They’re important questions but lots of these are pay and benefit related. Usually I discuss that after getting an offer, and I think that’s what companies expect too.
eh, I’m hiring for my team right now and I have zero problem with these questions.
I tend to bring similar things up myself at the end of the interview if the candidate doesn’t ask just because I don’t like wasting time down the line.
we shouldn’t make people jump through a bunch of hoops to see if they fit the job itself without being willing to consider that they might not want to waste time on a work environment that won’t fit for them even if they could do the job.
I get it that pay is negotiable, but i would expect benefits to be based on general policy for all employees.
And in a place like the US, whether you get healthcare or not is a huge deal. If the company cannot tell you that straight away, the HR just wants to waste everyones time.
As someone who lives in one of the two or three states where pay being listed in the job posting is now a legal requirement. Yes, ideally they should be. But our state just put this into law this year. And prior to that I think there was only one other US state with the requirement.
It’s a step in the right direction but still isn’t perfect because they’ll have huge ranges of salaries which are all made up and that is not in their budget. These make it into your filters but tell you nothing because of how unrealistic it is. Like $55k - $180k. When you get to the salary, they offer $60k and tell you that you’d need to be a god to get higher.
Unfortunately I’m not able to answer all of your questions, you would need to refer to our HR specialist for those answers.
Very simple and polite. Going and posting on the Internet that they didn’t hire someone because they had 100% legitimate questions make them look like an absolute moron, or simply someone that is looking for a slave that won’t complain or inquire into anything. When the reality is, a person knowing those answers is helpful to both the company and the individual in terms of finding a good fit.

Pay and benefits should be in the job description.

I’m sure the U.K. has to tell you the pay, amongst other things.

No problem in anticipating them. But the OP might not be asking them to a person that is allowed to answer them.
Yes but that is very simple to redirect.

Oh, it seems I’m getting thread-structure blindness.
I only saw the person complaining that the questions weren’t answered. I didn’t notice the one bragging about not answering them.
