Compensation Communication to Candidates
A clear, concise sentence that explains total compensation helps candidates compare offers and reduces misunderstandings.
"I want the candidate to see the full picture so salary, equity, and benefits don't get lost in the shuffle."
State total compensation as an explicit, framed sum (base salary + target bonus + estimated equity value + key benefits) and clarify which parts are guaranteed versus variable. This gives candidates a single, comparable number plus the components behind it.
