That's your discretion but for the sake of argument, what's the value in keeping that information private?
If both the candidate and the employer are honest in communicating their priorities in regard to what they hope to get out of the relationship it allows both parties to better understand each other. Additionally, assuming they are sufficiently aligned, such discussion allows both parties to focus on things that matter to everybody involved and not waste time quibbling over things nobody cares about.
- rhizome 15y agoIf everybody is honest about their priorities, does the question need to be asked at all? Why wouldn't the interviewer, or even the job ad/posting/req/etc. itself, list them?
- azov 15y agoTry a simpler example to understand the value. Imagine employer asks you in the interview "what's the minimum salary you are willing to accept for this position? Come on, just be honest - tell me what you want to make" PS. In a perfect world every job posting would state compensation, all perks, and an honest and detailed description of work environment. And every interview would consist of just one simple question: "are you qualified to do the job?". Unfortunately, the world we live in is a bit more complicated.
