Should You List Salary Ranges on Your Job Postings?
September 26, 2026 · 1 min de lecture
Pay transparency is increasingly expected — and it tends to benefit employers too.
Salary transparency requirements are expanding across several provinces, and even where it's not legally required, listing a range tends to improve hiring outcomes overall.
Understand your legal requirements
Rules on salary disclosure vary and are changing — check current requirements for your specific province.
Consider the practical benefits
- Fewer applications from candidates outside your budget
- Faster negotiations later in the process
- A stronger reputation for transparency among candidates
Set a realistic, honest range
A range so wide it's meaningless (or so narrow it leaves no room for negotiation) undermines the purpose — aim for something genuinely useful.
Be consistent across postings
Applying the same transparency standard across all your job postings, not just some, builds trust with candidates evaluating your organization overall.
