I’m currently in the job market and just finished a recruiter call at an agency based in LA, is it normal for the recruiter to not share what the salary range is for the role? I asked twice, kind of got the run around. When I asked a 3rd time, she said the hiring manager will determine that if they decide to move me along. Also no project information or client names were discussed since I would have to sign an NDA.

The call was just a few basic q’s, including what I look for in a manager.

That seems odd. When I’m working with a recruiter I always let them tell me what the rate is - most of the time there is no room for negotiation. They never withhold that info either.

Had a very similar experience @OP. It’s odd (and seems rare) when they won’t talk about their range for salary upfront. Wastes everyone’s time doing interviews if it’s known the salary won’t line up.

I’d provide a range you’d be comfortable accepting, say you completely understand if that’s not what the role is offering, but you don’t want to waste anyone’s time interviewing if your needs can’t be met.

I will say that there are times that I’m willing to fight for a higher salary than initially scoped because the candidate is awesome. Also times that I’ll pass initially on a candidate because their range is too high.

Not discounting that some recruiters are terrible, especially when they’re new to a department.

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two. And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …
