bump question for HH

Usually more than 6 months then will have flag.

Anything less is usually quite ok

when it comes to negotiating pay for the candidate, does the headhunter work in favor of the hiring company or the candidate?

I would say 60% candidate

40% hiring company

But must remember, the candidate's expectations must be reasonable. Not like asking for like 25% to 30% pay increase, or working hours cannot work late if got projects, etc.

is there any incentive for the HH to negotiate with the company for higher pay, apart from the fear that the candidiate might reject the position due to low pay offered.

is there any commission that the HH will get thats tagged to the pay thats offered to the candidiate?

Edit:
ok i got ur answer from previous posts.

You must remember, we make a fee based on your salary (aka the higher you get, the higher commission we get)

They will be discriminated the same way you treat convicts correct?

What type of response do you expect from them?

Nope.

Must remember, employers are also people, and the most important thing is not the length of time you are out, but the reason why, reasons why people job hop, or why they leave their ex company, or why they are out of a job.

Reasons are more important.

Lets say for example, you had cancer and need 2 years to recover (but you are now fully recovered) then employers will be more open and receptive. Or you take time off to take care of an aging parent, or to help out in family business or start own business, etc.

But if you did not work for 2 years because you just didn't feel like working and you have rich parents and don't need to work then it is a separate matter.

Instead of focusing on the length of time, please focus on reasons. and please do not lie as a lot of things can easily be checked.

Makes sense.

I noticed most people are out of job for months just because they couldn't get a relevant role.

Relevant is subjective.

Sometimes the job scope is the same, but you are parked under a different department, and people hiam because of that

Is 20% increment usually achievable?
If the offer came back with 15% instead, should we accept or can negotiate again?

When HR does the calculation do they consider the company bonus as part of annual package? But bonus is a variable figure isn't it.

Thanks!

Like i said previously.

20% is achievable, but must see your employment history track record

If you have a history of job hopping or changing jobs every 2 years or less, then 20% is highly unlikely.

Can negotiate but depends on your bargaining power, which once again depends on your employment history.

No. Variable bonus is not included, but certain companies give sign on bonus (you will receive a lump sum payment, but you must stay in the company for a minimum of 1 year or the company will ask you to pay back the money)

Thank you. This is certainly the best thread created in edmw for a very long time ...

Hi TS,

What's the chances of securing a job if I've been called back for 2nd interview ?

It's an IT consultancy & project/vendor management role.

 

[tkdboi]

just curious about usually how long after 3rd or final round of interview that candidates hear back on an offer especially for MNCs? Do the firms take a while as they are finalising their offers? or do they inform the headhunter first to get more details on the candidate's requests?

ok here's something that happened to me which I don't understand:

1. Recruiter calls me about a job and ask me whether I am interested and I say yes.
2. Asks me for my expected salary and says ok, they will send me an email with some details.
3. The recruiter doesn't send me any email.

What happened? This has happened to me about 3 times over the years.
