Toward the end of the conversation, the recruiter pressed for salary expectations, but refused to divulge a pay range for the position. Reasons given were that "most people will only accept the top of the range once you tell them what it is" and "it's really an equity concern." Clearly, pay equity is served by transparency, hence the growing legislation in multiple states to require employers to disclose pay ranges. Further, if a recruiter is screening for a management position, why would they not expect their applicants to know all this?
