This Fast Company story highlights the real deal behind the salary range conundrum. Here's what you can expect as a job seeker: A new report from Glassdoor finds that while job seekers often picture themselves in the middle or top of a salary band, the reality is quite different. More often than not, the salary they end up receiving is in the lower half of the range. Glassdoor found that when comparing data from hundreds of thousands of job listings to salaries from full-time employees, more than 60% of salaries for a given job were lower than the median of the pay range offered in an equivalent job listing. (The average salary range from Glassdoor’s data spanned at least $15,000, with a starting point of $61,000.) https://lnkd.in/evWKdEqd

“What’s the salary range for this position?” “What are your salary expectations?” The CLASSIC employer vs employee argument, and as the recruiter, we get to be in the middle of it, how fun ……. ☹ My take, know your worth. Let’s take me for example, (I am extremely happy at ProSourceIT and not looking to leave), say I make roughly $80,000 a year. If I was looking to move (which I’m not, don’t fire me), I’d probably be entertaining for anything $90,000-100,000. As a candidate, I know employers obviously don’t want to pay extra. As an employer, I know candidates are always going to want to get extra pay. So where do we go from here? The reality is that the market is controlled by the employers, like it or not, and if you don’t believe me just scroll through all the green banners on here. If you are first to confidently set your price based on market rate and other reasonable measures, you will avoid low ball offers. What If I was offered 100k but the same job could have offered 120k? Accepting the $100K offer instead of pushing for the maximum $120K builds goodwill (this is subjective), leaves room for future raises, avoids salary ceilings, and manages expectations. Side note: As agency recruiters, we don’t just work with one client or one budget. To help you land the best opportunity, we need to know your expected rate or salary. That way, we can match you with the roles that fit you best. My point: Somebody has to take the first step, and there’s a lot more applicants than jobs. Study the market, come in with a reasonable number, don’t settle for less 😊

Navigating the Waters of Salary Expectations vs. Experience.   Ever found yourself at the crossroads of salary expectations and experience?   We all strive to be valued fairly, but how do we balance what we bring to the table with what we take home?   Firstly, experience isn't just tenure. It's about the depth of skills you've honed, the challenges you've overcome, and the value you've added.   It's a common misconception that years equal expertise, but it's the impact of those years that truly counts.   Now, salary expectations. It's a dance between market rates, personal needs, and self-worth. But here's the twist – it's not just a number. It's about the entire package: flexibility, growth opportunities, benefits, and culture.   I've seen the landscape shift in recent years, especially here in the UK. The question is, are we keeping pace? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you found that sweet spot where your salary reflects your experience? Or are you still searching for that equilibrium?   Please comment below. #recruitment #salarynegotiations #construction

Why is getting the salary level right so important? 🤔 If you want the best candidate at the right level, then you need to ensure you pitch the salary correctly. This isn't just about attracting somebody to your role - it's about putting out the right messages to the market, retaining staff and ensuring they are happy as well as ensuring their experience and skills are right for what you need. If the salary is too low, you will not find somebody at the level you require - or if you do, they may not stay very long. Too high, and the role might not be challenging enough, so they may leave quickly in order to progress their experience.
