Recruitment advertisements that include salary information are more likely to garner responses than those that don’t.

This is one of the conclusions that CareerJunction has reached from analysing online recruitment trends.

The company conducted an analysis of 1 000 online job advertisements that included salary details compared to 1 000 that didn’t – and found significant differences between the two groups.

On average, online job advertisements that included salary information received a whopping 41% more applications compared to those without any salary indications.

Job advertisements that included salary information also received 39% more contact requests (and applications) compared to those without salary information.
