While some job postings might state the salary range, others may not. The interviewer is looking to see if the salary you are looking for is in line with what they can offer a candidate.
Do some research online to see what the average salary or the salary range is for a Talent Acquisition Specialist in your location, as well as how education and experience level comes into play. Make sure to tell the interviewer salary is not your only consideration.
"Before salary, I'm really looking first to find a company whose values and culture I can be excited about. I want to enjoy coming to work every day and feel proud to tell people who my employer is. I have done some research though and in our area of the country, a Talent Acquisition Specialist with a degree in Human Resource Management is 60,000. Given I have a BS in HR Management and am also SHRM-CP certified, I feel that salary level is appropriate."
