Not unless you are 100% firm on your salary requirements. It's always a good idea to hear the offer - it might be larger than what you're asking
Yes! It can save a lot of time wasted on interviews with low paying employers!
No that should be discussed closer to the end of the interview process when discussing your position at the facility.
Yes, but I present it as a “salary range.” That way you give yourself room to negotiate if you want to.
I think it’s okay to disclose the what I would like or what I expect as a salary.... but I also think I should be open to negotiation and here what the people hiring think too. I think a person should be willing to start a little lower than expected with the possibility of a pay raise as a reward for staying and growing with the company.
Be discreet until you get a face to face interview.
Yes. This is not the time to negotiate, however, I think that indicating what your minimum requirement is, will help the recruiter determine if it is within the salary range of the position so that neither of you is wasting your time.
I always do. But given the fact that you're asking this, I think maybe I shouldn't.
yes, if you are not comfortable with doing that. have a concrete number or at least a range. You need to know this before you interview.
Definitely; at least ensure the range is within your expectations. Otherwise, any followup interviews are a waste of time for both you and the potential employer.
Unless asked directly, I wouldn't disclose salary "requirements" so you are left with more room for negotiations of money & "benefits."
No. Ask what their best offer could be.
No, absolutely not. Not unless asked. It's not always about the money and it shouldn't be.
It would be nice not to have to disclose your salary requirements; however, most first interviews these days are with recruiters who want to know your requirements, if it's out of their range, they will continue to interview you but you will never hear back from them.
I usually do, but not sure if it is beneficial or harmful.
Yes especially when you’re right out of college and believe the lies of professors you’ll be making $100k on your first job then I can decline you and move on to actual workers wirh experience
Yes. No need to waste either your time or the company’s time if you’re not on same page.
I dislike answering the salary requirements (or current salary) questions during any phase of interviewing because it perpetuates disproportionate pay amongst genders, races, etc. If a man says he makes 100k currently and a woman interviewing for the same position says she makes 80k currently, the potential employer could use current salary to make the offer competitive, offering the woman 90k and the man 110k, for example.
Never! Let them tell you what they are willing to pay. Wait for an offer and negotiate from there.
You should have an idea of the range they will be hiring into and understand the game is to get you to say a number first. If they ask about requirements for salary tell them you have researched the role and provide several industry resources to show the range that the market currently supports.
Give a salary range ex. '$120-140k'.
Yes, salary negotiations should not be left to the last minute in order to save time for all parties involved.
Yes, otherwise you could be wasting your time. Usually the HR person who does the initial phone screening will make sure you're within the range of the pay grade.
No but I might ask what the pay range is just so I have an idea.
If your speaking to an established/large company, you can reasonably assume a salary consistent with the national average range. For smaller companies (10-20 people) you may need to be more direct and upfront about salary.
In most cases no. Just see if its the right fit on both sides first. But in some cases where the candidate is in demand, it's a way to find out quickly if the employer could meet your requirements and could save you time.
Hi, personally, I think someone talking about salary is not an ideal 1st convo topic. I prefer to see if the culture fit is there. Plus, when negotiating, always have them put a # first.
