Negotiating the salary you deserveโ€ฏ Image

Negotiating the salary you deserveโ€ฏ

When seeking a new job, itโ€™s imperative to know the market, understand where you fit within it, and form a realistic salary expectation to stick to. A good talent partner will help you to know your worth within the industry and organization youโ€™re interviewing for and will assist with communicating those expectations back to the hiring manager, but no one is a better advocate for you than you.โ€ฏLearning how to negotiate a salary when you receive a job offer is a vital skill for both now and in the future, and when done appropriately, will put you in a better position not just financially, but also in terms of how valued you feel in your role. We know that feeling appreciated and adequately compensated for our time, effort, and expertise has a direct impact on productivity, engagement, and general happiness within a company, so salary negotiations play an important part for both sides.It can be difficult to communicate those expectations as a professional hoping to onboard with a new company, and there is certainly a residual stigma around speaking about money and asking for more that is hard to overcome. At LVI Associates, we have observed that professionals who negotiate their salary are presented with a much better job offer, so good communication skills and an understanding of your contribution can really pay off.โ€ฏAs a general rule, always assume the offer is up for negotiation. And donโ€™t forget to approach the process with positivity, as chances are the hiring manager isnโ€™t crazy about negotiating, either. Here are our top tips on how to negotiate for the salary you deserve.Know the industry salary trendsTrying to negotiate for a higher salary without being familiar with industry trends will get you off to a bad start. Information is your biggest asset and conducting some research as well as speaking openly to a talent partner that knows your industry, the hiring company, and what you have to offer, will vastly improve your bargaining power. You can be a negotiating pro, but without being able to back up your requests with solid reasoning, it will be harder for the hiring company to take your expectations seriously.โ€ฏPay particular attention to the most sought-after roles and skills within your industry and think about how your experience relates. Being able to recognize when your skills are transferable to a particularly in-demand area will add to your negotiation power.โ€ฏStart negotiating only when you have a firm offerThere is a process to be followed when it comes to receiving and accepting a job offer and understanding the etiquette will help your negotiation when the time comes. If you are interested in a position but it doesnโ€™t meet your salary expectation, resist the temptation to bargain until the company has given you a formal offer. This is your signal that your skills, expertise, and personality are a strong match for the business and the role and is a great asset to you when itโ€™s time to tell them why youโ€™re worth the higher salary. Once the ball is in your court, you can use the fact that they believe youโ€™re right for the job along with your understanding of the industry and the market to your advantage, making it harder for them to dismiss your requirements.It can also be worthwhile to take a reasonable amount of time to consider the offer rather than jump into negotiations. Tell the hiring manager that youโ€™re serious about the offer and the position, but that you need some time to consider the whole picture. Be gracious and enthusiastic but take the time you need to prepare for negotiations and signal to them that there may be elements of the offer that donโ€™t align with your requirements. Chances are theyโ€™ll have a counteroffer in mind for you.Build the business caseIn order for a company to seriously consider your request for an increased salary offer, it must make commercial sense for the business. Make a strong case, show that you understand the company's current financial situation, and know who has the power to negotiate.ย While likeability shouldnโ€™t be underestimated in the hiring process and a large part of your job offer will be to do with character fit, itโ€™s not enough for them to like you when it comes to financial compensation. They have to believe your worth in fiscal terms, so donโ€™t expect your personal compatibility to get you the salary increase you want. Instead, explain precisely why your requirements are justified in a business sense; your glowing personality will just make them glad your business case checked out.Suggest an exact number for your salaryTime is of the essence, and hiring managers are particularly strapped for it while conducting interviews alongside their other duties. Therefore, theyโ€™ll likely appreciate a direct approach to your negotiation in terms of giving them the exact offer youโ€™re looking for. It can be a powerful strategy in that it keeps the ball rolling and avoids pointless back and forth.โ€ฏMany studies suggest that candidates who use a specific number end up with a final offer much closer to the figure they were hoping for. Your potential employer will assume you have done your research on your market value and want to stay competitive in their offer. Don't suggest a range โ€“ you will always get offered the lowest if the manager knows there's room to haggle down.Reveal your current salary when negotiatingOutside the US, the hiring manager may ask what you are currently earning, which can be awkward if you feel you are currently being underpaid. It might be tempting to lie and state a higher salary more in line with what youโ€™re seeking, but if you're unhappy with your current pay, it can be valuable to tell them why. Include all your benefits, bonuses and confidently explain the figure you're hoping for while making the case for why. If anything, theyโ€™ll have a more genuine understanding of what you know your worth to be, and that salary is important enough for you to walk away from a role that isnโ€™t aligned with your requirements.Have a walk away pointKnow your limits and your expectations and keep them firmly in mind. Have a pre-considered โ€˜walk awayโ€™ point - the figure youโ€™re absolutely unwilling to drop below. Base this on your financial need and the market value of the role, but keep in mind the role itself. Why are you interviewing for the position in the first place? Is your passion for the work worth lowering your salary expectations?โ€ฏGet help negotiating your salarySpeaking with a specialist talent partner will help you understand your worth in the context of current industry trends and the wider job market, too.

