Stream hires in Co, Amsterdam and remote. I think it's a good trend that jobs show a salary indication. The only thing that makes it tricky is that the range can be quite wide depending on experience. So for some roles, where you are ok with a wide range of experience your low to high range can be 3-4x. So it doesn't solve all problems, but it solves some. Probably a good initiative.
- el_benhameen 5y agoI support legislation like this, but I think it's actually made some of the bands wider so that companies can continue to be vague. I think California mandates disclosure when a company is asked about a position, but every time I've tried that with a recruiter I get a "well, I've got some really wide ranges, it depends on experience and how the interview and your placement goes, but somewhere between $N,000 and $3N,000". Given that N is often less than my current salary and 3N is way more, this makes the question useless for determining whether proceeding with the company is a waste of time (although I guess you could say it's a waste of time to engage with a company that refuses to discuss salary in good faith).
