Most of the times it’s a company policy. As a hiring manager i never knew the salary of the open positions i was filling, only hr snd c-levels did.
Since my last job, asking the salary range is my first question in recruiter dms and generic emails. My current company was super open to reveal salary range on the first email, and i really appreciated it and eventually accepted the offer. People should demand transparrency.
another motivation is that companies don’t often want other employees knowing how much the new hire could be making, then realizing they haven’t had a raise in awhile. or that they didn’t negotiate nearly enough when they got hired.
