5 Phases of Negotiation, Covered
From research to closing — every step with specific language and tactics you can use immediately.
Phase 1: Research
How to benchmark your market value using healthcare-specific data. Know your floor, target, and stretch numbers before any conversation.
Phase 2: Interview Handling
Exact scripts for the "salary expectations" question. How to anchor high without pricing yourself out, and gather intelligence on their budget.
Phase 3: The Counter-Offer
How to prepare and deliver your counter. Lead with a specific number, justify with market data, and negotiate beyond base salary.
Phase 4: The Conversation
Tone, phrasing, and soft language that works. How to handle pushbacks like "this is the max" or "we don't negotiate" with confidence.
Phase 5: Closing
Get everything in writing, review the final offer, and know when to accept — or when to walk away gracefully without burning bridges.
Beyond Base Salary
Sign-on bonuses, guaranteed first-year bonuses, accelerated reviews, remote flexibility, PTO, and professional development — all negotiable.
Built by People Who've Been on Both Sides
This checklist was created by Dados Consulting, a healthcare data recruiting and consulting firm led by practitioners. We've hired for these roles, negotiated these offers, and coached candidates through the process.
We know what works because we've seen it from both sides of the table — as hiring managers setting compensation and as professionals negotiating our own offers.
Stop Leaving Money on the Table
93% of people who negotiate get more than the original offer. Get the step-by-step checklist that shows you exactly how.
