Before applying for a tech role, I usually pay attention to how a company describes its hiring process. When a job posting emphasizes merit based hiring and equal opportunity, it gives me confidence that skills, experience, and qualifications are meant to take priority. Clear hiring principles also set expectations for a fair and transparent recruitment process.
How much does a company's stated hiring philosophy influence your decision to apply?

Every company has sound hiring principles on paper, but favoritism and biases still exist. I personally focus on the job requirements and description of the day to day work to decide what to apply for. Never in the history of employment has someone had identical offers to compare, and documented hiring philosophy influenced the choice.

What are you even on about? I never seen a job describe their hiring practices in a way that would raise pause.

Can you give us an example of what you are talking about?

I focus on the job itself but if I was in a position where I received multiple offers at the same time it would definitely impact my decision.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
