Otherwise, you can end up wasting SO MUCH TIME when you find out, after three interviews and days of skills testing, that it pays $20,000 per year.

I cut them NO slack - almost the first question I ask headhunters is how much does the job pay. That he won't answer this, even in a ballpark figure, suggests to me it doesn't pay well.
