At Zenith People, we’ve always believed that openness builds trust. That’s why we continue to share clear job, salary, and work details in every role we advertise. We know how important it is for candidates to have full visibility when making career decisions, and we’re proud to stand by that principle, even as others move in the opposite direction.
A Step Backward for Transparency
Recent data from Indeed shows a concerning trend:
Just 56% of UK job listings in August included salary details — down from 65% a year earlier.
In a cooling economy, some employers are choosing to withhold pay information to keep more negotiating power. But this approach can damage trust and discourage talented candidates from even applying.
Why We Share What Others Don’t
At Zenith People, we believe clarity benefits everyone:
- Jobseekers can make informed choices and avoid wasting time on roles that don’t align with their expectations.
- Employers attract candidates who are genuinely interested and well-matched to the role.
- Teams thrive when transparency and fairness are part of the culture from day one.
Gen Z Is Changing the Game
Research shows that 58% of Gen Z candidates won’t apply for jobs without listed pay. This generation values honesty and equity – and they’re not afraid to walk away from companies that don’t share those values. Employers who hide pay details risk losing out on the very talent that will define the future workforce.
Our Commitment
While UK employers still tend to be more transparent than those in the US, the backward slide on salary sharing is worrying. At Zenith People, we’re doubling down on transparency – not pulling back. Because we believe that open conversations about pay lead to stronger relationships, fairer outcomes, and workplaces where everyone feels respected and valued.
We are Zenith People, and we’ll always share job, salary, and work details openly.
