Comment on: Topic 'Are Entry Level Candidates Killing America?': hat. I am not saying that entry level candidates can not get the salary they want or ask for. I am not saying that people can't ask for more money when they leave. You half way agreed with my analysis by saying people "should" ask for more money when looking for a new job. Should tells me that you think people are entitled. I am not saying that is right or wrong. I am simply saying that asking for more money eventually drives up salary parity and everyone is getting around that amount. Thus increasing companies largest expense, salary costs. You don't think Dell’s move had anything to do with that? It is our fault my friend. We caused the society in which companies feel that they can cut costs elsewhere, and they can. AND, we let it happen. I am sorry you do not agree and I know there are other factors, but if you break it down, it is our fault. If not, I would be very curious whose fault it is. If you have a business, 2 candidates, same skill set. One costs you $30k, one costs $50k. Which one do you take?? Benefit minus Costs equal value. Unfortunately, the answer use to be we have more talent. We can not use that excuse much longer. I apologize if you found my posting abrasive. I guess at the end of the day, my point is simply we need to get more competitive in America because we are losing our swagger. It kills me because I do love this country. Morgan Hoogvelt said: Upon first reading the couple sentences of this post I thought it was going to be on point, however when I got to the part of the paragraph when you quoted asking salaries - now I can say you are way off point and are focusing on only a micro-view of things. First off, in recruiting we want to get our candidates more money - hell, all job seekers on their own should want more money. Have you not looked around and do you not see that the majority of American workers are underpaid and over worked? And way to blast the American worker as it is our fault our jobs are being outsourced. Did you not put one thought into this whole scenario? People move and leave because there is no job security. Gone are the days where you can put in your time, hard work and loyalty and get repaid in the end with benefits and a retirement paycheck. But a company, such as Dell, will not hesitate to close an entire plant down and ship all jobs to Mexico to save a few pennies on each unit produced. You ever read that case study? As for new grads, our corporate society requires education, everyone wants at least a Bachelors degree in the majority of jobs. Congrats, you have your degree - what's that? You are in the hole $50k which the govt is kind enough to let you pay back over the next 50 years. Oh and by the way, here is your starting salary - $30k. In case you didn't realize this, workers in the 70's were already making $7.50/hr + benefits. Now in those same exact position today, they are making $7.25/hr with no benefits, how the hell does this make sense? And it’s not a sense of entitlement, it’s a sense of putting in the hard work and hours to get educated and to get paid for your work, knowledge and expertise. Probably the same reasons why you are in recruiting, because the money is good. I'd say next time you get an idea to write a post like this, unless you are trying to start controversy, to do your research and make sure you have solid talking points. As a recruiter you should know that even the unemployed people have to maintain a proper resume and career path going forward. It's not that Americans won't stoop to taking a lower job, its that we cannot afford to. …; Added by Ronald at 9:43am on April 14, 2011
