It is imperative to state the current market price that you have researched and you demand the equivalent amount for yourself. If further negotiation with the candidate is necessary, HR will partner with the hiring manager to discuss the situation and, potentially, revise the offer.Take note of the details of the offer, as specified in your offer letter, and respond appropriately. If you've never negotiated a job offer before, there's a good chance that you've lost out on tens of thousands of dollars. First, get the employment offer in writing. You should ask for and receive an offer letter. If it's a genuinely generous offer. If the benefits and pay package offered are competitive, leave it as-is. A verbal offer is not sufficient to make a determination surrounding your job offer. It's a common misconception that you can't negotiate salary after an agency makes an offer.
