Each party shares a range and at the end they can see if they have significant overlap (green), minimal (yellow) or none (red). This helps each side determine if they want to proceed, without either one having to share numbers.
I know having it run on an s3 bucket URL is not a long term solution, but wanted to get something running; I plan to put it behind a HTTPS cloudfront URL soon.
Note that in some locations, salary requirements must be shared, but I've seen quite wide ranges. This tool might also be helpful in sharing more precise ranges after an initial screen, for example.
Nevertheless, the reticence is real and wastes people's time.
I agree that it is a tough convo, but I've definitely been in situations (esp early in my career) where neither side wanted to mention a range first. The goal of this tool is to short circuit that process and let folks know if they are close or far apart without either side revealing specific numbers.
