It’s the dreaded question — how much are you expecting for this role? With so many salaries listed as ‘dependent on experience’ or ‘competitive’, it’s difficult to know what to expect or how to negotiate.
We’re bored of this secretive nonsense and believe it doesn’t help candidates or employers; those applying for jobs get shortchanged, especially if they’re already in a disadvantaged group, while those hiring find their time is wasted when expectations don’t match up. We’ve long enforced salary ranges on our adverts, but this is a slow process, so this data is here to fill the gap.
