Hey recruiters,

If a candidate asks you the salary range for the position you're discussing, don't laugh at them and say "We don't give that information out."

It's not a good look.

It’s my understanding they legally have to share that information in California and New York as of the beginning of 2018. And can’t ask what you’re currently earning either...

I’d love to hear the agency recruiter’s response if a creative said, “well legally you have to share the position’s salary.”

I don't think I'll ever understand this way of thinking from recruiters/companies. Depending on what you're offering salary-wise this conversation could be over very quickly, but instead, you're going to possibly waste everyone's time?

Many thanks.
