Salary transparency is very important to job seekers because it offers reassurance that they are being offered the same pay as other candidates and employees who have a similar set of skills and experiences. Additionally, salary transparency helps to reduce bias in the workplace, and job seekers today care about businesses providing an even playing field for job seekers and employees and prioritizing equality.
According to Adzuna’s recent study, 28% of U.S. job seekers’ biggest frustration is seeing no salary or a lack of clarity about salary (including very large salary ranges) on job ads. Pay transparency also saves time for job seekers during the application process as they can narrow down their options.
