The answer to this question can also help you
avoid offering too much compensation and bonuses!
His Current Salary
Expectations:
A discussion on the candidate's salary history can
let you know his current salary expectations. You
can compare your expectations with the candidate's
to see where you meet.
Reduce the tension!
A salary history question can often get the
candidate concerned and anxious. Often it is
advisable to ask for the salary history during a
conversation about the candidate's previous work
experience. A question out of the blue can put the
candidate on the defensive and leave him unsure
whether to answer correctly or to provide an
inflated salary amount.
Educational
qualifications:
You should take into account any addition skills
and education they may have gained after their
previous employment time, such as an MBA, which
can raise their worth.
Ask for their current
salary:
Rather than directly asking for the salary amount
for previous jobs, you can also ask for their
current salary expectations. This can help you
determine their goals and whether they match with
your expectations.
Many employers may shy away from discussing
from salaries or salary history, thinking it is an
illegal or a taboo question. However a salary
history discussion can help you see clearly where
the candidate stands in his career path.
