When I interviewed a foreign company, when it came to the salary part, HR asked me about my expected salary, I directly said 40K, and then HR asked me, "Then what was your salary in the previous company?" My salary at the time was 0K, so I said it directly, and HR directly said, your salary has increased a little too much, and it has increased by more than 0%.
I said, "First, my original salary is low in the market, and second, we have provident fund and other benefits, which is more than that." ”
HR said, "Yes, then you can provide proof of salary from the company." ”
I haven't heard of this before, I need to provide proof of salary, come back and inquire, There is another colleague who interviewed this company is the same, but he said too much about his salary, and the certificate issued by the company can't be used.
What is the use of this previous company's salary certificate for the company?
In many companies, everyone's salary is different, generally speaking, job hopping will increase a percentage of salary on the original basis, if this ratio is outrageous, HR needs you to explain. So HR usually asks you what was the salary of your original company?
Generally, candidates will answer a number, and if the original salary is relatively low, some people will add some, so it is more reasonable to explain their expected salary.
Based on the candidate's answer alone, it is not worth the truth, so I ask for a salary certificate, which is simple, with the endorsement of the previous company, so that you can see whether the answer is true. By the way, the integrity of the candidates was tested.
HR wants to understand the salary status of this position in the current market, one is to look at the salary research report, which is relatively rough, can only look at the general salary, and the other is to answer through the interview of the candidate, but the answer is true or false, if there is a salary certificate, it is genuine information.
In addition, through this salary, you can look at the salary structure of other companies, which can provide some reference for HR work.
If you say that the salary of the previous company is more, it is to be higher when you ask for the salary, and it is more reasonable to talk about it, so how should you say it?
First, of course, you can't lie, once you lie, if you are discovered, this is a matter of integrity, and it is directly vetoed.
Second, in addition to salary, you can add bonuses, dividends, and housing provident fund, which can be counted as income, and when you want to provide it, you can provide it together with the bank statement, which is also your real income, but it will be more than a simple salary, and it is reasonable to talk about.
Therefore, during the interview, the company needs to provide proof of income from the previous company, just to see if what is said is true when talking about salary during the interview.
In fact, it is also very simple, don't think about it so complicated:
One is to get an accurate picture of your previous income. Grasp the real income of your previous company through the salary flow you provide to measure your salary needs at the time of entry.
The second is to fully collect the salary level of the position in different companies. When I used to be a human resources, I would often investigate the income of the applicant's previous company, and even the detailed salary structure, how to pay performance salary, etc. Collect and investigate the salary situation more, so as to facilitate the company's salary system adjustment in the coming year, or formulate performance appraisal methods to provide a basis.
Third, it can grasp the positioning of employees' personal career value when they enter the company. In the job search, some people want money and do not want "front", some people want "front" and do not want money, and some people want money and value "front", which grasps the value orientation and positioning of employees, and facilitates the targeted training, guidance, cultivation and management of employees. (The secret of personal resources)
So, don't hide or avoid these questions, as long as we plan our career reasonably and actively strive to achieve more performance, there is always a place for you to develop in the workplace.
