• 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

  • 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!

    Fucking lol, we won't tell you the band, but give us your salary information to enable us to lowball.

  • Why not just disclose it on the job spec? To save literally everyone's time, rather than meaning 'nobody is wasting too much time'? Why the secrecy? I don't get it.

    Ah didn’t spot that bit on the JD. But not means there is also a budget that Rapha have, so might as well put it there to save everyone time either applying or reading through unsuitable applications.

  • ask for your current salary

    How about $0 of your business

    Unless you're also making ex gratia payments to all applicants in return for free salary benchmarking (which you don't appear to have bothered doing yourself)

    Tristan, why is it always fun might I ask? Are Rapha salaries so low for an international city like London or New York that you have to knock NYC when it comes to what New Yorkers make or expect to make?

    This is yet another reason why applicants get upset when employers ask "What is your current salary and expected salary." And here you are letting us know it's "always fun" when you get that info?

    Ethically and professionally—you should keep those comments to yourself. It's not a good look for Rapha!
