At least they didn't say "the box says 192.168.0.1"

I don't control the job advert unfortunately. But i agree it is annoying.

Being very honest, there’s probably not a lack of candidates in general, but a lack of candidates that even bother with your advert. It’s one step away from ‘salary negotiable’ and then asking the candidate what they currently earn when in the room.
There’s not even a salary range ffs!

Had it recently, and exceptionally unsurprisingly, got an offer of 20% up.
20% is generally considered what it takes for someone to jump.
Got 20% match where I am and stayed, and they’ve asked me for another chat. I wonder if they’re just going to go 20% again.
I think it’s a lose lose for them however, because if they do, I’m just going to know they were low balling me the first time….
I’m gonna move this to the IT thread

I had it with what I’d call my first decent job move way back when, they asked what I wanted and gave them a figure, they came back 10% more 😂.
Few points on the job as above that I’d pickup on if looking for this sort of thing:
- no salary info
- says it’s shift based on two week rotation but no more details, and linked to first point no info on any shift bonus/allowances
- Marked as an entry level role which might deter some people with experience, esp when the ad uses phrases like ‘proven experience’, ‘strong knowledge’, ‘solid understanding’.
I know entry level doesn’t necessarily mean no experience, and on Linkadin it’s probably more about what’s the closest of the available options the job falls into, but the ad could be filtered out by people who have the experience you want based on them not looking for entry level.
(That was a s**t explanation on that last point, but I’m tired and my brain isn’t working tonight so hopefully you get what I mean!)
Also the ‘what we offer’ section could be summarised as basically ‘a job’, none of those things are particularly stand out benefits to most. At least it doesn’t go as far as saying ‘company laptop’, gee thanks you give me a machine to do my work on, else I’d plan to whip out my stone tablet and chisel 😂

When I went for the job I'm in now, I don't remember ever applying for it, I've got no record of the application in my email, nor on any of the sites.
With that they asked my salary expectations, I said a minimum of X.
They then asked what I was currently on, which was £5k over X, but they came back, pretty quickly with £15k above.
Still to this day I don't know if they advertised a banding or not, so I guess they done similar to Rob and increased the offering to something I was quite likely to accept.
