I say rubbish. F*ck all these company in particular sching

I've been with 5 companies and I never share my salary details. So far only 1 company retract their offer due to this policy of mine.
But I'm in specialized IT have this luxury of low supply of talent. Your mileage may vary.


Actually lets try to look at it from different perspective. Why do you need to know candidates previous salary?
If you actually run a business, you don't have to know every number to make a deal don't you? My issue is, future employer tend to anchor new salary based on the last one, which if inherently short sighted and only benefit 1 party.

You research for market rate data, and pay based on his/her capabilities? Its not rocket science.
Also whats wrong for employer to set their own standard based on potential value of particular position? if market rate says customer service guy average at rm3k, they could be worth more to certain companies, hence higher compensation.

To clarify, I do run a small business
