I recently applied to a job where I did a 30 minute zoom interview. It went well and I was then asked to attend six 30 minute interviews in person. I was given two days notice for these interviews.
The person I communicated with directly following the initial interview was dead set on scheduling me. Given the salary range was not listed in the job posting, and that was a major commitment considering I currently possess a job, I asked respectfully for a pay range prior to interviews in the interest of everyone’s time. I was then ignored and asked to split the interviews into two days. Before committing, I respectfully asked again about salary and was informed that compensation information was above the scheduling persons pay grade. I was then asked by the supervisor my message was forwarded to what my pay range was. After answering, I was informed they were going a different direction and I would not be interviewing further.
Not including pay range in a job posting should be illegal. It’s also unfair, deceptive, and a waste of everyone’s time.
