That’s the popular call out, when participating in the Limbo dance game … passing forward under a low bar without falling.

Too often, it’s also seemingly the internal message in corporations before offers are delivered.

Range is 90K – 120K.

At 100K he’s all in.

We’re going to offer 92K, but we have room to negotiate.

They’re offering 92K, but it’s a great company.

But I need 100K, we talked about this each time during our 19 conversations after you called me originally.

OK, let me see what we can do.

He needs 100K.

Will he take 96K?

Will you take 96K?

No, I need 100K. I’m just about ready to walk.

Wait, don’t walk.

He’s going to walk, if we can’t get to 100K.

What about 99K and a 1K sign-on.

I can’t ask him, we’ll lose him.

How about 100K, let’s get him off the street, and I’ll be sure that he knows he has to do all of the extra work that is required for success.

OK, that sounds good.

OK, great job .. you won … they’re going to give you 100K … but you gotta work hard.


If you’ve found the person you want to hire, it’s best to avoid Limbo dance offering practices because it kills the vibe and momentum … and sometimes … it turns the candidate away.

Maybe high jump hiring practices? ….


Snow today! But it’s already melting. 32-38, clouds.

Make it a great day, everyone!
