You should hire based on experience and qualification not past history..

many countries ban past salary slip checking

That is literally the dumbest argument I've heard so far about hiring a person...

You might be hiring boot lickers if you think past salaries are a good gauge to how good a person performs.... I know a shit ton of people who got high salary and promotion really fast because he/she was the blue eye boy of the top people in their previous company.... however... once that "big tree" who provided shade for that person left.... he/she will be forced to find opportunity elsewhere.... they literally knew JACK SHIT and unqualified to hold high position...


same argument can be applied to people who are good but unlucky to have a low starting pay.... also... have you ever thought of what if their previous bosses treated them like shit?? stole their credit... refuse to promote them??? There are reasons why people want to leave and join another company....


Just ask yourself this 1 question.... WHY THE HELL would someone leave their existing company if their existing company is perfect??? by using the "salary" factor to gauge... you are literally either hiring a boot licker as mentioned or people who are clever to blow water... heck... you might miss out good talents because you think salary is a gauge to how well a person performs...


Trust me.... look at working experience.... not just "years" of working experience but what that person did during their previous jobs.... on top of that.... look at their credential as a tool to back up what they've mentioned during the interview... if they could convince you on their experience while at the same time have the qualifications to back them up.... confirm you found a rare gem....

The fact that you don't know why despite so many people have already shared their experience here shows that you will just ignore any real life experiences and that there is no point debating...

Salary is P&C... even company cannot disclose if your interviewer call them up to verify.... so what part of "past salary" u can't fake??

Past experience and qualifications on the other hand can be verified... if you work in financial institution.... BNM has dictated that all new hires will need to get their employment background check dated back 7 years.... but mostly on behaviour and misconduct.... even so... they can clarify with the previous employers on the job scope... job position and actual years working in the company.... but they cannot clarify on salary record...

Qualification is the easiest to check.... just phone up the institution then you got your answer... heck... the new digital age allows employers to check online with full name and authenticity code... how you gonna fake that with a fake degree these days??

Opportunity is not equal for everyone....the fact that we are talking about an employee leaving a company to join another company for better prospect should already gave you a big hint that in real life .... talent does not equal to high pay because talents are often mistreated....

That is the reason why talents leave companies... due to office politics...

My ex-company behaves like a typical cinaman... basically the same thinking like you... they think hiring people with high salary = talent but they ended up hiring shitty employees all the time....they refuse to promote internally cause they think they should be paid as they are when they join all the HOD they hire.. know nuts and often have to rely on downline.... these so called high salary earner mostly come from companies where they have a higher management looking after them (maybe they are willing to do sinful things... maybe their ex-bosses like people who can talk kok ... alcohol kaki... or whatever)...

I think I told this story in /k/ before but just to share it again... my ex-company hired a fella as the new head of reporting under finance...he is only early 30's... but in his past company he ranks AGM and had very high salary.... promoted every year.... he has a local uni accounting degree so he is automatically admitted to MIA..... took CPA can't pass at all... we don't know what the previous company see in him but he simply signed off shit and kena from our CEO cause he often made rookie mistakes... didn't check the documents before he sign and also we found out that even some simple things he can't explain...


My current company ... MNC... is totally different... they know nepotism is rampant in Malaysia hence if a person comes to interview with high salary but has ZERO professional qualification... it is an automatic red flag....



As mention... nepotism is rampant in Malaysia.... many people climb and get good salary not because of talent.... many highly qualified got shunned because of this hence I guess you should by now know why salary is never a good indicator of performance..

You are thinking of a fictional world where good performance = guaranteed promotion...

Most college students have such mindset until they come out to the work force.... if you are a college student... you will learn when the time comes that life is not as simple as you think... especially when you are living in a nepotism world...

Has the fact that not all companies have similar pay structure comes to your mind??

Has the fact that some smaller companies don't pay too well compared to larger companies??

Has the fact that some people were not lucky that they were not the blue eyed boy/girl of the bosses in the company when nepotism in Malaysia is rampant not comes to your mind??


If you are the owner/higher management of the company... I hope you continue leaning onto your current mindset... can't wait to see your company get screwed over like how it did to my previous company....
