I can simply assume you are working as HR or a personnel working closely with recruitment. There is no way a right minded HR in a company would simply give out his/her colleagues salary Figure .

You just imagine this a Malaysian simply call to Bank Negara Malaysia and ask for Zeti salary figure . Is the BNM HR so stupid to divulge Zeti salary? Are you kidding me? I am using Zeti as as example, Zeti can be substituted with BNM Senior Officials and entry level graduates .

Both HR people are equally stupid and have evil intentions if HR A calls HR B and both communicate truthfully . Then HR A would know HR B is trying to get HR A colleagues and , HR B would put the potential candidates at a very embarassing level. Then HR B would know HR A company salary pay scale.

You see,its so stupid.

Thats the reason why when a company asks for your payslip, Why? The company can then know your salary through you ONLY  .

I know chances are there when HR from both sides can "pakat"/collaborating . But the chances are rare .

I am 28 year-old this year and this is speaking of my experiences of attending countless of interviews and working in my third company now.

For those reading this thread, pls dont be so naive to reveal your current salary.

PLEASE.

dreamer, normally they ask the payslip b4 interview or after ?
