Show me the money! | Should it be illegal for firms to post job ads with no salary info?

According to new research into salary transparency among 2000 jobseekers by Talent.com, 98% of candidates believe it is important to know the salary before applying for a role.

However, the report, titled Measuring Attitudes Towards Salary Transparency, found that only 20% of job postings available via Talent.com in the UK include this information.

Furthermore, a whopping 81% think employers should be required to disclose salary ranges in job descriptions, while 79% would also support a law requiring this information to be disclosed in job postings.

It’s like reading a book to the end and finding out someone has ripped out the last page, yet many employers still like to leave the salary range in their job adverts blank.
