Interview process was fairly normal, got a call from a recruiter and then was interviewed by the hiring manager and finally an in-person interview. After the entire interview process I was offered a position that was less money then I am currently making. When the recruiter first called I was asked why I was looking for a new position and I said I was looking to increase my pay but when they offered the position it was substantially lower then the range I stated I was looking for and was a cut in pay to my current position. HR advised me they had trouble justifying the increase in pay... Here's a justification, you contacted me and made an offer to me to come to work for you. Company needs better recruiting practices and better upfront communication so as to not waist potential employees time.
