Overview
Indeed notified Paycor Recruiting that it is enforcing salary requirements in job descriptions.
If you create a job in Paycor Recruiting and promote it to Indeed without a salary in the description, Indeed tries to find a salary for that job. Indeed then shows an estimated range.
Note: Recruiting has no control over how Indeed formats, displays, or interprets your job descriptions and salary information. If you have concerns, contact Indeed directly.
Review the excerpt from Indeed about enforcing salary requirements
|
Salary information is one of the most important factors for job seekers when they search for and view jobs. We know that job seekers want to see salary information for every job posting; when asked if salaries were helpful when shown along with job descriptions, over 80% responded favorably. We also know that jobs with salaries perform better; fill rate for jobs on Indeed Hire improved by 40% when salary information was included. Salaries on Indeed have been gaining popularity with jobseekers since we began showing them in search results in 2015. Also, as you are likely aware, some states are beginning to require salary transparency in job postings. For instance, Colorado already requires salary transparency for all jobs and California now requires companies to report compensation. Other states have similar legislation under consideration as well. […] If no salary can be extracted from the job description, Indeed will show an estimated salary for jobs. If your clients do not wish to have an estimated salary displayed on their job postings on Indeed, they have the ability to override this by including a salary range either within their job description, or provide it to Indeed directly by contacting customer support. |
