On this episode of The Traveling Introvert, I discusses the importance of transparency in job postings, pricing, and service offerings. It all started when I came across a private post from someone looking for guests on their podcast without disclosing that it was a paid opportunity. I believe transparency shows respect for people's time and leads to better client and job-seeking experiences. I also dive into the issue of complicated job application processes and the lack of information disclosed to job seekers.


Topic: Posting Salaries on Job Listings and Costs on Service Provider Websites

- Job seekers want salaries to be listed on job postings; service seekers want costs to be listed on a service provider's website

- This shows respect for people's time and helps them make decisions

- Making the process easy helps waste nobody's time, giving a good overall client experience

- The aim of the game is to give a good client or potential job seeker experience

- Lack of transparency wastes time and causes frustration


Topic: Hiring Process Efficiency and Transparency

- The hiring process should be efficient and respectful

- Complicated interview processes and lack of important information can be seen as abuse towards job seekers

- Posting salary with job description and posting shows respect for potential candidates' time and is a valuable resource

- Transparency in pricing and salary establishes trust and eliminates ambiguity, leading to efficient decision making

- Transparent pricing can lead to better fit between job seekers and employers/clients
