Salary Evaluation and Negotiation
Salary evaluation and negotiation are important final steps in the candidate’s interview process.
Evaluation is the process of considering the relative value of the offer in terms of total compensation which includes pay, benefits and intangibles. Pay and benefits can be compared to competing offers, offers received by others, and salary/benefit surveys taking into consideration factors such as cost-of-living. Intangibles include factors such as the type of work, organizational culture, promotion/pay increase opportunities, and location.
Negotiating salary may feel uncomfortable for some people, but it is appropriate to negotiate if you believe your skills are worth more than the salary and benefits being offered. These negotiations require up-front planning, preparation, and goal setting by the candidate.
