Why not list the salary up front? That reduces the number of people with wildly different remuneration expectations?

Why not list the salary up front? That reduces the number of people with wildly different remuneration expectations?
- ludicrousdispla 11mo agoYeah, I lose a lot of interest whenever I am asked my salary expectations.
- chihuahua 11mo agoI'd prefer to get that out there early in the process, rather than go through 5 interviews and then find out they're offering half of my minimum requirement.
- FinnKuhn 11mo agoBecause they hope that someone gives them a number that is lower than the salary they had in mind.
- lone-cloud 11mo agoBingo. Discussing salary is a game and the first person to say a number loses.
- ryandrake 11mo agoIt's totally unserious to ask a candidate to negotiate against himself by providing a ceiling. As the candidate, just say $1M/year and move on to the next employer. If they're not asking a serious question they should not expect a serious answer.
- TZubiri 11mo agoA more generous interpretation is that they want to find out what the market salary is. How are they supposed to know what the market price is if they say their salary range first?
- BobaFloutist 11mo agoYou could say the same for candidates.
- FinnKuhn 11mo agoNormally I would agree, but they obviously already have a budget planned for this role as they turned candidates down for being "outside of budget", so I assume they are aware of the range a market salary should be in.
- patja 11mo agoThey are legally required to include the salary range in the job posting in Washington State.
