How much are professionals in Cyprus earning, what would persuade them to change jobs, and how is artificial intelligence affecting their careers?
These are among the questions explored in the Cyprus Salary and Workforce Survey 2027, launched on 10 November by Limassol-based recruitment and executive search consultancy Emerald Zebra.

The anonymous survey invites professionals working in fintech, technology, financial services, FX and CFD brokerage, payments, crypto, iGaming and game development to share their experiences of pay, workplace benefits, career progression and changing employment conditions.
Covering more than 150 roles, from software developers and compliance specialists to senior executives, the research aims to provide salary benchmarks and insights into employment trends across these industries in Cyprus.
What Does The Survey Cover?
The research examines several aspects of employment:
- Salaries and benefits: Base salaries, bonuses, commissions, recent pay increases and the benefits employees value most.
- Working conditions: Remote, hybrid and office-based arrangements, working hours and language requirements.
- Pay transparency: Whether salary ranges are disclosed during recruitment and how prepared employees are to exercise their new rights to pay information.
- Career progression: Job satisfaction, barriers to promotion, leadership ambitions and the salary increases that would encourage employees to change jobs.
- AI in the workplace: How frequently professionals use AI, what they use it for, the training and guidance employers provide, and how secure employees feel in their roles.
The research will also examine gender representation in senior management and the factors influencing career advancement.
Donna Stephenson, founder of Emerald Zebra, said:
“Cyprus is its own market now, not a cheaper version of somewhere else. Salary is only part of the story. People are deciding where to work based on flexibility, progression, and how their roles are changing with AI, and employers need real data on all of it.”
According to Emerald Zebra, the findings will be compiled into the Cyprus Salary and Workforce Report 2027, providing salary benchmarks by job role and seniority alongside an analysis of workforce trends.
