A planning department posts planner openings as "salary DOE," and strong regional candidates drop before applying. What recruitment strategy should the CHRO adopt?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
"Depends on experience" is a fog machine. Good people will not take a day off for an interview if they cannot see whether the paycheck is real—put the range on the posting.
Full Explanation
Pay transparency is a recruiting strategy, not only a compliance chore. Public-sector candidates routinely compare published ranges across agencies; "DOE" reads as opacity and kills yield among people who cannot risk an unpaid process. Publishing ranges lets candidates self-select and reduces late-stage declines. Longer questionnaires, delayed disclosure, and "competitive" language increase friction without restoring trust.
