When looking at a job role and the salary band, recruiters and HR specialists, say that band is 80 K to 130 K and that’s all it lists. Should I assume that is the total pay band to include benefits or should I assume that is the base salary band?

Base salary.

Salary only, benefits are extra. But, if a company offers really good benefits and perks, they may be at the expense of salary.

That's base salary. Nobody does a breakdown of benefits costs and adds that into the salary band... It's a weird concept, but honestly maybe worth considering for an employer to do so that everyone has a real understanding of how much an employee is truly being compensated. One of the biggest frustrations I had as an owner of a small business was having employees constantly asking for raises outside of what was financially responsible of me to approve. Employees tend to lack awareness of exactly how much their benefits cost an employer.

One other thing occurred to me today, as HR professionals are you hiring for candidates actually posting on your website or sending you an easy apply through LinkedIn or some other method?

This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
