HR is there to safe guard the company interest and also as independent reviewer...... Hiring managers like you is another story while HR is to ensure everyone is comply to company's policies and minimize the pay gap..... if you and the hiring boss pakat; you expecting HR just to give whatever amount u asking for?

let's say u mentioned in your CV that expectation salary is RM10K while your prev job salary was RM15K.... dont you think HR will be interested to find out why someone willing to lower their salary so much/desperate for the job? or in another word, if your prev salary is RM5k and suddenly u think u worth RM10K of course HR will ask what making u think u work it.... if your prev salary is RM10K and u still asking for RM10k now; most likely u will not work long in the company too....

also pay slip will tell whether u really work for company A and when is the last drawn salary too to indicate how long u have left prev job... if u r honest with the info u submitted in job application... if ur last pay slip was dated dec 2017 and u still applying jobs now.... won't HR curious what is happening between? maybe u landed in jail, etc....

I came across an applicant that worked for company A for 8 yrs then company B for 6 months but when he came for interview he didnt disclosed that he worked for company B and used last pay slip from Company A......HR saw the gap and dig his prev info then find out that he didn't disclose his employment with company B due to reason he was asked to resign..

let me give u an example, if u want to buy a car; will you interested to find out more about that car? .....

if u know the car u want to buy is a potential lemon; u still want to buy while u have so many brands or models out there? if u still want to go ahead; dont u interest to find out how much u expecting to allocate per yr for the repair?


whether if HR will reject or not is depending to group insurance policy.... maybe they will exclude u from Cancer related treatment or maybe set your medical coverage to outpatient only.... that's why i say.... be honest with HR for negotiation...

he asked to resign then jobless for few months before came to my company for interview.... actually that fella is good but he not honest with the info provided...

HR will not dig deeper if they not keen to hire that person..... if u have 100-200 applications per month....i doubt HR will wasting time to call 1 by 1...
