AI Notes for Recruiters
How to Summarize Offer Negotiations
Recruiters play a crucial role in bridging the gap between employers and candidates. During offer negotiations, it's important to capture detailed notes on candidate expectations and employer offerings. Good note-taking helps ensure clarity and consistency in communication and assists in making informed decisions. Documenting these conversations aids in transparency with stakeholders involved in the hiring process.
But what should you include in your meeting notes? We have compiled a list of key points to include in your meeting notes.
