Sorry, you have to pass multiple rounds of interviews and get approved for the job before we tell you, which is not wasting anyone's time when you find out it's substantially less than you'll accept. Why can't we find people to fill this position? No one wants to work anymore.
It's weird that there's some jurisdictions where employers don't have to list the salary range in the job listing, or upon request from an applicant before an interview. It doesn't make sense to have to do interviews only to find out that you'd be massively underpaid.
I think at least New York now requires jobs to post a range. I haven't even seen bullshit like "$50k - $500k" - maybe the law was written strongly enough that they can't loophole it that way.
Doesn't it cost them money to interview people? What a way to waste time
Yes but if they do find a poor shmuck that wants the job, they can hope he'll undervalue himself and ask for even less.
Well, the one posting the job and hiding the salary info is also probably being paid by the number of interviews they do.
