I HAVE NOTICED THAT MOST COMPANIES RULE OUT CANDIDATES WITH A HIGHER SALARY RANGE AND ONLY CONSIDER CANDIDATES WITH LAW SALARY EXPECTATIONS,DON'T YOU?

BELIEVE THAT EACH CANDIDATE SHOULD BE EVALUATED BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS,EXPERIENCE,CONTRIBUTIONS..ETC. DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT COMPANIES ARE RULING OUT GOOD CANDIDATES THAT CAN BRING CHANGE AND PROSPERITY TO AN ORGANIZATION.DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT HIGHLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES CAN ADD VALUE AND BRING SUCCESS TO NEW COMPANIES.AFTER ALL YOU WILL BE WORTH WHAT YOU CAN AND WILL ACHIEVE.WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I agree. Some companies (or individuals) unfortunately rule out the deserving candidate only on this basis to apparently save few bucks. But what they fail to comprehend that this act of ignorance may cost the organisation dearly in future in terms of both revenue and lack of talent in the team.  Their objective should be to retain the talent if the demand (of salary) is not quite unreasonable.

If at all, it seems so (that the demand is not reasonble one) then there should be a scope of negotiation and approach should be to strike a balance.

i am100% agree with you .the main reason for the displacement is lake of related knowledge of interviewer.they are asking the questions to fail the applicant ,not to explore his abilities .

i think there should be specially trained people to measure the mental caliber of the applicant and they must aware that what they are looking for and the person (applicant ) can take this challange or not .

its just my point of view ,every one have the right to give his/her comments .

Well, thats the most stupid way of ruling out candidates because the lower one pays, higher the possibility of getting poor quality or people who can bring real value to the organization.

The Balance should be maintained and recruitment should be done wisely not miserly.

Normally, when a position is opened for recruitment, a salary band is decided - minimum and max salary that can be offered. Where companies go wrong is when the try to find a candidate who fits into the minimum range of the band, thereby compromising on quality. That's a penny-wise, pound foolish approach. I'd always recommend we go for top quality people, even if they cost a little more. Their results will compensate.
