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.

This was discussed in the in-person Council meeting and it was agreed that we would follow these steps to determine the salary offer:
Additional bonus if the role involves significant seniority
We will be transparent about what sources we use to determine the average salary when we post an opportunity so that people can figure out what kind of pay band to expect for the role.
In the case of applying for funding where an amount is required to be provided for an hourly rate, we will consider an average salary for the specific role in Europe for European funds, USA for USA funds etc.
An update will need to be made to the page on contribute.mautic.org about paying contributors to reflect this.
