Ask A Headhunter!

We all use FA. How do they check whether I have received a counter offer or not by my ex employer?

All details in your resume can be checked by companies like First Advantage

Its only whether the future potential company bothers to do it or not.

How they do it i don't know (since it is their company's trade secret)

But i have heard of cases where they have done it successfully.

Hello HH, whats the market practice on this?

Usually they pitch the potential candidate's current package (maybe + 12-20% increment) for the next role in a reasonable manner, or the hirer will base on the said job budget strictly? (Maybe their min. budget is more than 20% increment for the candidate)

Or usually they will lowball as much as possible?

As mentioned few times, they will see their budget then your experience + internal equity (go see the past posts)

This.



Ok first of all, it depends on how the company is structured. (do note this does not apply to SME companies)

In some companies, the budget is controlled by the manager, in other companies it is controlled by the HR

But lets say for example, if the budget is controlled by the manager, he will have to think about how is the best way to spend the recruitment before the end of the year/financial year.

Do note the money cannot be brought over to the new year, so any surplus is useless to the manager.

So let's say he is given a budget to spend to hire people and the budget is say 500k (annual salary)

He can choose to hire
2 people at 250k
5 people at 100k
10 people at 50k
etc

Do note he does not need to spend all the money together one shot. Maybe he feels he hire one person at 250k, then keep the rest in case someone resign from the company.

Another thing to note is, just because he can spend to hire 10 people for 50k doesn't mean he can

Because there is another thing called headcount. Basically it means if his team max headcount is 10 people, he cannot have 11 people or more in his team, regardless of whether he has a recruitment budget or not.

interesting! thanks HH

Hi HH,

Is too little work and no progression a good reason to leave a coy after a short stint?

I have a question. My job has to always travel overseas. Besides accommodation, I am given allowance for transport, food and compensation for time overseas. These amount to about 50% of my salary and does not reflect in payslip. So if I change to a local job will I be able to include them in negotiation on top of an increment?

No it is not a good reason.

Depends. Are you given a "fixed" allowance regardless of whether you travel or not?

Or is it you pay upfront then claim back from the company?

If the latter, then cannot include cos they are classified as "claims"

 

[Ask A Headhunter]

If you wish to change jobs, is it advisable/ok to go back to the headhunter who placed you in your current job?

Been more than 6 mths since you joined.

More than 6 months, doesn't matter.

Less than 6 months, don't go back to the same HH (he won't help you)

 

[lin.ci84]

[sick_and_tired]

What could I do to be head hunted?

 

[danyew]

When changing jobs, is it ok to factor the performance bonus into the annual package when quoting my salary to the hiring company? Especially if I come from a company where a salary structure of low basic pay and high bonus is the norm?

Yes find yourself.
Your recruiter won't help you unless you ask him for help.
