Yes. It narrows down candidates and saves everyone time.

thank you for asking this! companies love to claim “transparency” but with employees salaries are anything but- feels like a big game. this goes for new jobs and in present role pay raises.

Yes.

My interpretation is that it’s less about lowballing new hires and more about current employees finding out how underpaid they are

like

No - but should be discussed in the first call

like

Yes imo, nothing to hide?

like

A range, yes

Yes. If you cant share the salary, or band, it means one of two things about the organization: they cant quanitfy what the work is worth, or they are chiseling, morally bankrupt individuals trying to get the maximal possible talent at the lowest possible cost. Time to say eff that noise and stop the race to the bottom.

SVP1 is correct.

I’ll bite where they haven’t. Here are a few examples of non-nefarious reasons not to post salaries in the JD:

1) it’s a new role in a specific market and they don’t have enough data to post salary up front. They need to feel the market out, and they’ll do that through conversations.
2) the role is open in multiple markets (ie globally remote). They want to pay top dollar for a given market but triggering an arms race across markets creates a pay equity problem that breaks a given market. (I’ve seen this happen personally)

There are LOTS of other perfectly good reasons we don’t see salaries posted.

Personally, I’d prefer to see more posted and that not having them would be the exception instead of the norm.

Pro tip: when you judge others’ motives in a binary fashion, you are going to be wrong more often than not.

Yes, as a range. You shouldn’t have anything to hide if you’re not either underpaying current employees or trying to lowball new hires.
