Salary insights
When enough of a result set states pay, a panel summarises the spread and tells you what share of listings it is based on.
When a result set contains enough stated pay, a panel above the list summarises it: minimum, median, average, maximum, and a distribution across six buckets.
- The header tells you the coverage, as a count and as a percentage of the current results. That number is the honest context for everything else in the panel.
- One currency at a time. The most common currency in your results is used and the others are left out, rather than mixed into a meaningless median.
- Pay is shown as the employer quoted it. Annualising happens only inside this panel, to make the distribution comparable.
- Fewer than three usable figures and it refuses to chart. It says most listings hide pay instead of drawing a graph from two points.
Open a job with stated pay and you also get its position against the rest of the current results, as a percentage above or below the median and a marker on a quartile scale.
Where it stops: "Above market" here means above the other results on your screen, not a national benchmark. Narrow the search and the comparison changes with it, so it is a reading of your result set rather than of the job market.

- Why so many listings show no payBecause the employer did not state any. We show pay as it was quoted and drop anything we cannot vouch for, rather than guessing.
- What a pay estimate isWhere the employer stated nothing, we sometimes show what comparable postings paid, on a deliberately different-looking card.
- Sorting resultsFour orders: best match, newest, salary and CV match. Sorting only reorders, it never removes a row.
