How do you tell recruiter you are not interested right now?

In your email, thank the recruiter for taking their time to reach out to you. Then, explain that after careful consideration, you have decided that the position is not a good fit. Clearly state that you are no longer interested in moving forward and that you want to withdraw your name from the candidacy.

Should you negotiate with recruiters by email?

However, if you don’t have confidence in your negotiation skills, you should try to push the negotiation to e-mail. Written, asynchronous communication will give you more time to strategize and make it easier to say uncomfortable things without being pressured by a recruiter.

Should you nudge the hiring manager?

If your top pick’s offering the lowest salary, go ahead and nudge the hiring manager a bit. You won’t lose the offer if you tell him or her that the job is your first choice, but are seeing that the offer’s a bit below market value for similar roles elsewhere.

Should you negotiate your salary with the hiring manager?

Sure, there’s wiggle room, and you should 100\% feel comfortable negotiating your salary. But remember that the hiring manager’s on your side now and she’s likely doing her best to get you to join the team. So treat this process as a conversation and not a back-and-forth fight.

What do you take into account when making offers in recruitment?

When I make offers in my recruitment job, I take into account the candidate’s current salary, the company’s salary range for the position, market rates and also what other team members are earning.
