Only 1 in 3 UK job ads include salary info. That's likely to change – the government's currently consulting on making it a legal requirement. Here's the 1 minute read on why showing the salary on job ads matters and why you don't need to wait for the law to change before you start.
01
Support fair and equitable pay
When pay is hidden, it's often shaped by who negotiates hardest. Asking candidates about salary history or expectations creates an uneven playing field – and it's women and people from minority ethnic backgrounds who lose out most.
02
Bring in more applications, from a better-fit talent pool
Over half of UK adults say they're unlikely to apply for a job with no salary listed. Employers who add it consistently see applications jump by 60% or more – and the people who apply are self-selecting for roles that actually fit.
03
Show your culture from the start
Withholding salary until the final stages sends a signal that pay is something to keep quiet about. Publishing it upfront tells candidates – and your own employees – that your organisation has nothing to hide when it comes to how people are paid and valued.
04
Save time and resources
If you still need convincing – including salary info in the job ad saves time and resources in the talent acquisition process, by removing bottlenecks and making sure everyone’s aligned on salary from the outset.
