    Always worth a try, but unless you are in a position of strength then be careful about how you do this.

    If the agency operates on a fixed-margin basis, then they will have already pitched you to the client at one rate, and that will now need to increase.

    It´s easy to do just tell them the market has picked up and you´ve got an enquiries at a higher rate and it wouldn´t be worth your while otherwise. This all depends on how long you´ve been on the bench and how desperate you are. If you really need this contract you don´t want to push too hard. If the phone never stops ringing and you have several more interviews lined up then you can play hard ball.

    Quoted low but client offerring more

    Hi- I quoted low during initial discussion with the agency, having forgotten that they have advertised a higher rate. Now, the it looks quite positive after my interview with the client that I will land the role.
    Should I re-negotiate the rate with the agency?

Working...
