Job Offer Negotiation Email Template
A concise recruiter email structure for compensation, benefits, and offer-term clarification.
Open with commitment
Start by confirming enthusiasm for the role and team. The tone should make it easy for the recruiter to advocate internally.
Anchor with one compensation ask
Use one clear number or package change. If base salary is capped, ask for sign-on, earlier review timing, or additional equity.
Separate clarifying questions
Keep legal and benefits questions separate from the headline compensation ask so the recruiter can route them to HR or counsel.
