Why on earth do agents not put salaries in job adverts?

Thats cos I is a permie

When I was a permie the salary element of job adverts was what attracted my attention.

Saw a role advertised a while back, which was difficult to gauge in terms of level (junior, mid, senior) from the description itself - and no salary was listed was listed either.

This isn't too unusual, but when I called up the agent, they said that the client were being very non specific about the level required. They simply wanted CV's and a salary expectation. No indication of what kind of person they were looking for - just a list of technologies used.

I just told the agent 100K - surprise, surprise, I didn't hear anything, but they sounded like a right bunch of muppets anyway, so no loss there.

Salary is not the prime driver for a "permanent" role.

If you want the job and the employer wants you then you'll find the relevant accomodations can/will be made.
