Candidates often have high expectations regarding salary, benefits, and growth opportunities that are difficult to meet within our budget. How do you align these high candidate expectations with the resources available at your company?

Lower your standard if the best you can offer is mediocre benefits and salary. High value candidates want to be paid what they are worth. Get a less experienced, trainable go getter that's hungry for the opportunity

It's like the dating world if you look like Jack Black don't expect Gigi Hadid level women to seek you out. She expects to date Bradley Cooper level men.

lol, yeah….In other news. As I am in HR, I highly doubt I’m going to actually say this out loud to anyone in a serious manner. But, if you believe that…kudos for understanding what a joke is.

Do NOT written or verbally make anything that could be construed legally as a promise of promotion, salary increase, etc. Research total compensation programs, and review your policies. What incentives can you offer ? Does your org have other orgs as partners, that you could "share" incentives? Or offer cross- training?

State what you can offer from the outset, ideally in the job posting itself or during the first call.

Yes, that may lead to less applicants, but your ultimate goal is to hire someone - not interview a bunch of ‘superstars’ that will inevitably turn you down.

Being straightforward on the job posting can help mitigate unrealistic expectations and also save you time when interviewing candidates

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co.

I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
