The 1401 Iran Talent report, focusing on the situation of salaries and wages, recruitment and hiring, and other labor market aspects, has been published.

According to IDEA‘s report, based on the annual Iran Talent report, in the past year, 69,000 individuals in three organizational categories – specialist, middle manager, and senior manager – declared their salaries and wages.
