Salary Pitfalls: Disagreements cause applications to fail
Applicants, on the other hand, would like companies to provide clear information on salary. 6 in 10 (59 percent) have already turned down an application for a suitable position because no information on salary was available – 14 percent more than in 2022. 86 percent would welcome it if companies in Germany were to disclose salaries as a general rule. Every second company is working on more transparent salary measures Meanwhile, recruiters still see room for improvement within their own organisations when it comes to salary transparency: according to the Stepstone survey, 47% of companies have not yet planned any initiatives to deal more openly with the topic of salary. 17 percent want to introduce clearer and more transparent salary guidelines, while 16 percent guarantee equal pay for equal work regardless of gender and origin, and 15 percent ensure that remuneration structures are continuously reviewed or updated. Only 15 percent say they publish salary ranges for each position. “Companies that position themselves well when it comes to salary transparency and back up their words with actions meet applicants at eye level and help them make the best possible decision,” emphasizes Dr. Tobias Zimmermann, labor market expert at The Stepstone Group. “And that’s not all: it helps them to find more applicants in times of great labor shortage, to keep the application process leaner and more transparent and to retain staff in the long term. Salary is and will remain one of the key decision-making factors when looking for a job and is becoming even more important due to inflation and the new balance of power on the labor market,” says Zimmermann.
