Recruiters if you post a salary range and then low ball the candidate offering the lowest in the range ? Why do you that? We certainly can see you have more room to offer more ? It’s discouraging to lowball

The posted ranges are dictated by the company — they purposely make ranges large so you can’t really figure out what the true budgeted comp is. Recruiters hate this just as much as everyone else. The true budgeted comp usually (but not always) falls in the middle of the posted comp range — as a guideline only!

When you interview, you should ask what the BUDGETED comp is for role, don’t wait until you’ve wasted your time on 10 interviews and then receive an offer way below your value.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. That's really great advice!

I'm oftentimes harsh on recruiters, but I do believe there are times when they, too, are blindsided by the greedy people who budget these roles. I can see a scenario when they are given the exact numbers that they post in the ad only to be told by those greedy people that they're not willing to spend that much, which leads me to believe that those greedy people intentionally set those recruiters up to lower people with top-tier experience for a cut rate.

Sometimes there are budget constraints or internal policies that dictate where an offer falls within the posted range. And yeah it's not always fair or ideal from the candidate's perspective.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