LVI Associates Industry Insights - Deep Dive into Roofing & Waterproofing

โ€‹Jennifer Keegan, Director of Building & Science in Roofing & Waterproofing for GAF joined LVIโ€™s Sarah Lazar to discuss how to break the glass ceiling in this male dominated industry as part of International Womenโ€™s Day celebrations.ย โ€‹Watch the video or read our short summary here.ย โ€‹Progression and opportunities to learnโ€‹Wherever there is an opportunity to learn and problem-solve on the job, Jennifer accepted and took on, continuing to step our of her comfort zone and recommends to ask lots of questions throughout your career.ย โ€‹When asked how Jennifer progressed in her career, one point to note is that she attended and shadowed in meetings, which eventually lead to her first leadership role at ASTM.ย โ€‹Jennifer managers a team of experienced enclosure consultants, architects and engineers. She translates all of their experience to support the design community. The science behind how building enclosures perform well is crucial as it helps to understand the problems, and influences building design to ensure it prevails.ย โ€‹Life-long relationshipsโ€‹Jennifer has made a number of life-long relationships throughout her career. ASTM was her first industry association engagement, and she was surrounded by more senior, male figures, and they created opportunities for Jennifer to grow. She says she was given these opportunities because she fostered good relationships with people in the industry. And actually Jennifer was recruited into her current role at GAF through her engagement with ASTM.ย โ€‹Jennifer was one of the few technical women ASTM, then National Women in Roofing recruited her to join their board. From there, she worked her way from Education Chair to then the Executive Board of Directors.ย โ€‹This presented Jennifer with the chance to network with people she wouldnโ€™t have met otherwise due to industry sector and job location, and has vitally enhanced her knowledge.ย โ€‹The National Women in Roofing is also an excellent organisation that fosters a sense of solidarity and combats lack of opportunities for women within the industry.ย โ€‹Career advice for womenโ€‹Jennifer recommends embracing being part of a minority, and being seen as an underdog. Demonstrate to people that you can back up your capabilities, whether that is debating a technical issue or climbing the scaffolding, because this is where loyalty and respect will grow from, and relationships too. Overall, it really is a people business, and people work with the people they get on with. Therefore, get involved, reach out and ask questions.ย โ€‹

Why Counter-Offers are a Waste of Time and Money

โ€‹The global engineering and infrastructure sector has a busy market where skilled candidates, particularly with those who have experience in new and emerging technologies, are high in demand. If you face a note of resignation in your inbox, it is tempting as an employer to send back a counter-offer to retain your most valuable employees on the payroll.The sad reality is that those who wish to leave your company most likely donโ€™t have salary as their only or primary motivating factor. Often there are underlying issues behind the reason why they have handed in their resignation, and these wonโ€™t be solved with the money of a counter-offer. In fact, most employees who accept a counter-offer leave a company anyway within six to twenty-four months of accepting that offer.This article covers the reasons why you should rethink your choice to make a counter-offer to a leaving employee, and why counter-offers are ultimately a waste of time and money for your company.

The Benefits of Using a Specialist Recruiter to Find Talent

โ€‹Sourcing the right talent at the right time can prove arduous for any company. But the process becomes even more challenging when you work within a niche industry or sector. In these situations, a specialist recruiter can help find the perfect candidate for a hard-to-fillย role.There are several benefits a specialist recruiter can offer when looking to find niche talent:Deep Sector ExpertiseA specialist recruiter will hold valuable expertise in your sector. This deep market knowledge will include knowing โ€˜who is whoโ€™, and where the best talent is located. Specialist recruiters can also pull on their niche expertise to provide guidance on market trends such as salary expectations, desirable skill sets, new technologies and employee expectations within your sector.Help with specific and hard-to-fill rolesAcross the engineering and infrastructure sectors, teams have roles to fill with very specific requirements and have a small talent pool in which to recruit. Roles with โ€˜essential to haveโ€™ skills which are rare in the market are best placed with a specialist recruiter. They can source talent with these unique skills from the databases and relationships built to headhunt exceptional professionals. Specialist recruiters can also quickly sift through and reject unsuitable job applications which do not fit these essential requirements, saving you time.Cut recruiting costOne of the most important benefits to hiring a specialist recruitment agency is lowering the costs involved in the recruitment process. Savings come from cutting out time in the recruitment cycle and using in-house recruitment who may still lack the relationships needed to make specialist hires.Resources within your company can be better spent elsewhere while specialist recruitment agencies can help source talent who will bring further value to your company.Avoid bad hiresHiring the wrong candidate for a role can be expensive, and specialist recruiters will spend extra time and effort on ensuring a hire who is not only suitable for the role but a cultural fit who is passionate about developing a long-term career at your company.Bad hires are avoided by specialist recruiters via methods such as consulting on your job brief, benchmarking your salary offer to establish it is competitive and screening candidates throughout the process.The cost of a bad hire can be even worse than employers first think, with demotivation and poor work performance often proving contagious; and high staff turnover lowering productivity and morale as a whole.Submit your details below for a full copy of the guide:
