I'm dealing with this now. We pay low end of the market as a policy because of the nature of our business. We lure employees with "good vibes" of a positive mission and a low stress environment. After a rough year we've had to freeze raises in the face a a feeding frenzy for talent. Hiring is still done at market rates but retention is locked in to the low end of the 2018 market. I'm stuck pleading to HR that if we don't give out best people at least another 10% we'll be spending +25% on a backfill.
