There was this candidate whom I have recommended her for the above post after having a face-to-face interview with her. What happened was that she has been to 5 other interviews before mine and she got offered at $1600 per month by one of the companies. She asked me if she should just accept the offer and forget about the interview with my client or otherwise. I told her to think carefully and let me know her decision. She decided to bite the bullet and reject the offer from that company.

After the interview, my client called up and they offered her at $1600 per month. I rejected the offer before even calling my candidate, reason being my candidate would have 5 offers to choose from and my chances of closing this case will only be a mere 20% since all the 5 offers are quite similar in terms of location and company background. Eventually, the client increased the offer to $1800 and the case was concluded smoothly since the choice became more obvious.

So the advantage of engaging recruitment consultants in your job search is that they will definitely do their utmost to fight for the best offer possible for you
