their competitors. Enterprises must
make more effective use of dynamically growing sources and opportuni-
ties emerging in terms of organising back-office functions, if they wish to
develop their own capability and activate new powerful drivers of innovation
and growth.
Innovation may apply not only to products and services, but also to processes, operating models,
combining resources and actions in a unique way to generate new revenue streams. Building capa-
bility, innovation and effectiveness, are all gaining significance. Networks of cooperating companies
are emerging. Managers are focusing on allocating resources in an innovative way and expanding
the knowledge and potential of their employees. The concept of building Shared Service Centres
(SSC) is finding a broad application. Factors contributing to its growth include information technology
development and emerging technological solutions, e.g. electronic document flow.
Financial directors, financial controllers and board members can build business value. The orga-
nisation of accounting and finance functions in a way that ensures their effectiveness and control
over processes is a real tool at their disposal. Shared Services Centres (SSC) and Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) are solutions for accounting and finance functions that have attracted attention
and controversy for years. Experts believe that their short-term consequences were overrated, while
their long-term impact was underestimated. Outsourcing forces businesses to improve their perfor-
mance faster, and at the same time creates opportunities for close cooperation with other specialised
businesses which help facilitate those efforts.
Outsourcing refers, in particular, to contracting business operations out of the company in order to
capitalise on cost or skill differences. Value can be created through seeking operational cost efficiencies,
reducing risk and building world-class capability. These days, financial directors leading their busi-
nesses to success value specialisation (standardisation and centralisation) which prevails over savings.
Specialised outsourcing companies may employ better educated and qualified employees for less.
Grant Thornton, which provides and supports leading outsourcing solutions, is proud to be the
patron of Page Personnel’s detailed salary overview for selected positions at shared service centres.
Together we are providing you with information on good practices in the modern business services
sector. The overview is a practical benchmark for job descriptions and salaries offered in 2012 at
shared service centres. The information contained herein is of crucial importance for readers striving
to successfully transform finance and accounting departments and implement modern organisational
practices, which shared service centres undoubtedly are.
An interesting read I hope you’ll agree!

Introduction
Dear Readers,
It is with great pleasure that I present you with the latest edition of the
Page Personnel Salary Survey in the area of Shared Services Centres and
Business Process Outsourcing (SSC/BPO). Inside you will find information
on the current market conditions as well remunerations levels for this sector
in Poland.
For nearly two decades Page Personnel has supported both the candidates, offering professional
consultancy and assistance in career planning, as well as companies which, just like us, believe that
their employees are the key to achieving success. Regardless of the geographic area, we strive to
be a trustworthy and stable business partner for both groups. The data presented in the Survey is
based on the everyday work of our consultants and managers – in 2012 we met with close to 11,000
candidates in Poland and successfully completed over 850 recruitment projects.
The situation on the Polish SSC/BPO market can be characterised as dynamic and in constant growth.
In the past 7 years, nearly 300 international companies have decided to locate their centres in Poland
– third place on the world map of outsourcing services. This is not the end – more openings are still
being planned. What makes global brands want to build their centres in Poland? Undoubtedly well
educated candidates with a knowledge of foreign languages and relatively low labour costs.What is
interesting is that apart from the main agglomerations, other second- and third-tier cities, are in the
race for attracting new investors.
The outsourcing sector is, without a doubt, becoming the candidates’ market. From the employer’s
point of view, the most desired combination is one of adequate professional experience along with
foreign language skills which with a large (and ever growing) demand, must have an impact on the
candidates’ financial expectations and counteroffers.
In times of economic uncertainty all over the globe, international companies will be trying even harder
to optimize costs with the simultaneous improvement in the quality of services provided by their
centres. I am convinced that finding good specialists, with interesting experience and knowledge of
foreign languages, will be a challenge for employers, to say the least.
I hope that the data presented in the latest Salary Survey will prove interesting and will allow you to
compare your resources with those currently offered by the market in a reliable manner.
I hope you enjoy the Survey,
Wojciech Bartz
Manager
