We dissect the dilemma of stretching salary norms for standout candidates and the subsequent shockwaves it may send through your team's dynamics. Our conversation takes an unflinching look at the high stakes of leadership decisions, where the wrong move could devalue your stalwarts and raise doubts about your hiring acumen.

Embark on a revealing journey through the perceptive corridors of employee perception in recruitment, as Dave offers a masterclass on avoiding the pitfalls of mismatched expectations.
