Counter Offer When You Negotiate Salary

The counter offer is a viable tool in the salary negotiation toolkit for both the employer and the job candidate. The counter offer is used to keep employee salaries within the market range while not overpaying for positions by the employer. The counter offer is used to go after the highest possible salary by the candidate. When you negotiate salary with a job candidate, you can expect that he or she will make a counter offer to your first job offer.
