I don't fully agree with this. (I am an inhouse recruiter). When salary is discussed before an actual offer, it's to make sure the candidate and the company are in the same ballpark. I never ask for a precise number, and im happy the share the likely range that my employer pays for position X. It's just such a waste of time if at offer stage we find out we can afford you.
- stakkur 6y agoI've heard this exact response in interviews--we want to know if we're 'in the ballpark' so we don't 'waste time', which is another way of saying either 'this is our budget' or ' we don't want to pay more than this'. Everything I said still applies to how I'd respond.
