Simplified hiring process

It's a question job seekers constantly ask - why isn't salary always listed on a job posting? With the increase of online ads and internet postings there has been an increase in the number of employers that are publicly announcing their salaries or benefits packages online. Compensation and benefits will now be shown in the job advertisement. The applicant will no longer have to go through the exams and interviews if the offer is not acceptable to them. Saves time and effort for both the company and the applicant.

why not be truthful about what you are will to pay for a good employee.

@bmarshallqd I have been on many interviews just to find out afterwards the pay is not where I need to be.

  • Reply

@bmarshallqd My former employer basically forces their interns (who are all hoping to get hired at the end of the summer) to write reviews in order to finish their ?social media project?

  • Reply

@amorenoqf There is no simple way to ask about benefits during the interview process without it seeming like you are too focused on what you will get out of the deal

  • Reply

@troseqg Not really - try reading between the lines

  • Reply

@bmarshallqd Just like with restaurant, movie, or app reviews, you can?t take a single review as proof that everything is exactly as that one review says

Companies that have less than reputable practices with salaries don?t want to advertise simply based on the fact that over 70% of new applicants will fold to a company when confronted on how much they expect for a salary. T

@jbakerql its hard to find the right job now

@jbakerql Another option is to join professional associations that are related to your field.

@jcollinsqn So, I shouldn?t use my Ashley Madison account to apply for jobs?

@jbakerql Don't discount a company based outside your current location as many companies these days offer remote work opportunities.

Frankly, I don?t want to work for a company that is deceptive from the start.

In 2017 onwards, I think we will see more and more companies posting their open positions to LinkedIn, so it will be a strong job board

@tandrewsr1 this is the future

  • Reply

@tandrewsr1 Yes, experience is important, but employers also want to know who you are and what drives you

  • Reply

@ldunnr3 an experienced candidate with the drive to learn and succeed has a real shot

  • Reply

@ldunnr3 When I was passed over after two interviews, part of me really wanted to ask what the salary had been so I had a better sense of what I was wading into/waiting for should they have a similar opening.

  • Reply

@ldunnr3 Cut through the chase and just state what you are wulling to pay for that position.

The recession continued this trend, because employers used to include a salary to attract more qualified applicants, as a competitive advantage to get the best people

@rmcdonaldrc there are ways to generally understand what a specific position might pay

  • Reply

@rmcdonaldrc can you tell us how

  • Reply

@jruizre Plain and simple, if you?re an employer and you?re afraid to post the salary information ? then that proves you?re not offering a competitive package.

  • Reply

@rmcdonaldrc No one is untouchable in this economy.

  • Reply

Lots of candidates may apply, as they have no clue what you will pay. The top candidate will move ahead, not understanding if they can work with this mysterious unknown salary, but ever so hopeful.

@kbarnesrh I work in an industry (as an independent contractor) where the pay varies hugely from company to company, as do expectations.

  • Reply

@kbarnesrh Companies want you to sign your life away for minimal compensation.

  • Reply

In other words, they don?t care if they?re wasting your time. That should tell you something about the employer.

  • Reply

A company that you can have high hopes for a long-lasting career will be up front about this simply due to the fact that it?s a very large incentive for talent and a huge detractor for talent if not posted.

  • Reply

@kjamesrl Employers need to provide a salary range. If the pay isn?t sufficient, they are wasting their time interviewing and certainly wasting the time of the perspective employee.

  • Reply

@kjamesrl I agree perspective employers should list a salary range especially due to the fact that many college grads need to pay back student loans.

  • Reply

@scollinsrn I feel they should give a range or base because I keep getting interviews which is excellent of course in this day and age and then when you get to the interview and you are talking and they say they love the experience

  • Reply

@fcookrm The perspective employer should show RESPECT to those perspective Employees

  • Reply

@fcookrm I feel it should ALWAYS be included in job descriptions.
