Assuming a firm does not match or rematch the DPW rates. Does this strongly influence candidates preferences to work for a particular firm or when comparing two job offers? In a candidate driven market, curious whether the salary wars have much of a bearing!

The whole reason all these firms stick to the same salary scale is to remove the salary question from the equation - otherwise the candidates’ criteria for firms become very simple: first, who pays more, then anything else a firm may have to offer. A firm that fails to match essentially removes themselves from the competition for top talent.

Yes. If a firm doesn’t pay the same salary as its peers, it better have other attractive benefits. I’d take a pay cut for lower hours (both required and expected) and better work-life balance, and that’s about it.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
