How Listing Salary on Job Postings Could Lead to An Increase in Applications

Compensation is rarely listed on job postings and not brought up until the interview, or sometimes not even until an offer is made. However, for candidates, salary is typically the most coveted piece of information to determine if they will pursue an opportunity.

Transparency Attracts More Prospects 

Many industries are struggling to fill their vacant positions; therefore, it is likely that job seekers are having to choose between numerous postings for related jobs from a variety of competing employers. Being upfront and disclosing salary ranges in the job postings can make your company stand out from other organizations that opt to leave out that information. Transparency is an attractive quality in a prospective employer for job seekers because it demonstrates a clear level of respect for their time by allowing them the opportunity to self-select out immediately, rather than at the end of the hiring process. 

Better Candidates Apply Who Otherwise Would Not 

Top talent are in the position to be selective regarding which job opportunities they decide to pursue. Since these candidates are in such demand, they are very unlikely to even consider a posting that does not include salary information because they don’t want to put in the time and effort to apply, only to find out the role doesn’t meet their compensation expectations. By listing your salary range in your job postings, you are much more likely to get better candidates to apply who otherwise would not. 

It Improves Employer Branding

Since it is pretty uncommon for job postings to include salary information, doing so will make you look like a more appealing employer to the job seekers who see it and positively boost your reputation. It also improves your overall branding as an employer because it highlights that your organization has a positive culture and core values – having compensation disclosed in your job postings is a key factor in reducing pay inequity. It will show that you prioritize fair treatment for all employees.
