Jobseekers' Distrust Grows as Salary-Range Listings Become Common

Jobseekers are feeling duped and frustrated after discovering that the salary ranges listed in job postings may not accurately reflect the actual pay they can expect. Some employers exploit the vague language of pay-transparency laws, setting wide salary ranges or reducing the figures during the interview process. Recruiters argue that candidates often misunderstand what a salary range represents, with companies intending to hire in the middle of the range and leaving room for raises over time. The murky nature of pay-transparency laws adds to the frustration, with no standardized enforcement or definition of terms.

Recruiters are also embracing new AI tools to test job seekers' qualities through skill- and personality assessments.
