For Job Seekers
How to negotiate
your salary.
- Research the market rate using this guide and current job listings on StandOut.mu.
- Know your total compensation (salary + allowances + benefits), not just base pay.
- Highlight specific achievements and quantifiable impact in your role.
- Be prepared to counter — most employers expect some negotiation for mid-senior roles.
- Know your options — other offers or your current role strengthen your position.
For Employers
How to hire
competitively.
- Include the salary range in your job posting — listings with salary attract significantly more applicants.
- Benchmark against current market rates, not historical ones.
- Factor in the full cost of a vacancy (lost productivity) vs. paying market rate.
- Transport and meal allowances are standard across most industries in Mauritius.
- For scarce skills (cloud architects, ML engineers), expect a 15–30% premium.
