working with a recruiter part 2
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- remember the company pays the recruiter, not the job seeker, so expectations should be set accordingly
- recruiters juggle many candidates at once, so check in regularly instead of assuming you are being ignored
- have grace with recruiters since a lot of paperwork and coordination happens behind the scenes after every meeting
- research your current pay, benefits and market rate before negotiating so you can talk real numbers with a recruiter
- be firm on your worth but stay flexible, since being too rigid on rate can cost you an otherwise good opportunity
