I do get that, having worked in both small and marge corps. Sometimes difficult to band especially where individuals don’t have similar roles or it’s a band of one.
Would be helpful none the less to know roughly, if nothing else to judge relative seniority especially for a role like “developer” where companies use the same title but covers a more junior role at £30k or a senior role at £80k but quite a different expectation!
Re point on effort: submitting a cv and some prelim questions isn’t time consuming (or hopefully!), it’s the several interview rounds and likely task that are. And I guess it’s only at offer that the salary is discussed?
Thanks also for your comment on the IT thread re remote work, interesting to hear
C4r1s-
Glad people are at least engaging! There were bands that were multi-instrumentalists but we've taken as many off people as we can. I can't play the drums for shit.
In terms of salary disclosure, there is a section during the initial interview process that ask for your current salary and expected salary. I'd advocate an individual using these!
If this is wildly over the banding or unrealistic then we will let the candidate know that. It's fair and means nobody is wasting too much time. Always fun to see what the American candidates in New York are asking for... despite roles stating London!

@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.
