Most people I know who would be good for this job would never apply without some hint of a salary range.

Nothing worse than wasting everyone’s time and ending up not even close.

It needs to be more than education. For instance, I know a county that subsidizes nursing school. But the nurses are paid a terrible salary and many leave to work in higher paying countries.

If they would just pay their nurses more, they wouldn’t need to subsidize the education and maybe skilled people would stay.
