Quotes:

“There’s pay transparency, and then there’s taking it to the next level and giving [candidates] the opportunity to compare their current benefits with their potential benefits if they were to accept a job offer.”

“Wouldn’t it be cool to have a different paradigm about pay where instead of [giving salary increases] just because theclock changed, we do so based on what what they actually do to impact the company?”
