Challenge:
As employers seek to hire new staff, they often request the salary history of those being considered for hire. Unfortunately for some candidates, this information is at best sketchy, and for some, non-existent.
Strategies:
Employers should shift the focus from one of review of previous salary history to utilizing current market rates for the role and functions to be performed in the job. This will demonstrate a recognition of the candidate’s current skills and accomplishments and will promote a positive hiring environment.
