Overview: The article is about interviewing a candidate regarding his previous salary drawn, as salary is one of the main issue for both the employer and employee. The resume provides the first screening tool, and an accompanying salary history can help you put together a more complete picture of the candidate's career story. The main emphasis of this article is not to ask directly about the employee’s current earning as it might be too sticky, instead deal it differently with other approaches. Bottom line of the article states not to make disclosure of salary history a deal-breaker, but try to glean the information you need in a subtle, supportive way. Use the information as just one of the many means to get a true picture of what the candidate can offer your company.
