- the salary must exceed. there easily could be a fee paid to the headhunter you have to factor in. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 4, 13:28 6
  - The company pays the headhunter in every situation I've ever heard of. -- nm - David Dec 4, 13:30 5
    - yes and it's usually a percentage of the job's first year pay -- nm - rollo Dec 4, 13:31 4
      - So the headhunter would be more willing to get them to play ball with a higher salary -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 4, 13:33 2
        
        The headhunter usually doesn't get involved in salary negotiations -- nm - rollo Dec 4, 13:38 1
        
        I must have had nice ones. I pushed back on an offer explaining about benefits and vacation into the equation - SyrDragon Dec 4, 13:47
      - being self employed most of my life, I did not know who paid the fee. thank you. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 4, 13:32
