Salary negotiation is about timing. The correct time to talk about salary is at the offer stage of the process. Talking about salary early in the process will make you look as though you are only interested in money and not the job. If asked about salary, explain that you are more interested in the position rather than compensation.
At the end of the interview thank the interviewer for their time and express interest in the company and position.
Sending a follow-up email within 48 hours of your interview to show your enthusiasm and professionalism can increase your chances of getting the position.

The next stage of the process involves research to identify candidates who fit the search criteria. These candidates are then screened in face to face meetings, including behavioral and competency based interview methodology. A short-list of qualified candidates is presented, and we then assist in facilitating interviews with selected candidates.
During the entire search process we keep our client’s informed on progress and on any issues which may arise. We manage the process taking the short listed candidates through initial and subsequent interviews with the client, and ultimately for the selected candidate to job offer. We also assist in securing the chosen candidate by completing reference checks to confirm background and competencies; ensuring that the selected candidate rejects any counteroffers; and resigns from their current employer and is ready to begin their new employment on the agreed start date.
