@thetimes: Should companies have to disclose salaries on job adverts? Imagine spending hours applying and then being interviewed for your dream role only to discover that the salary is much less than you thought. Experiences like this could soon become a thing of the past. The government is consulting on new rules that would require employers to advertise salary ranges up front instead of keeping pay under wraps until the final stages of the recruitment process. But is it a good idea? #news#employment#salary#job #money
They also shouldn't be allowed to ask current salary.

I don’t mind a range, but if you put ‘competitive’ and its national minimum wage, you should have massive fines because they are taking the piss

100% The only reason to hide it would be to try and deceive the candidate.

Yes. Absolutely. If they’re not transparent at that stage, then they’re not likely to be a good employer.

We already have that in Sweden, and I think it was a EU-directive? Either way, it's better for equality and it means less time wasted when looking for jobs

It’s mandatory in Austria and they all just put the minimum wage on there. Then say that pay will be raised based on experience.

If a job advert does not disclose the salary, I'm not applying, simple! I won't waste their time and they certainly won't be wasting mine.
