Did you see Indeed 's Ghosting in Hiring report? One stat jumped out at me: 40% of job seekers say higher pay would prevent them from ghosting. No surprises there, right? But here's the thing - it's not just about higher pay. It's about knowing the pay upfront. At Crossover , we post the exact pay rate for every single job. No guessing games, no awkward negotiations. Whether you're in New York or New Delhi, if you're doing the same job, you're getting the same pay. We think this transparency leads to better matches and fewer drop-offs. After all, why waste time if the salary doesn't work for you? What do you think? If you're hiring, how do you handle salary discussions? And job seekers, how does knowing (or not knowing) the salary impact your application decisions? Let's make hiring more fair and less stressful for everyone!

There's no logic to not adjusting pay for cost of living. Geography and economies exist. 🙄

This is right up there with not paying interns for me. I see many job postings from organizations claiming to be about economic mobility and equity that do not post a pay range, let alone the actual salary - several of them are in Spartanburg. If your organization does not list salary/salary range in job postings, you are not working in economic mobility or equity.

Employer's HR Depts feeling the effects of ghosting. Huh, wonder where candidates learned such a thing?

Yes and... IMHO transparent pay ranges should be a legal requirement (as they now are in New York State). It should really be treated as a human rights issue, because this would illuminate all the sneaky practices that enable companies to systemically underpay minority candidates with zero consequence.

Transparent wages are crucial in building a fair and trustworthy work environment. When employers are open about salary structures, it helps employees understand their value within the organization. This transparency promotes equality, reduces wage disparities, and boosts morale. Employees are more likely to feel respected and motivated when they know they are being compensated fairly. Additionally, transparent wages can attract top talent. Job seekers are increasingly looking for employers who are upfront about pay. By being clear about compensation, companies can stand out in a competitive job market. On the other hand, ghosting—where either party abruptly cuts off communication during the hiring process—is detrimental. For job seekers, being ghosted can be disheartening and disrespectful. For employers, it damages the company's reputation and can result in missed opportunities to hire great talent. Eliminating ghosting starts with clear, honest communication. Employers should provide timely updates to candidates, even if it's just to inform them that the decision-making process is taking longer than expected. Candidates, in turn, should inform employers if they decide to pursue other opportunities. Thank you.

Without knowing what the pay rate for a job is, you could end up doing a technical assessment / being interviewed, in interview they ask what pay rate you're looking for, if your figure is too high for them you'll get feedback like 'thank you, but we found another candidate more suitable for the job', so both your and interviewers time wasted

I understand that due to financial position of a company, not all companies can afford to pay same salary for same job, thus some companies pay more and other less. That might be a reason why some companies don't want to advertise salary. By viewing job adverts for same job in your area/city, you can know the going rate for the job, then decide if job you're applying for is worth it based on salary, technology used/exposure, traffic if hybrid job, etc. Agree with Lauren Watson Salary may differ from place to place due to cost of living. (In some cities rentals / property costs more)

1moClearly stating the salary in the job posting is one of the quickest ways to lower the wage gap for women as well. The gap is self perpetuated by the knowledge that it exists, which gives women a disadvantage in negotiations because the *expect* lower wages.
