Every call you take is an opportunity for you to bolster your final asking price. Use calls to your advantage.
The recruiter might not be party to the final negotiation, but they’ll be a net positive at hiring meetings if you’ve got them in your corner.
Recruiters will want to talk on the phone at every stage, not necessarily for long periods of time, but certainly frequently. They are constantly gauging how you feel as a candidate, and getting the measure of how to close you once you get an offer.
Dance along to their tune and it will be one more reason you get top market price for your labor.
- sokoloff 5y agoMy experience (mostly on the hiring side) is that an in-house recruiter is indeed trying to close you if they think you'll be a good fit (they're measured/bonused on metrics around their job, after all) and third-party recruiters are just interested in closing the deal and you staying 90 days. As a hiring manager, I can't recall ever being influenced by a third-party recruiter as they "love" all candidates at a rate equal to 30% of the candidates' first year comp.
