That would seem to put your company squarely under the heading of checks notes A) "doesnt put enough faith in own ability to assess talent without it".
If you place a preference on candidates who share the information, your lack of faith in your own ability to value talent is presumably also strong enough that you are willing to forgo the (better) candidates who do not feel compelled to share their salary history.
That's quite the declaration to make to a job applicant.
