I despise online recruiters, as it's always the same MO.

I work in a fairly high-demand sector (even in my mid-30s I'm well within the younger end of the profession) so get a fair few requests to talk on LinkedIn.

I had one a few months back where I asked for the salary, and the range turned out to be significantly less than my current package, so respectfully declined, telling them this.

Cue the recruiter coming back asking me for details on my current package, as the salary was 'negotiable depending on experience'.

Just give me an honest appraisal of the T&Cs up-front, rather than hoping you can get me on the cheap. B@stards.

What annoys me most about it is that, while there should be a little flexibility of course for exceptional candidates, the role should have a VALUE to the company. That's the least I would expect of an employer - to have fully understood and valued what the employee will mean to them.

If I'm expected to do a job that's considered to be a £50,000pa job by the company, I should be paid in that ballpark. Regardless of whether I say my expected wage is £30,000pa - because if everything has been valued and considered properly, when I turn up for my £30,000pa job I'll be expected to perform as a £50,000pa employee. I don't want that responsibility if I'm not getting that pay.

It puts me off applying for jobs. If I see one that's offered at circa £5-£10k below what I want, I might consider putting my case forward for being worth more (while acknowledging I might get called 'overqualified' and declined).

If it's £20k above my expected pay grade I know it's a shot in the dark and I might not get it. At least I know where I stand.

It just reeks of a bad power dynamic from the get-go.
