I posted this elsewhere in this thread but it applies here as well: The way the Colorado law is written there is nothing wrong with posting what you think the salary range is and then actually hiring someone outside of that range _if you can justify it_. Someone didn't meet a required skill in the posting, feel free to offer them less. Someone is severely overqualified for the position you posted but you still want them, feel free to pay them more.

It also only applies to companies with at least one employee in Colorado.
