Do you think organizations should be required to share salary ranges in their job postings?

Yes absolutely! Often organizations want employees to desire work for other reasons other than pay, such as career advancement and a positive work environment. While These are great reasons to choose a company and should be factors when making your choice, at the end of the day everyone work’s to pay their bills and enjoy life outside of work. Salary is the top contributor to a positive work life balance and being able to rest so you can get back to enjoying work.

Yes they absolutely should. Candidates are looking for a number of things from a new position but salary is definitely at the top of the list. It is a need and not just a nice to have like some other elements of the job. I have been in the position before where I applied to a job, it was a great fit, they were interested in my skill set and offered me the job, and I would have taken it, but the offered salary was way too low for me to even consider it. They didn’t have the salary in the posting and wouldn’t discuss the salary earlier on in the process. It ended up being a waste of time for them and for me because if I had known the salary sooner, I wouldn’t even have applied. It doesn’t do anyone any favours to keep it secret and just wastes valuable time in finding the right candidate.

Yes I agree that salary ranges should be posted. It not only wastes the candidates time but also wastes the company’s managers time when reaching out to applicants and interviewing candidates to then find out that they turn down the job due to the wage offered at or after the interview. The only company’s that oppose this idea are those companys who have an unfair wage progression system in place for their current employees.

Yes, I do. Full stop.
