That's not what they want though. What they really want, is to pay the best person they can get the absolute minimum they need to pay them.

They don't think about "what is the value of someone doing this job properly?"

They are counting on candidates not knowing their worth and exploiting that, and this guy is basically saying that

Right, but workers aren't robots lining up for the quickest hiring they can get. They compare salaries to other places, lol.

I don't think people are that clueless about their worth.

Of course, but why does this guy (or his client) not want to advertise that he's willing to pay 135k for someone who can do the job well? Because he wants to get the lowest he can get away with

I understand that part. 👍
