​​​Someone’s shared this link with you because they’ve seen you advertising a job without including details of the salary. They wanted you to know why including pay details makes a big difference to applicants – and to ask you to commit to showing the salary on your job ads.

​

Why it matters

 

• Support fair and equitable pay: showing salary info is recognised as a key part of levelling the playing field on pay gaps – so if you're setting out to be a diverse, inclusive and equitable employer, putting salary info in the job ad should be a given.

 

• Bring in more applications, from a wider talent pool: well over half of us say we're unlikely to apply for jobs that don't have salary info in the job ad. When you don't show the salary, you miss out on loads of talent.
   

• Show that you treat people well: people don't want to waste time on applying for jobs if the salary might not be a good fit. Including salary info in the job ad, sends a clear signal that you're an employer that respects people's time and effort. Quite simply, it’s the decent way to treat people.
   

• Save time and resources: Including salary info in the job ad saves time and resources in your talent acquisition process, by removing bottlenecks and making sure everyone’s aligned on salary from the outset.
