Changes at "New hiring rules"

Problem statement

We want to be able as a small organisation to easily hire and put fixed price consultancy work in the market at competitive wages.

Atm we have a restrictive system to calculate wages that does not allow us to do this: https://contribute.mautic.org/policies/paying-contributors

About the ethical implications. If we want quality we will have to pay a good wage for the geographical area. The market will determine the price and if we do it correctly the result will be long term.

The goal is not to get cheap labor but to get an advantage to hire good people at the best price.

Detailed proposal

We want to switch to a pragmatic approach until we are a bigger organisation. We want to be able to benefit from market forces to get the best person for the best value.

Process:

• We put job description in the market
• We create a short list of people who are qualified
• We look at the geographical area, skills, position and determine the correct wage

Benefits / impact

Being able to hire at competitive rates and get more done for our budgets.

Potential challenges

If we grow bigger we need an HR wage matrix to make sure there is more structure. We don't want it now because it is a big investment.

Resources needed

Nothing, just a decision.
