And #7 on the list of 7 Deadly Sins of Hiring is... 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽 #𝟳: 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿. No one wants to overpay, but relying entirely on industry benchmarks or your own internal salary bands, without acknowledging candidates’ current package or competitive offers, almost always leads to heartbreak. The best approach is to be honest from the start about what you can afford. Haggling at the offer stage is a myth. We’re not at a night market.

You want to increase your salary. But how? Here's one of the steps I share the most. Apply for jobs you feel are above your station.Because one of three things will happen:1️⃣ Fail Quick: No callback, just an automated rejection.2️⃣ Fail Slow: You get an interview, make it through a few rounds, but don’t land the job.3️⃣ Succeed: You get the job and a higher salary. Congrats!Whether it's Wrexham's first game back in the EFL or it's your first time applying for a role, failure is part of the process. p.s.

Let’s face it…Talking about money with coworkers, family, or friends can be really awkward.It’s unfortunate because getting a new job or being promoted is so exciting, yet we don’t feel comfortable sharing the details.That means people are often left to navigate salary negotiations and promotions by themselves.Other than a spouse, most have no one to talk to.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Working with a salary negotiation coach eliminates the awkwardness you feel with friends & family AND more than likely leads to a better outcome financially.It’s a double-whammy-win-win.But don’t take it from me…See what a recent client had to say:

Did you know that a good recruiter can often negotiate a compensation package that will meet or exceed your expectations even if it is above the client's set range? 🤔 The next time a recruiter reaches out to you (especially if it is me) 👋 , and the salary range has been provided, but it falls below your expectations 😢 , here is a different way to consider replying:"Thanks for the information, but I would not consider leaving my current role for anything less than $xxx" 🏆 👏 Don't be scared 😨 to set your expectations and don't let a preliminary compensation conversation derail you. Let your recruiter do the heavy lifting 🏋♀️ . If you are checking all the skills boxes for a client, it is fun to watch those pockets get a little deeper! 🤑 🤑🤑Tier4 Group #tier4group #t4g #flashthe4 #compensation #salary #negotiation #jobs #jobsearch #recruiterlife

No point in being mysterious. 🕵🏽👀💰Compensation should be discussed in the initial conversation. Getting onto a prescreen? 🚫Don’t hang up until you let prospective talent know what the salary and package looks like.Your candidate is running past the high-end of range? 🛑 Don’t move forward until you clear salary expectations with the hiring manager.I’ll never forget the 90 minute commute to get to a job interview only to leave frustrated that the compensation was significantly lower than what I was currently making! No need to waste anyone’s time. It’s all business so share the info out of the gate.

Salaries matter. But can bonuses make up for a lower salary offer, and how much is a bonus viewed as part of your pay?I have been involved with a few senior hires recently where basic salary and bonuses were a point of discussion. Some firms offer lower bonuses whereas others truly believe in their incentive value and review them regularly ⏩ In my experience, regardless of the benefits attached to an offer, including a bonus, if the salary does not meet the opportunity it makes for a difficult hire. However, where firms can't offer a higher salary, a bonus can be a clear way to reward solicitors for performance and enhance the overall offer 💰 I am interested in hearing any wider thoughts on this, either in comments or direct messages. #salaryincentive #bonuspay

I think salary transparency is such an important aspect when you’re looking for a job. I think that people don’t also want to be asked what they think they’re worth for the position they’re applying. Nobody wants to wage their self out of a potential job or lowball themselves to not get what they’re worth. Also, what happens when a job does not list its pay range,what is the point in applying if the wage will not meet your needs? You end up filling out multiple online pages for an application only to find out that the position is far less than you could ever accept.
