Connecting Compensation to Unbiased Job Requirements
With many states moving toward the requirement of disclosing salary ranges on job postings, companies are scrambling to figure out what their roles are actually worth and how to justify the compensation - internally and externally. It’s no longer just about years of experience, skills are where the spotlight falls. And remember, you are not hiring the best negotiator, you are paying for the most skill.
So, when it’s time to hire and put together a compelling job posting, how can you align the salary range to the skill level in a way that doesn’t alienate candidates and employees?
