I Recruit, Therefore I Am

The Second Commandment: If Brought Up Thou Shalt Revert All Salary Negotiation Back to Thine Recruiter

Let’s Reiterate

The hiring manager shouldn’t ask.

What I send them upon submission is:

-Your name
-Your resume
-Your availability
-A blurb about your background
-Any additional documentation you want to provide
Your rate/Salary expectation

They know this. If they ask you about salary during the interview, they either haven’t prepared to meet you or are playing Jedi Mind Tricks

Let The Recruiter Negotiate For You

Your job is to make The Client want you. Once you’ve done that, we’ll happily take care of the rest.

Everyone is trying to save a buck and Recruitment is expensive. One permanent agency hire could cost a company anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000 depending on the position. Contractors cost even more. Good managers like to keep their costs low and budgets on target. Some prey on the fact that people are gullible, easily intimidated and in most cases, more than anything, just want a job.

I’ve worked with employers in the past who have gone so far as to tell candidates they will hire them so long as they tell the Recruiter they weren’t interested and took another job. The company gets the talent and saves on the finder’s fee. The Recruiter get’s the shaft.

Companies play all kinds of games to try to get out of paying a Recruiter their finder’s fee. We want to keep them to a minimum.

A free word of advice: If the company is trying to pull funny business with you before you’re even hired, imagine what’s going on behind their closed doors. If they don’t want to pay my fee, you think they’re going to want to pay your raise next year?  Remember, Past Behaviour Predicts Future Behaviour. If it happens, tell your Recruiter about it. We’ll take care of it.

Because jobs are scarce and people are scared that any wrong move they make will lose them the chance at that coveted position, you’re probably worried about how it’s going to look in an interview if the hiring manager asks you a question you don’t want to answer.

So here’s how you handle it if it arises.

Hiring Manager: So what are you looking for salary wise?
You: I’d prefer all contract negotiation to go through my Recruiter but am ready and willing to accept a fair offer.

Simple. You’ve let them know that you’ll accept if you both agree you’re worth about the same, and that they can have that discussion with your Recruiter.

The Moral Of This Commandment: If the topic of salary arises it could be because the employer is trying to get you to shoot yourself in the foot. Don’t let them put you in a situation where you’re willing to devalue yourself. At any point a negotiable term arises, revert that discussion back to your Recruiter. We’re happy to have it for you.
