This is already against the rules in CO and soon WA and NYC. Your company may as well get use to posting ranges. Ranges are also thought of to lead to more equitable outcomes for those working at the company.

I am in CO and saw one ad that had a link to a special page on their website to "comply" with this regulation. It was a blanket statement that salary can be between $20k (can't remember the low end but it was something like that) and $1MM based on position and experience. I was very put off by that and did not apply. I didn't take the time to look into the legality of using a blanket statement like that but it seems sketchy to me.
I dare say we're not posting frequently enough, that's a good point.
It's against company policy to put the range in the ad. Very very stupid, but probably nothing I can do about that.
We have three languages mentioned in the ad. But any senior candidate can be introduced to new technologies so they're not in the "requirements" section.
We could probably improve turnaround time, but the lack of applicants alongside natural attrition is making that even harder to make happen.
Thank you jhot!
Copypasta: This is a throwaway because I'm just an engineer on the team wondering if there's something obvious we're doing wrong, and I don't imagine this would be considered desirable attention by management.
