The law doesn't say you can't offer someone a different job than they applied for.


If I make up the job after meeting the candidate, is that OK?


The question was specifically about hiring for multiple positions at different levels of seniority. If your company is hiring for positions with differentiated responsibilities and expectations for pay, you can advertise multiple jobs and shouldn't have to make anything up.


Sure, if you can talk your boss/executive that a candidate is a true super-star and you should pay over the published range, why not?

The goal of this law, and others like it, is fixing the bottom end of the range to prevent low ball offers from employers that know women and minorities (and others) frequently undervalue themselves.
