What's inside the Salary Negotiator
Counter-offer range
Low / target / high figures calibrated to the role, your leverage, and US Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data.
Word-for-word phone script
A 150–280 word script you can read on the recruiter call - no awkward pauses, no giving away leverage.
Ready-to-send recruiter email
A polite, specific written counter you can copy, tweak, and send in under a minute.
Objection responses + full package
3 tailored objection responses plus signing bonus, equity, PTO, and remote-flex asks.
How to negotiate salary without losing the offer
Always counter - politely
Recruiters expect a counter and leave 5–20% headroom in the first offer. Declining to negotiate leaves money on the table and doesn't score points.
Anchor on market, not feelings
Justify the counter with role, location, and market ranges - not personal need. That's what recruiters can defend internally to their finance team.
Negotiate the whole package
Base is only one lever. Signing bonus, equity refresh, PTO, remote flexibility, and start date all have real dollar value - and are often easier to move than base.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Salary Negotiator free?+
No. The Free plan includes the ATS checker, the Resume Tailor, the Cover Letter and the LinkedIn Optimizer. The Salary Negotiator is included in Pro - a one-time purchase for a week, 30 days or 90 days, no subscription.
What do I get inside the Salary Negotiator?+
A suggested counter-offer range (low / target / high), a word-for-word phone script, a ready-to-send recruiter email, objection responses, and additional asks like signing bonus, equity, PTO, and remote flexibility.
How is the counter-offer figure calculated?+
The preview uses AI grounded in general market knowledge for the role and location. The full tool adds US Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data (25th / median / 75th percentile) for the closest matching occupation, so the counter range is anchored to published figures rather than guesses.
Should I ever accept the first offer?+
Almost never. Recruiters expect a counter and typically leave 5–20% of headroom in the initial offer. A polite, specific counter-backed by market data rarely loses an offer and often gains thousands.
Does this work for asking for a raise, not just new offers?+
Yes - pick 'Asking for a raise' at the top. The script and rationale change to fit a 1:1 conversation with your current manager instead of a recruiter negotiation.
