Align pay with role scope
Compensation conversations are more productive after the organization has defined the role level, responsibilities and location. Compare the full package and employment arrangement, not only the headline number, and be clear about what has been approved.
Set expectations openly
Ask candidates about their expectations and current constraints respectfully. Explain the range or process where possible, and avoid making commitments that have not been approved. Final compensation and benefits should be documented in the employer’s offer and contract.
