Counteroffers are not a new phenom. You can bet a company will find it cheaper, easier, and safer to throw money at existing staff rather than a new hire that they need to pay a headhunter for ANYWAYS. If you're mostly going after passive candidates, you better cover counters til you're blue in the face, at EVERY stage, not only during closing or offer time, bc by then, you will be much too late. Don't be the person who ends up being used and abused to boost up someone else's salary at your own detriment to your client and your own reputation on the street. Make sure everything you do is on a needed basis instead of begging for scraps and for others to indulge you, because they won't. You have to find opportunities WORTH taking and put all your efforts into those rather than try too hard to experiment or take your chances.

While agency recruitment 100% is a sales job, it's not like a typical sales job in which you're selling a simple commodity at a price that doesn't really change anyone's life. It's easy to convince someone to buy something but not the same when trying to get somebody to take on a job to change THEIR LIFE. These monumentous decisions don't come lightly so recruitment is a highly refined sales role which requires ultimate talent, technique, and engagement. Here are some tips to help you SELL to your candidate.

As a headhunter, WE are the leaders when it comes to knowing how candidates think, act, and behave. When deals drop, it's not the candidate's fault. Candidates, like all humans, are RIGHTFULLY self-serving. Doesn't make them bad people, doesn't make them mean or selfish, just means they're human. KNOWING that, it's YOUR job to understand human nature and how that translates into human behavior, lifestyle, worldviews, and use all of that knowledge to anticipate their next move. Leveraging your depth of analysis, you can then endeavor to either place the person successfully or cut them out of process so as to not waste your time with droppers.
