Announcement: Salary Ranges Now on the Job BankMay 11, 2021 As part of the Cultural Alliance’s ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance is pleased to announce that we have updated our Job Bank to include salary and hourly rates in job postings. This decision is a step to help address pay gaps and inequity in the cultural sector. The Cultural Alliance Job Bank is the Greater Philadelphia region’s creative employment site, which is highly valued by both prospective employees and prospective employers. In just the last five years more than 650 organizations have posted jobs on the Job Bank. Beginning this week, when posting or updating a job opening, there will be fields for employers to add salary/hourly rate information. From now through June 30, these fields will be optional. Beginning on July 1, salary/hourly rate information will be required. Job posters will be prompted to enter both a minimum and maximum compensation amount. Updating the Job Bank to require organizations to include salary and hourly rates benefits both employees and employers. Publishing salaries also provides transparency about a position’s value to an organization, regardless of an applicant’s identity and means. Through this transparency, job seekers can better assess an opportunity before investing their time and effort into pursuing it. Employers benefit from expediting the hiring process, receiving over 30% more applications from stronger candidates who are also likely to be more informed. This paves the way for stronger communication between employers and employees from the start. Additionally, the Cultural Alliance, with support from the Philadelphia Foundation, is unveiling its new Equitable Workforce Resource Bank to provide access to best practices in equitable hiring for employers in the cultural sector. Organized by stages in the employment process, this page addresses creating job posts, conducting candidate review and employee retention as well as providing references for further resources and expert support. We look forward to continued collaboration with all Job Bank users and to finding more ways we can support a fair and just cultural sector.
