Jobs - Post vacancies here

Not yet - this is just the application. I suppose because it's a fixed term consultancy thing, it's more akin to bidding for a contract. If you're offering £40k for a high quality service, it'll be better than £20k for a worse one, even though you end up spending more.

Will just have to wait and see I suppose.

"Bidding for a contract" is really only applicable if terms can be compared like for like. In recruitment who is to say, given each and every application is completely unique.

On the other hand I get what you are trying to say. Perhaps you want to factor such know-how regarding pay into your application.
