How salary transparency works

In recent years, many states and provinces have passed laws requiring the inclusion of salary information in job postings. Job boards, such as Indeed, will remove job posts that don't include a salary or pay range.

Learn more about job board best practices and how including salary information on job posts can improve your hiring results.

To help our partners avoid negatively impacting job visibility, we've added salary transparency requirements to accounts that operate businesses in affected states.

When enabled, this setting applies to all new jobs, and any existing jobs or job templates that you (or users in your account) edit. The next time you create or edit a job post in a state that requires salary transparency, you'll see a revised message in the Salary section.

If you (or a user in your account) do not include salary information in your job post, CareerPlug will prompt you to enter required salary information.
