Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

Does anyone in your company know you're looking? Sometimes you can have a lot of luck with your internal network. Someone might know someone from a previous job that is looking, etc...

They do but there is a referral bonus involved so not really much incentive for a coworker to send me an applicant instead of going straight to HR. I’d like to screen them before giving a recommendation
Use one of the online tools, such as indeed or LI. Worth the money, depending on your company’s situation. You’ll be sorting through resumes and learning a lot about what to look for, but you can give the hiring manager access on indeed, giving them the first look to sort through the immediate “no” list. You can set up interviews, send a “no thanks message,” and the hiring manager can take a lot of the burden off of you.
I swear, I don’t work for either of these companies.😆 I just like automation in hiring because recruiting (sourcing) isn’t my thing. I don’t enjoy it.
The big recruiting firms are great, too. As an hr leader, I don’t enjoy being in the weeds, and they do everything for us. I was sourced and screened by Robert Half.
to be honest, my advice is to use a recruiter;
it's much easier to be the final say so then the gatherer of options, you don't pay them unless they produce and
it's actually harder to fill roles when there is a dearth of candidates on the market but it's basically math - how much is it costing you to have these roles open?
That lets you know if recruiters ultimately worth it
Spend $500 upfront on LinkedIn and maybe not get anyone good or get too many people and then it becomes a whole job in and of itself
