There are 2 problems with your proposed solution.

a) Salary is rarely disclosed in a job posting. Salary negotiations usually happen after a candidate was interviewed and deemed worth hiring.

b) Even if you were to disclose a salary in a job post, an unusually high salary might make it easier to find a qualified programmer (because more people will apply) but it is not likely to increase an average quality of submitted resume, so you'll still have to look at 200 resumes to find 1 good candidate.



I believe Rethinkdb did post their salary range and stock option at one point.


Yes, at http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/. It's quite public.
