Open roles at Apidura - social media & marketing, operations, developers...

Hey folks, I work at Apidura and we a few roles open right now which you can see here .

The roles are London-based with hybrid working. Happy to answer any questions!

Why haven’t you posted the salaries?

Remuneration:

As a family-owned and rider-run business founded upon strong ethos-based principals, we seek to foster this culture by actively welcoming and adapting for people at all stages of their professional and personal lives. For this reason, you won’t find our open positions boxed in by rigid salary constraints or tightly defined by organisational and administrative boundaries.

Ah. £25k.

Where is that written? Tried to find salary stuff to no avail.

Good point! Let me ask the people in charge of the job listings to see if it can be made clearer

strong ethos-based principals

If you have a vacancy for a literacy consultant, I'm available, and 25k will do nicely.

I think this is really really important. I totally understand wanting to retain flexibility to pay very experienced or very desirable candidates more, but in that case (and to give them benefit of doubt) then they should advertise with a floor/minimum salary anyone joining the company would get, which should be £ 25,642.50 which is based on Real Living Wage Campaign's current London living wage of £13.15ph

Anything less than that is bullshit and might as well be saying "competitive salary"

I'd hope that a family owned company that is ethos or ethics driven should be all for a salary floor that is a real living wage.

The company is an accredited living wage employer. Again, I'll suggest this info be made clearer on the job specs 👍🏻

I'm not the target market for these jobs for several reasons so probably shouldn't get to have/voice an opinion but I will anyway.

While the statement quoted above might be coming from a good place, my experience is that beating about the bush about pay = it's shite, and as such, I'm a hard pass on any adverts that don't state the salary (range).

yeah i strongly recommend that. Because a lot of people me included won't waste time applying for jobs that are vague about salary. And if they're an accredited real living wage employer then i'd put that front and centre.

I was being very facetious.

The salary isn’t listed. There’s some bullshit statement about it. “People of all ages” etc etc.

Agreed, having had to look for a new job over the last 12 months due to medical issues it’s a complete bollocks thing having spent time updating/tayloring you CV and then writing a cover letter to then be selected to interview (which takes up time and possibly expense) to get to be offered the job to then find out the salary doesn’t meet what you need.

If companies don’t state salary/hourly wage it’s because they want to pay you an meagre as they can.

I went through something similar previously and applied for a job at Apidura. I was very excited to have an opportunity to work for them.

I was told the role would “not offer you the challenge or fulfilment that you'd be looking for in a new opportunity.”

Nice of them to tell me what I’m looking for.

I’d personally recommend people avoid applying especially with the lack of transparency on the wage.
