the recruiter needs it because he needs to know if you're bother going to say yes to an offer. His/Her job is to help broker the gap between you and the organization. They do need to know.
I'm sure google finds out about salary levels by simply making offers and recording rejections. It also probably means they are more open to negotiation than other organizations because they have fewer data points.
The post actually seems very very authentic to me, as cynical as I am about the process. My guess is they put their money where their mouth is on this one.
- Chris2048 10y agoIt's common for a company to pay less/more depending on the candidate, ie DOE It's not common for a candidate to accept less/more depending on the job. As such, it seems more reasonable for the recruiter to state a range "$X-$Y" that they'd pay. No one can assume they'd pay $Y, because there no stated criteria for which level of experience they'd pay that much for. On the other hand, a candidate that specifies "$X-$Y" will likely get an offer of $X, because they've stated they'd be willing to go that low. Another way of stating this is - a candidate only has one product to sell. There's no expectation of getting more for paying more.

- Chris2048 10y ago> the recruiter needs it because he needs to know if you're bother going to say yes to an offer Recruiters usually have roles to fill, rather than candidates they are trying to find roles for. They can give a range to a candidate, and ask if they'd be interested. They don't need to be given a number.
