Should governments mandate that companies post salary ranges in job postings like New York did?

Yes. I no longer apply for jobs that do not mention salaries. Waste of time and everyone is trying to low ball you.

Period! Who has time to be doing HR’s job?

Immediately yes. Companies need to be far more transparent about pay ranges and the decisions that go into deciding who gets paid what and why. That’s the only way we’re ever going to see anything close to fair pay equality.

While I think companies should post pay ranges in general, I don’t think a government mandate makes sense. We need less government involvement in business, not more. Also, companies aren’t being accurate with the posted ranges in many cases. When you force it, that’s what you get.

How would you incentivize companies to post salary ranges without government involvement?

Yes and no.

I’d love to see public pressure on companies to disclose this, because acting like it doesn’t matter is ridiculous. One solution would be governmental action, but that can lead to crap like what my own firm does. “The range for a senior assurance associate at PwC is 76k to 200.2k” We’re in compliance but haven’t told you a realistic range for the actual position in NYC.

It would be better to have recruiters realize that realistic salaries draw quality candidates and avoid wasting everybody’s time.

99 percent of the time, recruiters have nothing to do with compensation and salary “leveling.” It is HR that runs talent acquisition and recruiting at many companies (too many) and sets the compensation ranges, working directly with company leadership.

Should governments mandate this? No.

But would I ever spend time applying for a job without knowing the pay rate range and structure? Absolutely not.

Interesting. Why don't you think it should be mandatory?

I think the crucial part is perfecting the existing broken system. Companies should have to provide the base info at a max of +/-10% deviation in JDs

In theory yes, but from what I can tell, the salary ranges being posted are too wide to really determine what they are actually looking to pay.

Yes

There are too many ways to circumvent this like NY postings have. Seeing a range of $90-200k is not helpful.

Not sure it's the Govt requirement to force this (see above); however, will require more of a culture shift from people applying to demand this upfront.

Yes. It needs to be *FEDERALLY* mandated. It is utterly a waste of time & blatantly disrespectful to not post the salary range up front.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?
