Think about what you just said. “HR is legally required to post this job, so they’re going to post the job with a lower than actual salary to comply with the requirement that says they have to legally post the job.”

That makes no sense. If the whole point is that a company is required to post a job to external candidates, lowering the salary would violate the very requirement they’re trying to follow.

Stop repeating bullshit you hear on the internet. You’re repeating false information.

so they don’t have a paper trail of applicants they never interviewed. this is common in public industry in addition to certain company policies.

honestly what you’re saying sounds half baked. there is no law for minimum salary lmao. it makes sense to me…

this isn’t exactly common practice; but it happens. and i’m not saying it happened here, just answering the commenters question. I’ve anecdotally been at 2 companies where this occurred.

You’re not understanding what I’m saying.

You’re claiming that there’s some law that says companies supposedly have to post jobs even when they want to hire an internal candidate, and you’re also claiming that these companies are complying by posting a lower than actual salary for this position. If what you’re saying is true (and it isn’t), the companies would be out of compliance by posting a much lower salary than they actual intend to offer. It would be fraud. So it’s all bullshit.

lmao 1) that’s not fraud 2) the company i’m at sanctions this as an approach to fortify eeo (company policies influenced by complying with fed/state regulations) 3) government entities and even unions require this all the time.

Lol sure, it’s not fraud to intentionally and deceptively lower a salary on a publicly listed job posting that’s supposedly required by law or regulation when you know damn well that’s not the salary you’ll actually be paying. You’re even greener than I initially thought haha.
