We have spent the past decade in London building great teams. We are applying that experience to improving the process of discovering transparent companies. The best people won’t apply because because your job is a slightly different colour to the other jobs. The best people apply because you are embracing honesty and transparency.
@jacqvon Tough question! Our perfect world scenario is that Honest Work will evolve into a global platform where people get a drastically more transparent understanding of what opportunities are out there and the likelihood of them being a good fit for the company they are considering joining. There are plenty of disparate platforms that assist with this (glassdoor, et al) but they all prioritise the company over the applicant. Our goal is to turn that on its head and put the applicants needs first and foremost.

@jacqvon@steviebuckley "but they all prioritise the company over the applicant" - this exactly is one of my main rage-quits with job sites... I can't stand the fact that most companies are actively searching for talent, then make that same talent hop and scrape as if somehow the company is the heavier on the scale of demand. So much that I had been considering creating one that favored developers instead to even the score a bit - a bid-for-devs if you will ;D
I can see it is early days for your offering but it seems to have started the right way and helped me defer having to take my own shot at it out of spite - good luck, keeping an eye on it...
