I don't get it, does he get off on wasting people's time?

In my region, it's legally required to post salary ranges.

It's a diversity/equality thing, so we get to report the missing ones as sexism.

So you would rather waste everyone's time and go through interviews, just for the applicant to decline based off pay?

Middle management is really trying to stay relevant in the face of AI, huh?

Yes, and?

What about the most experienced who couldn't even bother to write a resume and would rather do gardening than deal with all that bullshit? Maybe money isn't the big deal you thought it was. The world is changing and people are starting to get sick of hearing about wealth and are now starting to shoot for community happiness.

Getting applicants isn't the purpose of the hiring process, getting the actual people working for you is the purpose of the hiring process.

Even if you don't publish the offered rate and thus get some of the high flying talent to apply and all the way through the interviewing process, they're still going to tell you to fuck off when you offer them less (in this guy's example, 20% less) than what they're already making.

Sure, you get more applicants, what you don't get is the persons you need hiring any or any better. In fact, it's probably slower (because you're wading through inapropriate applications), wasting your time and that of those applicants who are never going to accept that job, so you're both worse off.

Anybody hiring who falls for this guy's (who is seemingly from some placement agency) bullshit doesn't know what the fuck they're doing and should not have such responsabilities.

Paying for the true value, what a concept

Did he just managementsplain supply and demand?

I hope that's a satire account. If your target applicant is someone currently making $135k, then you'd better fucking be offering at least $150k, and even that's lowballing it in my opinion.

If an employer is expecting someone to change companies and possibly locations to come work for them, they'd better be offering more than a $1250/mo pay raise. If they're offering a pay cut, forget about it.

A decent government would require employers to list salary ranges and make it illegal to go any lower than what they say in the listing.

In my view, this way of thinking makes a less obvious mistake, which is also reproduced in the comments. It assumes that someone would change jobs only for a higher salary. However, some people would also accept a lower salary in exchange for better working conditions.

80s business guy here... He's not just a dick. He sounds like a fucking moron.

Yes this is how job searching works. Loser nepo baby is upset that people won't work for less. This isn't words of wisdom it's how job hunting has worked since the dawn of time. If you want the 135k guy then offer 135k.

So someone currently earning 135k should waste time and resources to apply to a job that will never pay somewhere close, just so you can get what?

If you don't post the salary, as soon as you ask the talent making 135k what their salary expectations are, your conversation is over. They are out of your range. You don't pay enough to earn their talent. They are not going to accept a 19% pay cut for you. You and your pay range are the problem and the reason you don't attract such talent, you absolute baffoon, not the transparency.
