Show HN: Salary Standoff – Resolve the salary expectation/range stalemate

I may not understand. I put in a salary, $5 annual gross, and created a link. I tried the link and was presented with a prompt to enter a number. I entered $3 and got a message, incompatible (or something like that). And I couldn’t try any other numbers.

This doesn’t seem very productive way to negotiate with a potential employer.

It’s really not intended for negotiations, it’s intended to determine if negotiation is possible. Candidate puts in their minimum, recruiter puts in their max, if max > min then negotiation is possible.

If the recruiter was able to make multiple submissions they could find the candidates minimum expectation exactly.
