How much does salary range affect my job visibility?

When you set your job’s salary range on Get on Board, it affects how candidates respond to the posting and how well the job performs in search results.

How it affects visibility in practice

1. Candidate interest: clear and competitive ranges usually attract more aligned applicants.
2. Posting quality signals: when salary is far below market, you may see warnings and weaker traction.
3. Overall positioning: salary works together with other signals such as recency, filters, and visibility tools.

What not to assume

• The exact ranking formula is not public.
• Raising salary alone does not guarantee more applications.
• Outcomes also depend on seniority, role clarity, work mode, and category competition.

How to use this signal

• Set a realistic range for the role and seniority.
• Review low-salary warnings and adjust when needed.
• Evaluate salary together with overall attractiveness and positioning.
