[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My hunch is that you will get tons of applicants if you can pay $20-21/hr.

You should probably advertise without specifying an exact amount.  Be VERY detailed and clear about the hours, ages, scope of work, etc...  Also be very clear about what you are seeking (years of experience, degrees?, fluency in english, ability to drive, flexibility w/ scheduling, etc...)

Then say that the compensation package includes X vacation days or paid holidays, Y sick days, etc... and that the hourly rate will be a minimum of $18/hr - and potentially higher based on qualifications and experience.

That might help you get a solid pool that will give you an indication of market response and demand, without locking you into a $20+ rate right off the bat.[/quote]
I would not be impressed with this strategy. I'm sorry.[/quote]

Then you're not an employer.  This is how you screen for qualified applicants when you simultaneously need to test what the "going rate" is for a given job.[/quote]
Not every employer wants to be a shyster.[/quote]

Oh please.  Have you ever bought a car?  Did you check prices on the models you like?  Did you see whether everyone charged the same price or one dealer seemed to be pricing things higher for the same exact car?

Same basic principle.
