I think it's a good idea to put what your top wages would be if u r looking for highly skilled climbers. A larger number seems to entice the more skilled guys to at least apply or check out your operation. Also maybe a skilled worker is not happy at their current job, the "bigger" number may entice them to contact u. If they didn't see the wage, they may not have even made the effort. Also the less experienced guys will see the "bigger" number and want to come work hoping to one day get paid that much.

Also, I feel many employers want to see who you are, and what your skill set truly is, before they talk money. I applied for a job this winter with a company. Ad said above industry pay. Never gave a price. I took a day off from work, went and met the owner, and we talked for a long time about trees, equipment, and the industry. It became very apparent to me that I had many more skills and experience and certification than he had. When it came time to talk about money. He wanted to offer me 17 dollars an hour. 12 years ago I made 22 dollars an hour straight out of college. Wish he had put that his above industry pay was 17 dollars in his ad, I wouldn't of waisted my time.
Also, sometimes a really skilled climber and arborist needs a job. So they are willing to work for less. If a company hiring can catch that vibe, they might get a good guy for cheap. Could be the other way around too sometimes.

We put on our ad "guaranteed pay at least THIS MUCH."

Regardless of the number, it shows that you're serious and won't jerk them around and make them waste a day of work like Royce!

If they aren't good enough to be worth that price; then I just won't hire them. Easy as that. If they are better, I'll pay more.
