In modern society, job search is no longer as dependent on the talent market or recommendations from relatives and friends as it used to be. With the development of the Internet, more and more people choose to look for jobs through recruitment websites, and simply submit their resumes online to have the opportunity to be contacted by the HR of their favorite companies. However, when using these recruitment websites, many people find a common phenomenon: the salary in the recruitment advertisement often shows more than 10,000 yuan, but when they actually apply for the job, they find that the actual income is far lower than expected, only about 3,000 yuan. What is the reason behind this phenomenon? Let's take a look at the views of some post-90s professionals.
Netizen 1: Eye-catching strategies
One netizen believes that this phenomenon has almost become an "unspoken rule" in the recruitment industry. In order to attract more job seekers, companies will falsely state salary levels in job advertisements. If the salary advertised is too low, no one will be willing to submit their resume at all. Although this practice is somewhat deceptive, the end result is that some of the candidates attracted in this way will still choose to join the company.
Netizen 2: The usual trick of the sales industry
Another netizen shared his own personal experience. When he first graduated, he saw many positions with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan on the recruitment website, and his heart was full of expectations. However, after he went to apply, he found that most of the so-called high-paying positions were concentrated in the sales industry, the basic salary was extremely low, and the so-called "monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan" was only the income that employees with particularly good sales performance could achieve. The high salary in the job advertisement is just to attract new people to join the company, and the actual income is seriously inconsistent with the advertisement.
Netizen 3: Waste of time
Another netizen said that he had also been deceived by this false salary information. He carefully selected several companies with salaries of more than 10,000 yuan on the recruitment website, and applied for them with hope, only to find that these companies were unknown small companies, and the actual salaries were not at the level advertised. For new job seekers, this experience may be a learning opportunity, but for veteran employees with a lot of work experience, this kind of interview is a complete waste of time for both parties.
In fact, there are many reasons behind the phenomenon of inflating salaries on job boards. First of all, companies have to inflate salary packages in order to attract more job seekers. In particular, some small companies are not well-known, and the working environment and benefits are not competitive, so they can only rely on false salaries to attract attention.
Secondly, many companies will set a wide salary range when recruiting, such as "3000-10000 yuan", but after the actual entry, there are very few people who can get a high salary, and only those employees who have outstanding sales performance or have been in the company for many years can get a higher salary.
Finally, there are certain regulatory loopholes in the job boards themselves. Although some job boards will review the job postings posted by companies, they cannot completely eliminate the existence of false information. This has also led to a huge gap between the salary package in the actual application process and the salary package in the job advertisement.
