Dear employer who just submitted a job list to our website without a salary attached, and then refused to clarify the salary after we emailed to request it:
Thank you for clarifying your organization's discriminatory policy. As you likely know, not listing salaries on job descriptions leads to inequities in who applies for jobs and who eventually gets hired, inequities that often fall on lines of race and class.
We've written about this extensively. https://www.reprojobs.org/blog/why-you-need-to-post-salaries-and-benefits-in-every-job-post
Organizations that refuse to list even a potential salary range with a job description also perpetuate power inequities in the hiring process.
Hiring teams often manipulate candidates into low-balling the salary they need when these teams know that the organization has a specific budget for this position.
That is just the nature of the non-profit job sector in which most jobs are grant funded -- the job is a line item in a budget somewhere. Job seekers know it, employers know it, there's no reason for the mystery behind salary numbers.
It is patently unfair to put job seekers in a position to be unable to judge whether or not a job's salary could meet their basic income needs.
For all of these reasons, we ask you to reconsider posting a salary range with this position. In the meantime, we will not be posting it on our website.
