      Salary: Competitive 

      (We won’t tell you until you’ve wasted 4 weeks on applications and interviews only to find its £20k lower than your current job)

      “UK employers have become less likely to advertise salaries or offer non-pay benefits as a slump in hiring persists, according to data published on Tuesday by the jobs site Indeed.  The share of job postings including information on pay was 55 per cent in October, down from 65 per cent a year earlier and the lowest since the end of 2021, its figures showed.  

      A similar pattern emerged with the share of postings advertising other benefits, such as flexibility, travel to work or food, which also fell compared with a year earlier, albeit with a smaller drop from 67 to 65 per cent.  Employers have also become less likely to offer signing-on bonuses, which became widespread during a post-pandemic hiring upswing in sectors suffering from acute skills shortages. 

      Jack Kennedy, senior economist at Indeed, said the figures suggested companies were increasingly able to name their terms in a jobs market where candidates were now jostling for the limited opportunities available.  “The dial has swung further in their favour,” Kennedy said, noting that employers were also becoming stricter about office attendance rules, with the majority stipulating at least two or three days spent on-site. 

      The drop in salary transparency is striking, because UK wage growth has so far remained relatively strong, despite a long period of falling payroll employment and sluggish hiring.  The latest official data shows average weekly wages were 4.8 per cent higher than a year earlier in the three months to September and recent survey evidence suggests there has been little change in employers’ expectations for wage growth over the year ahead.  But pay growth has been strongest in the public sector and in low-wage sectors like hospitality where increases in the minimum wage have forced employers’ hand. 

      In keeping with official data and surveys, Indeed’s figures show average UK wage growth remains strong, with advertised pay 5.3 per cent higher than a year earlier, compared with 2.4 per cent in the US and Eurozone.  Job ads that do not disclose pay are more likely to be for higher-paid professional roles where salaries tend to be negotiable.  Hiring has been weakest in the areas where employers face greatest cost pressures from the higher minimum wage and payroll taxes. Indeed’s data showed UK postings for high-wage jobs were just 14 per cent below their pre-pandemic level.

      However, postings for low-wage occupations were down 20 per cent, in contrast to Germany, France and Italy where demand for low-wage workers remains relatively strong.”

      Employers: hide salary until they make the offer where it is substantially less than what you are currently on.

      Also Employers: ‘it’s impossible fill this role as there are no good candidates, time to offshore it’.

      I’m sure many people, myself certainly, won’t even bother reading the advertisement if there is no salary displayed.

      If you don’t disclose the salary from the off, it’s a massive red flag and I won’t be applying.

      Learned that lesson when I was young.

      The job market only cares about 1 thing: how easy are you too replace. Everything else is built on top of that.

    8. Wassa76 on

      To be honest, I find less disclose it, but the values are higher than current employees are being paid due to the stagnation over the last few years.

      What I don’t understand, is how the government is wanting to raise GDP, and is raising minimum wages, but won’t make employers advertise salaries as some other countries do. Surely it would put upward pressure on salaries, increasing tax revenue and GDP?

    10. Conspiruhcy on

      I wouldn’t apply for and my company wouldn’t advertise roles that don’t state the salary. It’s waste of time for both parties not to at least give a range.

    11. CaptainVXR on

      We offer a competitive (minimum that we think we can get away with) salary, perks like statutory holiday entitlement, part of which is used for a mandatory Christmas shutdown whether you like it or not, and the government-legislated auto-enrolment pension scheme. Come join us for a mandatory 5 days a week in office role that could be mostly done from home, zero flexibility on start and finish times, micromanagement and an impossible workload, and pay for your own Christmas social, attendance mandatory!

      Isn’t this just the irony of modern UK summed up?

      No one can find a job, employers are complaining that there’s a “hiring slump” and their way of dealing with it is hiding less than mediocre salaries and not offering any perks.

      You’d think that there’d be a lightbulb moment somewhere in the recruitment team at some point… “hmmm if no one is taking our jobs, maybe we should actually make them an attractive proposition”.

    13. BaldyBaldyBouncer on

      I’m assuming all the people saying they wouldn’t apply if there is no salary listed are in pretty junior roles. Once you get past 50k the only jobs that list the salary tend to be scams.

      Job I’m in now didn’t advertise a salary and ended up having a pay cut to swap jobs, but I needed to leave my last job. Now I’m working for a vastly better business and had a pay rise this year which makes it even better.

      I know this is probably an unusual experience but I’m so glad I took the chance and I’m undoubtedly in a better position now than a few years ago

      This is just that Indeed ad interview in the flesh, then?

    16. Georgioies on

      Please stop listing legaly required things as perks please…

      This thread is full of people who like to moan, and by the sounds of things, haven’t applied for a job within the last 10 years.

      Job adverts often won’t list the salary, but when you apply, nine times out of ten, the first stage is a 15 minute call with a recruiter or hiring manager.

      One of the first questions they ask is what your current salary is. They will then tell you whether the role you’re applying for is in line with or above that salary.

      Ive interviewed for dozens of companies, and never have they only disclosed the salary at the end of multi week process. It doesn’t benefit you or them.

      Not looking for work but I guarantee I would never apply for a job with no salary or benefits in the advert. Why go to the effort of applying, which is a ball ache these days, to get offered the job and find out it is not worth leaving my current job? People desperate for any job will still apply regardless because they need something, do all it will do is turn away who are already in work.

      Feel very lucky to have my mostly-boring and sometimes-frustrating but ultimately competitively-paid and not-that-stressful corporate job right now. I was made redundant last year and it took me 6 months to find something new. It’s not a happy time to be on the market.

    20. carboncopy404 on

      I work for a large recruitment company (in the marketing team( and we did research on salary transparency which found:

      78% of people are less likely to apply to a job without a salary

      22% of people exclusively apply to jobs that list salaries

      Employers are shooting themselves in the foot not displaying their offered salaries, but we all know it’s because they want to offer as little as possible, and/or don’t want their current employees to learn there’s a huge discrepancy of salaries within their company for the same job/team.
