Compensation Range
12/18/2024
One of the nuances of modern recruiting is to properly manage the compensation range during a search.
If the compensation range is $80K – $120K, the candidate hears $120K, and the hiring team hears $80K.
A disconnect.
The most effective recruiters understand what the range is, but also do not throw it out there early in the process because from there on forward, the high end of the range is the number and it may not be possible for the candidate to go back off of that.
“I see myself at the top end of the range”.
Who doesn’t want more money?
32 – 36, some snow flurries.
Make it a great day!
