Ditch the "Market Conform" Salary Charade
Ditch the "Market Conform" Salary Charade
Listen up, recruiters and hiring managers. When I see a job listing with "market conform" salary, it's an instant turn-off. It tells me exactly what you don't want to tell potential candidates: the real compensation for the role.
Let's get this straight. You're not fooling anyone. We all know what "market conform" means. It's a fancy way of saying you're lowballing or at least unsure of what the position is worth.
Here's the thing: competitive candidates – the ones you actually want to attract – don't waste their time guessing salary ranges. We do our research, we know our worth, and we expect transparency from you.
So ditch the "market conform" nonsense. Advertise a clear and competitive salary range. Here's why it benefits everyone:
Attracts Top Talent: Top performers don't apply to jobs where compensation is a mystery. Be upfront, and you'll snag the best people for the role.
Saves Time: No more back-and-forth emails or awkward salary negotiations. Everyone knows the ballpark figure from the get-go.
Builds Trust: Transparency fosters trust. When you show your cards, candidates see you as a company that values its employees.
Look, I get it. Setting a salary range can be tricky. But that's where the legwork comes in. Do your research, talk to industry professionals, and figure out what the position is truly worth.
Investing that time upfront will pay off in the long run. You'll attract qualified candidates, save time, and build a reputation for being a fair and transparent employer.
Now go forth and advertise those salaries with confidence!
