CHAPTER 2 - NEGOTIATING AND CONFIRMING THE JOB

Recruiters and interviewers must discuss all the terms, conditions and responsibilities of the job with the applicant up front, no matter what type of job is being offered. This is essential to maintaining positive relations with your employees and minimizing breach of contract and wrongful termination lawsuits. Always remember that the company is in a position to dictate the terms of the job before an offer is accepted. Thus, it is important to be thorough and to discuss carefully and completely all important points of the position.
