<aside> 🏆 Goal: Make a fair offer and close

Note: hiring manager = team lead and is by default in the lead in this process. If you feel like it's better if HR or someone else does the offer: do so.
Note: all of this is not an exact science and is determined together, so please: ask for help.
We weigh in several variables:
Hiring manager and HR determine salary offer together.
The most accurate way to determine the range where someone should be is comparing someone with a peer internally. During the hiring process, you find out at what level someone is and you'll be able to compare him or her internally.
Who would you compare this person to in terms of level? Is he/she better than X?
If you notice that everyone is not as good as the people we have, but are paid more: think about raising the salary of our people. Keep in mind that - especially in tech - the market is on tilt. Big corporate pay a lot of money to even mediocre people in tech.
We don't want to compete with them and that is a choice for new hires to make.
This is a bit old school, but also at Blendle there is a difference between someone who is 20 years of age with no experience or 30 with 8 years experience.
For some jobs/roles we need certain skills, expertise or even education. This always comes with a price tag.
It's fair to say that is harder to find an iOS engineer than an HR officer.
Good people are always hard to find, but we have to take into account that certain disciplines are paid a bit more because of what the market does.
Certain roles and people make more impact then others. This is reflected in pay.
Since we don't really like job titles, it's good to look at someones actual impact and contribution. What difference will this person make or is this person really making?
If we hire new people, they will have a job. To get them to work at Blendle, we need to offer a competitive salary. We have to take this into account.
With the good news. Really sell the story.
