That can happen if the company doesn't keep up with the market on salary increases. Generally speaking, the longer you stay with an employer, the more you are missing out with regards to earnings potential. Many new hires will come in higher than existing talent as that is what the market now dictates. It's why so many can get 20% or even up to 50% more money when they move to a new company.
Wage disparities can definitely pop up when hiring new talent especially in a fast-moving market. I would say staying transparent about the process without sharing actual numbers. When people understand HOW pay decisions are made, it builds trust. We regularly review internal equity for this reason so we're not just competitive externally but also fair internally. If something feels out of alignment, I bring it forward early so we can correct before it becomes a bigger issue. If someone isn't where they want to be today, helping them understand what skills or milestones move them up the range can make a difference.
