"As a partner to my clients and an ally for my candidates, I often find myself helping with job negotiations. Just this week I helped fill a 15K salary gap by requesting that the client bring their offer up another 5K plus an added week of paid vacation time. It was a perfect compromise, and the candidate signed the offer just last night!"

One of the most exciting parts of your job as a Permanent Recruiter is when your client tells you they are ready to make a job offer to your candidate! Congratulations - you did it! Now, the interviewer wants to see that you understand what comes next.
Many things can get in the way between a proposal to its acceptance, and it's up to you to ensure the process goes as smooth as possible. This task includes controlling the conversations regarding salary offerings and counteroffers. Discuss any experience you have with job offer negotiations, giving a real-life example if possible.

"I keep my clients and candidates close, to ensure that proposals do not go sideways due to lowball offers from the company, or unrealistic expectations from the job seeker. Just this year, I have worked on 18 different offers, helping both parties come to a satisfactory result. I keep up to date on market trends, what competitors are offering, and what employees are earning based on their location, education level, and years of experience. I am 100% comfortable taking full control during job offer negotiations."
