What a pay review can look like.

I had been at the same company for four years and assumed my salary was roughly market rate. I uploaded my CV on worthmore.ie and found out I was £14,000 below the market range for a Finance Manager with my experience in London financial services.

"The report showed me exactly what to say. I went back to my employer with the Robert Walters and Hays data and asked for a review. I got £11,000 immediately with a review in six months."

The rewritten CV also helped — I had been underselling my ERP implementation experience. Within two months of updating my CV I had three interviews and an offer £18,000 above my existing salary.

I had a job offer with a fintech in Manchester and uploaded the contract before signing. worthmore.ie flagged three issues I had not noticed — an asymmetric notice period (I give 3 months, they give 4 weeks), a non-compete covering all of UK financial services for 18 months, and a bonus clause that was entirely discretionary with no performance criteria.

"I raised all three points before signing. They agreed to symmetric notice, narrowed the non-compete to named competitors only for 6 months, and added minimum bonus criteria. Saved myself a lot of potential pain."

I was a Financial Controller in Edinburgh and suspected I was being underpaid but did not know by how much. The worthmore.ie report showed my salary was £19,000 below the market range for an FC with my experience in financial services.

"The interview guide was the most useful part. It gave me five talking points drawn from my actual experience — things I had done but never articulated properly in an interview. I used them in my next interview and got the offer."

I moved to a new role at £19,000 more than my previous salary. The £16.99 report paid for itself many times over.

I was moving from a Big 4 firm to industry for the first time and was not sure what a standard industry employment contract looked like. The contract review flagged that the non-compete clause covered 24 months across the whole of Europe — far broader than I expected for my level.

"I would not have known that was unusual without the review. I got it reduced to 6 months, UK only. My new employer said it was a standard ask and agreed immediately."
