Oh y’all. Bless the hearts of folks who buy into this.
Here’s the thing certain “coaches” will try to sell you on.
Recruiters DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW how to negotiate.
Who comes up with this nonsense?
Real talk y’all. This recruiter LOVES it when candidates are confident in their decision and know what they want. It’s the greatest gift! Candidates absolutely deserve the time/space to figure out what’s right for them and expectations absolutely matter!
As for me, I try to make the best possible offer I can, but even I don’t always get it exactly right. If we need to discuss further, no problem! If the offer works from the go, just take it. No shame in that either.
Here’s the thing – not every negotiation “hack” is GOOD. Game play, withholding information, stupid “take away” tricks – all nonsense and frankly beneath two professionals who should be capable of an adult conversation. Yes, recruiters too have a responsibility to be fair, honest, and transparent.
