In a significant shift for Indian job postings, salary transparency is becoming increasingly common. A recent report by global job site Indeed reveals that more than half of job listings now include salary information, a substantial increase from just 26% in early 2022.

This trend is propelled by job seekers demanding clarity and fairness, aiming to make informed career decisions. "Transparency is the new currency for attracting top talent," said Sashi Kumar, Indeed India Head of Sales, emphasizing the growing importance of this practice in competitive markets.

Remote and hybrid job listings are leading this transparency push, with pay details becoming crucial for engaging qualified candidates from varied geographies. Yet, senior leadership roles remain least transparent, while junior and mid-level positions show higher disclosure rates, streamlining the hiring process for employers.
