Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, scheduled a phone screening. We discussed my experience and the job description briefly at which point she began asking about my salary history. I gave a salary range I am expecting and said we can discuss salary when we both think I'm a good fit. The recruiter asked several more times for my salary history then said it was REQUIRED for an application. No employer that respects their talent would require this, so I thanked her for her time and asked her to contact me when the policy was changed.
