How to Handle Salary History Requested Applications
Diane Barowsky, an executive recruiter, cautions against including compensation criteria. "You're more likely to sell yourself short because you don't know what the range is," she explains.
Instead, state that you anticipate a pay commensurate with your expertise and the responsibilities of the position. You might also put "negotiable," because compensation is, after all, always negotiable.
What are you working on right now?
Answer with caution. State that, while the new work is in accordance with your talents, it cannot compete with your existing position. As a result, your present income is not a fair indicator of what you should be earning in this role. Always save the pay negotiation for the conclusion of the conversation. By this point, the recruiter has a sense of your competence and is prepared to be flexible on salary in order to hire you.
First, get the employer to say a number.
According to Barowsky, every employer has a pay range in mind with which to play. "They have knowledge you don't have," she explains. "When you don't know what the employer has in mind, you may underbid yourself. Employers will take notice. Later, you'll discover that someone two cubicles over from you is getting paid more for the same task you are." So, before you announce any pay criteria, find out what the range is.
