> it is valuable to me that my company will not hire someone who doesn't think our business does something important Is it not possible to identify those people without paying them less to prove it? I'm not really sure what you're getting at here otherwise I would think if someone is a perfect fit with the org and the org isn't willing to compensate that person accordingly then all you're doing is picking up suckers who may not even be worth the reduced pay rate. A good engineer knows what they are worth.
