So I've been applying for new jobs lately and I've noticed a lot of places ask for current or previous salary details on their application forms. I'm leaving this blank wherever possible (I am applying for jobs on a similar level to my current position so not trying to move up). I don't understand how this information would be constructively used by a potential employer, other than to offer a potentially lower salary than they had originally planned. Wondering if I'm paranoid or can this info actually be beneficial for both prospective employer and employer
As far as I’m aware, it’s usually so they can salary match, as oppose to offering a potential lower salary. You can also salary negotiate should their offer not meet your requirements.
