Is recruitment agent bluffing
Discussion
Hi,
Went for an interview on x amount of hourly rate last week, on friday agent told me that it is a good news and offer will come through next week.
This morning had a call from an agent saying offer has come through and i asked him to negociate bit more get £5 an hour more. After an hour he came back saying client is offering £10 less than what was an intial offer, reason ? tight budget and later he said HR didn't know about per hour rates.
He asked me about my final day rate and i said i will accept the offer on x amount (£2 less than what was the inital offer).
This afternoon he said that client can't raise the day rate because i don't have skills in that and that area. So it is up to me whether i accept the offer (£10 less) or decline it.
Should i contact the client directly? I know they wont like it. What are my options? Offer is too low.
