Very very true. But they put it there to benefit themselves, not the applicant.
It sucks, but if they try to use your salary history to lowball you, that's when you negotiate. I'd just explain I felt I was previously underpaid and that the offer is too low. Of course, then you run the risk of not getting the job at all.
- noodle 16y agoi understand the purpose, of course. but if i were job hunting, unless there were something special about a particular job, i wouldn't even bother to negotiate with them if they low-balled me. i'd just move on. and thus, the employer loses out on talent unless they're providing something special on their own. its more lose-lose. of course, unless you're not looking for talent, and you're looking for someone who would be okay with taking a job under market.
