> To the OP: if you believe your comp bands are competitive, why not share in the posting itself?

Leaving that out makes it clear that the post was made in good faith. If I thought the submission was just a job ad in disguise, I might have flagged it.

I think the GP is saying "Why don't you put your salary band into the job ad", rather than "why didn't you link the job ad itself here".

Which is 100% valid! Beyond being mandatory in more and more jurisdictions, having the salary range be posted has made me more likely to apply. Extremely confidence inspiring when it actually is market rate.

I know recruiters/C suite people think they can jedi mind trick people into taking super low offers that way, but really almost all really good candidates will be able to get jobs elsewhere anyways so you're just wasting a bunch of people's time cuz they're not going to take the offer.
