Now that these laws are passing, HR will have incentives to correct this kind of situations. It might be as simple as having one job posting with pay bands associate with levels. So having a single job posting with Levels 1,2,3,... and the expectations/salary bands for each. That way, candidates asking for top-of-band should expect to be interviewed at the appropriate level.

I feel like a lot of companies already do this: interview candidates, then grade them at a specific level based on their performance.
