Clark Recruitment Ireland Salary Guide 2026: Salary Ranges by Role

The guide reports one range per role rather than a graduate line. For Software Engineer it gives €75K to €95K, so the lower end, €75K, is the closest guide figure for a graduate or someone with up to two years' experience. Our graduate tech salaries guide breaks entry-level pay down by role and employer type.

The figures reported above come from Clark Recruitment's own published Ireland salary guide (2026). This page is not produced, endorsed, or reviewed by Clark Recruitment, it's an independent comparison built by PayMetric Labs, showing Clark Recruitment's reported figures alongside our own blended Ireland benchmarks, which draw on Clark Recruitment's guide as one of several contributing sources.

For each role, we compare Clark Recruitment's reported typical salary to PayMetric Labs' blended national median for that same role in Ireland. A positive variance means Clark Recruitment reports higher than the blended market median; a negative variance means lower. It isn't a judgement on which figure is "right", different agencies see different segments of the market depending on their client base and specialisms.

Both figures are aggregate benchmarks, not a quote for any specific role. Company size, sector, location within Ireland, and individual experience all move real offers away from any published median. Use the linked role pages for a fuller breakdown by seniority and location.

Every figure on this page is gross. To see what a role in Clark Recruitment's guide actually pays after tax in Ireland, open the relevant role page above and use the take-home pay calculator, which breaks the figure down band by band using current 2026 rates.

Use it as a national benchmark rather than a guaranteed Dublin offer. Dublin hiring can differ by employer, work arrangement, specialist skill, and seniority. Open the role page for the city and seniority context behind the published range before using it in a negotiation.

Yes. Compare like-for-like roles and years, then use the blended PayMetric Labs median as a separate reference point. A difference between guides is not automatically an error: recruitment firms can see different employer segments, locations, and candidate seniority mixes.
