No offence. But there is really no excuse for “competitive” it’s bullshit, simple as. Especially today in 2022. Be honest and transparent.
If you pay based on experience/seniority, then post a salary band, use numbers, don’t just say it.
Why should anyone piss away emotional and physical labour preparing an application for a job only to get into the process and find out the pay is bad/ too low?

@lazysuperhero, @C4r1s - both fair points and I certainly get it, but I am going to have to disappoint. I do understand that compensation is important, and the whole smoke and mirrors around it is frustrating. We are not alone in this approach.
As a small team we are casting a wide net and looking for an individual different experience across the board. I can tell you that we are unable to match compensation found contracting or at a larger technology company.
It's also sadly unrealistic with us at such small scale to do any meaningful banding where everyone has varied levels of experience and specialisms. Especially at the moment - it would be a very large undertaking.
I may be wrong in this assumption, but I feel most people have a CV nearly up to date and if interested I would love people happy when on a bike to apply.

Thanks for the answers, much appreciated. Would be tempted by the PBI role personally, but definitely curious to about the definition of “competitive” as that’s a fairly senior role you’re asking for!
Reminds me of the posts that have floated round LinkedIn: “if the pay is so competitive why don’t you tell us”
