That’s because it benefits you as an employer.
I’ve been on the hiring side and I know there’s a budget. If someone is too high you want to push them out right away.
My flatmate in Singapore about 6 years ago was looking for a new job. Her salary was about 2200/m and she said the recruiter kept asking about salary.
I told her not to discuss it. She doesn’t /need/ a new job. If the company really values her then they will give her an offer. They have a budget. They offered her around 4600/m.
If she told them she was on 2200 it’s guaranteed they would have given her only a small bump.
Companies should never ask for salary info. Because it’s only used to get cheap labour.
