When deciding how best to negotiate salary amounts with your employees, gather data on the salary ranges of jobs in your company. Provide a salary range that you're willing to work with. By coming from a place of openness and collaboration, you show your future employer that you are flexible and that you will work with them to achieve common goals. It's best to negotiate your salary after you've demonstrated to the company that you're the best candidate for the position and that you have a formal job offer.
