One of the jobs posted says "we pay in kit, holidays and (a little) cash".
That screams the complete opposite of a good calibre of advertiser to me I'm afraid. Which is a real shame because everything you've written in the past about the London recruitment scene is correct and I'd love to see some real changes in the industry!
We had a bit of an internal debate about that particular vacancy. The company are legit and the job is a bit of a unique one in the sense that it's a travel blog where you get to do something completely different.
We are going to do our best to ensure the calibre remains high but high salary doesn't automatically mean high calibre. We want to offer something a bit different too.
That being said, the site is about the users so if this is the sort of ad you don't want to see then we will absolutely keep it in mind next time something like that pops up.
It would be good if there was some sort of karma system in place, so that user accounts who consistently post worthwhile jobs were rewarded, and sucky jobs were down modded. Open to abuse, so you'd have to watch it, but would definitely be an interesting concept.
