I usually respond to this question with a question of my own:
"Are you asking this question because you don't have faith in your own ability to interview and value employees or because you are trying to lowball me?"
- snarf21 10y agoI understand what you are saying but I personally don't think any amount of interviewing will ever tell me exactly how much value an employee will give me in the next year. [Serious] Do you think this is possible? I can think of no way except to put them on a 3 month contract to see what they are really worth and I don't think that is what candidates are looking for.
- crdoconnor 10y agoYes, I got this from what you said: "Some people may come in with a lower ask but then you have yourself, are they a bargain or are they just less talented?" shrug I have faith in my interviewing skills. I was interviewing for a position for about 5 months for a very picky employer. I interviewed a lot of people who were good but expensive and even more who were cheap but not so good. Eventually I spotted a bargain and they snapped him up. I don't really believe in bargains though. It takes a lot of time and effort to find one and they tend to leave quickly once they've figured out that they underpriced themselves. Most places I've worked I've done so initially on a short term contract. I prefer it mainly because I can charge more.
