I honestly just tell them what I want which is at least 10K above what I make now or it's not worth it. And if they ask what I make now I just point out it's not worth leaving for something lateral.
That phrasing works really well with internal recruiters.
For me, I find things usually go the other way. I could spend a lot of time working through the process, only to find out that I'm too expensive for the company. I don't need the frustration of working through the process at several companies just to find out that none of them will pay me.
