On the hiring side here.
Who hires / works like this?
"I'll be happy to iterate on what I need when I get an offer"!! I'd move along politely at this point. Reality is, our best hires have approached us even when no job posted - but know what we do. They don't seem to care about salary - and I'm eager to give big raises fast to keep them - 15-20%+ at 6 mo, 15-20% at 12 months + bonus. The market is tight at this point and managers want to keep staff.
Thankfully not doing tech hires, if this article is the way these guys work - I'm grateful not to have to hire in that space.
My life is more boring. screening resumes, only 40% of which are minimally qualified. Quick phone screens after two of us go through the stack (we use an online tool to manage this). What are salary expectation is a question in that first call. I'm happy to share ranges with folks as well. Saves us all time to chat this out early - and I find I enjoy working with people who can talk about money in a rational manner.
- sametmax 8y agoHow can you talk about salary if you don't know the job ? I certainly won't negociate the same money for a start up, a big co, a remote work, a borring one, one with hard challenges, one with long hours, one with benefits, location, travelling, fancy clients, bonuses, shared values, etc. After a first call, I won't know remotly what I need to know what to negociate for, and giving any price is most probably setting wrong expectations that will be very hard to come back from later. It seems lose-lose to me. Besides, i have several offers at the same time. I put my recruiters in competition.
