Could salary transparency legislation close gender pay gap? [Video]

There comes a moment in every hiring process when the matter of salary comes up. Sometimes it’s in the initial HR interview, other times it’s a surprise revealed at time of offer. It can be a straightforward, “Here’s what we’re thinking, does that work for you?” or the awkward, “You tell us what you’d like to make and we’ll let you know if that works for us.”

Either way, it can be fraught, especially if you’re worried about either undercutting your worth or excluding yourself from consideration because you were (gasp!) too greedy, even with industry benchmark data to support your ask.
