Salary benchmarks
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Businesses are constantly seeking new ways to understand trends, grow in new markets, and explore innovations. However 99% of the questions businesses would love to explore go unanswered
The steps required to launch a survey have typically been cumbersome. Attest have built a platform that is self-serve, and allows companies to ask targeted questions from a wide range of audiences
The traditional research market is worth $76 billion, and yet it only serves a fraction of those who would benefit from fast and reliable consumer insights
Attest is currently focused on larger customers such as Heineken, Boots, Samsung. They are also seeing demand from smaller players such as Monzo and Nutmeg, showing the size of the opportunity

Diversity & Inclusion at Attest
Emily Meiklejohn (Talent Lead )
- The world's best companies mirror the world around them. We are building an Attest that brings together, and actively celebrates, diversity in race, age, physical and mental ability, sexuality, gender identity and perspectives.
- At Attest, we unequivocally stand for a deeply human-centric and people-first approach, where there is no place for discrimination, inequality or injustice.
- We make an active choice to acknowledge and remove systemic inequality from our people and talent processes. We don't claim to have this all figured out yet, but it's a journey we are fully accountable to.
- We conduct regular employee engagement surveys and follow up with deep dive sessions so we can understand what’s working well and what can be even better. We then commit to appropriate actions to drive change across Attest.
- We have a wide range of benefits designed to meet the diverse needs of our employees, including benchmarked compensation ranges, flexible work arrangements and professional development opportunities.
- We have a number of family-friendly policies to support Attesters from day one, including fertility treatment and family planning policy to enhanced parental leave policy.
- We’ve adopted a hybrid working approach, where employees split their time between the office and their home / alternative place of work. Typically Attesters are in the office 2 days per week. We’re also mindful that flexible working arrangements can make a big difference for a variety of reasons and encourage Attesters to let us know if flexible working will enable the best balance for them.
- We encourage performance but not burn out and prioritise the wellbeing of our team members by offering generous annual leave allowances, paid sick leave for your physical and mental health, plus a $40 per month wellness allowance and Sanctus coaching to help you perform at your best.
- Throughout the hiring process, we ask candidates if they require reasonable adjustments. We believe that every candidate should feel they belong as their complete selves and that reasonable adjustments can ensure that no one is disadvantaged.
