Looks good.
It will probably never happen, but I would love to see a job board that had the employer rate the quality of candidate they are looking for and (using the same scale) the salary. Something like this:
Applicant Quality: Top 50% 25% 10% 5% 1% 0.5%
Salary for this pos: Top 50% 25% 10% 5% 1% 0.5%
In short, it would be great to call out those companies that want employees in the top 1% but are only willing to pay in the top 50%
- Peroni 15y agoInteresting thought. Now let me explain why that will never happen! Every single employer values the top 1% differently. Take permanent Ruby Developers for example, I know of a company who's valuation for the top 1% is absolutely spot on. I know of another company in the same area that values the top 1% at about £10k less per annum. The point is, they both genuinely understand what the skill level and experience level of said 1% is, they just significantly disagree on the value of said 1%.
- littlegiantcap 15y agoSomething like this though could help to make labor a more realistic market. We can comparison shop almost any product via walmart or amazon, etc. Why shouldn't it be that way with employees?
- Peroni 15y agoI've been thinking about how to execute this for quite some time. What I need: * A wide range of employers who provide a shortlist of what they consider to be the factors that define the top 1%, 20%, & 50% in any given skill set plus a respective list of appropriate salary levels for said skill set. * A list of employees who fit into each criteria and their average, current salary. You would then need to source that data for every geographic region. TL;DR: It's theoretically possible, it simply requires a lot of grunt work and co-operation & honesty from employers & employees.
