If it really wasn't about offering candidates the absolute minimum you have to (low balling them), why not just make your hiring budget known, hell make it part of your advertisement, this way candidates who are more expensive won't waste your time because they won't even apply.
- brianwawok 10y agoIf he just advertises his budget is 100k... The guy he could have hired for 70k gets hired at 100k. That's wasted 30k to the company. Do that for many roles and your company is now out of business.
- crdoconnor 10y agoYou're essentially agreeing that the point is to lowball the candidate.
- brianwawok 10y agoYa exactly. As the person owning the business, the less you pay your staff the bigger your paycheck. Its direct 1:1 for a private company. As a person being a employee, you want to make the most you can. The goals are directly competing, hence the classic struggle. Always going to be some give and take.
- crdoconnor 10y agoIn practice not every employer is like this and the ones that are tend to engender resentment, shoddy workmanship and a high turnover of skilled employees and a low turnover of useless employees without options. There's value in being explicitly fair and upfront about compensation.
