When should you accept a Counter Offer?

Author: Loti Jackson 1st June 2020

You’ve updated your CV, spoken to recruiters, attended interviews, been offered the job and now it’s time to tell your boss that you are leaving. It can cost up to 170% of your basic salary to find a replacement so don’t be surprised if your employer makes you a counter offer.

In our latest podcast, we speak to Principal Consultant, Gemma Allen, about all the things you should consider when counter offered and if you should ever accept them.

Gemma joined Barrington James in 2016 and has gone on to become a market leader within her field as well as winning our coveted Performer of the Year award in the first year she could qualify. She has attended multiple international conferences and client meetings on behalf of the company and has many clients and candidates coming back to work with her time and time again, due to her in-depth knowledge of the industry along with her positive, proactive and friendly manner.

If you would like to discuss your career and future opportunities, then please get in touch with Gemma or someone from our global team.
