A few quick, asymmetric observations
Inflation + market fear is driving weird decisions around pay equity right now.
4 things I’ve seen in the last month. Some good. Some not:
- A below market offer, because the person’s manager is underpaid.
- One org straight up not hiring at one level. Because they’d have to give everyone else a pay bump.
- A client giving everyone in the company a 5% increase across the board. Just for inflation. On top of yearly merit increases.
- Fat sign on bonuses to land talent. And to punt fixing the pay equity issues until next year.
I’ll be honest: I don’t have the answer here.
On one hand: the “recession” talk warped our brains. Nothing about high inflation, negative GDP but low unemployment (to the point of a labor shortage) makes sense. Trying to apply traditional labels to a market no one has seen before is silly. Square pegs in round holes.
Regardless: it’s in everyone’s head.
On the other hand: it’s not like businesses make decisions solely on media and social chatter. Business dynamics shifted real damn quick. Salary inflation in 2021 followed by a pull back in the tech sector whipsawed companies.
Some have the money to keep up. Some don’t. There’s no easy answer.
????But I promised you it’s never underpaying people.

Candidate Experience sucks right now. That’s it. That’s the show.
If you think back to 2021, when the job market was on fire, it was top of mind for everyone. Not just LinkedIn think pieces, but companies poured lots of time and effort into white-glove interview processes.
Now that the market cooled off, so did the effort. But there’s a disconnect: attracting talent isn’t any easier right now. In fact, it’s harder when you inadvertently cut corners.
Jeff Smith and James Hornick explain why ignoring candidate experience is costing companies big in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 111, “Candidate Experience Has Never Been Worse”
