Six things we will not do to the people who apply to us.

Not a values page. Six specific practices, named, that a signatory gives up — in public, on a dated page, with their name and job title next to it.

STRUCK OUT, ALL SIX
“Salary: competitive.”
“Location: Remote.”
“You’ll meet the team at final stage.”
“A short take-home, couple of hours.”
“Due to the volume of applications…”
“Benefits do not apply to contractors.”

What a seat commits you to

Six things. You either do them or you do not, and an applicant can tell within thirty seconds of reading one of your job posts which it is.

Total cost to an employer
£0

Every one of the six is a decision, not a spend. That is the whole reason it is signable.

01
Publish the salary band on the post.

The real band, not “competitive”, and not a range so wide it means nothing.

02
State the countries you will actually hire in.

“Remote” is not a location. If it is five countries, name the five.

03
Name the manager the person will actually report to, before they apply.

Not the recruiter. Not the hiring manager if they are a different person. The one they will report to.

04
Pay for test projects and assessments.

If the work is worth setting, it is worth paying for. If it is not worth paying for, do not set it.

05
Reply to every applicant, especially those you reject.

A short rejection email inside two weeks costs nothing to send. Silence is a decision, and applicants read it as one.

06
Apply the same benefits logic to contractors.

Different contract, same reasoning. Leave, equipment, learning budget — whatever the logic is, it holds for both.

The Hundred

Every seat carries the employer’s logo, name and the date they signed. The empty ones stay on the page. Nobody buys a seat, nobody is placed in one, and nobody is removed quietly.

THE OBVIOUS QUESTION

What happens at one hundred and one?

The Hundred closes and the register opens.

The first hundred stay on this page permanently, numbered, as the founding signatories. Everyone after them joins an open register with no cap and no number — same six commitments, same public record.

The scarcity is real but it is one-off. It buys the launch its urgency and then gets out of the way.

The register

Seat · Employer · Signed by · Date. Typed into the page as each one comes in.
SEAT

SIGNED BY
DATE

No seats taken yet. The first employer to sign takes seat 01, and the register starts here.

SIGN THE PLEDGE

All six, or none.

There is no partial signature. Signing asserts that all six are already true of your live postings — not that you intend them to be.

WHO MAY SIGN

A named person with the authority to change how the organisation hires, using a work email at the signing domain. Their name and job title are published with the entry.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

We send a one-click confirmation to that address. Nothing appears on the page until you click it, and the entry is added by hand — usually within a working day.

BRING A LOGO

A square transparent PNG puts your mark on the board. Without one the tile carries your name alone, which is a designed state, not a gap.

EMPLOYER
YOUR NAME
YOUR JOB TITLE
WORK EMAIL

Must match the employer's own domain. Free mailboxes are rejected.

CONFIRM ALL SIX — ALREADY TRUE, NOT INTENDED

All six must be ticked. There is no partial signature.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!

Six commitments. None of them costs money.
