Is it just money because you want to avoid those kinds of people. And I think it's I think there is a notion, not everyone, but some candidates or even some clients as well, where they kind of think it's like who could come out of this winning? Like, can I get him for cheap as possible? Or Can I get the most salary possible? When you feel that, and you can usually pick up on that so quickly, then you can dig into what the motivations are. Luke Parkinson I think you touched on there, I think is the massive point of it, and it's the collaboration or the synergy between expectations. And this time it’s speaking to the hiring managers.
Johnnie Savva It’s information only used when needed for a specific case. And then he's going to know exactly how much you're earning because he can offer you the job. You know, it's going to be completely confidential between us and the client that you're hopefully going to work for in the long run. Talk to us, we're not going to come off the call and then email it around to our whole database saying candidate one earns fifty-five thousand a month. So maybe the wife doesn't have to work anymore or, you know, he wants to try to go on holiday. And if they need to earn 55000 because, you know, their family situation requires it and, you know, he's hoping to earn a little bit more. You know, we're not going to short-change them. We can advise on what level is best and we're going to, you know, not be around the bush, we’re going to try and get as much money as possible.
We're understanding, you know, where the budget is and, you know, our marketing team do a lot of work about the market update where a junior mid-level and senior developer is, for example, we don't just pluck these numbers out of thin air. Net developers, data scientists, you know, Java Developers, day in, day out. But that's where using us is beneficial, because we're in the market. If he gets more than that, he’ll go up to 90. You know, knowing what I know and knowing the clients I'm working with, I think that a profile like his, he's going to be about 80 to 85. But realistically, at the level he is at, is a client going to pay that figure, I'd be surprised. And maybe he's been sent for roles at that level. Danny Arnold Where do you think that's coming from? Do you think it’s other agencies inflating candidates to try and secure that candidate or is it the market that they're seeing elsewhere? James Allen I think in this circumstance, I think it was maybe other agencies, maybe overinflating how much they're going to get paid. You know, I almost feel like he needs to trust me to be more and know that he can lean on me for my experience and know what a client's going to pay.
You know, he wouldn't tell me how much he's earning. So in the space of 30 seconds, you've dropped from 100 to 85. We're going to be about 85 for an architect position, they said that’s fine. And I said that's not going to be possible. You know, had a couple of weeks ago, candidate said, ah, they wanted 100000 Swedish kroner a month. And then I've had it in the past where they've got a little bit defensive when I've said that's not going to be attainable with this client. The one thing that I think is a big topic is, is candidates almost overinflating how much they want to earn. Yeah, but that's the idea of the interview process, is to, you know, sell yourself to make sure that, you know, you can get as close to that figure as possible. You know, we're going to try and get you an uptake as much as possible. Watch the video to find out more! Transcription: James Allen I think it comes into I think comes into two questions, really, one, asking the candidate, you know, what are you currently earning? number two is, you know, what they expected because we're not going to ask what you're earning now and then sort of putting you into a role that's going to earn less.
