If you can get that type of information, why not. It could only help for a more accurate comparison.

  all right (just to be clear I have nothing to do with the spreadsheet.) I was actually thinking that this could be a sort-of 'standing offer' from people as well. I mean hiring would certainly be a lot easier if everyone on linkedin had their price that you could probably immediately get them for! This is just particularly true in the tech industry, which is prone to delirious investor-fueled bubbles on the one hand, but in which, on the other hand, employees really can generate a few million dollars worth of value over a weekend. (For example, by refining a checkout recommendation for related items, that one refinement could objectively result in an extra $million in sales through that exact mechanism.) So I think the ability to actually reach workers at their jump-ship price (as opposed to just anonymously asking them for it, without any possibility for follow-up) could be a net benefit to employees. Good tech workers are extremely scarce.
