Feature: Salary range comparisons
  
AS A      person involved in a recruitment discussion
I WANT    to know whether the candidate's and recruiter's expected salary ranges overlap
SO THAT   I can avoid spending time on negotiations that can't ultimately be satisfied

AS A      person who knows about the phenomenon of price anchoring
I WANT    to approach this question without necessarily being first to name a number
SO THAT   I don't compromise my negotiating position

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
At no point in the process should anyone be able to view the minimum or maximum
value entered by any other users.  Ideally, some clever cryptography could be employed
to conceal the data, but it's probably sufficient to store the initial number for just
long enough to perform the inequality, then throw both numbers away and only store the
boolean result.

  Scenario Outline: workflow initiated by either user, showing overlap or not
    When the <first_user> enters "<first_value>" as their <min_or_max> acceptable value
    Then they see a link to send to the other user
    When the <second_user> visits the link
    And the <second_user> enters "<second_value>" as their <max_or_min> acceptable value
    Then the <second_user> sees a message that the two ranges <are_or_are_not> compatible
    
    | first_user | first_value | min_or_max | second_user | second_value | max_or_min | are_or_are_not |
    | candidate  | 5           | minimum    | recruiter   | 8            | maximum    | are            |
    | candidate  | 11          | minimum    | recruiter   | 3            | maximum    | are not        |
    | recruiter  | 20          | maximum    | candidate   | 4            | minimum    | are            |
    | recruiter  | 20          | maximum    | candidate   | 50           | minimum    | are not        |
