[老曾记]

if not why u care

Friend A and friend B welly good friends ... When friend A is jobless and had to resort to selling beads and necklace. Friend B spend $50 buy 2 beads strings from A. A very grateful.

[老曾记]

I doubt things would have changed either way. There is sufficient headcount.

Although they said happy with headcount. The boss just mentioned continuing to recruit ppl

Co T is hiring staffs at a max of $x in their website job notice.

Friend A's role is niche, so max salary offered by Co T is $x + $500 in telegram job posting.

During interview, A asked for $x + 500 + 500 to tap on the opportunity. Co T agreed on the spot. A has worked as a full timer in govt sector for 10-15 years, and covered the niche area quite thoroughly.

Friend B, heard friend A asked for $x + 1000, she also wan to ask for the same salary. But she is independent contractor for more than 10 years, means she is not full timer for more than 10 years. And might not have the niche skillset to ask for $x + 1000

In this case. B asked friend A if the salary she quote sounds ok or not, is it too high for the role. How should friend A answer? If say too high, it might sound like A is undermining B capability. Or just let B copycat quote $x+1000 as she wishes?

Should tell B go for highest he can but he need to own self do market due diligence

If he don't hv exposure or skillset n knowledge as A , he can ask higher than a only if he has other unique selling proposition as a headcount
Eg he has soft skills they need ?
Eg able to persuade ppl and has led teams before  .. teammates all fierce n domineering he gum well with them
Eg his has skills n experience in area X which they need in near future and it will become cost efficient for co to hv have than outsource

It s really up to him and recruiter de 

On top of that , it s also budget
Say I alr given budget to a
And my next candidate budget is reduced by x dollar then cannot alr la
Unless my boss help me come m talk again

Just por her until the sky on your end, let the company interviewer/boss be the bad guy la.

I would not do anything.  Cos it's mybfd.  It's up to the HR to offer whatever they want to offer.  I also won't second guess myself UNLESS I lied about the salary given to me

[Philipkee]

Although they said happy with headcount. The boss just mentioned continuing to recruit ppl

Hard to say. I know some bosses lke that but the reason why they say keep recruiting is cos they want a buffer to terminate people

What is second guess yourself means?
Salary is not a lie.

Your role is support your friend. Then let interviewer or boss shoot her down. Don't tell her real stuffs nobody likes to be shot down

No referal fee...
Got friend to work tgt always better than being alone.

[BuiBuiForeverAlone]

Only when coy terminate some existing staff/ someone resigns then hr might offer her. I kena this before. If the headcount is sufficient, the hr is not in a rush to offer the job role. Also hr might lowball as well.

Salary is not a lie.

Meaning if HR only offered x plus $500 but I told my friend I got x plus $1000 and he really tried to get a job with x plus $1000 and failed.  I will always wonder if I should not have lied

Tell her the truth since u all in same line.

I nv read ur psle question fully.

Just say if she wants ur same celery its up to her maybe she might get a bit less chance..

Yes A recommend B in. B is good worker.

During interview, HR told B it's because it's a recommendation by own employees, that's why have interview. Otherwise headcount is pretty ok liao.

I went to reread.


I got a feeling is coz they feel headcount enough liao
