Company taking over 2 weeks on salary negotiation. Is this normal?

Is it normal for salary negotiations to take over two weeks?

I interviewed with a company and received a job offer two weeks ago. The recruiter mentioned that the hiring manager was very impressed with me, but I later found out that the top salary band for the position is $11k lower than my current salary (which the recruiter hadn’t mentioned before). I decided to negotiate to see if they could match my current pay. The recruiter seemed to anticipate some negotiation and assured me that the hiring manager would have some flexibility and would get back to me.

However, it’s been two weeks since then and I haven’t heard anything. I reached out to the recruiter last week, and he promised to follow up by the end of the week, but I still haven’t received any updates. Is this typical for salary discussions to take this long? I’m starting to feel frustrated with the lack of communication.

Is it okay to reach out to my recruiter to recommend a talented classmate of mine?

Is it appropriate to contact my recruiter about recommending a classmate?

I’m still learning the ropes of business etiquette, so I hope you can help me out. I recently accepted an internship for next summer and I have a very talented classmate who is also looking for an internship. Would it be acceptable for me to reach out to my recruiter to see if I can connect her with my friend? I’m concerned that my input might not carry much weight as a future intern, and I don’t want to inconvenience my recruiter. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Subject: Seeking Insights on the UK Recruitment Industry

Hi everyone,

I’m transitioning from car sales and looking to enter the recruitment sector. I would love to hear your thoughts on which industries within recruitment are worth pursuing and which ones I should steer clear of, particularly in the Southwest (Exeter area).

Additionally, if you have any tips on things to watch out for or commission structures to be wary of, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for your help!

CV PDF Tracking/Analytics Software

CV PDF Tracking and Analytics Software

I’m curious if anyone is using software tools that help send and track CVs and portfolios. Specifically, I’d love to know if they provide insights like whether the documents have been opened, the time spent reviewing them, or if they were shared with others.

Understanding whether clients 1) open the documents and 2) read through the entire CV would be incredibly beneficial. Since I work in the healthcare sector, some physicians have CVs that exceed 20 pages. I’m wondering if adopting shorter versions might improve my response rates.

Firms hiring in the NYC/CT Area?

Are there any firms in the NYC/CT area that are currently hiring?

I’m an experienced recruiter with three years of successful placements and have been recognized in the President’s Club each year. I’m interested in finding a retained firm that focuses solely on the candidate side of recruiting. While I’ve done 360 recruitment, my passion lies in job fulfillment rather than sales.

Closing as a Recruiter..

Closing Candidates as a Recruiter

Hi everyone,

As a Tech Recruitment Lead, I often struggle with the challenge of closing candidates when they have multiple offers on the table. A common situation I encounter is when a candidate receives our offer but indicates they’re waiting on another company’s response and requests additional time to decide—often a week or more. This raises a red flag for me, yet I find it difficult to navigate the situation, especially when it involves salary negotiations.

I’d love to hear your successful strategies for closing candidates. How do you typically handle situations where they have competing offers or better compensation elsewhere? Looking forward to your insights!
