Making the Offer

Making the offer

• The power shifts to the candidate. To prepare for this ask these questions:

  • If we were to make a job offer today, when would you be in a position to accept or reject the offer?

    • If candidate answers “right now” this shows they do not have other job offers or that they prefer your organization

  • At what point, dollar wise, would you accept our job offer and at what point, dollar wise, would you reject the offer?

    • Helps understand candidate’s expectations

  • The questions help to qualify candidates based on salary expectations

  • Many candidates may want to negotiate salary. Because of this, being aware of upper and lower salary budget limitations is imperative
