Allies when negotiating over a new job: HR, manager, others ...
Daniel Ames
One piece of advice we give to people in job negotiations is to seek out your allies early on. Tap into them for information and to help lay the groundwork for your case. (This is good practice #9 in Negotiable's workbook: Leverage Other Players ... see negotiableguide.com for more info) In yesterday's webinar, we saw a few comments in the chat about whether you future manage can act as an ally as you negotiate with HR ... or whether HR might sometimes be your ally in negotiating with a manager. We've seen both cases. What's your experience? When negotiating for a new job, has there been an advocate or ally who has been helpful for you, sharing information with you and maybe lobbying internally on your behalf? How can you best find and use allies?
