Are you paying market rates? If so, how are you calculating market rates? Also, if you are paying market rates, why would you expect anyone really talented to select your company over all the other ones that pay market rates? (I'm not trying to be snide).
- sokoloff 9y agoI believe so and this guy was just an outlier dud who BS'd his way to an on-site round. Fresh college hires are making 6-figures and it goes up from there, quickly. We use an HR market data firm to inform our hiring managers, but if you spend enough time in the market, you get to learn when you're never losing a candidate over comp or when you're frequently losing them over comp or getting strong counter proposals. I trust the intel we get from the candidates and market over what we get from the HR research company. (Boston market.)
- Clubber 9y agoIt sounds like you are doing it right. I only personally know two really good people. One is my mentor, the other I made my business partner. Good luck.
- deathanatos 9y agoAs an engineer, I do the interviewing, but I have no insight into salary details. I have no idea what my coworkers are paid, were hired for, how much this candidate thinks he is worth or is asking, or what we've promised or advertised through recruiters, etc.
