This is pretty consistent with communication most people get from recruiters: tell me your salary so we can know what you are worth. Back home I have a few screenshots of LinkedIn messages that opened conversations asking for screenshots of pay slips so they could verify. Not suggesting I agree with the practice of course.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoYou don't have to comply with their request. If it's for a company you're interested in, you can say no while also being polite, i.e. "Let's not worry about compensation until we're sure it's a good fit."
- raxxorraxor 4y agoTo be fair, the salary is relevant to recruiters for their compensation. For lower wages it often isn't worth it for them to recruit people. It isn't necessarily a judgement of you, although yes, overall your income is.
- llampx 4y agoWhy is previous salary relevant to recruiters for their compensation? Only the salary of the role they are recruiting for should be relevant.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoYes, only that salary is relevant, but they too see the previous salary as a baseline for any future compensation. They know that the typical case is that salary maybe increases by 10% (number pulled from thin air here) and calculate if the effort is worth it for themselves.
