I’m trying to hire two roles and am really struggling with candidates asking for way more than I’d be prepared to pay for their experience and skill set, yet feel held over a barrel due to the climate. Anyone else having the same issues?

The market is brutal! We are having candidates demand £5-10k over what they’d normally get

The only perhaps good thing is the market will snap back and if you bring someone in on a higher salary hopefully you will be more longevity out of them, as they are unlikely to be able to move for a massive increase again anytime soon!

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done.

Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?

Biz owners/entrepreneurs: Any tips on how to answer questions where the interviewer would want to know why I’d want to work for a company if I have my own. I’d want to reassure them that I have no intentions of leaving their company for mine or that there wouldn’t be competing priorities between us. I have a small photography biz. When this came up in an interview how did you address it? On my resume it does show that I’m currently a photographer w/ my own biz. I was selected for an interview.
