Should You List Salary Ranges on Your Job Postings?

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.
