We recently placed a Senior Marketing Director at a $2B company.
The winning candidate, despite not being the smoothest interviewer and not having the perfect background, immediately attracted an offer well above client’s budget.
How?
By being the best person for the job.
The role had quirks and unique requirements, and he understood them. He conveyed enthusiasm, demonstrated expertise, hit it off with the team.
Then he stated what he would need financially in order to say yes.
No negotiation tricks, no resume tweaks, no hacks.
Simple ain’t easy, but it sure is simple.
