Listing salary information is becoming an increasingly important topic. The indication of an approximate salary or a pay range is particularly appreciated by job seekers or potential candidates. Add a salary range to your job posts and get valuable insights from JobCloud.
Candidates want wage information
Our Product teams are in constant contact with job seekers. In various interviews and surveys, it is repeatedly stated that active and passive candidates have a great desire to find wage information in job postings. However, a recent JobCloud survey has shown that only about a third of companies are currently willing to disclose their wages. Employers still have a lot to do in order to comply with the jobseekers› wish.
The advantages of wage information in job postings
Indicating the wage or an approximate pay range in your job listings will bring you some advantages. Not only will you meet the job seekers› desire for wage transparency, but you will also stand out from the competition. You could also receive more qualitative applications, as only candidates who are satisfied with the salary stated in the job posting will apply. This reduces the likelihood of applicants jumping off during the recruitment process and may save you a lot of time in your recruitments. If you specify the salary in the job advertisement, it will also improve the placement in Google’s job search function and thus ensure greater visibility. We also see in other well-known job portals that wage information in job postings is becoming increasingly important.
