Recruiters are much more likely to cut bait and leave an extra 5% on the table to:
1. Keep a good relationship with the employer
2. Keep their turnover high, making money on negotiating many "OK" salaries instead of maximizing each individual salary (including yours).
- tombert 10y agoI agree, except what I generally tell a recruiter what I want for a job before an offer has even been made, and I usually work with multiple at once. It gives me some haggling power without being the one who has to haggle directly.
- rogerdpack 10y agoSounds like you are already your own "agent" as it were. The rest of us just don't know how to haggle, sadly :|
