Pitchbox is not just about optimising on salary only, which is important, but also on the developers' interests and career goals.
The developer retains all the control...for example the salary is only used by Pitchbox, not the employer, as one of our filters in the matching process. We ask companies for their compensation ceiling and developers for their compensation floor to make sure engineers aren't matched with companies that are not within the same range.
Every pitch a developer receives includes compensation information among other things.
- revorad 13y agoMatthew, thanks for the clarification. I'm sorry, my original comment was a bit too harsh. I've been speaking to a few companies recently, and apart from tactics like trying to fish out a salary number, I've also been surprised by their unresponsiveness to emails, strong dislike for employee side projects, and unrealistic expectations. Everyone's crying about how hard hiring is, but if this is how they treat employees, it's not surprising really. I wish you luck with Pitchbox and hope you can help improve the situation.
