I had a company offer me a position under the original range and after I’ve turned down the role multiple times they have come back with an offer with a better title and $30k more. This huge shift put a bad taste in my mouth, but wasn’t sure if I was begin too critical because I wouldn’t operate that way as a recruiter.

The #1 reason I took my current role is because my recruiter was phenomenal. Knew taking the job would mean I could offer that to others. Earlier in my career, I was spinning the drain in certain jobs trying to counteract bad recruiting practices set forth by the company while trying to be a candidate advocate and got tired of that fast! Think of that when turning down this role. It’s not only a crappy way to treat you, it will become how you are asked to treat others. That’s so important! Not too critical at all.

Very true! Great insight.

I think you thank and decline the opportunity. Beyond the financial (offering below the range is already a red flag), two thi gs caught my eye:

1. You should trust your gut before stepping into an unknown environment. If you're getting a bad taste now, when they're trying to impress and "win you over", that's probably going to get worse once you're actually in there.

2. They're conducting the conversation with you in a way you would not operate as a recruiter. Means there is misalignment between your values and theirs. Whenever that happens, it typically does not lead to healthy long term relationship.
