Pay Range Positioning Strategy
A rule for deciding whether to offer a candidate pay at the job's minimum, midpoint, or above-market based on experience and scarcity.
"I need the role filled, but I don't want to overpay every time or lose candidates to higher offers."
Positioning strategy means choosing where within the published pay band to place an offer — minimum, midpoint, or above — using the candidate's skills, experience, and how hard the role is to source. It's a deliberate posture that balances budget, fairness, and time-to-hire.
