Q: As a hiring manager, where do you stand on listing salary range in a job listing? Normally I don't out of respect for the people currently on staff, but we have a new opening and the two people currently in the same position said a lot more people would apply if people realize how much we pay.
Since we're not a traditional paper, applicants assume our pay is crumby, but compared to some bigger chains we've always found that our salary scale isn't just competitive, but can sometimes be a huge jump, depending on the company.

A: You have listed several good reasons for putting a salary range in your ad. Go ahead and do it. I can't think of any downside.
