Do I have to include salary in my job posting?
Yes — a readable pay range is required, and it is what candidates filter on.
Last updated July 31, 2026Yes. A posting needs a compensation range that can be read as numbers.
The reason is candidate behaviour rather than policy. Pay is one of the first things people narrow by, and a posting without a readable range is simply not there when someone filters to it. It is the single biggest thing you control about how many people see your role.
