    EQUITY + SALARY DISCLOSURE
    Salary Range: $70,000 – $80,000
    We believe in practices that create real equity and pay parity regardless of background
    or identity and we freely discuss compensation with all qualified candidates the first
    time we interview them. Saving the salary discussion for the first conversation allows us
    to fully understand the needs of each candidate and to ensure that qualified candidates,
    even those who’ve historically been overlooked and/or underpaid, don’t self-select out of
    the processes based on salary alone, as our experience and research suggest. In
    addition to those who opt out, because they fear the salary may be out of reach for
    them, we equally don’t want to miss out on conversations with candidates who are
    slightly over the range when in some cases the total compensation including factors
    such as bonuses, flexibility, and better health benefits, etc. may exceed expectations.
    Finally, as a search firm – we are always looking for top-notch talent to introduce to our
    clients. Should the salary or any other requirement not be fit, there is often a chance that
    someone on our team is working on another position you may be a better fit for. If you
    would like to discuss your qualifications for this role as well as discuss salary and
    compensation – just give us a call, and we’d be happy to discuss!
