Are recruiters doing the opposite of what job seekers are doing in terms of compensation?

  1. As a job seeker, you are looking at 10 different job offers, trying to find the best job with the highest pay.

  2. As a recruiter you are looking at 10 different qualified candidates, trying to find the one who can do the job for the lowest pay.

Essential, do you think job seekers and recruiters are doing the opposite in terms of negotiating financial compensation?
