Started with a call with a recruiter Then moved on to an assessment test. Followed by two additional interviews. After the fourth interview I was “ghosted” even after sending a follow up on my candidacy. Which is surprising given the company’s position and do the right thing.

During the phone screening, the recruiter related that while the Colorado posted range for the position was $74-124k, that the budgeted pay was only $90k plus 10% bonus. My minimum salary requirement is $110k. There’s no way I’m accepting a $20k decrease. What kind of bait and switch strategy is this? Shame on Wendy’s HR. This is a pretty scammy tactic to try and lowball candidates.
