Probably the wrong place to post. Has anyone experienced this below?

Firstly, thank you for your time and interest in WPP Production and in the Resource Manager [ 6 months FTC Mat Cover] position. ​
​Unfortunately, we have a set budget for this position, and we believe your salary expectations do not match. Therefore, we regret to inform you that you were not selected at this time.

Rejected because my salary expectation was high. They didn’t see fit to ask to negotiate?

That’s tough man. Going through a rough situation as well. I personally never put a dollar value on pay expectation. I just put negotiable, but you would think they would discuss it with you. I try to look at it as a blessing, because do I really want to work in that kind of culture. The overqualified line is what frustrates me the most. Best of luck.

I hear ya.

If what you listed for salary was much higher than their range their is no point in negotiating. Move on and look somewhere else.

True. In this case there was nothing listed on the job. No pay range or talk about budget. There was nothing listed field on application to even mention you have room to be flexible.

Some don’t list it unfortunately so it’s sometimes a waste of time to apply and we don’t know it.

The harsh truth is that many times they just won't bother if they have a decent candidate pipeline.

Additional Posts in Interview Tips

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I applied for a position through a recruiter and made it through the interview rounds with the actual company and received a verbal offer, but haven’t heard back since. Am I able to reach out directly to HR for updates or does all communication have to be filtered through the recruiter?
