Well, I have many more examples similar to yours... Our CTO actually interviewed with Facebook over 8 rounds (!) only to find out at the end that they won't offer him the salary he was expecting and asking since the very beginning. But they dragged him along because for HR it's just a normal work day, but for him it was a gigantic waste of time.
Totally agree and the feature is coming! For the MVP we focused on bare essentials and look: no mater how great a job is, you won't take it if it doesn't pay the rent.
Bonuses, equity and other package elements are coming.
Just launched this, thanks for checking out and comment! We are also launching on Product Hunt today where we have some additional info, check it out also!
We decided to build Wanted after being overwhelmed by InMails from recruiters on LinkedIn... It's impossible to cut through the noise.
On the other hand, we had a real hard time finding the best talent whenever launching a startup and working with those headhunters is crazy expensive.
So we created Wanted to solve both sides of this issue.
(1) Talents have to specify what salary they want, drop their resume / linkedin and that's it (equity, other package elements are coming).
(2) Companies commit to a salary for a posted position
The additional benefit of a set salary before the interviews is that employers won't be able to discriminate and offer less when negotiating because of gender, religion, ethnicity, or any other personal preference or attribute.
