It looks like it was built by an Aussie developer. .com doesn't always mean US, you need ABN or trademark to use .com.au.
Just had a look - it'd be accurate, but would depend on whoever has created the job listing… when you create a listing you need to put the salary range… which can then be used when searching for jobs, even if the ad itself doesn't specifically show / specify this. The above website is just extracting this data from the listing you paste into it.
It's no different to searching for the specific job, then adjusting the filters on the search until the job listing no longer shows - you then know the salary is outside of the filters you've applied.
never understood jobs ads that didnt have the salary in the ad
i mean wtf do you think ppl are going to work for you for…
Me too. Only thing I can think of is that they have a range, and they want to see what the interviewee asks for. Hoping they ask for something at the lower end, then, bonus for employer.
Rarely in my professional experience to appropriately qualified candidates … or even those with barely relevant qualifications … ask for something at the lower end.
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

There's a belief in manager circles that the sunken cost fallacy will compel candidates to take whatever offers they can get after being worn down through multiple interviews.
It's funny, they demand to know what salary expectations you are after at start of interview and some companies absolutely refuse to provide the budget for the position saying it's confidential.
At least this Labor government allowed discussion of salaries. Hope they go all Colorado soon too.
Protip: If you're getting burnt by companies with the sunken fallacy BS. Demand to know the budget range for the position in the first interview or walk.

doesn't everyone do this….bar when i was fresh out of uni and just wanted some experience i have literally always 'asked' what the salary is or had a rough idea walking into an interview
ill add this almost 2/3rd workers are under some form of enterprise agreements in Australia it mean if they are paying you on an 'agreement' it should be law to link that agreement in the ad - at the very least you could match up the job ads description with the band you would probably expect
i can understad of ultra high paying jobs CEO, CFO etc it would very much be a negotiation/performance base renumeration but anyone earning under 250k a year should know or have a good idea what they are getting before they sit an interview
the other thing that i reckon would annoy me is if the 'remuneration' was inclusive of super but this was not disclosed in the ad - got a few commerce graduate friends and they all discuss there salary inclusive of super as that is the way it is advertised…
Nope, some people get depressed and stay in their jobs or take it on the chin and accept offer or keep looking.
Whoever makes the first offer is at a disadvantage in negotiations. "Oh no no no, that's way too low/high, let me tell you the number that will work for me/us".
A recruitment agent will always have the salary range when the client engages them. So if you are contacted by one or go through one, you might just clarify that upfront before wasting your and the agent's time.
In addition, if the job interview requires you to do a "homework" or a test. Tell them upfront you want to know the range before going through the exercise.
Exactly, the salary range is already set, so it shouldn't be an issue for an applicant to ask for this at the start of the conversation.
If you are after IT jobs, you can check at peopleai.com.au to get an idea of how much you should get based on role/ skill
Isn't that a US site?
