On LinkedIn, when approached, and I am approached very often: My very first question is: "What is the compensation range for this position?" And if it is below what I am seeking, I say "Thank you for making me aware of this opportunity. At the compensation range you stated it is a hard pass from me. If you can come back with a realistic number I might be open to a discussion. Good luck in your continuing candidate search." Or if they ask me what I want, I say: "I'm currently making $230k base. Can you come up with a number higher than that which would convince me to move from a job I am happy with?" It quickly removes the time wasters and the starry eyed dreamers and the cheap skates, and the people who are serious, then we have a conversation and see where it leads. And I have plenty of conversations every month. Yes, it's effective. It's a business negotiation, and the person on the other side of the conversation either understands that inherently or is trying to convince me that my labour is worth less.
