In late 2017 California amended its labor laws to forbid employers to inquire into previous compensation and to compel employers to provide candidates with pay range information.

I refer to AB 168 and AB 2282:

If you are a candidate, applying for a job in California, how do you see the recruiters you are working with, handling your requests for compensation information?

Do they drop you like a hot potato ... or do they answer your questions, like a legitimate business partner?

How do you see recruiters working from outside California dealing with this issue?

Do they even know that the law exists? Do they care?
