That's not shallow at all. If a job doesn't list an attractive salary it's a clear indication it's not a good job.

- eradicatethots 9y agoMost jobs don’t list salaries lol
- toomuchtodo 9y agoIf your org doesn't list a salary, I'll go looking on Glassdoor or this crowdsourced spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a1Df6dg2Pby1UoNlZU2l0FEykKsQKttu7O6q7iQd2bU/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a1Df6dg2Pby1UoNlZU2l... Or I'll ask former employees sourced from their Linkedin profiles. Fight information asymmetry whenever possible.
- humanrebar 9y agoI'm curious. Why the downvotes on this comment?
- quuquuquu 9y agoAngry recruiters and managers who don't want the truth exposed :)
- toomuchtodo 9y agoAs long as HN doesn't shadow/hell ban me when these subjects come up and I comment like I did above, I'm always going to fight for workers to maximize their earning potential.
- quuquuquu 9y agoThe power of alternate accounts, I've already experienced the end-game you've described ;) Sadly there is not much of an appetite for truth that affects any business exploits that rely on misinformation. If you began informing Ethiopian coffee bean farmers of how much Starbucks charges for a cup of coffee for just a few cents worth of coffee beans... They would find a way to raise their price ;)
- mrburton 9y agoThere are multiple reasons why companies don't list out salaries. e.g., it often attracts the wrong talent, it can create distrust with candidates who think "Wait, you're offering me X when you listed X-Z" Some firms won't list it also for legal concerns as well.
- polote 9y agoAnd there is not a full hiring process to find out that those are the wrong people ?
- mrburton 9y agoThe hiring process in most companies is broken. When it comes to recruiters, it's a very interesting space. There are two types engagements recruiting firms have with companies: 1. contingency - You only make money when you place someone. This is what triggers the blasting of many resumes over to companies with little vetting. In short, it's a numbers game. 2. retained - This is when a firm pays the recruiter either all or partially upfront. The recruiter is then incentive to their very best to place the candidate. When you really dig into the recruiting space, it's very interesting and you start to uncover things that create a bad experience for candidates, companies, and recruiters.
