How would fluffing the salaries benefit a company? The result would be new employees expecting matching wages and existing employees feeling they are underpaid relative to their peers.
- MattRogish 14y agoIt certainly would benefit recruiting agencies; 20% of a bigger $ goes right to their bottom line. Not that they do that, of course, but I'd be slightly skeptical of any #s that come out of recruiting agencies.
- jarek 14y agoIn this case, any fluffing recruiting agencies do actually works in favour of good software developers. You could make a claim that if the salaries weren't pumped by the recruiters, the employers could hire more people, but by all accounts lack of jobs isn't currently a problem for good developers.
- dsolomon 14y agoHR makes the sell that "after a few years the candidate -could- be making that kind of money". The few years never really come, so the employee moves on. Except that the next company makes the same commitment.
