At this point, pay whatever you think just below market is and let candidates know they get a 10-15% raise at 6 months and 12 months, and 5-10% at 18 months and 24 months. Show them a comp schedule for their targeted salary, and give them a decent signing bonus with a repayment policy if they quit in the first year.
Solves the problem of hires wanting to jump ship even if they started 10-20% below their target salary but know that committing can get them decently above their target salary in a year
- kayodelycaon 3y agoI would never trust a company to give me a raise like that. Management would just deny it when they want to save money on payroll. I’ve had so many people promise things and have someone else them prevent them from following through. I’ve had a department head reporting to the CEO try to keep me but HR wanted me gone. HR knew how to play politics and I was gone.
- layer8 3y agoAsk to get it in writing. Then you’ll see how serious they are.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoThis. Actually, I'm suggesting the top-level poster explicitly state they do this, so candidates know they aren't fucking around.
