We're an open organisation so we want to be transparent about compensation. Salaries are set at a competitive rate for your job, your location, and your experience level.
We offer regular performance reviews with salary incentives and company bonuses.
We also offer a great deal of flexibility and freedom, characteristics that we know are important to most people.
Writers
Writers are on freelance contracts with Contentellect. We pay writers a price per word rate. The rate is dependent on the quality of the writer, experience level and client requirements.
Account Managers
Account Managers are paid a fixed monthly salary. Every 6 months team members will have a performance review, and if their work is satisfactory we offer a salary increase using the following scale.
There are three potential outcomes from a performance review.
You're doing a great job: We will provide constructive feedback and offer you a salary increase, as above.
You're doing a good job, but there is room for improvement: We'll highlight where you're falling short and provide helpful guidance on how you can up your game. You won't be offered a salary increase, but should you make the required improvements by your next review, your salary will increase to correspond with the time you've spent at Contentellect.
You're way off the mark: In the unlikely event that your performance is falling way short of our expectations, we would have already let you know that things aren't going in the right direction and assuming you are still unable to lift your performance by the review date, we will, unfortunately, have to part ways.
Bonuses
We believe in sharing our success with the people that are responsible for it.
At Contentellect we provide a company-wide bonus. Everyone receives the same bonus based on the company's performance. This means we need to work as a team to ensure existing clients don't cancel or stop using us, and new clients are wowed when they work with us.
When sub-par work is delivered, you hurt, the company hurts and so do fellow team members. We therefore all need to pull in the same direction to hit our goals, and one should feel bad if they're not pulling their weight.
We want everyone to feel like they are part of a team and be excited when the company does well. Every new order that comes through the door is one that gets us all closer to a bonus at the end of a month.
