Anna Maybank, Co-Founder, and CEO of Breakroom commented:
"We've built the first people-powered jobs site that helps users not just find a job, but find a 'good' job. Breakroom gives everyone access to great information empowering them to get a 'good' job.
We ask and answer the questions that matter to the community, like 'how much are you paid per hour?' 'How much notice do you get for your shifts?' and 'does your manager treat you with respect?'
Whilst pay is rising it's being outpaced by inflation, using the data from Breakroom members we can show pay ranges for jobs even if it isn't included in the job advert.
Our members have told us that the combination of low pay mixed with the cost-of-living crisis is the number one reason they are currently looking to leave or change jobs. The comparison against the cost of the World Cup just highlights the challenges faced by frontline workers during the current cost of living crisis.
The Breakroom Quiz helps job seekers understand how their job compares and produces an individual Breakroom score for their job that they can then compare against our employer rating, helping them find a better job that meets their needs."
