Glad to see this is prompting some discussion! Dan -
Asking candidates for their current salary is prohibited in San Francisco > as of July 2018 [1] which means that, as a San Francisco based > organisation, the Foundation will undoubtedly not be doing this. > Very glad to hear it! > > There are some complexities in disclosing salary ranges for the Foundation. > One practice that can be used for encouraging diversity in candidate > applications is to specify that a position is open to candidates with a > wide range of experience and in all locations in the world, in which case > the salary range posted will be so large that it will basically be > meaningless. That's a fair point. Though it would be possible for the WMF to be clearer about this - if a post is advertised but it could end up at several different pay scales based on how senior a post it ends up being, that could be noted. And the method by which salary for non-SF-based roles is calculated could also be explained... "On our US Office scale this role would pay $50-60k, but as candidates could be appointed anywhere in the world we adjust salaries based on the cost of living where you are located". I'm guessing the WMF has developed a systematic method of doing this somehow.
