Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
Once the job offer is made, things tend to move fast. Be ready, be responsive, and be clear with your intentions. Don't make veiled threats and ultimatums - neither the employer nor the recruiter will respond well, and you risk having them move the offer to the next person on the list.
 
Let the recruiter negotiate on your behalf
If you are working with a recruiter, they will likely expect to negotiate for you. An effective recruiter has much more experience in negotiating than the average job seeker. In addition, they may well have valuable, relevant information including compensation history and expectations of competing candidates. Recruiters are in a unique position in that they want to deliver value-for-money to their client while obtaining the best possible offer for you. A good recruiter will be able to balance these competing needs. Prepare your Job Offer Negotiation Worksheet and review the points with your recruiter. Highlight your must-haves, along with your list of negotiable items to help them negotiate smartly on your behalf.

A recruiter wants to make the deal happen. The client is the ultimate decision maker, but the recruiter is not without influence in the process. Maintaining a good relationship with the recruiter throughout the hiring process will help put you in a good position during the job offer negotiation stage.
