Yesterday, there was a post on this website about indicating salary ranges in each job posting. On the surface, the author advocates that posting the salary range will weed out the number of responses.
I say that the opposite will occur. More underqualified people will apply for the role, further making an already inefficient and ineffective process worse. Hiring managers already receive far too many unqualified applicants that they review. If you think the answer is the applicant tracking systems (ATS), think again - the ATS systems (100+ in use across the USA) are filled with bugs and because of format issues and lack of standardization, many good candidates get eliminated from consideration.
Controversial solution - pay to submit your resume using any of the available micropayment systems. Those that get chosen for screening get their $$ back. Those that get interviewed get a reward and those that accept an offer get a 'BONUS" or their "winning" get donated to a charity.
My goal of posting this is to find a way to make this process more efficient for everyone. I may not have the perfect answer but this proposal will lead to less numbers but better candidates and a more efficient experience for the hiring manager and candidate.
Thoughts? Don't be shy. Chime in. Tear apart the idea or support it. I really do want to read your thoughts.
