sawar··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2015)
Most people, including myself, won't bother applying to a position unless the salary range is posted.

There's no point to doing 2, 3, or even 4 interviews for a job that potentially pays less.

Employers should learn that lesson.

Sadly those salaries shown are 2X to 4X salaries in the DC area.

Interesting article and its small sampling echoes what I’ve long preached – keep HR and recruiters out of the hiring process.

The claim that HR/recruiters are the only ones that have “pipeline management” (translation: multitasking), “offer negotiation” (translation: requirements validation; this is farce as HR/recruiters work for the company and not the candidate, thus they all have a take-it-or-leave-it approach), and “brand recognition” skills are completely false. If HR/recruiters were such experts on brand recognition then there would have been responses to the limited sampling.
