<p>And the winner of spot the deliberate mistake goes to S McCartt - a new tennis racquet is on it's way to you !</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments. It seems we are all in agreement on this one - and I think it reflective that this community has a good grasp on the best way to service candidates and clients.</p>

I ask my clients to extend the offer directly to the candidate. It is my take that delivering the good news should come from the new boss. Tone of voice and excitement of a deal coming together between two parties can alleviate a lot of nitpicking on both sides.<br />

A lot of my clients will ask me to run numbers past a candidate to get a feel for any pushback before a formal offer is made to be sure there are no last minute surprises or misunderstandings. If things are in the ballpark with little pieces to be worked out on questions about bonus timing, expenses etc. those are best discussed between the parties involved without a recruiter who really cn't answer immediately so has to go back and forth. This uber control crap is just that and more deals have been list and bad feeling created by a recruiter flopping around in the middle thn ever came together.<br />

I do it the same way I play tennis with a strong partner. I serve and sit down, let them play the point and cover the backcourt. When it's their turn to serve I play the net to be sure nothing gets by at a strange angle. Controlling every point is nothing but an ego need on the part of a recruiter who is always the weakest player in the interaction between an employer and a a future employee. Serve, side down, get out of the way and be ready to take a save if something gets by the other player. Luke,

<p>Luke,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I agree with you on this topic and in the right situation it does work. I have had a number of deals happen because the client was better able to "sell" the entire compensation package to the candidate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Control is nice and you can still have some control in a situation like this as long as your relationship is strong with both parties.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great post!</p>
