If This is Missing From Your Job Postings Be Aware of the Message It Sends

6/9/2022

Transparency is one of the core tenets of employee engagement and a great culture.
 
As is a genuine commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
 
Including a real understanding of the message that every action sends.
 
Such as the practice of not including a salary range in every job posting.
 
Because including pay ranges in job ads signals much about the organization to the candidate:
 
🚩 Transparency
🚩 Trust
🚩 Respect
 
𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙖𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙟𝙤𝙗𝙨.
 
While the reasons that organizations are reluctant to advertise salary ranges are wide-ranging, one concern that is often cited is that existing staff will feel underpaid.
 
Obviously, if there is apprehension about employees finding out what others earn, there is a problem that needs to be addressed.
 
𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚, 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙮 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.
 
Unsurprisingly, top talent is not attracted to those types of companies.
 
It's true that it is slowly becoming more common to include pay information up-front.

But it is still unfortunately not a widespread practice.
 
And candidates are still mostly forced to play the salary game.
 
Including rules around when and how salary should be discussed.
 
However, large numbers do not have the time or interest in this game, so they don’t even apply.
 
✅ Not only because they don’t want to waste time, but also because of the message it sends about the company.
 
Meaning that organizations are losing out on great candidates from the outset.
 
Because this continued practice tells candidates that there is no commitment to equity, transparency is lacking, and the organization does not respect their time.

Regardless of what the rest of the job posting, or the company’s website might say.

Which is obviously not the way to start a relationship.
