Imagine if a company could figure out exactly how desperate you are for a job...

Then use AI to offer you the lowest salary they think you'll accept.

That's the idea behind wage surveillance.

Companies are collecting more data than ever before, from AI interviews and online activity to your location and personal information, all in an effort to make hiring cheaper. The less they think you'll push back, the less they have to pay.

In this video, we're talking about wage surveillance, AI interviews, personalized salary offers, why you should stop oversharing during the hiring process, and how companies are using your own data against you.

Glad that I live in a state where all job listings must list an accurate wage range within the job listing. Failure to do so can get the state DoL and attorney general involved

    they easily get around that requirement by listing absurdly large wages between the junior employee's wage and upper management's salary.

    That's not allowed in my state. It must be the wage range for that specific position

    Same in mine. Forces my employer to use ADP / Hays data to try and align job titles with comparable data from other employers. Basically everyone at my gig is at least making market and some a little better. Kills opportunities for big pay or bonus but I feel better knowing no one is getting royally fucked.
